Today at my retail job, a customer decided to stand on the paint desk. Just cause he was mad.
How bad is life going for someone when they get mad enough at paint to stand on a retail sales counter?

Customer facing retail workers are a unrecognized heroes of our society. They face the worst of us and have to keep their sanity in check usually for the lowest wages an employer can get away with. Some countries have compulsory military service. I would support legislation making compulsory customer service in a public facing role a requirement.
Though it has been decades since I worked customer facing retail, the cruel lessons I learned about how people treat others they have power over are absolutely foundational to my own interactions with customer facing workers. I work to inject patience, understanding, and respect when I can to those in customer facing roles. If I hadn't worked retail, I can't dismiss horrifying the possibility I might be standing on a paint counter today myself secure in my incorrect convictions and ignorant of my hubris.
Surprised that the tales from subs from reddit haven't been copied over.
There used to be a phenomenon on imgur (for people who spent all their free time there and didn't know what reddit was) called "work stories." We had a lot of fun sharing those.
Was it Lowe's? Sounds like a Lowe's customer.
Paint department is hell.
Remember, if you see someone drinking laundry detergent, no you didn't.
I wonder what it tastes like. I guess there's only one way to find out. BRB I'm goin' to Walmart...

But... Why would anybody lie about things on the internet?
I think it was more a joke on 'if you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't'
You don't remember that whole Tide Pod thing?
My comment is spin on "remember, if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't."
my sister said she craved bleach for her second pregnancy.
she abstained of course but the craving was there
Maybe she had covid??
Thanks, Donald.
Oh those were interesting days. Driving out in the middle of the night to get underripe green sour fruit and eating this one weird chicken rice curry thing every day for a month because "it's the best shit ever".
I had a friend in high school. We were at a gas station, and he went in to get some additive to put in his tank. On the way back to his car he unscrewed the cap, and took a big swig. The bottle still had the foil cap, so he wasn't actually drinking anything; he just did it for the reaction. The thing was, he didn't actually check if anyone was watching.
Sometimes people are just weird...
Well you obviously saw him do it, so he must've known in his peripheral vision that you were watching. That's all the thrill he needed.
If he checked before he committed, it would devalue the bit if anyone noticed! Its infinitely funnier to turn around like you were caught with a hand in the cookie jar lol
Sounds more like being fucked with for lulz. Like walking around drinking blue Gatorade out of a windex bottle.

Yeah this sounds like a prank. You could easily wash out an old detergent bottle and fill it with water or something
This feels like a fun thing to do on the weekend. Just go to Walmart with a cleaned out bottle of detergent filled with the beverage of your choice and make people think you're drinking Gain. If they ask you what your problem is, assure them you intend to pay.
So, she died from that, right?
You might say she paid for it.
Which island?
I know in person someone who used to eat bar soap. She eventually had to be hospitalized and confessed it to her family. She would eat a lot of other weird things too, and didn't even understand why people were so shocked about it. In the end, she had to undergo a psychiatric treatment.
"I took a chug of detergent at Walmart and this happened" video dropping soon
Not to be that guy but I am betting it is more likely that somehow he didn't see that happening vs the almost certain suicide attempt he thinks he saw.

I see this as an absolute win. The only downside is the results aren't instant.
