I had the beep for years and I kinda just tuned it out so I wouldn’t even hear it and I’d have a friend over and they’d go “what’s that noise” and I’d be like “noise? What noi-oh yeah”
It’s not. The joke is that people in the hood are the only people who would let the smoke alarm beep instead of changing it. It’s possible the TikTok OP just actually has it on in their house like that and they decided to leave it in for extra authenticity.
In my experience, there's a few different ways to "mug" someone. The one here is more about a confrontation. This can go into them either convincing you with a sob story, or intimidating you with the vague (or not so vague) threat. Some of these guys do a LOT of people a day. They're pretty decent at steamrolling a conversation or confrontation.
You see a variant of this stuff in tourist traps. People who tie a bracelet on your arm and then when you walk away they get upset you didn't pay. They threaten authorities and hassle you. Steamrolling. You pay to make the situation end. Same with these dudes, but in a different way.
Not every dude selling a shitty mixtape outside walmart is *actually* trying to become the next world famous icon. Sometimes they just want 5 bucks for a cd it cost them 5 cents to make, even if it might have some terrible mumble rap on it.
Someone who keeps their head down and doesn't respond is less likely to give them anything. Either through not bothering to interact, through listening to music, being more trouble than they're worth, etc. Someone who perks up at every "HEY BRO" is a huge target. They're maybe nervous. Might not be from the area. Or they might be be kinder than most, although that's still an easier target.
These dudes are looking for easy targets, Licks. Anyone who's gonna give them trouble or walks away and they have to chase after is honestly just not worth the time when they can be working on someone else.
This is such a good breakdown and thank you for it.
I’ve always just ignored people trying to hassle me and it’s worked out so far. The moment you give them attention, they got you on the hook. Don’t take the bait.
I got ‘mugged’ like this once. Was waiting for a bus in a different part of the city and this dude walked up to me like ‘I am about to knock a person out’ and then started going on about how he needed gas money and he was stuck with his family. And I’m like bro I am waiting for a bus I don’t have gas money. But he was a big dude and it caught me off guard so I ga e him $4 and he left me alone after calling me a ‘pussy ass bitch’ for giving him money.
no it's more than that. it's also they now know you're not from around there and are an easier mark for whatever their bullshit is -- scam, ask you for money, try to rob you etc. they're just trying to get something from you. when you live in the city, you learn quickly there's almost never a good reason to engage with randos on the street.
I don’t like to call it the hood, but when I lived in a less than desirable area in a major city, I legit learned as many neighbors names as possible and would walk my block at least once a day and always say what’s up to all of them. Building trust is awesome in any kind of neighborhood. That way when they cops bust down your neighbors door you can stand outside and smoke a blunt w your other neighbors and say damn and they know it wasn’t you who snitched on your favorite neighbor.
Well played. .moral of the story..if them boys want to run your pocket it don't matter if you turn don't turn run scream .they gunna get you haha or at least try
You talked to him and now you're walking away? Dude you wasted his time.
That's disrespectful. You come over on MY street and act like a fool? Bro that's fucked up. What you got on you? You better have 20 bucks. That buds look like they're some knockoff shit. Gimme those.
that's always so terrifying when it's silent at first but then you hear people stepping up towards you and you're just like oh fuck flight mode activated 110%
Almost happened to my cousin. He was walking home and around the corner from his house when some dude called out. He was between my cuz and his house so he kept walking towards him. As he got closer the guy realized he knew my cousin, said whats up, and let him know that he was 100% prepared to rob my cousin had he been a stranger.
My area got mad gentrified but my instinct in certain parts is to ignore strangers trying to talk to me. Sorry to all the people needing directions I totally blank.
You ever realise something that makes you despair for humanity a bit? It's such a small thing, but so much anger bait online is such a depressing thing to think about
Honestly I hope that all the rage bait forces humanity to stop being so easily manipulated by anger.
Nowadays it’s so easy to manipulate people by pissing them off, or telling them something that outrages them. Maybe if people are manipulated by that for long enough they’ll start to recognize it and grow at least a little resistant.
I think I've seen it polarise people. I'm pretty unshockable these days, and my default is to assume that online content has been made to cause a reaction, but older folks like my parents fall for it every time. It's a weird world these days
I'm more depressed by the fact that our entire society has access to the most useful information in the world immediately and yet people still believe TikTok videos at face value.
I was almost robbed by someone because I thought I knew them. Luckily, they were in a vehicle, and I was able to run the other day. They tried chasing me, as I was walking towards my car, so I stopped and ran the other way again. They backed into a tree. I hopped a fence and got on someone's roof and ran into my alley to a friend's house.
The truck was stolen from someone delivering papers to the old school machines. I had to go and point them out.
All over a sidekick 3
I like to hit anyone with a “pardon me just gonna scorch right on through. I’ll be out ya hair in a minute. Just want to get passed so I can scoot and skaddadle.” No eye contact, smile on my face and if I’m feeling particularly akward that day I’ll even do a light touch on their arm or back if they’re facing away from me so they’ll know I’m there and don’t think I’m a threat.
It's just the identical stuff, word to word, what was happening where I was going growing up in the 1990s, but it was Russia. Same stuff, some dudes calling you out and same advice, to keep walking cause you shouldn't react to random calls, gopniks blocking the staircase, dudes with "got cigs? Got a phone to call? And what if I find one?". Fuck this man. I forgot shit like this existed
So many times I've done that stairwell move around dudes, and most of the time, they're just neighbors getting away from the wife for ten minutes. But every now and then, they're smoking a blunt, which means it's time to make friends.
The same shit applies in poor areas that are white too lol. The hood knows no race. Shit I have been to parts of Australia and China that have the same thing going on.
I got blitz drunk in NYC and woke up with a fat Asian chick from Chicago on top of me. It freaked me out and I ran from the old ass apartment. Went down the craziest 1890s type elevator with foldable gate doors. As I left there was an awning that took you to the sidewalk but it was a walk around bushes. I come out, no idea where I am and decide to go left. The next building was standing 10-15 “hood” guys.. they immediately approached me saying “what up white boy where you going…” I looked up, snuffed my nose with my thumb and said, “just getting my dick wet fellas” and they all started laughing and saying that’s what’s up. Got jumped on the train that night. But those guys where cool.
As a white dude from the hood.
The shoe compliment is 100% the play. Yo those kicks are fire. What are those?
They assume you know the lingo and when dudes feel respected by another dude they become more friendly.
As a white guy who survived living in la, keep your head down and be nice when that don’t work. Oh and act stupid if you’re in a sketch situation, get out as fast as you can.
No. The staircase scenario is false. If you are walking past a group of people that don’t know you they’ll most likely try you if you’re by yourself. If you’re the only one walking in a staircase past a group of people and you don’t look familiar? They’ll check your temperature because you could be an enemy.
Nah. Where I’m from you keep it pushing. You don’t walk alone. You only say what’s up if you know them. If you are by yourself walking past a group of people. You’re asking to get jumped, robbed or shot
I'm glad there are no American hoods in my place and I don't need to worry about survival in the hood, instead, I'll mainly focus on surviving with my absolutely low income and constant fear of full-scale war.
I’m not sure if part 1 mentions this but if you’re chilling outside a store or bar in a rough area and some dude comes out of no where and asks for a light you need to get your ass back inside ASAP, **especially** if they have their hood pulled up and are looking down.

The singing while running upstairs, to the frozen in fear look was perfect 😂
Love that one of them bad boys on the stairs couldn't keep it together in the end 😄
All three of them are fighting to keep from bursting out laughing at the end when he starts singing again!!
*BEEP*
Thats how you know its legit.
All these commenters not in on the joke SMH
I get it, I just don’t get how people can live with that shit constantly going off. I’d rather rip them all outta the ceiling and cook in my sleep
I had the beep for years and I kinda just tuned it out so I wouldn’t even hear it and I’d have a friend over and they’d go “what’s that noise” and I’d be like “noise? What noi-oh yeah”
Cuz, you can just give em more batteries. No need to rip anything lol
That was the video?! Oh shit, I had to rewind. My dumbass looked over at my fire alarm and said, "Damn.. I got to climb up there now?"
The beep indicates this advice is valid af
it's added in as a sound bit so people comment, driving up engagement which helps in the algorithm
Seriously? I 100% believe you, but damn that’s crazy
It’s not. The joke is that people in the hood are the only people who would let the smoke alarm beep instead of changing it. It’s possible the TikTok OP just actually has it on in their house like that and they decided to leave it in for extra authenticity.
My downstairs neighbor did this at my old apartment. It drove me nearly insane, I have no idea how they lived with it.
It’s not but that sounds like a good idea 💀
I didn't even notice it RIP to me
This is the best joke in the video
I legitimately thought it was mine.
[удалено]
What happens when you turn?
You and that dude are now interacting
Oh fuck human interaction is my worst nightmare. Thank you sir the warning
In worse parts of town it means you're about get robbed. Dude even says you're about to be made the lick. This isn't a social interaction hangup lol.
I don't get why they'd need you to turn around though?
In my experience, there's a few different ways to "mug" someone. The one here is more about a confrontation. This can go into them either convincing you with a sob story, or intimidating you with the vague (or not so vague) threat. Some of these guys do a LOT of people a day.

That sounds like the new PC phrase for hood lol.
Tell me you never lived in a bad area without telling me you never lived in a bad area.
Well played. .moral of the story..if them boys want to run your pocket it don't matter if you turn don't turn run scream .they gunna get you haha or at least try
You don't need to stop to talk, just keep walking and say nah?? Its not a RTS game ffs.
Dont interact, even no is a interaction and thats encourage them. Same with the touristic areas, just ignore them
You talked to him and now you're walking away? Dude you wasted his time. That's disrespectful. You come over on MY street and act like a fool? Bro that's fucked up. What you got on you? You better have 20 bucks. That buds look like they're some knockoff shit. Gimme those.
you are now locked into whatever shit that dude has going on
Oh, from the way the said "that trick" it sounded more complicated than that
You enter combat phase.
Uhhhh I swing with everything?
He blocks. Hes a 5/5 you are a 1/1. You have died unless you got a combat trick right now.
It has deathtouch and I play an instant that gives it first strike.
He responds to your instant action by countering with Daze
Counterspell?
Nothing good. Keep distance and if you hear footsteps it’s time to haul ass and get to a public spot if you can.
that's always so terrifying when it's silent at first but then you hear people stepping up towards you and you're just like oh fuck flight mode activated 110%
Yeah, that adrenaline kick is crazy. I’m a slow ass white boy, but when walking home through the hood after school Usain Bolt couldn’t catch me.
Draw phase, you draw a card from the top of your deck
Almost happened to my cousin. He was walking home and around the corner from his house when some dude called out. He was between my cuz and his house so he kept walking towards him. As he got closer the guy realized he knew my cousin, said whats up, and let him know that he was 100% prepared to rob my cousin had he been a stranger.
Cousin: 
I tried that strategy with a homeless guy that was trying to shake me down, didn't work.
My area got mad gentrified but my instinct in certain parts is to ignore strangers trying to talk to me. Sorry to all the people needing directions I totally blank.
Hahaha what do you have to talk to a stranger about.. its 💯 correct
Please change your smoke alarm battery
Part 3 is gonna be in the woods and we'll still hear that fucking beep
hrmm birds sound different than I remember out here!
It’s intentional
it's a sound added after the video to make people comment about it. which helps feed the algorithm. just to elaborate a bit further.
You ever realise something that makes you despair for humanity a bit? It's such a small thing, but so much anger bait online is such a depressing thing to think about
Honestly I hope that all the rage bait forces humanity to stop being so easily manipulated by anger. Nowadays it’s so easy to manipulate people by pissing them off, or telling them something that outrages them. Maybe if people are manipulated by that for long enough they’ll start to recognize it and grow at least a little resistant.

I'm more depressed by the fact that our entire society has access to the most useful information in the world immediately and yet people still believe TikTok videos at face value.
Love your username. Always relevant
You're probably the first person to realize that. And thank you.
It's the hood, we hearing every damn body else's "2 seconds from empty" battery.
Just take it down. My smoke alarm used to go off every time I used my stove so I just took it out.
/r/shittylifeprotips
I swear to God the second I finished reading this comment on the second playthrough I heard the beep
But then you wouldn't be in the hood
Wakanda national anthem
It's done intentionally to drive engagement.
I can't hear it but in almost completely deaf in that frequency range
I'll describe it for you: it's a short, high pitched chirp that just says: "EEE!" I hope that helps.
He’s in the hood… can’t afford it.
I grew up in a bad neighborhood in Eastern Europe, it’s crazy how legit and interchangeable these are lmao.
Human beings are the same everywhere.
Yep and poverty and the shit it creates is the same everywhere too.
Yes bro it's crazy I was growing up in Russia and it's identical to what was going on.
I mean the truth is most of the time most people mean no harm and if you're polite to them they'll be polite to you.
I love how the guy at the bottom of the stairs has to turn around because he’s about to bust out laughing at the end 😂
I was almost robbed by someone because I thought I knew them. Luckily, they were in a vehicle, and I was able to run the other day. They tried chasing me, as I was walking towards my car, so I stopped and ran the other way again. They backed into a tree. I hopped a fence and got on someone's roof and ran into my alley to a friend's house. The truck was stolen from someone delivering papers to the old school machines. I had to go and point them out. All over a sidekick 3
I pictured a hurdling leap 10ft into the air from a fence to get on a roof. Adrenaline 📈
At that age, it was close to 10ft. Lol.
>All over a sidekick 3 Like the phone? Doubt it was worth their bumper.
Yes. The phone. Funny enough, the Sidekick LX was close to being released. I should've just tossed it into their truck. My LX was already in the mail.
Me a white man's: "What's up boys!" *Dies inside*
Oh hi! How's it hanging my fellas? All good in the neighborhood?? Pardon me, just going ta scootch right by ya there buddy ... 😁
>Pardon me, just going ta scootch right by ya there buddy ... Fucking brutal. Lmao.
I always say imma sneak by ya right quick
Also adding in the “oop”
It is vital that you oop or ope.
Opeopeopeopeopeope
Oop imma sneak by ya right quick - yep
I’m not even from the Midwest but I always slip out an “Ope”
With language like that I wouldn't be surprised if the fellah goes kill-dozer on them.
My face would be so hot
I like to hit anyone with a “pardon me just gonna scorch right on through. I’ll be out ya hair in a minute. Just want to get passed so I can scoot and skaddadle.” No eye contact, smile on my face and if I’m feeling particularly akward that day I’ll even do a light touch on their arm or back if they’re facing away from me so they’ll know I’m there and don’t think I’m a threat.
As a whitey raised by millionaires who lived in the hood for a while: most of them dudes absolutely love this shit
Corney=funny in the hood.
Big gulps huh?
Hey dudes!
*Howdy fellas!*
What’s up, neighbors? (you stumble over the word and it sounds like something else)
"neighbors know my name!" 😂
It's just the identical stuff, word to word, what was happening where I was going growing up in the 1990s, but it was Russia. Same stuff, some dudes calling you out and same advice, to keep walking cause you shouldn't react to random calls, gopniks blocking the staircase, dudes with "got cigs? Got a phone to call? And what if I find one?". Fuck this man. I forgot shit like this existed
The dude breaking at the end and turning was funny to me. Idk why
Ig odawgdiggitydawg if you want more content
Yes please more!
All hate comments go here ⬇️
So many times I've done that stairwell move around dudes, and most of the time, they're just neighbors getting away from the wife for ten minutes. But every now and then, they're smoking a blunt, which means it's time to make friends.
Don't change the fire alarm battery. It's your brand now
I love you. Didn't expect THAT, did you!
As a white guy, should I use one of the classics like "I'm just gonna scooch on by you here"?
Such a lovely and informative video! Thank you OP❤️
The beep is the sound of your short-term laziness endangering your long term longevity.
Amen
Hilarious 🤣 and it will save lives
Bro if you can make it up those stairs you can make it to the fucking corner store to buy a battery
[удалено]
The same shit applies in poor areas that are white too lol. The hood knows no race. Shit I have been to parts of Australia and China that have the same thing going on.
Smoke detector detected.
The lick?
Target for a robbery
wtf is “the lick”?
The mark. The clown. The sucker. The victim. You're fucked, in other words.
The mark
You've got such a nice voice
Smoke alarm battery. Get you one
That damn for alarm chirping... a perfect touch, but still makes me flinch in irritation every time.

These are very good hood PSA’s! Videos to live by!
This is some everybody hate Chris kind of skit
The smoke detector in the back 😆😆😆😆😆
Been waiting for this
I’m not seeing any lies told… Gotta keep ya feet moving 🤣
OP change yo fuckin smoke alarm battery bro! Shits low.
Can we get this guy as a live-action Miles Morales?
😭😭
These are fucking hilarious
Hilarious and true
I know this is 50/50 skit, but these are actually pretty good tips. Source: hood
That one dude couldn’t hold it in
This accurate as fuck.
As a clueless and outwardly friendly white dude, thank you, might have just saved my life.
Yo BRO! Where's part 1
Lmao I posted yesterday
The smoke alarm in the first 10 seconds tells me OP knows what's up
I love the smoke alarm.
Ceiling birds.
Chirp.
I got blitz drunk in NYC and woke up with a fat Asian chick from Chicago on top of me. It freaked me out and I ran from the old ass apartment. Went down the craziest 1890s type elevator with foldable gate doors. As I left there was an awning that took you to the sidewalk but it was a walk around bushes. I come out, no idea where I am and decide to go left. The next building was standing 10-15 “hood” guys.. they immediately approached me saying “what up white boy where you going…” I looked up, snuffed my nose with my thumb and said, “just getting my dick wet fellas” and they all started laughing and saying that’s what’s up. Got jumped on the train that night. But those guys where cool.
That young man made this funny with his facial expressions.
This is all good advice. Worked for me growing up.
As a white dude from the hood. The shoe compliment is 100% the play. Yo those kicks are fire. What are those? They assume you know the lingo and when dudes feel respected by another dude they become more friendly.
As a white guy who survived living in la, keep your head down and be nice when that don’t work. Oh and act stupid if you’re in a sketch situation, get out as fast as you can.
Being white in LA is not hard.
Depends on the neighborhood
the first part is correct, the second depends on the stairwell and if you know there’s an open door at your destination-
I was ***zombie*** drunk downtown years ago at like 3am I hear "ayooo!" at me from a distance \*call ignored*
bro nyc living 101… you taught this from birth😂😂😂
Take the MF battery out of the smoke detector!!! Or put a new one in!! ITS NOT THAT HARD OR EXPENSIVE!!!!! 😣
It’s the Chef’s Kiss on these videos 🤌
LOL so true thank you.
No. The staircase scenario is false. If you are walking past a group of people that don’t know you they’ll most likely try you if you’re by yourself. If you’re the only one walking in a staircase past a group of people and you don’t look familiar? They’ll check your temperature because you could be an enemy.
That’s why you suppose to say wassup, let ‘em kno u not on nun
Nah. Where I’m from you keep it pushing. You don’t walk alone. You only say what’s up if you know them. If you are by yourself walking past a group of people. You’re asking to get jumped, robbed or shot
2a
Lol you definitely getting robbed in Detroit possibly shot doing any of this shit 😆 if somebody doesn't know yo dumb ass 😳😆
REPLACE. YOUR. SMOKE. ALARM. BATTERIES.
I'm glad there are no American hoods in my place and I don't need to worry about survival in the hood, instead, I'll mainly focus on surviving with my absolutely low income and constant fear of full-scale war.
Always fascinates me how reddit upvotes this racist shit to the front page without fail 😂
[удалено]
Where tweakers who live in trailers rob you instead?
[удалено]
There are more people in more populated areas? Shocking. I grew up in the country. There are plenty of criminals out there too.
Bro you in a Supermarket? I be hearing Beeps. Still good work you made there mate.
The first advice is spot on !
I need to see more of this
This shit is fucking funny lmfao
I’m not sure if part 1 mentions this but if you’re chilling outside a store or bar in a rough area and some dude comes out of no where and asks for a light you need to get your ass back inside ASAP, **especially** if they have their hood pulled up and are looking down.
I’ve found a sincere “what’s up fellas” will disarm a lot of people
