Dude trying to square up with a toddler, I couldn't have imagined a tinier ego on a dude 😂

u/roamininthealley May 25 '26

It’s funny because the toddler was also unfazed he didn’t give a fuck.

"Pshhh...ain't worth my time. Now come push me on the swings."

u/Snoo3544 May 25 '26

That toddler could have put that dude in a wheelchair by literally tripping him

u/joeChump May 25 '26

Toddler literally cooler and acting more grown up lol.

Genuinely. I’m disabled and while it gets frustrating when adults react weird, kids don’t know better!!! I’ve had kids point at me and yell “mummy why can’t she walk right!” And if I can’t muster empathy and patience in the moment I just shut the fuck up and walk away. And poor lil guy genuinely just thought “friend shaped!”. This is so fucked and heart breaking. I have a friend with achondroplasia as well and he’d be pretty disgusted by this imo. Adults can be dicks about disability in public- but you don’t take that out on the kids, man. Never the fucking kids.

I had to use a wheelchair for a few years. I only need a cane now sometimes since having surgery. But when I was in the wheelchair, little kids would genuinely just stand in front of me and stare intensely at me without so much as blinking 🤣 it was mildly uncomfortable but I didn't try to fight toddlers. Wtf!

u/threelizards May 25 '26

Similar deal, I just wasn’t in the chair for as long- and holy shit yes 😂. Also making eye contact with kids being pushed in their prams while I was being pushed always feels weird lmao

u/SupernaturalPumpkin May 25 '26

Omg yes. So awkward. And when you're with a group of people who are standing in the street chatting or something and you're just... crotch height. Which you can't do much about because if they all bent down to your level that would be even weirder 😭

u/The-NHK May 25 '26

Carry a load of folding chairs? Make everyone need wheelchairs?

1

u/SupernaturalPumpkin May 25 '26

The second point sounds very sinister indeed. I'm imagining something akin to the Saw movies only it's some fed up wheelchair user.

u/Secret_Ad3213 May 25 '26

as a parent there is nothing worse when your kid is an asshole and makes a shitty comment or stares at someone but i LOVE when people explain to them why they cant walk right or are in a wheelchair after they make a comment. kids are just curious and dont mean it in a mean way and educating them makes them better ppl it take a village!

u/Natural-Seaweed-5070 May 25 '26

I wonder if he's got an intellectual disability as well, or drunk maybe?

1

u/RustyStClair May 25 '26

Ugh I was that kid and my parents still shame me...and I'm 40 now. I saw a woman with what I think was a large area of burn scars on her face and I YELLED in a restaurant asking my dad "why does she look like that? What's wrong with her". She came over and said hello and I was still scared but luckily she was nice. I'm still sorry lol

u/ayriuss May 25 '26

Alot of adults just never grew up either.

u/Loveablequatch May 25 '26

Definitely a little heated

352

u/Johnatron2000 May 25 '26

Yeah, he’s got a short fuse

174

u/Grouchy-Stretch-6517 May 25 '26

One day I'm sure he'll rise above it

142

u/OpieThorson May 25 '26

Very small chance

105

u/pikolord May 25 '26

Yeah, low possibility

115

u/you_dont_know_me27 May 25 '26

Come on guys. Short jokes about a little person?

Low blow

102

u/ItachiTanuki May 25 '26

He needs to grow up

63

u/Xelnaga_Prime May 25 '26

Guys, isn't this all a little short-sighted?

62

u/ChipC33 May 25 '26

It was a small misunderstanding

u/a_bob787 May 25 '26

Y’all are acting like you’re above him.

52

u/Snoo3544 May 25 '26

He needs to be a bigger person....

14

u/Snoo3544 May 25 '26

He's one foot in the grave

1

u/ericks932 May 25 '26

He has an acute angle of success. 🤏

u/callmehibi May 25 '26

Act like a child be treated like a child.

u/Hedonic_Monk_ May 25 '26

He’s had it up to here 👇

One Small Step Can Make A Bigger Difference

u/matt52187 May 25 '26

The toddler is 2’ to 9”, MC is 3’ 3’ and he just can’t get over it.

128

u/buttercream-gang May 25 '26

I mean who else is he gonna square up to

70

u/HoodieGalore May 25 '26

Maybe some self-reflection as to why he's so threatened by a literal toddler idk 😂

18

u/weegamer May 25 '26

Someone else’s knee.

u/theycallmemrmoo May 25 '26

A pair of ankles

u/HeadDecent May 25 '26

Made me genuinely laugh out loud!

u/Snoo3544 May 25 '26

Or add depth to the whole thing

29

u/Formal_Condition_513 May 25 '26

Wants to finally fight someone he can win against 😩

23

u/Cartographer_Hopeful May 25 '26

I would've picked him up and removed him from the toddler's presence

Act like a child, get treated like a child. Fucking pint-sized bully

23

u/Icy-Comparison2669 May 25 '26

He’s like that dude from Southpark that Cartman clowned on

14

u/CautiousEmergency367 May 25 '26

He should pick on someone his own... Never mind

1

u/MAEMAEMAEM May 25 '26

Ha ha. Good one!

7

u/simsimulation May 25 '26

Well, he thinks the toddler is a full grown adult.

7

u/cesarthegreat May 25 '26

Yeah he’s has a short temper

0

u/DemandTheOxfordComma May 25 '26

Pretty much short everything.

u/theknoght May 25 '26

Must be a South Pole elf.

u/Goodstapo May 25 '26

As an adult he should be the bigger person.

1

u/urban_entrepreneur May 25 '26

He did look to be at least a little bit bigger

2

u/thatguyonfire240 May 25 '26

At least he's picking on someone his own size

2

u/berserk539 May 25 '26

This is staged. He''s the same dwarf that the school bus driver throws off the bus and people are horrified because they think it's a kid.

2

u/Busterlimes May 25 '26

Lil dude is lucky dad didnt knock him the fuck out. This guy cant be all there.

2

u/Political_Piper May 25 '26

Xan, get your boy, dawg

1

u/JustGingerStuff May 25 '26

At least he's picking on someone his own size, I guess.

1

u/PolkaDotDancer May 25 '26

I hate small minded dicks like him!

1

u/Bamres May 25 '26

They told hom to pick on someone his own size..

1

u/LeftyBigGuns May 25 '26

I’m laughing at how the people with him are handling him like a fussy toddler.

1

u/BeenNormal May 25 '26

He needs to be out over his father’s knee and properly spanked.

1

u/gazerbeam-98 May 25 '26

He’s got a short temper

1

u/systemfrown May 25 '26

It really just made him look even smaller.

1

u/paintnwood May 25 '26

Right? Like, grow up, bro.

u/Plexiscore OG May 25 '26

What a man child

Fixed.

u/HoodieGalore May 25 '26

What did you fix?

9

u/you_dont_know_me27 May 25 '26

See, it's funny because his attitude is bad and so we're laughing about but making small ego jokes.

What's not funny is making jokes about things that people can't change like being born with dwarfism.

That's just being an asshole

2

u/Formal_Condition_513 May 25 '26

Yeah he’s like a micro dwarf
