American tourist has a meltdown after being lost in the Wicklow Mountains, Republic of Ireland

  1. That actually happened to me. Got lost and needed directions off a lad on a horse.

    But instead of the Wicklow Mountains in summer, it was Coolock in November.

  2. I mean, yeah, going out without water is stupid. Continuing on after running out of water is even more stupid.

    Laughing and taking the piss out of someone in that position isn’t a good look though.

  3. You can literally see houses and an urban environment in the background, jaysas hope she doesn’t think of hiking the Andes next year.

    Secondly what an arsehole for recording her.

  4. Gets more like black mirror every year when a person is focused more on making fun of a person for videos views then helping out.

  5. It’s a small mean thing to revel in someone’s misfortune like this. American lady mad a bad call but who hasn’t. Video lad.. bereft of any empathy. Tell the story to your mates down the pub, leave it at that and hope that you never find yourself the butt of someone’s hilarious distributed lols

  6. So he is laughing at her for going on a hike in 28 degrees with no water when he also has no water? Horse back riding is exercise, it just uses different muscles, and also requires water.

  7. This thread is magnitudes more kind than the other one, so you’re representing yourselves well here. I think the guy on the horse just didn’t know how badly she was afraid. Like a person who can swim being unable to identify with a fear of water the same way a non swimmer would.

    I’m a healthy young person and I got turned around on a solo hike in the mountains once. I was within 10 kilometers of my house as the crow flies, but up hill, heavy forest, identical trails, temperature dropping as night comes…. I wasn’t panicked but I was fighting the urge to.

  8. What a horrible horrible condescending wanker to post this video of this person dehydrated and in distress. I hope this person is found out and given shit for it. Tik tok is such a scummy place.

    I feel like I’ve met Irish guys like that; sexist condescending people who talk down to women and are just naturally rough and insensitive.

  9. I get she was being an eejit getting herself into that situation, and being dramatic, and trust me, I love shittalking/laughing at Americans, but Jaysus, nasty way to treat someone in distress… and then put it on public social media?? Come on now, that’s just not nice?

  10. Smug head on him. Yes, let’s all point and laugh at the naive tourist who went on a hike in the Dumplin hinterland without water during a heatwave. The feckless cumshedder.

  11. Ok. She messed up but he is a thundering ass. He’s trying so hard to look smart at her expense. The woman was clearly having a panic attack. Also, I doubt that he would have done this if she was conventionally attractive.

  12. I read the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one who thought this guy was a total prick. Saw this on TikTok today first and the comments there all seemed to think it was hilarious.

  13. I forgot my water bottle when I went up Cnoc na dTobar and a lovely family near the top was picnicking and gave me a club lemon, I’ll never forget them

  14. What a horrible man. The poor woman – we’ve all gotten lost and done stupid things on holidays. I also hate seeing people make fun of heavy people for the terrible crime of going out and exercising, what the hell do people want them to do? I hope she got home ok and the rest of her trip was better.

  15. Can’t even escape online ridicule in the Wicklow mountains. There’s also an element of fatphobia in this. Like, I know if you put in the work consistently, you can lose weight but at the end of the day, obesity is a disability. Maybe she used to weigh 50kg more than she does now and she’s finally built up the strength to go hiking. She’s inexperienced, hasn’t had a chance to test her limits and gets ridiculed at her worst moments.

    Like who hasn’t had a meltdown after being physically exhausted? Yes she overestimated herself but hasn’t she been punished enough already?
