Friends prank passenger with kissesfrom @maxmanticof_
[01]
Overview
From the driver's seat, the creator films a friend in the passenger seat getting annoyed by another friend standing outside the car. The friend outside repeatedly blows kisses and claims the passenger "caught" them. The passenger becomes increasingly frustrated, denying it and telling the friend to stop, while the creator eggs it on, culminating in the passenger lunging forward in exasperation.

- 4
The Frustration Loop
