  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?

      Probably not as bad as you’re thinking, he’s actually been waiting for this moment for years.

      Not very. Or incredibly.

      Sometimes I appreciate people like that to an extent. It’s a reminder to myself that I’m not a shitty person.

      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.

      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.

  my sister said she craved bleach for her second pregnancy.

  she abstained of course but the craving was there

    Pregnant woman are supposed to report cravings like that to their doctor… Apparently it can be a symptom of a serious problem.

      I craved spaghetti during my first pregnancy. Am I gonna be okay?

      My second and third pregnancies, I craved nothing in particular. Am I gonna be ok?

    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 saw a neighbor fill his lawnmower with gas, take the can and take a huge swig. He capped it and started his lawnmower like nothing. so many questions.

  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…

  source

  • LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source
  • occhionaut@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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

    Yeah this sounds like a prank. You could easily wash out an old detergent bottle and fill it with water or something

• Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  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.

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

  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.
