Going out for the 4,309th time to the waste can outside of the store to dump some abandoned Jamba Juice cups when out of the blue, I feel water dribble onto my chest area. I look up thinking that a fire sprinkler or a water pipe had burst, and as I look around, I see where the source of the water has come from.
A guy, in his 40's, with a kid on his shoulders, holding a water gun.
Okay, if that hasn't settled in, lemme explain that again:
A 40-ish guy holding a water gun, with his little 2 or 3 yr old rugrat on his shoulders.
It takes a few seconds to realize that this guy has used a water pistol to shoot water at me. Then the fun starts:
Me: What the hell did you just do?
Guy: It's hot, you should cool off. *squirts me again with the water gun, now my bra is showing thru my shirt*
Me: GIMME THAT GUN!! *grabs the gun and forces it away*
*At this point, my yelling of GUN has caused a minor panic where several shoppers have started to flee, while one of my co-workers, who's walking after taking a lunch break, sees me and rushes over to help.*
Guy: Leggo, I got my kid on my shoulders!!
Co-Worker: Drop the Gun then!!
A slight struggle ensues, where i'm trying to yank the water gun out of his hands, my co-worker is trying to grab the kid from this guys neck, and he's crying bloody murder and worrying more about his kid, and the kid is screaming like a banshee. Fortunately for the situation, the trifecta of Cops (who ironically were at the Starbucks across the mall proper responding to a similar incident where a Tourist was water pistoled by the same guy) Mall Security (who were trying to search for the guy in the hopes that he was still on mall property and tell him to leave) and LP (whom is alerted by another of my co-workers who sees the fight outside of the store and rushes out) stops the situation from escalating further.
Long story short: Guy is arrested by the cops for Sexual Harassment (My charges) and Assault (The other person he water pistoled was at the forehead, not the clothing), Kid is taken by Child Services, and everyone now knows that I wear a 40C black bra from Victoria's Secret.
