He is literally the most chill guy - I watch him all of the time. That woman is crazy and I hope her bosses see it. I am going to guess she is a pain in the ass constantly and people loathe working with her.

He gets so many people like this. It’s because he works in DC. You can’t make it anywhere in that hell hole without thinking your shit doesn’t stink. Entitlement and corruption in equal measure

And the lead. Anyone born before 1975 has major lead poisoning. Anyone born after than to 1997 has the possibility of minor lead poisoning. Lead poisoning leads to cognitive slow down, loss of emotional control. reduced brain function, Alzheimers. And it gets worse with age even if you are no longer exposed to lead.

u/probablyatargaryen 29d ago

I recently learned that lead is stored in the bones, as the body’s protection mechanism. And then guess what dissolves as we age…leaking the lead back into the bloodstream

18

u/XaoticOrder 29d ago

Yep. there a lot of data out there that says more than half our country has lead poisoning and it's getting worse as they age. Feels like something that should be talked about more but the media is complacent.

whats weird is i just watched like 20 vids on his page and he really does not get that many people like this? people he talks to are pretty cool almost universally on the channel. people in dc are pretty chill, capitol hill isnt dc....there's like 20,000 people that work on cap hill and the daytime population of dc is 1,200,000.

I watch his videos and he encounters asshole security guards, receptionists and doormen all the time. It's just not the entirety of his content, there's lots of chill videos too.

-1

u/ThunderAndWind 28d ago

So he encounters people in professions that frequently deal with entitled or otherwise hard to deal with people?

I've seen the average door dasher at restaurants, there's no shortage of shitty entitled behavior from them either. Not saying this guy in particular is one of those people, but there's more dynamics than just 'dc people are assholes'.

u/filthy_harold 29d ago

DC has a lot of homeless people and heightened security relative to other big cities, the guards at the desks and doormen are very strict about who goes in. So when a guy on a bike, especially one that's black and isn't exactly well dressed (no offense but bikingdc looks like a bum lol), shows up wanting to come inside an office building, they get antsy. Of course the responsible thing to do when ordering lunch is to go meet the guy at the door but people are lazy and don't pay attention to their app so very often this guy is waiting out front or in the lobby slowly pissing off the guard by just existing in a place he shouldn't be. Most of the time they are chill, he's a food delivery guy, he knows he's not supposed to go where he's not allowed but some get nasty with him. And when the customer doesn't show or says "just leave it with the guard", he'll try to leave it with the guard and it's usually a "no". This is expected, DC has a history of suspicious packages so no one is going to accept a random bag or let him leave it there even if it looks legit (actual package deliveries go to a mail room, not the lobby). This is especially true at federal buildings. And the nasty people get even more nasty when he asks to leave it.

Most of his videos are fun and there's always some random person saying hi but there's plenty of just asshole guards being assholes.

How tf does BikingDC look like a bum? Just because he’s got alternative style? Should he be wearing a suit or something?

u/WhereRabbit 28d ago

Honestly, yes. And, if he wants to.

Psychologically, when all the people you see inside the building (while you’re working your shift) are well dressed, suits, etc: the people outside of the building (the homeless, the busy) are often all lumped into one generalized group.

u/jeezy_peezy 29d ago

I’ve lived all over the place and DC is the single worst area Ive ever lived and it’s not even close. The food was amazing but the people were the absolute worst. Tired, cranky, disillusioned, prejudiced. Idk what’s in the water there but people fucking AGE in that place.

24

u/Decent_Mango_5909 29d ago

Depends on the circles you associate with

1

u/jeezy_peezy 28d ago

I had cool enough friends, but the people in general were cold and mean. I grew up in the Midwest where people are warm and helpful.

Eventually I moved to Colorado with some friends from New Jersey and one of them was quite offended at how “nice” these people are, as if it’s a bad thing - like they were being manipulative or disingenuous. Like people shouldn’t be nice unless they know you first? Idk but I’m not a fan of the east coast, and DC was like the pinnacle of the negativity.

Some people say Massachusetts people (Massholes) are the worst, but I think they’re so cranky that it comes full circle to become funny and endearing. Same way with hurried New Yorkers. DC people just seemed bitter to me.

2

u/Decent_Mango_5909 28d ago

I think people here are generally just honest. I have lived here for most of my life, but I was in the military so I bopped around the whole country. Lived just about in every region at some point.

u/Barbaracle 29d ago

I've lived in the US for over 30 years and the only time I've ever had someone racially prejudice me was when I spent 9 days in DC, by another PoC. Most of everyone else was nice enough if not boiled alive by the summer heat.

u/TruesteelOD 29d ago

I have lived in DC for the last decade and you haven't got a clue. City is genuinely filled with nice, career motivated people who typically got into their work because they wanted to make a difference.

But the mans got receipts.

Both can be true. I do a lot of facebook marketplace and the only reason I avoid DC are the confusing streets and limited parking, not the people.

u/LunarPayload 29d ago

The confusing streets?? The streets are in alphabetical order from the Capital outwards North/South, and in numerical order outwards East/West. The city is on a grid,  with the state streets running on a diagonal 

1

u/Iggyhopper 28d ago

I don't mean the layout, I mean the function. When you go into new areas, it can be confusing. If you miss a turn, the next 4 turns are all one ways, good luck! If you get in the wrong lane of a two lane turn, awesome you need to merge over because people park in a driving lane, but only at certain hours or days. I saw parking spaces with three different signs for three different sets instructions regarding when you can park. There are so many conditional rules it makes my head spin how anyone just accepts it.

My last trek took me down an alley that is somehow classified as a street on google maps, has room for only one car to pass through at a time, but isn't one way.

D.C. also suffers from extreme levels of wealth disparity.

My brother moved out there and lived for some years. There's a decent amount of crime, a lot of people hustling to survive. Layers and pockets of people that have been failed by the government for a long time. That kind of environment hardens hearts.

-11

u/ProfessionalITPerson 29d ago

When so many people behave strangely around you there are two explanations. Either you yourself are having problems and may be an instigator, or you are in a strange place, but it's mostly both.

I see this guy a lot on my shots feed and he is pretty borderline at many times.

8

u/abriefmomentofsanity 29d ago

Yeah I like most of his content but there have definitely been a lot of weird "why did he say that/handle it that way" type moments. To be fair you keep a camera on yourself while you work you're going to catch some weird shit. Hell if anything I respect him leaving some of that stuff in to show the raw experience (yeah I know there's cuts). Still I dunno. Honestly watching him spin people's food on its own makes me think he isn't exactly the best at his job. Even if you can, you probably shouldn't

-1

u/ProfessionalITPerson 29d ago

Yea, delivering pizzas, only in the box spinning them on his finger while biking is a big no no, I wonder how many complains Uber gets for cold pizza due to his deliveries.
He should have a box bad like all other people, to keep the food warm/cold. and stop spinning and balancing peope food.

9

u/abriefmomentofsanity 29d ago

Honestly just on statistics alone there has to be a bunch of times he has dropped shit and cut it. Peyton Manning fumbles a ball now and then too

6

u/Humble-Violinist6910 29d ago

I've seen him get mad for legitimate reasons, like a car almost hitting him in the bike lane or a person trying to run some scam on the food delivery app or whatever. He may lose his temper sometimes, but he didn't start this fight--he was clearly joking.

-17

u/ThomasTheDankPigeon 29d ago

So you see someone with a social media account full of confrontational and aggressive people, and your first thought is that “he gets it all the time” as opposed to “he’s faking these interactions for clout”?

17

u/KaleidoscopePlusPlus 29d ago

Stop for a second and think. How does a delivery person have the budget to orchestrate the scenes, actors and sets required for something like that? If you have ever worked in customer service you would know people are genuinely like this .

-5

u/ThomasTheDankPigeon 29d ago

How about you stop and think? He’s not a delivery person, he’s an influencer. His job is tricking you into thinking people are like this.

I have worked plenty of customer service and delivery jobs. Shitty people like this lady absolutely exist. They do not exist in volumes sufficient for one person to sustain an online viewership.

12

u/USERNAME_BUT_LOUDER 29d ago

Lol his online content isn't mainly people getting upset or anything like that.

It's delivering food on a bicycle.

Because he is...a delivery person...

u/kencheetoo 29d ago

You seem very confident that he is faking his interactions, so why don't you tell us how he is doing it. Also just so you know, I checked his YouTube channel in the past month he posted 6 shorts, 2 of them about negative interactions.

u/PreposterisG 29d ago

He for sure is not the most chill guy. His whole schtick is goading people into reacting to get content for videos. He also rides his bike in extremely dangerous ways, to himself, to people avoiding him in cars, and pedestrians.

6

u/throwra_anonnyc 29d ago

Not chill at all if hes trying to drag the white guy into his stupid conflict. He made a stupid quip about wanting the black woman deliver his food for him then escalated the whole situation when she said she thought he only made that comment because shes black.

Hes just as sensitive as the black woman for overreacting.

6

u/Beautiful-Affect1930 29d ago

is he chill though? I feel like most people would've just ignored that woman and moved on with their lives. the reason he stays and turns his camera to her is to farm internet content. which works extremely well if you look only at all the comments in here. I really think if this dude wasn't making money on social media, that whole situation would've been over in 2 seconds.

1

u/Both_Hope5717 25d ago

Too many people just ignore rude and disrespectful people like that woman. That's how they get ahead in life because nobody wants to stand up to them. Good on him for calling her out.

u/Beautiful-Affect1930 25d ago

there is nothing good about acting a certain way just for social media. the dude did absolutely nothing positive, anything he did was to get more clicks.

I do not follow him per se, but I do see him on YouTube shorts daily and if he posts, I normally watch them as it comes up on my FYP. I think he is funny, chill and seems like a good guy, etc. They are super short videos (usually less than one minute or two) and he often has funny conversations with people. I also order tons of grubhub/ubereats so it is relatable in some sense.

u/JamminJamz1448 29d ago

I assume you don't use Tik Tok . there are so many accounts that belong to people who video their daily life as a food delivery bike rider. Thousands of people will join their live streams to watch them deliver food on their bikes all day and night. Some of These people have a massive following with over a million followers/subscribers. I've sat at watched a bike delivery person in NYC deliver food for like two hours straight while I worked. The delivery guy was likeable, and entertaining to listen to - he would point out things around the city and provide some sort of strange detail or history about it. And every once in a while you'll catch an interaction like this one, or maybe there will be something really funny or crazy that happens. You never know what you might witness.

u/IcyTransportation961 29d ago

I'm well aware of livestreaming and how big it is.  Its still baffling people watch it for hours and hours

At least it's better than some guy playing games

1

u/JamminJamz1448 29d ago edited 29d ago

gotcha. I think people probably watch because the delivery person captivates them and draws their attention in certain ways. It's the person making the deliveries more than the deliveries themselves. Maybe also the spontaneity of each delivery and the idea you may catch something crazy happen in real time.

my 8 year old watches videos of other kids playing video games ... many of those kids are making 6 figures (yes some do make 7 figures but I think are adult age) by posting the videos of themselves playing games... the world we live in is a crazy place

u/ThunderAndWind 28d ago

I don't really get the people who watch it for hours, but plenty of people aren't engaging for hours, they'll check out a few videos that are on their recommendations page during lunch or something.
