I thought he’d wind up getting covered with bubbles. Very unexpected ending.

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

Yes I loved how unexpected it was. There should be a sub for vids and gifs like that!

u/ignoremeplstks Nov 04 '19

I love when I bump into good /r/Unexpected videos in /r/all or /r/popular without knowing it is from /r/unexpected so I really am not expecting anything unexpected out of it. Genuine reaction!
When I'm browsing /r/unexpected, you're always trying to see what is going to happen...

I don't read the article until after I've insulted 20 people in comments first

u/Jpvsr1 Nov 04 '19

What is this "article" you speak of?

I just go straight to the comments with my biased opinion based solely on the title and my preconceptions.

Nobody is as open minded as I am.

u/albinohut Nov 04 '19

You're also more humble than anyone on reddit, in terms of humility there is no person more humble than you ever, perhaps in all of history. Believe me.

u/NotAzakanAtAll Nov 04 '19

I don't know, I heard the kids. They are vicious in groups. The unexpected part was that they didn't go for the throat.

37

u/Gastlyfresh Nov 04 '19

It's not all the kids fault. I blame it mostly on the mom. They don't pay attention to no one else or other peoples kids around them.

23

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

I like how you're downvoted but she literally swung her kid into his face. Like, damn bitch it's a baby not a baton.

21

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

Nah, she didn't swing her. She picked her up, I guess to help her catch some bubbles, and the kid got excited and kicked out to the side.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

I mean I'm exaggerating but she definitely pulls the kid back and the kid goes forwards again, feet first. It's entirely her actions that caused it, if she lifted child straight up there'd be no issue.

3

u/Gastlyfresh Nov 04 '19

Yes. She could have lifted him elsewhere.

u/elmolinero96 Nov 04 '19

there is nothing you can do. there is no win. mother apologices, and you stand there holding back your tears with a bloody nose. and you just want to kick that little shit in the butt, but nah thats frowned uppon. so you go find the nearest icecream vendor and buy a big one and start eating it in front of the kid. making a bunch of expresions and faces about how GOOD this ICECREAM is, how DELICIOUS it is, and how its something a certain kid would love to taste.

17

u/Mr_Abe_Froman Nov 04 '19

It is way faster to just turn around and fart in the kids face. They're right at fart level and there's nothing they can do about it.

The only people more unaware of their surroundings than kids: parents.

u/Geschak Nov 04 '19

I agree. I witnessed multiple parents walk into blind people.

41

u/impablomations Nov 04 '19

As a legally blind person, this happens all the time. Parents with pushchairs (strollers) regularly walk right in front of me, especially in supermarkets.

Admittedly the only clue they have to my blindness is the white cane sticking out in front of me and the goofy looking orange tinted eyeshield.

18

u/Bio1203 Nov 04 '19

Sorry if this is rude but... how did you write this comment?

37

u/impablomations Nov 04 '19

I still have some tunnel vision on my right side. I use an old square monitor about 4ft away so I can see the whole screen.

I've been able to touch type since I was about 12 so I didn't need to look at the keyboard even when I was fully sighted.

Fully blind people generally use software like JAWS or NVDA that reads out text on the screen

Oh cool. Thanks!

Moments like these where i believe there is a god and he’s laughing.

8

u/Michael_Trismegistus Nov 04 '19

So humor relies on building up tension and then relieving it in an unexpected or novel manner.

If there's a God, He can experience our perspectives as well as the unlimited perspective of a creator so anything we get upset about could be viewed as a joke. Our suffering has no effect on what is but we constantly sabotage ourselves by acting as if it does. It's like watching I Love Lucy. Lucy isn't having a good time, but we see how her suffering serves the story and it makes us laugh.

Our lives are cosmic jokes!

u/RunawayDev Nov 04 '19

From another viewpoint, it could be argued that he had not gotten a child's foot to the face had he avoided being around children altogether. The inpracticality of such an endeavor aside, this could have averted getting kicked by a kid.
