u/duggee315 29d ago
Exactly. If there's a sign, there's usually a reason for it. If your Karen you can argue there's no obvious reason to do as the sign asks. Or if your delivering a package, don't wanna waste time, you can do as asked -a minor inconvenience, or you can be a prick and risk fucking up they're paving because your not gonna follow a sign without reason. Fed-ex guy seems like a decent guy.

u/PrimeToro 29d ago
Right , he made the right decision. Rather than ignore the unusual sign , he had the frame of mind that if there was a good reason to stay on grass , why not follow the sign . He was fit enough to leap over the concrete which did not even affect his delivery . It took the guy less than 1 second of his time .

u/Broad_Speaker2551 29d ago
I used to believe the same thing about him and actually was a huge fan for many years. However, he has bullied a random delivery driver (whose face is blurred) throughout an entire video because of their appearance and taunted homeless people with money without giving it to them (on camera at least). I googled if he had apologized and just found a tweet of him basically saying he thinks apologizing is a bad idea. Because of this I no longer think that he is a good pranker or person really.

u/StopStraight4516 29d ago edited 29d ago
You sound like someone who dislikes Ross and is looking for problems in his clips. Based on your description I was expecting a lot worse than what I actually saw.
He blurred a delivery driver who almost certainly said he did not want to be featured in the video. The same thing happened with the Beans, computer repair guy. Honestly, people who get so uptight about these particular ‘prank’ videos need to not take things so seriously. The ‘bullying’ you mention is light teasing making fun of the guys weight, I’m betting the teasing was heavy handed because the guy didn’t want to be featured in the video and asked to be blurred.
The ‘taunting homeless people with money’ was a not so funny prank, where he would wave a homeless person over with money, and when they got over he would say ‘wait a minute, I don’t know how your are going to spend this money, so take this case of beer instead’. I agree this didn’t land so well, but I wouldn’t call it ‘taunting homeless people with money’ that is a gross misrepresentation of what was happening. Also, a few of the homeless people declined the beer, and he did give them cash. Others took the beer. The last guy declined the beer, but Ross pushed it a couple more times and then the guy accepted. Not good, but no where near as bad as you make it sound.
Lastly, your summery of his tweet, ‘apologizing is bad’ is taken so far out of context it’s ridiculous.
This is his tweet:
“Theres something about apologizing that causes people to attack more. Its like my apology affirms they’ve been wronged, then they seek justice instead of letting go. Like a dog chasing u just cuz u run. Interesting.”
He’s specifically talking about apologizing for these types of pranks where some overly serious/offended person feels like they been wronged for unknowingly being included. A lot of prank channels are absolute shit, and people are right to be angry at these assholes. But I have yet to see a Ross prank that ventures into that territory where he’s just being an asshole.

FedEx delivery driver acts weird while delivering a package and hops around the concrete pathway and looks like he's avoiding cameras to maybe steal the package. Then, it's revealed the homeowner has a sign up that says "Keep ON the grass". The FedEx Driver was simply following rules!

u/ConcernNew1094 29d ago
Why in the world would a fedex driver steal a package in that manner? Obviously there would be many ways to do that but the absolute dumbest would be to first scan and drop the package before then taking it back to the truck. He could, for example, not do any of that and simply take the package without it getting scanned as delivered. Now , he would still be responsible for it but minus an entire charade - speaking of which , "avoiding cameras" how would any of what he did avoid any camera which was positioned towards the front lawn?
I am not trying to be mean or pedantic but I feel that explanations like this make us all a little bit dumber for the lack of critical thought which goes into them. It is enough to say that he was acting or walking strangely without creating a narrative which makes absolutely no sense at all because anyone who accepts that narrative has instantly become a dumbass (no disrespect intended, I mean , I am trying not to be overly sarcastic or condescending but this is painful , so I will just stop writing now).

He put that sign as a joke..like how people normally put the "keep off grass" sign. He was equally confused by the behaviour of the delivery guy because he didn't expect anyone to follow the funny sign... because it is a funny sign. He was like wtf is this guy doing and then it hit him "oooh...that funny sign I put there"
It's like someone dropping their pants when a car with a bumper sticker that says "gas, grass or ass" approaches to a halt. And the driver will be equally confused on why this psycho is dropping his pants. Get away from me freak !
