Don’t mess with him.
A father is going viral for stepping in to reprimand a stranger who yelled at teen girls traveling for the first time — and people online are praising him for it.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @Suzierizzo1, a crowd of people appears to be standing at an airport terminal waiting to board their plane.
Two of those flyers were teen girls, apparently traveling alone for the first time, full of excitement and nerves. Although it wasn’t shown in the video, the duo’s travel experience was quickly ruined by a stranger who yelled at them for supposedly talking too loudly.
The video shows the aftermath of that encounter when a man steps in to reprimand the grouch for telling the girls to “shut up.”
“Talk to me the way you talked to them. See what happens,” the bystander yells in the other’s face. “I’m a man, talk to me the way you would talk to these little girls.”
He didn’t stop there.
“I don’t care if you’re tired — you’re a grown man, deal with it… They’re teenagers, let them be. It’s their first time traveling, you’re giving them a hard time…” the fired-up flyer continued, to which the accused silently stands there, taking the verbal beating before the 29-second clip ends.
The video has over 40,000 views and counting, with many rushing to the man’s defense who spoke up for the girls.
“But the a–hole wasn’t too tired to yell, right? He got what he gave, plus some schooling. Good!” one wrote.
“…men never stand up to real men. They always try to intimidate women and children,” another chimed in.
“We need more MEN like this guy! Love it!” read a comment.
“Well said Sir,” someone else wrote.
This isn’t the first time the internet stood up for a stranger trying to do the right thing.
Earlier this month, when a father had the cops called on him for innocently bringing his young daughters into a rest stop women’s restroom, moms praised him for doing the right thing.
“There is a man with his two little girls using the bathroom,” a man who appears in the background of a now-viral TikTok video, standing near the bathroom’s entrance, is heard saying to cops on the phone. “He is washing his hands with his daughters right now.”
“It’s alright, baby,” the father tells his little one, who starts crying.
“As a girl mom, you did absolutely nothing wrong and even more kudos to you for keeping your cool, especially in front of your daughters,” one commenter wrote. “Such a GOOD dad. Love to see it.”
“Your ability to remain calm for your girls is phenomenal,” another replied.
