#2 is fun to do. I used to turn the wigs on mannequins and rumple their clothing back in the day. ---

Those who praise this person, real or fake, or the pranks (whatever you call them) should grow up…seriously. I didn’t find them funny. ---

I was not praising the guy , I was just tell something that happen to me b/c I couldn’t hear the toys playing , I think that was funny . ---

Once I found a wrapper from a pee stick pregnancy test in a Walmart MEN’s room. Sometimes I still wonder about that. ---

I didn’t mean to sound harsh or judgemental of anyone’s character in my reply…and of course nothing personal against any of you guys here 🙂 I guess what mildly annoyed me was that because it was at a Wal\*Mart it made all these things okay. Maybe #9 was funny in a very juvenile way, but most were obnoxious, inconsiderate, and potentially dangerous. ---

Dimitri Martin (the comic) had a funny idea. Not that I would do it. But… Grab a ‘BEWARE OF DOG’ sign and stick it on the mens room door. Pretty harmless, and the reactions might be interesting. ---

After the Hobby Lobby SCOTUS decision a bunch of presumably well-meaning people posted pictures of the letters on the letter racks which they had arranged into pro-contraceptive-access messages. None of them appeared to recognize that they were making work for the people they claimed to be supporting, because rich liberals are pricks. ---

I work as a store cashier. The standard response to" Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, “Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away” would be to call your supervisor and/or the floor worker and have them deal with it. The second anyone starts yelling, all the managers and most of the floor workers and cashiers descend like locust. ---

#11 is probably the most egregious one. That kind of shit opens the store up to massive liability for slip and fall injuries- if there’s some sort of liquid and there’s a warning sign, the store’s liability goes way down, but this clown’s messing with it means that if someone slips, falls and hurts themselves, the store’s now liable again, unless they can pin it on him via security cameras or something. That said, #2, 5, 13 and 16 made me laugh. ---

> [@SeaDragonTattoo](#): > > My parents used to to the alarm clock thing. Back when there were a lot more of them! Sometimes set for different times, sometimes all at once. Alarm clocks take too much effort, but I used to do this pretty regularly with the wind-up kitchen timers in stores like Bed Bath & Beyond. One quick twist of the dial, and the timer is set; you can wind up ten of them in ten seconds. ---

I was like WTF! and went told someone about it and they upset at me ! I guess no one wanted to clean it up and was pissed off I had the galls to complain about it. This was so GROSS!

> [@purplehearingaid](#): > > I was trying to find an Easter gift for a friend baby and there was a table with musical toy ducks . I winded up one and I didn’t hear anything so I thought it was broken so I winded another , damn broken , I tried all the ducks and they were all broken , then I turned around and saw the store manger standing with his arms across his chest looking very pissed off at me ! Then I realize I all the ducks going at once but I couldn’t hear them ! LOL! I have no idea what the ducks were playing but it had to been a very sound which I can’t hear. I did something similar by accident. A toy store had a display of teddy bears that had a record/playback device in them. You’d say something to it and a couple seconds later it would repeat what you said back to you. The bears weren’t boxed, just all in a big pile. So I picked one up, said something and listened to the playback. I said to my friend “that’s kinda cool” and put the bear back on the pile. The bear had picked up what I said and played it back. Then a couple more picked it up and repeated it and soon there was a talking bear cascade reaction. But the sound quality wasn’t great so each repeat was more garbled than the previous and pretty soon it just sounded like all the bears growling at each other. It probably took a couple minutes for it all to die out. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > The guy was probably delighted to learn that he wasn’t pregnant. I worry, in an abstract “no skin off my hide” way, that some guy out there is so ignorant that he thinks he can test **his** urine for signs that his girlfriend is or isn’t pregnant. Or, maybe, if she is pregnant, that it’s not his kid, because _HE_ came back negative. :smack: I don’t want to believe this, but I can’t convince myself. Because the unplumbed depths of ignorance and stupidity are truly appalling. ---
