A California man confronted a fellow train passenger for eating a burrito and then called the cops on him when he refused to stop.
The disciplinarian shouted, ‘The sign says no food or drink on board, don’t you get it?’ as the hungry customer munched away during a video uploaded to Reddit on Sunday after being filmed on the Bay Area transit line (BART).
As the other passengers laughed and urged the burrito-eater to ignore his outbursts, the man said, ‘I’ll get the police onboard, how about that?’ before doing just that through the emergency intercom.

‘Yes please, can you get a policeman onboard here? We’ve got someone dining here in the first car,’ he tells the driver.
The situation eventually calmed down when the rule-breaker got off at Coliseum station in Oakland. No cops appear to have been called.
Afterwards, another passenger turned to the frustrated man and said he probably ‘does not ride BART much’.
‘I ride BART more than either of you,’ he replied, while insisting he just wants people to follow the rules while on the train.

The video received a mixed reaction on social media, with most people branding the man’s actions excessive but others coming to his defense.
‘Seriously, who cares. I doubt burrito guy was making a mess,’ one wrote.
‘I like rule followers, personally, but rule enforcers are another thing entirely, and this guy needs to let it rest,’ said another.
But one user backed him up, writing: ‘There’s nothing worse than getting crammed into a rush-hour train and having multiple seats unusable because some selfish d***bag has spilled his coffee or breakfast burrito all over the place.’
