Videos showing middle-aged men causing a disturbance by spilling coffee on tables after being asked to stop smoking in a non-smoking coffee shop have sparked outrage among netizens.

On the 7th, the small business and self-employed community 'Apeunikka Sajangida' posted a 2-minute video along with a message saying, "We informed them about the no-smoking policy, but they poured and threw coffee while mocking us. It was very scary and difficult."

A, who operates a franchise coffee shop, revealed the coffee shop's CCTV footage, saying, "There is a no-smoking sticker on the cafe terrace table, but they boldly smoked there. When our staff asked them to smoke in the alley next to the terrace, they behaved like that."

According to the video filmed around 8 p.m. the previous day, after ordering two drinks, two middle-aged men were smoking on the coffee shop terrace. When a staff member gestured and asked them to smoke outside, one man spilled the drink-filled cup on the table and then left the coffee shop.

Another middle-aged man followed by picking up a mug and throwing it toward the road. The drink spilled onto the street, and the cup flew toward a nearby parked car. A passerby witnessed this and was startled, pausing briefly, as captured on CCTV.

The staff member, who witnessed the men's behavior up close, gave a brief nod toward them and then went back inside the coffee shop. The men glanced back at the coffee shop, smoked their cigarettes, and left. After they left, the staff came out again to collect the mugs and other items dropped on the roadside.

A said, "They mocked us by saying 'Clean it up well' while spilling coffee and 'Go ahead and report us' while throwing coffee. It was really scary and exhausting," adding, "I don't know what to do from now on."

He continued, "This is a friend who has worked diligently for two years, and I'm very worried that this incident might cause trauma. What kind of behavior is this toward a young person in their 20s? We reported it to the police on the 6th, submitted a statement, and provided the card approval number."

The post received many comments from netizens. They expressed reactions such as, "They look old enough to be a father, yet they acted like this in front of someone like a daughter... Would they have done this if the staff member was a big male?" "I'm worried the staff might be emotionally hurt," "What do they gain by acting like this?" "I thought one of them would stop the other, but they did even more," and "I hope they somehow make the men apologize to the staff."
