Stranger refuses to take 'no' for an answer before stealing Kick streamer's tripod
Kangjoel, a Kick streamer, found himself in a tense situation as he and his friend hailed an Uber. As they got into the car, a stranger approached them, appealing for a ride since they were hungry. The individual kept insisting:
"Can you drop me, please? (After being refused) No man, don't do this. Please, man. I wanna go. I'm hungry, I walked all the way. Don't do this man, please man."
Despite their repeated refusal, the individual entered the vehicle without an invitation, leading the Uber driver to raise their voice in response. Following the Uber driver's outburst, the individual hastily exited the car and snatched the Kick streamer's tripod.
