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.

However, the streamer intervened, attempting to defuse the situation and prevent any harm to anyone involved. When accused of theft, the agitated stranger declared:

"I took it, not steal! I took it because I was annoyed at you."

The stranger ultimately refused to relinquish the tripod, revealing that it had been damaged during the altercation.
