I agree with you, changed to women, however I still don't know how to deal with this kind of situation next time.
After politely asked (but I did not have the camera to show for this situation), and after politely explained the technical aspect (without camera to show) to the young women (I thought younger and female person would not be familiar with the technical theories), since I also went there to shoot some videos as I have did many already, I decided just video taping it (that is what you see in this video). Maybe there was shaming there because I was running out of other polite options, but I certainly did not lose my temper. Maybe I could move to a more expensive charger, I know a lot of you would do that, but I did not. Maybe that was a bad decision, but I make many bad decisions in my life and hopefully I learn (and show other people) from my mistakes.

thankyouOB said:davewill said:If I were a young woman and some guy with a camera in my face tried to tell me I was hurting my battery by charging, I'd probably want to say anything that would make him go away. I don't believe that it will hurt the battery, and they probably didn't either...and since you tried to scare them with that, they probably discounted everything else you said, too.
Next time just ask politely...and if it doesn't work, wait politely...don't put them on YouTube and make shocked comments. Any kind of time limit has be programmed in, you simply won't get general, spontaneous observance of a made up etiquette rule.
I agree with what you say here about this incident and the shaming, with regard to how to responsibly deal with people with whom you disagree or whose behavior you want to affect.
also, the author might reflect on his choice of words in calling the women "young girls."
