The photo, which was titled “Man dumps his food into aisle after eating what he wants” on Reddit and Instagram, has thousands fuming over the disrespectful actions.

A Reddit user named, capitoloftexas, wrote, “Wtf is wrong with people?”

Another, proscriptus, took a more direct approach saying, “Everyone who walks by him needs to smack him upside the head.”

Others were just confused about why someone would behave this way.

An Instagram user commented, “Who does this?!?!”

“People are so unbelievable!! What kind of a person thinks that this is acceptable behavior!! He should be fined for this,” another wrote.
