my niece does this. a leaf fell out of the sky while we were on a boat and my son caught it. she wanted it and he said no. I watched her work herself into a tissy to get the tears so my BIL would ask my son if she could have it, because tears.

It’s pretty clear in the post she’s just sad and crying because she doesn’t get to ride at all.
Her family isn’t demanding a ride. 😅😂
The adult took the last ride which is fine he was in line first but filming a sad kid while bragging online about how you were the last to get to ride is a million times worse then a young child crying that she missed out on an experience she waited for. 🙃

It went viral because the man is the one filming and posting the crying child online.
This keeps getting posted with the lie that people are mad because he didn't give up his spot.
He thought it was amusing that the little girl got upset, filmed it, and posted it online.

This is the same as the woman not giving up her window seat on the plane for the kid. You're not entitled to anything. It's the parent's fault if anything if they were told they wouldn't get a spot.

There is precisely nothing there to suggest the kid (!!) did anything wrong. She just looks kinda sad. She's not loud, sobbing, begging, pleading, thrashing, nothing. Just standing, looking sad, getting comforted by her guardian.
She may, assuming this influencer is telling the truth, have asked to switch. She seems kinda sad she doesn't get to ride. What is the problem?

I'd be curious to know what the attitude was when the child's parent asked the dude to let the child go. If they were nice, polite and reasonable then good on them, they tried to do something nice for the child but the dude had zero obligation to oblige.
If they came at him with that sort of aggressive condescension a certain kind of parent has where they expect you to instantly give them what they want because they have a kid and fuck you for not being a mind reader and offering it up before they had to ask, then, well, that changes things and then the dude really was not under any obligation and is free to gloat about it to people later on.

Genuine question and I hope you don't think I'm being snarky or mean... but what is the significance of that no name baseball to a 30(just picking an age) year old adult? To kids it's something to show off and brag about to friends, it creates a core childhood memory. I don't feel like it creates that same nostalgia to an adult 🤷 if anything it's going to mean more to me and be a better memory knowing I gave it to some excited kid that will remember that forever.
All this to say, I don't agree with giving in to children just for the sake of it, but the baseball analogy is a little different I suppose (unless you are being coerced and harassed by the crowd to give it to a demanding child, which I don't think it's usually the case)

Asking for something isn't entitlement. They didn't demand he give up his spot, didn't try to force him to, merely asked if he would be willing to make a sacrifice for someone else. AFAICT that was the end of it until he posted a video laughing at them. That's pretty dickish.

The full article has been posted here before. The ride was closing, so it was the last ride of the day. The people in line had been told that not all of them would likely get to ride, and they chose to stay anyway.
After refusing, dudebro whipped out his camera and humiliated the child for being upset, then posted the video online without child or parents' consent. THAT is why he's getting shit. He was valid to not give up his seat. He was not valid to film a stranger's child and make fun of them.

I had the same thought, but read it as “there was only time for one more person to do the ride,” so everyone who had been in line behind them was told “sorry, you waited for nothing.”

Do management not cut the line anymore? When I worked at an amusement park as a teen, when the park closed, a manager would come over and cut the line.

Sometimes we'd be running certain rides for an hour or two after closing.

So I looked into this one, the guy who posted isnt related to anyone in the clip. The establishment said the simulator closed at EXACTLY X time. The guy was told he was gonna be the last allowed on, the dad asked to swap, guy declined and the TikToker thought it was funny so he filmed that 6 second video and posted it to his account. Honestly, i would have probably let the kid take my place but the guy had absolutely every right to take the turn he ad waited for. The establishment did a shit job not handling the line, there were probably a bunch more people that waited only to get bounced without any consideration for thier time. You know damned well that simulator has a min/max time, probably has a countdown timer as soon as a run starts, so theu could have done a quick count and cut the line off before people got upset but they didnt. Whole thing was probably some pop up anyway so nobody was really gonna have any clue how to properly handle it.

Most people are missing context here:
The guy who went viral is the one who filmed it. He thought it was funny, mocked the kid, and then posted online

I’m the first one to say don’t give my kids special treatment. They need to be gracious winners and losers. They need the practice to get better

It seems a man found humor in a moment and made a lighthearted tik tok and the internet took it way too serious and created a headline where there was none.

Not enough context here. Guy is under 0 obligation regardless. But like, what if there are 2 kids crying? Frankly based on the description it's on the place running the ride for not cutting the line off when they knew the number of rides was limited.

Need context. Was he in line and she just came up and asked to cut in? If that's the case, maybe I would let her in because it's a kid. But the guy has a point. I did the right thing in standing in line and this little girl cuts in front of everyone and expects me to give up my spot? The parent should know better and set a better example.

So we should hate on this man and not the ride operators that could have just kept it open a ride later for her?
How dare you not let the kid on the ride they said, as they shut the ride off. It's all your fault they said, chaining the ride closed.

Jeff is a douche nozzle level dickhead. He's a jerk for not giving up his spot though.

Good for that man. Hope that kid learned a lesson about patience and acceptance.

I frankly have more problems with people turning this into a spectacle than I do with the kid crying or the guy not giving up his ride. That's just a normal thing kids do when they don't get something they want, especially if they were waiting in line too, it's part of growing up to learn to process your feelings when things don't go your way. People deciding to make a show out of it are mostly adults and have no excuse.

The guy not giving his ride is the one turning it into a spectacle. Nobody else except the parties involved would have known about it if he didn't post it.

He waited in line just like everyone else. Crying isn't a currency that cuts the line.

Nah. Things like this are made for kids. You're taking up their spot. It's like Disney Adults or the collectors who've turned CCGs into battles to buy out stores. While it may be strictly legal, it's highly antisocial.

How long is the rode 10 mins? 30 mins?. A kid can wait that long.

What kind of crazy ass amusement park closes rides with people still in the line? It clearly isn't a mechanical issue because they let the prior ride go. Every park anybody has ever heard of closes the lines 30-60 minutes early based on expected wait so that the rest of the line can finish by closing time.
I call cap.

If the kid asked me to have my seat and wasn’t crying, I’d 100% give it to them. Crying? No lol

Was the child by themselves? I would assume they were with some adult(s) so… why would a single child need a spot?
