But it was red!

Hahah @ the idiot who tried stealing DVDs. Now what would be great? If he crushed them when he tripped and fell.....and then the store charges him for damaged merchandise.

It's bad enough they'll have been in a crotchzone but damn...


I wonder what the thugger was stealing. Classic good stuff like Monty Python? Muppet Show? Old reruns of Fix This Old House?

hehe

The Lawrence Welk Show.

It's funnier when you imagine them stealing dorky, antiquated stuff like that.

Barney or Sesame Street

Ah the Karma-Wangsta tripleirony face plant, very rare and therefore worth many, many

PATHETIC points

It's a cryin shame he didn't go for the darwinian...

Barney or Sesame Street

Been even funnier if it had been something vintage like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet or Leave It To Beaver.

He made it about three yards. He then tripped over the hem of his baggy pants and faceplanted into the floor.

Truly excellent.

Pity the video can't be released.

I would pay to see that on youtube.

It looked pretty!
My mother works at <major bookstore chain>. She still can't work a computer, but has been relaying me some stories of her customers for quite some time. I share stories from this board to cheer her up. (I'd say I hope to get her to join some day, but my last attempt to teach her to click on file folders to open them ended with her in tears, so I'm not holding my breath here.)

M - my mother
SC - clueless lady, middle-aged

M: Welcome to <bookstore>!
SC: *stares around as if in a daze*
M: .... can I help you find anything, miss?
SC: I'm looking for this book.
M: ....
SC: ....

Lady - you're in a bookstore. You're going to have to do better than that.

SC: It's red!
M: What was the title?
SC: *cheerful smile* I don't know!
M: Do you know the author?
SC: *frowns* No.
M: *trying to be patient* Well, what is the book about?
SC: *angry* I don't know! How am I supposed to know that?! It's not like I read it! It was red and it had gold letters on the cover. It was here a few weeks ago. Why is this so hard for you?!
M:
SC: It was RED!

At this point, M glances quickly over the 'new releases' area in the front, as that's the most likely place for someone with her attention span to even look at books. (After that point, she'd probably be distracted by some lint on the floor and go play with that, so...) She picks out a book that has a lot of red on the cover and yellowish text and offers it to the customer.

SC: See, it wasn't that hard! You should learn how to do your job!
M:

Bonus: She found out later that the book she handed the customer had just been released that morning. There was no way it was the same book that customer had seen before.
