The family's breakfast moment is disturbed

While he is busy with his careful selection, he notices that a child has added too much water to the kettle for tea and immediately. The amusing moment of territorialism is interrupted when his daughter corrects him. She innocently questions his actions, asking him why he is taking meat when he has eggs. Throughout the clip, the man is seen licking his fingers and touching the communal plate of meat.

Others said he looked like a man who has his own chair that no one sits on, and a cup no one is allowed to use
