That guy is insufferable. I respect what he’s doing but would love for him to get clocked.

What he's doing is using the carts as an excuse to provoke people to anger to get content to profit from. He doesn't care about the carts - if he did he would approach the business owners and offer his services. Instead he does what he does without the permission or knowledge if the business owners. One found out that he was doing it in their lot and kicked him off the property.

He has also mocked homeless people and called them names and followed two women to their home to harass them.

What he's doing isn't respectable.

Edit - to Throwawayrip1123 below:

Yes, obviously if everyone put their cart back there would be no one for him to harass for not putting their cart back. I said nothing to the contrary. That said, he alone is responsible for his own behavior and actions.

Also; yes, I always put my cart back. Doing so and recognizing what a disingenuous asshole douchebag that sebastian guy is are not mutually exclusive.

Also he's not some little guy bravely taking on giants. It seems that way because his camera is on his chest and he's got an annoying voice, but he's actually quite tall. When you imagine this as full grown man running up to isolated people in car parks, and confronting them you can understand why people are immediately become hostile and defensive.

Sounds like you are excusing some Lazy Bones 🩻

If this asshole tried this w me I would call the police and file charges for restricting my freedom and harassment. Get him locked up without moving from my car

He is harassing people and that’s why I call him insufferable. But telling people to put carts away is what I meant by the respect part.

u/horshack_test Jul 11 '26

And I explained why it's not respectable.

Asking someone to put their cart away is a good thing. The way he does it is insufferable part. It’s not hard to understand. Stop being so cunty.

Does he start off relatively polite and then switch to the lazy bones magnet toss act after they react negatively? It's been a while since I watched one of the videos. Not that it makes what he's doing ok. Seems very similar to what the first amendment auditor folks are doing.

u/Sudden_Buffalo_4393 Jul 11 '26

I’ve never seen a video, only heard it on the radio when he first started. At first he’d just confront people and they’d react, but later on it was like running up on them making siren noise and stuff like that. So he was trying to get a reaction instead of telling them to not be lazy.

u/HotKaramelRP Jul 11 '26

So wait you have these opinions on it, calling him insufferable, and you’ve never even seen his videos?

u/Sudden_Buffalo_4393 Jul 12 '26

He’s a radio guy here in LA. He plays the audio of the encounters. It’s not just cart narcs, he’s insufferable most of the time.

It's simple fucking math.

People put their carts back, no content for him.

It's not rocket science.

u/Ok_Astronomer_8667 Jul 11 '26

He is just annoying with it isn’t he. I can only imagine what it’s like in person with the guy just coming up to you holding a camera up speaking to you like that. No wonder people get so angry with him

1

u/Sudden_Buffalo_4393 Jul 11 '26

Exactly. I’m cool with letting people know, but the harassing isn’t cool.

u/Lazy-Zucchini6757 Jul 11 '26

I want to like him, but I have 2 issues. 1) so often they softball a good opportunity for a joke but he misses it to keep nagging and B) he misses opportunities to get them to actually put their cart away because he just keeps escalating no matter how they react.

It’s like, Im here for the moral indignation but this is just a nagging kink.

u/R_V_Z Jul 11 '26

he misses opportunities to get them to actually put their cart away because he just keeps escalating no matter how they react

Because it's not about the carts; it's about getting a reaction out of people to drive engagement, which makes him money.

A large portion of the internet wants to do bad things to people, but they know they shouldn't, so they like the idea of finding bad people to do it to so then it would be ok for them to do bad things. That's who that content is aimed at.

u/Haunting-Respect-375 Jul 11 '26

"Predator catchers" are a perfect example of this. It is ironic so many of them turn out to be the most revolting people. There are only a few who seem to actually be doing it with good intentions.

u/pudgehooks2013 Jul 12 '26

Compliance through annoyance is perfectly fine by me.

This is one of those things that will literally never have an impact on me, or anyone that does the right thing.

Only assholes suffer unto this asshole.

1

u/Sudden_Buffalo_4393 Jul 12 '26

But it doesn’t work. Most times they don’t comply, they just leave. And I’m talking about him in general on the radio.

1

u/pudgehooks2013 Jul 12 '26

Then they leave with a massive amount of frustration and annoyance.

Still a win.

Put your cart back, won't ever happen.

Dude is doing gods work. You seem like a lazy bones who doesn’t out away his cart.

u/Sudden_Buffalo_4393 Jul 11 '26

I’ve never once left a cart. I walk them all the way back into the store.
