The Weirdest Fan Interactions We Had in London

[@DMG2705]

The silent nod is usually a sign of acknowledgement or greeting. Down nod is a nod to someone you dont really know but are trying to be friendly. An up nod is a nod to someone you know well, trust, or are friends with.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

100% true.

[@talunae.8924]

I've never actually thought about the difference between "down nods" and "up nods" but now that you say it, it makes sense.

[@jenicdarling9425]

I had a guy explain that up is informal greeting like ay what’s up, and down nod is a formal greeting like hey how are you? Lol which makes a lot of sense

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

@@jenicdarling9425 Id say normal nod means good day.

[@discoloured3492]

It’s not that deep lmao

[@Ash_Wen-li]

I can understand why people do the silent nod. Heck, I do it with strangers sometimes when we make eye contact. But those fans are probably just a bit shocked and they can't think of what to do or say other than just nod

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Im actually trying to reduce my shyness and one of the things I do is not look down or away when walking past people on the street.

[@exrill6367]

I would think "the silent nod" would be like best/respectable way to say hello to them.. Like i would imagen they would hate: "OMG CONNER!!" and start up a scene after a long day at a con. :)

[@justinmoore3669]

Yea if i make eye contact i dont want to come off as rude so i nod as a way to acknowledge the other person.

[@taylortodd9881]

Ok it's not just me, people give me weird looks on occasion for this and I'm Just like"what else am I supposed to do"

[@MrBonzeMedal]

The silent head nod might be the best social interaction you can have. It’s nice without feeling like you have to speak

[@dosde8391]

Thats why they are fanatics. We should all strive to be enjoyers instead

[@TheClickbaiterA]

Agree, just enjoy and chill is the best way

[@Wolfedge75]

Which explains the thumbnail perfectly 🤣

[@jaris4435]

The silent nod is like a bro way of smiling at a stranger, sometimes it means hi or just a friendly nod. Upwards nod means like whats up

[@The_End_Of_Mike]

Connor's cab experience can be awkward sometimes but the most frustrating cab/uber rides are those times when the moment you enter the car the driver immediately ask for a tip like they're asking for a favor and at the back of mind I just think "Bro, we haven't even left yet."

[@Ash_Wen-li]

I think it's a pretty rude expectation to think that all of the change is going to be your tip, even if it's most likely the case. Usually when I pay like that I'll say, "Keep the change". But it's never been my experience where a waitress or someone just took all the money and didn't give any back.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Latvijā tipping is culturally considered rude and legally bribery, so latvieši never tip anyone if you took a latvieša money as a tip he would call you a thief and demand you return it immedietally.

[@dadumbazz]

Silent nod just means hi/respectful acknowledgement of your existence. It's pretty common.

[@Dylan-ti5zd]

Head nods in the UK are kind of like politely saying Hello without having to stop and talk. Don't need to know them.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Latvijā also.

[@IsmailAli-vb7ts]

Daidus tried to warn y’all 😂

[@DerpyDerpums]

Lol I'd guess it was John asking them to leave them alone

[@pax6833]

Parasocial relationships are so weird. I say that as a fan who would also be super happy to meet the boys but also paralyzed by crippling anxiety that I'd be obnoxious.

[@artistryunicorn928]

I think if you’re worried about being obnoxious, then you won’t be obnoxious

[@vampiredinosaur]

Dude. I tip that way too!!! Give me all of my change and then I will give you the tip! I’ve had so many cabbies act so weird about giving me all of my change! Change first, tip second, no negotiation! Like I’ve had to say that out loud before bc the cabbie was stalling so much like in Connor’s story.

[@Bambuh]

Instead of doing that, why don't you just say like "let's make it 20$" so that the person already knows how much you are going to give. That's what I always do

[@jamzilla6990]

Damn. I flew into the UK at the beginning of the week. It was nice today!

[@taxinvasion260]

10:18 That's just customary though, not necessarily recognition.

[@crispx19]

Well, that sounded so awkward Lmao

[@HimePenguin]

The easiest solution to a tipping debacle is just to never tip.

[@tiffanypicazo6599]

I would do the silent nod at times, out of habit, cause I had watched my dad doing for my entire childhood

[@giannibudding8973]

Are we intentionally not explaining the nod, because we all know

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

We do.

[@sjeabee5345]

Omg Connor is sooo sweet 💖💖 your fans appreciate that soooo much 🥰🥰

[@MarioVSCulex]

If you really want to be friends with a creator, you have to do a backflip for them.

[@krisztoth8475]

They are just being friendly When you make an eye contact with someone you kinda have to do something cus it would get awkward real fast or the person might feel shit. Or maybe they just know your content and just doesn't want to bother you I do it all the time especially when they are content creators

[@Macapta]

I’m just imagining a pregnant woman on a train asking Conner to make room next to him so she can sit down and he’s just like “errr…no?”

[@solastro5595]

The thing is... There are other seats around.

Compared from a lot of other creators, I gotta say, these three have A LOT OF PATIENCE. From what I heard you reaally try to not only not be agresive (wich they have the right to be as rude they want to some of these people, they don't need to social lecture them why that's not OK lol) they even go back and say they "weren't THAT BAD" lol. I gotta think the Anime cons prepare them to handle extreme awareness

[@TheCreepypro]

it is shit like this that reminds me I never want to be famous in any capacity I would have no patience for it I would be calling people out for their random bullshit all the time fuck being polite you have to establish boundaries with people as fast as possible and doing that with people who recognize you all the time sounds exhausting, famous people shouldn't exist we should all just be known from where we are from and that is it cause people just lose their minds in these kind of situations never mind socially awkward people who have barely been out of their houses

[@rogerlafaille9938]

We need a trash taste British challenge and a Ozzie 1

[@DUDA-__-]

The sikent nod probably is a I know you I like your stuff I dont want to bother you. If you want to interact react with more than a nod.

[@slurpeeman86]

I'ma ask Connor if I can sit on the other side of the room from him on of these days

[@lordofsloths9985]

American it's normal to just say hello or wave

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Latviešu starpā it is culturally demanded that you greet everyone you meet on the road as a sign of good faith. But cities have a lot of people so you can greet everyone so we do the northern europian thing of never saying a word to anyone you dont need to talk to (or dont know).

why do they look like they have botox but its like natural botox

[@Papercleeep]

Imagine being a fanatic 🤮🤣

[@jenh4376]

Also view this from a lens of non neurotypical people, who may be high functioning autistic or an Asperger’s who literally can’t read people. And since you guys are so friendly, they probably think they that people who they see and they meet they can become friends with. And you explained it so well to him Connor. And then you told him what was appropriate and why. Thanks for not holding it against them if they don’t get the social norms. Love you guys.
