    How bad is life going for someone when they get mad enough at paint to stand on a retail sales counter?

    is “Today at my retail job” a community, because it should be

    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.

    Remember, if you see someone drinking laundry detergent, no you didn't.

    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.

    Sounds more like being fucked with for lulz. Like walking around drinking blue Gatorade out of a windex bottle.

    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.

    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.

    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.
