Viral Video: A video of a tourist shouting at hotel staff has gone viral on social media. The man was staying at a hotel with his family and got very angry over a payment issue. He thought the hotel had charged him twice, not knowing that they had only put a temporary hold on his credit card. A family member had already paid for the room, but the man didn’t understand that.
In the video, he is seen yelling loudly, calling the staff rude names, and hitting the counter. He was barefoot and wearing a “Greatest Dad Ever” T-shirt. Even when the staff tried to explain calmly, he kept shouting “blo** fools, blo* thieves, blo** rogues,” and even moved toward a female staff member in a scary way.
Other hotel guests told him to stop and lower his voice. Many people online were upset after watching the video and called his behaviour wrong. Some said he might be Indian, while others think he is from Sri Lanka.

The viral video was shared on the social media platform X (Formerly Twitter) by the handle '@LASHYBILLS.' The post was captioned, "Tourist has an insane freakout after being charged twice at a hotel." The video shared yesterday received 6.7 million views from social media users.
People, without wasting any time, reacted to the viral video. One user wrote, "Sounds like he’s freaking over the deposit that you pay when you arrive." "Unless I'm mistaken, you don't "pay" for the room a week ago. You put a card down to secure the reservation. Payment is taken when you check out," a second user added. "holding an amount on the credit card (holding, not charging) for incidentals... this is super common practice that 99.99% of the hotels in the world do. What the heck," added a third user.
"I think Dad has been watching too many Democrat movies," a fourth user added. "If such a small inconvenience causes this kind of behaviour, better stay at home or stay in a hotel you can afford," added a fifth user. "This guy is definitely going through something else in his life. Losing yourself completely for getting charged twice isn’t the reason for his outburst," added another user.
