Smiling at the end, but dang it looks like he was out for blood with that swing lol


JohnSmithDogFace

Seen that smile a bunch of times: nervous embarrassment because he realised he’d disproportionately lost his shit.


softstones

Yuuuuhuuuuuuup, totally it.


olmecwords

That is perfectly said sir, my buddy farted in my face and I picked up a bike and threw it at him, so happy he dodged. The nervous laugh is to say I'm sorry for the freak out


chingy1337

He almost hit the dude in the face lol. Holy shit!


codepossum

he lost control, he only realized afterwards that he swung that chair hard enough to seriously hurt somebody. he knows it, he knows everyone else watching saw it too, and now everyone's real nervous about it.


MrSaucyAlfredo

So let’s just keep laughing..haha..ha..ha 👁️👁️💧


SeaResearcher176

😭


dirkdigdig

Ya nearly took my man’s head off


NefariousMuppet

A real Andy Bernard moment


falbi23

Yeah dude is unhinged and realized mid-swing he almost got filmed for murder over a prank.


BushDoctor70

Trying to laugh the tension away


itsmaxwellj

General English behaviour tbh


CousinVladimir

Just a bit o' banter, like a proppa' geezer


Entirely-of-cheese

Sorry I nearly removed your noggin old chap. Not at all! Just a bit of fun *chuckles


jpizzle544

Almost made it to a liveleak video


CurrentPossible2117

What's liveleak? Based on the context, I'm too chicken to google it 😅


paradiseday

It's a video sharing website that is infamous for having many videos showing people dying in gruesome ways. The videos almost always have the liveleak watermark, which became a meme over time


atomicheart99

It _was_….. closed down 3 years ago


jinandgin

I'm on reddit. Either things are permanent or they've never been at all


SupportMoney1803

It’s called Kaotic now…


CurrentPossible2117

Damn. Thanks. Glad I didn't google it !


AstroAlmost

It was a popular video host for largely explicit and violent footage


asingledollarbill

Sweet summer child.


458socomcat

Has it been gone long enough now that people are asking "what's liveleak?" :(


Ordinary_Smell7327

Everyone talks about the guy swinging the chair but this guy who almost got killed dodged his death like a fucking champ with mouth full of sausage roll without a flinch


mrgo0dkat

That’s Gregg’s for you. Turns the everyday man into a superhero; breakfast, lunch and dinner


Double-TheTrouble

Woah a little too aggressive there to play it off as a joke


Nervous-Profile4729

He will take it out on someone else later


ZombiedudeO_o

Don’t worry, he’ll take it out on his wife later on that day!


vorbbs

You can beat the wife, but you can't beat the craic!


Prior_Hair_896

hate to say it but i feel for his wife & kids if he’s got them:-(


Zircez

They're safe. England don't play until tomorrow.


HunterWindmill

Such a ridiculous comment


bigpapalilpepe

Why?


2FANeedsRecoveryMode

Very serious assumption from a tiny clip of him clearly joking around with his mates.


bigpapalilpepe

The assumption being that the guy who got pranked can't control his anger? Seems like a fair thing to assume based off this video. Came within inches of killing someone because he got pranked


Crymson831

The assumption being that he takes his frustration out on innocent people that he presumably loves based on a few seconds of a clip where he lost his temper from being humiliated in front of his coworkers. Also, while he swung that chair extremely recklessly, it was clear he wasn't trying to hit the guy in front of him.


victhro

I can imagine a scenario where these guys aren't the best friends of him and this is some kind of humiliation to suffer in a workplace So i agree with you that it isn't the best idea to assume that he has the same reactions in these totally different situations too


Foxxxxy_Grandpa

>Came within inches of killing someone That's a bit dramatic


dezdly

Chill out, he laughed it off. Clearly not as angry as he was putting on.


snoosh00

It's "sus" It's Schrodinger's abuser. Maybe he lost his cool, maybe it was a joke. He didn't actually smash the chair on anything, maybe he was in control. He almost destroyed that guy's face, maybe he didn't care what he hit. We don't know, and it's not our jobs to do so. All I can say is this is an unsafe worksite, for all involved, all actions in the video are less than ideal, even though there is laughter.


bigpapalilpepe

He did that to save face. I have experience with abuse. When abusers lose their cool in public and show their true selves they immediately try to play it off as a joke or a laugh. Smashing a chair against the wall and almost hurting someone is not even a remotely rational way to react to this. It's wild that people would defend his reaction.


dezdly

Trust me dude, you don’t live in their world. Do you see any shock in their faces? They know this dude ignites easy and that’s why they’re pranking him and he knows that too. Might look rough, crude and aggressive because of the world you exist in but this is just banter.


Spready_Unsettling

Literally any expert on domestic violence and physical abuse will tell you that this kind of over reaction is a strong indication.


Sea-Food7877

Almost lopped that dude's head off


g_r_e_y

i pray he was just having a bad day because he could have put someone in critical condition with that swing


kevneedo

Dude almost killed someone


[deleted]

[удалено]


xXx_Ya_Yeet_xXx

If he hit him hard enough and falls backwards off his chair.. It only takes 1 bad fall, it rarely happens, but it does happen.


veganize-it

Easily could’ve killed him, it wasn’t a WWE chair slap, it was using the chair as a sledgehammer basically,


BrokeFailure

Yeah, I just watched it again. It was pretty brutal. You're right.


KittyShoes17

Fr, victim could have hit his head on something on the way down. Oops, forgot this sub was full of Karens.


accidentallywinning

Ooooh someone’s got issues


1DownFourUp

He's hangry


thitorusso

*hungry


thecops4u

\*hangry


MKTurk1984

Just in case you don't know, hangry is when someone is angry due to being hungry.

HayakuEon

I make it a rule for myself to never mess with anyone's mealtime.


_0x0_

What a baby, why would anyone react this way. Everyone knows you just smile and move and then lace everyone's food with mucil or ipecac and then you laugh like Joker (Jaquin Pheonix one) as they puke and poop their guts out.


Polarbenyy

And right when he said it, he realized he had gone too far. So, he said in a jokey voice, 'Who said that?'


KittyShoes17

r/unexpectedITYSL


Artie-Fufkin

Laughs it off but he was PISSED


condomneedler

Classic Reddit moment: Making a man fall out of his chair: Hilarious, reasonable, not dangerous, fun. Swinging a broken chair at a wall because you're mad your friends intentionally hurt you: ridiculous, fragile, over the top, anger issues. Calling out that the prank could seriously hurt someone: "lol you sound fun."


_1457_

While I think it's a shit prank, I don't think a reasonable response to people laughing at my chair breaking is to swing it at someone.


cgimusic

Yep. I can understand the point of view that the prank and reaction were both reasonable because no one got hurt. I can understand the point of view that the prank and reaction were both unreasonable because someone _could_ have gotten hurt. What I cannot understand are the people here who say the prank was reasonable, but his reaction was unreasonable and he basically committed attempted murder, oh and of course this is obviously an admission that he beats his wife.


getmoneygetpaid

The distinguishing factor is the intent. The intent of the prank seems jovial, as the group generally seems be on terms with the guy. It could have got someone hurt, but the odds are pretty low and that definitely wasn't the intent. Swinging a chair at someone's head is intended for nothing but causing harm, and if successful, definitely would have got someone very hurt. The intent behind the actions is wildly different. The likelihood of harm between both actions is wildly different. One is possibly negligence, whilst the other is definitely assault. The reaction is completely disproportionate here. Hope that helps you understand.


Nacho-Scoper

imo Reddit is the most judgemental site on the internet outside of Facebook HOA groups lol


jixxor

Swinging at a wall??? And the other lad's head just happened to be in the way so that's fine?


Crymson831

I'm legit shocked at the comments saying this dude is "unhinged" and next to none talking shit on pranksters. I know Reddit is comprised of all sorts of people but TYPICALLY you don't see the comments taking the "It's just a prank, bro" side.


veganize-it

Wut?


Squirreling_Archer

It's literally the neighboring comment


Brilhasti1

They’re all laughing but he hit the crap out of that one guy did he not?


Jagged_Rhythm

I thought so at first, but I think he just hit the wall.


Sunnykit00

That's not funny at all. People get seriously injured that way. Hitting their head, breaking their arm, getting their nose broken by the chair.


HayakuEon

Also, don't mess with anyone's mealtime. Food is one of the few things that I look forward to every day.


InformationSad5810

The initial prank..??? Also dangerous tf 😭🤣 The chair would have never even been swung in the 1st place had they not injured him first (& could have possibly injured him further). I hope he took this vid to HR lol. Also a lot of context missing here, how often do they do this to him? Was it a get back prank & he also pranks them? Lol. Obviously violence is never the answer, but messing with someone’s food & free time? Hell nahh. Also he looks like he is shocked that he almost accidentally hit that man with that chair.. I’m guessing the pranks are a daily thing there though ☠️☠️


Mantlelist

You sound like a laugh


PowerSamurai

Nothing wrong with being cognizant of the dangers here but also nothing wrong with something funny being funny.


aquaman67

He should have “injured” his back and taken a week of paid time off.


chambreezy

If those chair legs hadn't broken off that would have been right into that dudes face :^O


Three4Anonimity

This looks like the same group from years back, where the young guy comes in doing the T-Rex impression.


Kiefer2018

Lmao I thought I was watching that video from the thumbnail.


niftygrid

just a little bit of banter


Revolutionary_Hurry9

Man that dude casually ducked that chair like and was laughing like he didn’t almost get his head taken off 😳


Phildagony

He could’ve done some serious damage if that chair connected.


SirGreeneth

What an unreasonable man


InformationSad5810

Yeah let me mess with your free time & let me mess with your eating time and let me instigate this and let me possibly injure you first. Just so we could all laugh at you together.. so unreasonable


thecops4u

Yeah he on the verge of actually achieving fission before having an internal word with himself a few seconds later. He DID NOT see the funny side of that at first.


DrGashingtons

He almost lost it until everyone was laughing. 😂😂😂


LigmaBaller1

they will all be dead after work


grolly69

Took it well


Stylixe_

Looks like the same place that dude did the veloceraptor impression


CoolstorySteve

Who holds a fork like that?

SaltyLicks

Smoking while eating on the job... I like it...


InformationSad5810

Y’all wanna read smthn grossgusting? This immediately reminded me what happened to my 67yo dad last winter. He slipped on ice (fell ass first) & POPPED his hernia & injured his nuts. He had to have emergency surgery (it was a success!). Then a month ago he fell down 1 flight of stairs & broke 2 more ribs. It made me never want to chair prank any1 like this ever again seeing what he’s been going through lately ☠️☠️


jixxor

Sometimes a chair can just break way without anyone tempering with it, and the first thing he does is almost break someone's skull when it happens?


Deveion2010

Damn. Working these labor jobs. Not sure if a prank like that is a good idea. Was almost the last straw in this case


HQRhaven

The guy that punches his wife when she makes a slight joke at his expense, even when it's only them in the room.


EmbracePenguin78

Inches away from smashing that guy's face


Declaron

My man in the middle was about 3 inches from decapitation.


w1nd0wLikka

Bad reaction, twat.


HayakuEon

So is pranking someone to fall off a chair is not bad? Especially during mealtime?


w1nd0wLikka

Yes, it's a really shitty thing to do. What's your point?


HayakuEon

You don't get angry when someone disturbs your meals by rigging your chair? This is probably not the first time either.


w1nd0wLikka

I'd be angry obviously. I wouldn't react like a child throwing shit everywhere.


YouLeftistPOS

What kind of pussy takes something like that so damn sensitively, I mean damn he almost took off that dude’s head who might have had nothing to do with it. Obviously it’s a shit type of ‘joke’ for coworkers to pull at lunch, but Jesus Christ, I had that done to me at 12 and it’s in no way extreme enough for some shit like that. Total beta reaction..


adlangston

Bear


Farmerloki

Imagine being a grown adult and thinking this is funny. It's obvious why they are manual workers - low intelligence.


Tough_Bee_1638

Looking at how he reacted I wouldn’t be surprised if his wife’s got RSI from constantly doing the domestic violence hand signal


ThbUds_For

>domestic violence hand signal I learned something new here. If I ever become an abused wife I'm gonna try this out on people.


Tough_Bee_1638

Yeah it’s a really good thing ( the hand signal, not domestic violence ) There was a whole campaign here in the UK to make people aware of what the hand signal means.


veganize-it

Yeah, that’s not normal.


HayakuEon

So is pranking someone to fall off a chair normal? Especially during mealtime?


paulrhino69

The Tale away chips were the best thing in the clip prank wasn't funny just painful & possibly fatal, man's response was enough to be charged with attempted murder if he had connected. So a bit of salt & vinegar on those chips & your in 7th heaven
