Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy ain't happy one bit with a man causing personal disruption in an airport.

The Massachusetts-born blogger took to Twitter to showcase his disgust at a man having his phone on loudspeaker in an airport.

Take a look at what he had to say below:

I can't even lie, it's infuriating when someone in a public setting has their phone on loudspeaker and Dave might actually have a point here.

The 46-year-old said it's 'basic human decency' to not 'talk on speaker phone in a crowded public space'.

Taking to social media, Dave shares a clip of him sitting in an airport with his back towards a dude who appeared to be talking on speakerphone nearby.

“So, I’m flying commercial because Elio bankrupted me and I gotta be honest, I don’t get people like this,” he said.

“Who puts their buddy on speaker like this?

“It’s crazy. Does he even hear me talkin’ about him?

“Just take it off speaker, put it in your phone. It’s basic human decency.”

While continuing to pan the camera to show the back of the man's head, Dave referenced a fictional Seinfeld character.

“As George Costanza said, ‘We’re living in a society,’” he quoted.

“Makes no sense!”

Users have definitely been divided by the clip, as one person tweeted: "Legit one of my pet peeves…. That and people on Instagram/Social Media with the volume all the way up."

"Agree 100% it’s unbelievably annoying and disrespectful of others!!" penned a second.

While a third person also thought: "Correct. Creating content ok. Creating a nuisance not ok."

Someone else added: "Agree and disagree. If the public space is something where people are close by, fine, but if that person isn’t close by to people, who cares."

Others were quick to point out how Dave regularly vlogs in public places and have questioned whether or not it's the same thing.

"Well, I agree with you 100% Dave, isn’t FaceTime or going live on FB or whatever basically doing the same thing?" one viewer thought.

Another added: "He is on speaker phone and you are recording for social media in public.. I will add that you are filming people that probably don’t want to be filmed. Would have served you better to just write out a tweet instead of add to the noise that seemed to upset you."

"Guy in camo records himself talking to his phone about a guy talking on his phone... makes no sense," agreed a third.

"But aren't you doing the same talking to the camera and recording it?" someone else questioned.
