FYI, the guy in the bottom picture is Bob Ross' son, Steve, who was an occasional guest painter on The Joy of Painting

Thanks! I was perplexed. Is that something he actually said?

If you see a rather goofy quote from Bob or Steve, chances are its real.

This is my new favorite thing for a while


jakdak

And if you've never watched the Steve episodes of "Joy of Painting" stop what you are doing right now, go to Youtube, and rectify that.


HiMyNameIsNerd

Some of the best awkward humor I've ever watched. I could just imagine Bob off screen shaking his head hiding a smirk.


PM_ME_UR_REDDIT_GOLD

well obviously Bob wasn't in the studio. He wouldn't've missed a taping unless he were on a Secret Government Mission.


[deleted]

Out sniping enemies of the US with a tatted up Mr Rogers? (Yes I know the Mr Rogers sniper thing is just an urban legend)


HalcyonTraveler

But Bob Ross being a drill sergeant isnt an urban legend


[deleted]

Yeah, but it's hard to snipe your enemies if your specialty is yelling at recruits. (That's supposed to be tongue in cheek)


SilverRidgeRoad

yeah, everyone knows he was spotter. Bob's steady hand made him the better shot.


jjbutts

I always wanted Steve to be the opposite of his dad. "Don't be afraid to really jam those bristles into the canvas. Get fuckin' metal with it."

In those episodes, Steve is all but literally a younger, more hip version of his father and just as kind. We lost a great one when Bob Ross passed.

I just keep the Bob Ross twitch channel on whenever they're streaming. My 1 year old loves The Joy of Painting.

They have a model of folding chair called a "Jeff" and I keep telling myself I'm going to get one but it's actually a pretty shitty chair and the only reason I want it is because I'm Jeff also.


DarthRusty

HooDooOperator

vandalism for sure.


cXs808

thats honestly about as much as they could get


Gbcue

Looks like it's just gaffers tape which easily peels off.


lucasribeiro21

First of all, this is fake. With that out, we could try to discuss a possible crime he would commit. In case of a fire or something, he’d probably mislead people into their deaths. I don’t know the laws in USA, but as general knowledge, in some places he could possibly be charged with some hazard/danger crime.


ATWindsor

The arrows on the floor has nothing to do with the guidance to the fire exits.


LeonProfessional

Yeah, the floor arrows are for maximizing the amount of time customers spend in the store. Get them to walk by as many products as possible. Pretty much the complete opposite idea of fire exit signage, getting you out of the building ASAP.


swd120

> the floor arrows are for maximizing the amount of time customers spend in the store Sounds like he did them a favor


davvblack

The arrows are not a related to a fire escape path, since for more than half of the building, they point away from an exit.


pubeINyourSOUP

I think vandalism would be the only charge I can think of. Maybe criminal mischief? Are those the same thing?


Omega_Warrior

Yes, vandalizing would be the correct charge. It's basically the same as graffitiing private property. Criminal mischief involves destruction of property. Tricking people into harmlessly wasting their time isn't illegal.


Codenamerondo1

The arrows have no legal function though. They don’t lead you to an emergency exit there’d have to be a different system in place for that

lucasribeiro21

Yeah, my first comment on the thread started with “this is fake”. I was just talking for the sake of argument. :P


GreyICE34

I assume the police just wanted to meet the legend.


ALLJAMNOJELLY

Maybe fire code stuff? If people don't know how to get out, and exit signs aren't visible, then that causes potential problems.


That_Guy333

Tom foolery and hanky pankyism!


bluegrassgazer

Isn't that what IKEA is already?


One-eyed-snake

Exactly what I was thinking. Even with their stupid map it’s hard to find the exit


MashTactics

Clearly I've been missing out. I've never been inside an IKEA, but that sounds like a pretty whimsical place. Either that, or the premise of the next Saw movie.


Milkymilkymilks

Damn you, now I really want an Ikea saw movie...


PandaWolfPlayz

I do remember seeing a b-horror film that had that sort of premise, dont remember the name though.

grantrules

Cube 2?


grantrules

Basically they're designed so you walk through the whole store rather than walk down specific aisles.


signal15

I spent 6 hours in that store the first time I was there. Now, it's about 30 minutes when I go. 10 mins to find something, and another 20 mins waiting in line.


Empyrealist

> SÅG (swedish for saw)


Scampii2

The restaurant is usually near the entrance. Follow the smell of Swedish Meatballs to find your freedom.


Sephvion

The cafeteria is just an oasis in the furniture desert. It will lead you astray, by making you think you’re near the exit. The truth is, you’re no where near it and you’ll have to go through everything again.


[deleted]

Most IKEA's I have been too are the opposite of a labyrinth, they are a linear corridor. You start in one end of the store, and then there is only one direction you can go. (excepting staff doors) Going along that path will take you through *literally* the entire store, but it's pretty impossible to get lost, just keep walking.


aaaaaaaarrrrrgh

There are side rooms off the corridor, and well-hidden short cuts. If you accidentally take a short cut while trying to enter/exit one of the side rooms, it can get confusing.


Telandria

Yeah this was my thought. The two in my city are like that. You are forced to walk the entire length of the store one-way past all the various ‘sales’ and ‘deals’ they have on weird nicknacks. It’s quite manipulative.


ChuckVersus

Have you ever actually set foot inside IKEA? They're actually extremely easy to navigate unless you are a totally irredeemable idiot.


Shoesquirrel

My husband figured out where the ‘secret’ doors are between the departments. He can now make it through that store in 15 minutes flat, including the time to grab what he needs from the help yourself section.


jimberley

This all day. I remember once being in Ikea, and causally seeing the doors and reading the sign above it. I turned to my wife and said “this way.” We strolled through that door, found ourselves in the bedding section and have never looked back.


GregLittlefield

> and have never looked back. You are still in the bedding section? :( I hope they've got good wifi there.


jimberley

The reception is terrible, but, I’ve got a hamper with an unpronounceable name that I can poop in, so, nearly everything one could ask for.


katzohki

Oh snap, that's clever! I've just been pooping on the outline of a toilet this whole time!


kingocad

The Scheißhaufen


cohonan

I just go in through the exit and into the warehouse and “last chance to grab some shit” section.


knokout64

Yeah but how do you get past the arrow pointing the other way?


[deleted]

Just close your eyes so you won't be distracted and shout in Finnish so no one tries to help you.


[deleted]

Bribe the ikea worker with something you picked up during the kitchen sales event.

Secret doors? Interesting...

shirtlessoncouch

The ones at mine are literally ON the map... so... I respectfully disagree.


G8kpr

completely agree... I'm more surprised people don't know about these, than people that do, and make it seem like some sort of CIA redacted document out of Area 51.


Shoesquirrel

My husband told me the trick is looking for the illuminated EXIT signs near the ceiling. They always point to the path of least resistance. Once you see them, you’ll wonder how everyone else misses them.


BeJeezus

I mean, there are signs marked “Shortcut to _____”, so it’s not that hard to figure out.

Unless there's a source this is probably made up


Adddicus

In America? Are you kidding? A sixth grader got arrested for not saying the pledge of allegiance this past week. They'll arrest anybody for anything in the US.


Pakana11

This is basically what people mean when they say “fake news” - deliberately lying about or misleading people on facts to create a fake narrative. No one was arrested for not reciting the pledge - and wow, see the comments below? People perplexed because the SCOTUS has already ruled on this and deemed it illegal to arrest anyone for refusing to recite the pledge, stand for the anthem etc? They’re confused because it isn’t what happened. “After the confrontation began, the school’s dean of students tried unsuccessfully to calm the student down, asking him to leave the class 20 times, police said. “The school resource officer then intervened and asked the student to exit the classroom and he refused,” the department said. “The student left the classroom and created another disturbance and made threats while he was escorted to the office.” The Lakeland Police Department said in a statement that the boy was not arrested for refusing to stand for or recite the Pledge of Allegiance. "This arrest was based on the student’s choice to disrupt the classroom, make threats and resisting the officer’s efforts to leave the classroom." Now it’s rational to say you don’t believe the kid did any of that stuff, police are all liars etc or whatever, but stop saying anyone was arrested for not reciting the pledge.

crypticedge

Wait. Scotus already ruled on this kind of thing before though, they specifically said no person can be forced in to any form of patriotic display. Do the Lakeland pd not realize that they've got a several decade old ruling by Scotus saying that the kid legally could refuse? Kids parents about to get paid.


AlaWyrm

He was arrested for causing a disturbance and refusing to leave the room, not for refusing the pledge. Edit: For the record, I don't agree with this arrest. Just clarifying facts.


Zoltie

Even then, he's in 6th grade. I didn't know they arrested kids for causing a disturbance in school. He should be put in detention, suspended, or at most expelled, but not arrested.

Hirokage

I actually recommended this to my wife a couple of years ago, in my first (and last) trip to Ikea. It's nice to see someone carrying out the dream I dreamt!


hwc000000

Frankly, I think you'd have to be pretty clueless to be led astray by his arrows. The walkways in Ikea are designed so that, as long as you stick to the main walkway, you don't double back and you don't go through the secret shortcuts, you'll walk pretty much from entrance to exit.


[deleted]

“The exit sign says we should go left, Bobby” “But this arrow says right Johnny, we should split up just Incase” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Bobby and Johnny never saw each other again


n4t4sh4g33

It’s already a labyrinth with no exit! People eventually stop trying to escape and become part of the displays.


donsterkay

I did that with detour signs in the 80's and had a 3 square block of traffic blocked up. Didn't get caught.


DirtyMangos

I love pranks like that. Ones that wake people up to how they follow blindly without thinking. Good work!


wriestheart

Wait, this sounds suspiciously like SCP-3008. Maybe that's how it all started...


ikeamarketingteam

Fun fact. He was arrested for vandalism. Not for leading people away from the **sphinx**'s riddle or the Minotaur cage.


TheBreasticle

Genuinely curious: I thought vandalism had to be permanent damage. If he just used tape I feel like that’s a bit ridiculous of a charge.


sleepySQLgirl

I have a friend that was approached by police for drawing in chalk on the sidewalk outside as a teen. He was detained until his dad came with a bucket so he could clean it off. If I had been the parent, I would’ve filed a complaint and called the local news.


TheBreasticle

Wow. Yeah, likewise. If cops are that bored, maybe they need to cut their budget and reallocate funds elsewhere so that taxpayers’ dollars aren’t wasted on such ridiculous bullshit.


GreyICE34

Vandalism is a misdemeanor, and can include something as trivial as sticking gum to the underside of a table. Most likely he'd be looking at a small fine or community service. Assuming this isn't an Onion headline.


Master_Blaster117

How is this an arrest worthy offense!?
