A holiday-goer sparks outrage by throwing a tourist’s loudspeaker into the sea during a cruise in Greece. The viral incident ignites debate over public space etiquette.

A holiday-goer has sparked outrage after throwing another tourist’s speaker into the sea.

The woman then walks away, leaving the couple in shock at the bizarre incident.

The man appears to take it on the chin and starts giggling, but his female companion is not amused.

She gets up and starts shouting at the stranger who ruined their fun.

The video, which was later posted to Instagram, has over half a million comments and 3,000 likes.

And many people are hitting back at the “international Karen”.

Vashti added: “Not the way to handle it.”

Ana said: “International Karen.”

However, some users agreed with the holiday-goer’s choice to throw the item overboard.

Dale said: “Public space, use headphones.”

Nicole commented: “I’m thinking that the fact that someone was already filming means that she or others had already asked them to turn their music off or down and the person knew she was going to do something.”

Matt said: “This is why I don’t cruise.”
