“I don’t care. I don’t care if either one of you guys—this is a free.. we’re laughing,” the mom says to the couple, struggling to even find the right words to call them out. “We are laughing, is it a crime to laugh? I’m sorry Karen, what?”

The mom rolls her eyes then laughs as she leans back into her seat. The TikToker continues laughing.

“God forbid you hear a noise when you’re eating,” the mom sarcastically says to them, who are off-camera.

Turning back to the table, the mom says to the TikToker, “They actually yelled at us, like he was my daddy.”

The video’s voiceover says, “She can not deal with stupidity.” Then the mom is heard saying, “I don’t like stupid people at all. I just can’t deal with them. I cannot. I can’t.”

Viewers widely sided with the TikToker and her mom, saying in comments that the woman and her partner should have stayed at home if they wanted a quiet meal.
