Just to clear a couple things up, I do somewhat agree with the comments saying that "oh you started it" etc. I probably shouldn't have "laughed" but I was kind of distracted with my friends, I had the train that we went there to see on my mind as well as i was quite excited. In my opinion, me and the "grumpy" man were both in the wrong, I shouldn't have laughed, he shouldn't have come over and had a go at us.
@@iangascoigne8231 people don’t always act rationally when angry. As the OP says, he may have already been having a bad day so poking the wasp nest isn’t such a great idea.
@@redmozzy It’s funny in a previous reply you criticised the kid despite apologising as still trying to justify his actions, he wasn’t by the way, yet you don’t see the irony in you doing the same for the bloke.
@@iangascoigne8231 I’m not apologising for anyone, just observations… look, you can all act how you want, just remember there are consequences to actions (again, rightly or wrongly but why put yourself in that situation to begin with if you clearly cannot handle any potential consequences?).
@@redmozzy I never said you’re apologising for him. You need to read the comment before replying. I said in another comment you posted to me you’re trying to justify the blokes actions. Do you think that bloke would have been so confrontational if those kids had been 6 foot tall strapping teenagers? He’s a bully pure and simple.
He didn’t apologise, accept responsibility, tell us he learnt ‘the life lesson’ and said he wont do it again. None of that. Wanna know what the pinned comment was? Excuses excuses excuses. And even more excuses. He literally just doubled down on playing the victim and started telling everyone about it (because of course all he cares about is getting attention, and not the fact that he just potentially spoiled the mans day and risked his own life).
@@TheTransitDiariesI don't believe in this bullshit known as "respect" it isn't a real thing. And no, I don't "must need" to do anything. If it isn't a Government rule, I' not doing it.
Although rude, I think the man is justified, not only was he laughed at but it was also on camera, I think he suspected it would end up on RU-vid and wasn't very pleased about that. I think not blurring his face is a bit disrespectful. I'd heed his advice, a train station isn't just for trainspotters, its full of people commuting or working there. I'd probably blur his face because of the rule: If you put something on the internet about somebody, they will most likely see it. I wouldn't ever think to laugh, in fact, I'd probablty feel bad, I've seen it happen a few times and it's always unfortunate. My best advice would be to take the video down or blur his face because all this is doing is attracting negative attention to your channel and nobody wants that.
When people miss their trains or even flights, it's their own faults. Check the schedule of the trains or buses and plan accordingly. Leave your house early and if you live in a city where there is always lots of traffic, leave extra early. It's always better to arrive where you need to be too early and be late. Throughout my life of travelling, I rarely missed trains or flights, I almost never missed appointments, interviews, meetings or anything important. The rare time that I've been late was because of something unexpected such as a strike/protects, traffic accidents or train technical malfunctions but it rarely happens so most of the time, when I see people running like mad to catch their trains, buses or flights, wether they make it on or not, it's safe to assume it's their fault.
Yes it’s his fault for missing it. Just because you missed something by about a minute doesn’t justify having stupid kids shout and laugh in your face, laugh at you and then post it to RU-vid without your permission, very well showing your face for thousands of views. No. Grow tf up because one day you might end up in a hospital bed with bruises, or potentially won’t even wake up. If you meet the wrong people and/or act like this when your older: you won’t have Dad to protect you. Youll be on the tracks in seconds or if you’re lucky leave with a couple punches. You don’t know how sober or sympathetic the man is. And even if he couldn’t hurt you it’s still wrong to humiliate someone like that, FROM EXPERIENCE.
@@deadaccount2048 nah that manchild needs to grow up and learn not to get triggered by a silly kid laughing and having nothing else to do. He is just a softy. If it was me I would not even take the kid seriously. I would've just thought to myself "ugh, a silly kid who has nothing else to do " and I would've moved on.
@@vintagetriplex3728 Yeah if it was just him, but 1. -it’s definitely not like hes being harassed behind a camera setup thats most likely for social media- 2. Does it matter how old he is? If he were w few years older that’s a *guaranteed punch in the face (at best)* if he acted like that 3. The kid doesn’t own the train station or even pay for a ticket. Hes just harassing people and doesn’t even contribute to providing better service for people that are actually gonna use the line 4. He doesn’t even try to say sorry or anything, but rather plays the victim for more attention. He’s also giving all of us enthusiasts a bad rep, which is -definitely helping his cause-
@@vintagetriplex3728 If it was an adult harassing him would it be right to react? If it was a 15/16 year old would it be? No. So what makes him any special?
@@darrylrichardson7940 of someone is going to post trainspotting videos to RU-vid, they should be professional with it and not laugh at people who miss their trains. Life happens, grow up and respect others and the hobby.
He overreacted and was definitely being a dick to you guys, but that comment was completely out of order. You have to be careful with other people, and this random man's reaction proved it.
@@AirTaxiA370 Yeah, just wanted to tell you to be safe, be cautious with strangers, especially when you're quite young, and continue your passion for trainspotting :)
“HAHAH U MISSED IT” may seem harmless, until youve just missed a job interview, your train home or a meeting. Maybe an appointment or a gathering with friends or family. Who knows! He damn well could’ve has a shit day already, and may be dealing with personal issues (maybe his dog died or he just lost his job). And you don’t know what condition he is in. Is he sober? Did he just come from the pub half drunk? Did he just smoke crack in an alley? Is he psychotic? God knows. And he is being put in an extremely vulnerable position: He is being recorded on cameras by some dumb, spoiled kids bullying him. If he doesn’t do anything he may feel it looks like hes scared to come up to ya or didn’t teach you an important lesson (that could save your life). He may be worrying about the consequences hes gonna have to face now fir being late, or having is face plastered across social media. So, with all of that in mind, how harmless was “HAHAH U MISSED IT!!”? Was it a good idea, a smart idea, a safe idea? Was it mature, or necessary?
@@iliketrains532 Well there may not be a rule that you can't laugh at someone for missing there train but you should be mature enough to keep it inside and not do it out loud as It is extremely disrespectful. A less this kid has ADHD then he does it out loud.
@@NotDavidTrains It doesn't matter if it's "extremely disrespectful" it isn't a crime to be disrespectful, which means it's okay and acceptable to do it. No one has to be "mature".
You can get away with this as a kid for the most part. There comes a time when this is completely unnacceptable behaviour with greater consequences. You're probably a decent kid for the most part and your adult self will probably look back on this with disdain.
that guy just so happens to have privacy rights. He got recorded explicitly which is not that much of a good idea. This video has actually been produced illegally since he didn‘t consent to being recorded let alone the video being published on RU-vid.
@@iangascoigne8231 a platform is not a public place and CCTV footage is usually not being published if no incident occurs He instead showed his face and published the video on RU-vid. Not such a good idea.
@@AviatorJC I have have checked and indeed you are right it’s private property, and filming is at the discretion of the owners. If he wasn’t allowed to film he would have been told to stop. I would imagine since he chose to confront the person he waived any rights to privacy he may have had. He could always choose to sue, then again that would expose him to ridicule and possible charges.
Hes prob just embarrassed tho 😂 The fact u shouted “HAHAH U MISSED IT!!!” so loudly, (its tempting lol) BEHIND A CAMERA would wind anyone up so I mean your both in the wrong here I also want to add that it was CLEARLY an unsafe (and immature) idea to laugh out loud, practically in his face. Imo you deserved it, even tho he did overreact quite a bit and he needs to learn to get a grip!
i dont like how close he got but i cant really blame him for getting mad after being loudly laughed at for missing the train which he may have been relying on bc he could have been running late to something important
Although it wasnt loud on purpose, the driver could probably hear “hAhAh U mIsSeD iT!i!i!”, and it almost sounded like u we’re directly shouting at the man As tempting as it was to shout, you must know that yelling and cackling almost right in a mans face WHILST NEXT TO A LIVE TRACK WITH HIGH SPEED TRAINS is a great idea! It really shows your level of maturity and situational awareness. But even then I do still agree that the man clearly overreacted. He shouldn’t have approached you so aggressively and been so wound up by it. At least your dad knows about it and hopefully gave you a good talk/punishment for your negligence.
And I’ll admit I probably would’ve laughed too, and I found his pissed off reaction hilarious. But would I have shouted HAHAH U MISSED IT in his face? Behind a camera setup? No. Ive had similar happen to me and it was fucking embarrassing and annoying, especially since I was the only child there. This is a grown ass adult that might have missed something important or had a terrible day already, and you don’t know if he just came from the pub half drunk. Not a good idea! You could’ve at least put the camera down and moved in away from the track (or went to your dad) instead of just standing there winding him up further. One push is all it would take and you wouldn’t be here to make this video (hospital if your lucky)
Both in the wrong here tbh. You really should just mind your own business and not laugh at other people for two reasons. 1. Its rude and shows you don't have manners. 2. Nowadays you get on the bad side of some people and it could end with you in hospital. Although two wrongs dont make a right he shouldn't have come up to you and confornted you. If i was him i would depending on if my day was good or bad i would A. Just let it go if im having a good day B. Tell your dad that you need some better manners if im having a bad day. All in all just don't be like this and none of this will happen again.
@@AirTaxiA370 Oh I didn’t know, that’s my bad (sorry because I kept mentioning that a lot!) But then again, 40mph is enough to kill or seriously injure you. If the 400V tracks aren’t enough
If i can be completely honest you shouldnt of laughed at him in the first place, if i was him i would feel humiliated and quite pissed off. He wasnt a 'grumpy man' neither was he 'yelling' he was just pissed off with what you said. Its as if you were rubbing it in his face in a way. Its always best as a trainspotter to not engage with commuters as they can be stressed and irritable when they are trying to catch a train as time is money and he could have been very late because of this and you have no idea what was going through his head or what consequences he may have faced so to be fair he was well within his rights to have a go about it.
Even if you didn't mean to laugh, it was pretty disrespectful. There are plenty of people out there with far worse reactions, so maybe don't do that next time.
This is the kind think that will lead too rail companys siding with the fair paying passanger ! and the banning of spotters or companys will instruct BT police to move train spotters off the stations this has happened in the past and some managers see spotters as a safty risk or a negaive image of the railway ! Your a guest on their staion and you must refram from being disrespectfull or a rude nussence or a safty risk in the eyes of those that own and controll the stations or we start seeing singes go up No spotting £ 1,000 fine .
Damn, hope you were okay! This is what I was saying about him getting the lucky outcome. But whats worse is a couple feet away from this kid is A LIVE RAIL ⚡️ WITH HIGH SPEED TRAINS 💥 A punch wouldve been *Lucky* here. Seriously I hope you were okay though, and im glad it didn’t end worse than it did!
@@deadaccount2048 I was okay. Just a sore mouth and thinking to myself “yeah, I shouldn’t have said that really” but I agree that an active railway station is not really the safest environment on earth
@@christopherrollason1369 Good. A punch is really harsh and unreasonable but at least you learned a lesson. You walked away as a more mature and seasoned person (with a sore mouth lol) At least you walked away and your here to tell the tale! And your probably (if not definitely) gonna ever do whatever you did again 👍
Once a woman shouted at me for standing around on a platform waiting for a special. Told security and she was taken off the platform and missed her train 😅
People wait for trains, Trains don't wait for people. If you missed the train then that's your fault for not being early. But good news for you because now your early for the next train.
From what I can see, there was absolutely no reason for you to laugh at a passerby missing their train. You can never know how important a simple thing like catching a train might be to someone. I can guarantee that when you're a bit older you'll realise you were wrong to do this. You apologised, but only because he came over to confront you, and you don't seem very sorry in your pinned comment. I understand it might seem like an overreaction by your man, but that doesn't justify being obnoxious to people. Now, that being said, he absolutely should not have acted the way he did. A simple ticking off explaining that you shouldn't be rude to other people would have been the most appropriate response, not what he did. Both of you are in the wrong here and hopefully you'll both learn from it.
When people miss their trains or even flights, it's their own faults. Check the schedule of the trains or buses and plan accordingly. Leave your house early and if you live in a city where there is always lots of traffic, leave extra early. It's always better to arrive where you need to be too early and be late.

@@vintagetriplex3728 Any number of things can occur that might cause someone to be late. But this is beside the point, anyway, because someone making a mistake or being disorganised doesn't mean you can act in an obnoxious way towards someone in public. Hopefully the young lad in this video will learn a lesson from this encounter.
@@seanolaocha940Agreed! And I noticed how you said that the kid apologised. When did he? All he said was Excuses, Excuses Excuses. Oh yeah, and more excuses for good measure. Not a single ‘sorry’ or ‘wont do it again’. He was cocky enough to shout and laugh in the mans face when he was in a vulnerable position, but the moment he was confronted not a peep. Pin drop silence. And he still hasn’t even accepted it in the ✨*Pinned comment* he keeps telling us to look at. Just more, you guessed it, excuses.
Whether he was having a bad day or not, that response ain't on. If I'm having a bad day, does that give me licence to lash out at a sparky comment or someone sniggering. The guy would have been decked in my town for going up to a kid like that. Simples
The fact you haven’t attempted to take any responsibility or become more mature (or even aware of the dangers you put yourself in) proves that you definitely DID have it coming, and deserve every bit and more. But yeah it was an overreaction from the man (and it was funny seeing how wound up he got from a dumb kid), and he couldve been a bit less confrontational. But as h the man said, “This is a life lesson!” As long as you accept your mistake its over
@@AirTaxiA370yeh, could have just finished work and been told something serious could have happened like his child or a family member had a sudden emergency.
Should've waited for him to be a little further away & maybe not in his direction, but yeah he was a little over the top probably because he was in the moment.
Agreed. Was a little aggressive tho but if he didn’t do it, in the future the kid could be beaten up or *pushed onto the track* ⚡️ Don’t think hes gonna act like that again (he doesn’t even deserve to go trainspotting again IMO)
no, he isnt, he is neither in the right or in the wrong, it was understandable that he got annoyed but he really overreacted to be honest, I probably shouldnt have said anything but it slipped out [read pinned]
I don’t think he should’ve been so snappy at you but then again, its the beat outcome you could’ve got. Another comment said they got punched in the face for doin something similar to this, be careful!
@@AirTaxiA370 I’m an adult actually. I would be very pissed if some random kids poked fun at me missing my train. I have respect for that guy that told you off. You guys totally deserved it, and hopefully that will keep you from being like that to strangers in the future.
Not very clever being gobby like that to be fair, if you had done that the wrong person, you could have been dealing with a far worse situation... Also, he had complained to the staff what you had done, you may have been ejected from the station. Engage brain before mouth ;)
I was on a train from Brighton which was overcrowded at Gatwick airport and a man couldn't get on and angrily stared at us it was hard to know what to do apart from and empathetic pensive look as we moved away
When or where did he apologise? Go on, lets see. He didn’t. Simple. Pin drop silence when the man spoke to him, nothing but excuses and playing the victim in the comments. He hasn’t learned a thing.
And yes, he did have something to prove. He proven that if he wasn’t so lucky, he could end up with bruises, chipped teeth, blood. He could wake up in the hospital (or now wake up), considering hes right next to a live track with trains. That’s the “Life lesson” as the man said. It was only kindness from the man to actually come up to him, as he might’ve saved him from violence. Although ill admit he was a bit aggressive
@@lbaldylocks6681 That ain’t a apology or even a real sorry lol, that’s a “sorry sorry please dont hurt me” sorry, and he didn’t even apologise after in the video or to the man.
@@darrylrichardson7940 thats not harassment, if you intimidate someone or wind someone up first your asking to just be frowned upon, im a youngster myself, if i was in the situation of the bloke who missed his train and these kids made fun of that, I'd ask why did you laugh, before saying its "harassment" think about both sides of the story if the kid didnt shout anything nothing would have happened, the bloke approached the kid as he was asking what they said while telling them not to do it again, nothing physical was going on, i think you need to look at the law aswell mate before making observations
Not overly familiar with the layout of enterances and exits to/from the station at Fratton, but he was nowhere near where the train was stopped, so whilst yes you shouldn't have laughed he's also a bit of an idiot for being nowhere near where the train he was going to be on was stopping, not to mention I assume he knew what time his train was, so there was no need for him to be in such a rush if he knew his timings. Overall, both you and him are in the wrong, but he's also a bit of a numpty as he obviously wasn't paying enough attention to his timing.
How rude just ignore him I get that a lot but I don’t take any notice of it I say sticks and stones my break my bones but words never hurt me but at least you saw it❤❤❤
You Laughed ans then instantly Apologised once ye started walking towards you, so that instantly shows you where in the wrong ??, hes already having a bad day as hes missed his train, no need to laugh just let people get on with there own lifes he didnt affect you till you Laughed at him
Ain't your fault he didn't bother turning up on time and missed his train....so what you laughed at him?...that doesn't give him the right to swear at you like that....guy needs to take a chill pill and learn to tell the time!.😂😂....
Kinda hope he got grounded or lost trainspotting privileges tbf since he thought winding up and humiliating someone next to a live rail is a good idea. Not even trying to hate bc the mans reaction is fucking hillarious but this couldve been lethal is he wasnt careful!
Look, I mean, I know how’d you’d feel because you thought people were going to jump on your side, yeah, I mean, he definitely overreacted coming from someone who does trainspotting too. Instead, he could have just kindly said not to laugh at anyone else who missed their train.
Don`t know where this was filmed . Judging by the accents and rolling stock I`d guess somewhere int Southeast , It`s not as if he`ll have to wait long for another , try being up North next train could be a couple of days if it can bother it`s arse showing up . Deserves to miss it by wearing headphones like that anyway
i would start an argument up on that guy for being a prick tbh, it was just a "he missed it" like bro didn't need to just waste your time like im sorry was it your fault or the guy's fault so your in the right and he was in the wrong like what's he going to do, go to his mum like "help me mummy, this little boy bullied me for missing my train" like dude just take it on the bloody chin mate
That’s one of the risk with spotting everything from a public space. Some people don’t like that and they become very aggressive. My advice : stay away from the public, don’t hide yourself and be respectful. If somebody is not happy with you filming, stay calm and change your spotting place.
It wasn’t about him filming, but because of the comment. He was angry about the camera because they just taunted him about missing the train behind it. Thats what pissed him off. But after overreacting that way I’m sure the camera alone would anger him.
And no, don’t stop your trainspotting dream because of an idiot. If anything the only reason to stop would be proving ya aren’t aware enough (like in this clip) but even then you can carry on!
@deadaccount2048 I'm agree but, I gave you this advice based on my experience. Once I was filming a huge construction site from the train windows, One man, near the window, believed I was filming him. He was very upset and very aggressive. He did'nt give me time to explain and I avoided aggression with a very thin margin. I learn to be very careful with I film in the public and no I didn't to give up on dream
@@jbgaudOh damn, fair enough. Sorry you had to deal with that! Im not trying to be rude but thats not w what happened in the video. He was only mad because he taunted the man, the cameras was just a cheery on too of the cake. And I know how he feels. I was filming the last ever Class 315 (retirement service) and I was trying to go fast up the platform without running and slipping. A group of older teens yells RUN FOREST RUN!!! Out a door and a whole bunch of people start laughing. And there was about a good 30 cameras recording in different directions (half towards me). That really pissed me off that evening and I understand his frustration. I also understand that filming in general creates a high risk for aggression. But being aggressive over someone filming IN PUBLIC is irrational and illegal. But being aggressive in response to BULLYING isnt, and although most people wont mind a trainspotter, no one appreciates a group of bullies with cameras mocking you when your having a shit day.
