ha ha stupid

So I guess last night some moron was trying to steal stuff by cutting the "damn near impossible to open" plastic with a razor knife. Knife slipped and he ended up cutting the hell out of his arm. Security/management (not sure which or what time it happened exactly) had to bandage him up and send him to jail via ambulance (assuming they had to take him somewhere to get sewn up properly first)

Super Boss said if we saw any stray blood to let him know so he can clean it up. Sure thing

Then I found out something that made the night suck but that's a different post.

Ewwww...

Well at least the MOD knew that cleaning up blood is NOT your responsibility (can't even ask you to do it if not HAZMAT trained, iirc). I hope the story of how he got hurt spreads rapidly at the hospital/jail/wherever...

What do you think the chances are of him suing your store because he was injured by your product?

We know it's happened.

Only if he stole our knife and used it. If he brought his own knife in, then he injured himself with his own personal property. HAHA.

Seriously, I haven't heard of it yet within my own company, though I admit that I don't go searching through public records involving them either.

I hate stupid people. I'm just glad I didn't see any blood.

Instant karma.

It's about par for the course. Everyone in jail is there cuz they did something stupid.

I like the fact that the stupid thief managed to slash his arm open while trying to steal something. However, I HATE those stupid plastic blister packs. Even when I've acquired the item legitimately, i STILL can't open the stupid pack without resorting to power tools!

bandage scissors work like a charm on those damned things ...

I must have some super scissors, then, because only the truly oddly shaped ones thwart me and must be attacked with the Cutco Death Knives.

I've never been able to open one without damaging the cardboard/paper inside, though. There goes my little warranty notice.

Packaging is getting ridiculous. A couple of years ago, our granddaughter got a new doll for Christmas. It required a screwdriver to get the doll from the package (even had an insert stating that). What, they think it's going to come to life and need restraining until purchased

It wasn't a Chuckie doll, was it?

That movie gave me the creeps. In fact, some dolls still do with their relentless always staring eyes.

Ick.

Another tool that seems to work is an "iSlice" that I got from some friends a while back. The name is unfortunate, but it really works on those packages without any collateral damage.

Be glad you don't have a zuni fetish doll.

In the movie Trilogy of Terror,one of the stories was a woman who recieved one as a gift. There was a warning not to take a necklace or chain off. Somehow the necklace came off it and it came to life and started attacking her.
It was a really and I mean really scary looking doll.

Well at least the MOD knew that cleaning up blood is NOT your responsibility (can't even ask you to do it if not HAZMAT trained, iirc).

At the swamp, this would consist of watching a training DVD on bloodborn pathogens, that I know for a fact was produced at the flagship store about 10 years ago, because that's when I worked there and can identify a couple people pictured in the program.

Speaking of which, I'm supposed to take that training, because I haven't had it in a year and thus I've forgotten how to clean up bodily fluids without giving myself HIV or hepatitis. But management will come to me about that in good time.

I remember that movie! The woman had put the doll up for the night, and the necklace/chain just fell off... What I never understood is why she was trying to grab the serrated knife blade the doll kept sticking under the door...
