TikTok made a grocery run anything but average for one Maryland man. What should’ve been a simple trip to the store turned into a full-on episode of “Real Housewives: Aisle 7.” Forget the avocados and kale; this was all about an impromptu homophobic showdown between a woman who couldn’t mind her business and a guy just trying to live his best hoodie-and-sweatpants life.

The TikTok video, which quickly went viral, shows the drama unfold as a Black woman in leggings and a leather jacket launches a homophobic attack against the unsuspecting shopper. Why? Because, apparently, his clothing gave off “gay vibes”—or something. Spoiler: He was just wearing sweatpants and a gray hoodie. I repeat: sweatpants.
“Boy, Get Outta Here with Your Gay [Expletive]”
The video opens with the woman going full throttle on the verbal attack. “Boy, get outta here with your gay [expletive],” she shouts, aggressively pushing his cart like she’s trying to get a rise out of him. For real, who knew grocery aisles had such intense energy? Meanwhile, our hero (the man) is just trying to mind his own business while filming the whole interaction like a true TikTok champ.
@deonteiy just got hate crimed in the grocery store, tik tok please do your thing. Please help me find her. #gaytiktok #dmv #maryland #viralvideo #fyp
“I don’t like you,” he tells her, while trying to stay calm. Because when life hands you homophobic strangers, you pull out your phone and press record, right?
The Yelling Just Keeps Coming
Naturally, she’s not having any of it. “What’s up? What’s up, gay boy?” she yells, making it clear that she’s completely lost the plot. Her rant escalates as she demands that he “cover up” and rants about how she’s “sick of this gay [expletive].” Spoiler alert: The only thing we’re sick of is her unprovoked hatred and her complete misunderstanding of the fashion icon that is sweatpants and a hoodie.
Enter the Friend—Not the Hero We Needed
Of course, things wouldn’t be complete without the classic “friend stepping in” moment. But instead of being the calm, reasoned voice of reason, her friend asks the man recording to just “move on.” Because, obviously, it’s the victim’s job to leave when a stranger is harassing them, right? Talk about backwards logic.
Meanwhile, our guy sticks to his guns, continuing to film while the woman escalates. We stan someone who knows how to document their own drama.
TikTok to the Rescue—Let’s Find Her, Internet!
At this point, the man uploads the video with the caption, “Just got hate-crimed in the grocery store. TikTok do your thing. Please help me find her.” And, as expected, TikTok did exactly what it does best: find the villain. The internet has been abuzz, sharing the video and calling out the woman for her outrageous behavior.
Sweatpants and a Hoodie: The Real Villain
Now, for the million-dollar question: What exactly was so offensive about this guy’s outfit? Nothing. He was simply wearing sweatpants and a hoodie, people. But apparently, that’s enough to trigger a stranger’s wild attack on your identity and wardrobe. How dare he be comfy? How dare he exist without fear of being policed for what he wears?
The real crime here is not the hoodie—it’s the attitude.
Internet Outrage + Karma Incoming
As expected, the internet has collectively roasted this woman alive. The outrage has been real. Everyone is wondering how in the world a trip to the grocery store could spiral into such a mess. Our guy got hate-crimed in an aisle where he probably just wanted to grab some cereal.
Let’s be real: If TikTok tracks her down, we’re all here for the karmic justice she’s about to get served. But for now, let’s just hope this woman learns a valuable lesson—preferably one she can only learn through a viral callout.
A Grocery Store Lesson We Can All Take Home
At the end of the day, this incident is a reminder that some people just can’t let others live their best lives without spewing hate. It doesn’t matter if you’re shopping for broccoli or Oreos—some people can’t mind their business. Hopefully, TikTok finds her, and karma delivers a fitting payback.
Until then, the moral of the story? Keep doing you, whether you’re in sweatpants, a crop top, or rocking a full-on glitter suit. And next time you’re in the cereal aisle, maybe grab an extra box for a snack—’cause you never know when your day might take a turn for the dramatic.
