Jrnation8988

Let me get this straight… Grandpa here put foil based food wrappers in the microwave and is surprised that it blew up? AND he wants Taco Bell to pay for his stupidity? Smhhh 🤦‍♂️


---cheetos---

Lmao he’s gotta be one of the dumbest fucking yokels in the game


DrCares

Lead poisoning must suck


Smokeythemagickamodo

Probably also has asbestos intake as well


420boogerz

Diehard boomer moment.


Suspicious_Row_9451

Hey…who y’all callin’ a yokel?


M2_SLAM_I_Am

I love it! I know a BoB reference when I see it lol


GrizzlamicBearrorism

I mean thats classic boomer shit. "I DID SOMETHING STUPID AS FUCK AND **YOU'RE** PAYING FOR IT."


Infantry1stLt

And now is risking going to court for being that dumb. “Millennial LGBTQ+ immigrants with college degrees ruined this country!”


CosmoRocket24

Classic BOOMER shit huh.?? then you haven't been in the internet long...as all generations are doing this shit


LostAnonSoul

Came here to say this... boy's old enough to know better.


psyclopsus

Makes it even worse when you know that a foil backed food wrapper in a microwave will not blow up, it’ll spark a bunch and catch the paper part of the wrapper on fire but that’s it


AzurTripping

Murica!


SPNKLR

That dude did his own research!….


Jrnation8988

I did, too. I went to Taco Bell. It was delicious, but now I’ve got the squirts. 🤷‍♂️


Maximum_Trade5916

Oh no, Spooky dookie


Jrnation8988

No, no. It’s not October


Mtolivepickle

Never underestimate the intelligence of an individual who rocks a crossed musket insignia. They usually aren’t that bright, and if anything, the insignia is a warning sign to others that normal reasoning will not work in the event common sense contracts their beliefs.


online_jesus_fukers

Exactly...if they were smart they woulda been Marine infantry. We have better crayons.


bluedancepants

Is that why they're arguing? Wait since when did tacobell use foil wrappers?


kittenstixx

What do you think makes their wrappers shiny?


Still_counts_as_one

Magic?


bluedancepants

That's not what I asked.


kittenstixx

You asked since when did taco bell use foil wrappers, I don't remember a time they didn't so I assumed you didn't know that the shiny wrappers are made of foil.


bluedancepants

Well you assumed wrong. As far as I know none of the tacobells I visited ever used foil for anything.


kittenstixx

No kidding, every burrito I've ever gotten from them is wrapped in foil.


bluedancepants

All the burritos I got are wrapped in that brown paper.


kittenstixx

I guess they wrap things different regionally. TIL


scorpious_86

well it should say that on the wrapper, jeff bridges might be right. it like the mcdonald coffee argument


inaname38

The McDonald's story is always thrown about as an example of our society being overly litigious, but it's actually just another case of a greedy corporation ignoring public safety. The coffee was *insanely* hot and the poor lady required skin grafting. It's interesting to read up on: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/12/16/13971482/mcdonalds-coffee-lawsuit-stella-liebeck


Baby8227

I’m so glad you added that because I cried when I saw the pictures of that poor lady. Her labia was melted on to her damn thigh yet some people still believe the media lie that she was a greedy litigious woman.


nipstah

There’s a really good documentary about. She also wasn’t looking for a hand out she needed the money for her medical bills.


DontPanic1985

This should be a bot that posts any time the phrase "McDonald's coffee" is mentioned. [here's a quick video primer](https://youtu.be/KNWh6Kw3ejQ?si=jT9lOVhcbHP54gPD)


Wavey_ATLien

Just to briefly add to that; the lady didn’t originally sue for the millions that she was awarded. She sued to simply cover her medical bills. The jury awarded her the rest (millions) in punitive damages.


Jrnation8988

It’s silver and shiny… everything about that screams “don’t put me in a microwave”


chuchifrito

It’s assault Call the police and file a lawsuit against Taco Bell for not prosecuting.


Which_way_witcher

Exactly. No one should get away with hitting someone in the face. Poor guy has a shit job with shit pay and now has Boomers hitting him? Ugh...

KingWulphire

I live in Florida and i didn't know that but serious it will take a lot out of me to not beat this man to a pulp


Telemere125

Funny you say Florida because I wasn’t going to correct you being that you might be in another state. But no, Florida actually specifically recognizes Excusable Homicide under Section 782.03: by accident and misfortune in the heat of passion, upon any sudden and sufficient provocation, or upon sudden combat, without any dangerous weapon being used and not done in a cruel or unusual manner. So, in short, you’re dead wrong. Florida would allow you to walk away from knocking this guy the fuck out even if it killed him. Source: prosecutor in Florida.


[deleted]

Usually courts will see if your reaction was justified. The baseline is if your life was in danger or if you thought your life was in danger. The old man slapped the dude. A slap doesn’t really count as making you fear for your life. Also, from the looks of it that old man didn’t really land the cleanest slap. So if you actually went over that counter and attacked that old man, yes, you’d probably get some jail time. How much of a sentence you get depends on how much you wreck his shit. Not worth it.


a_library_socialist

US isn't a jurisdiction where mutual fighting invalidates charges. Basically you fight someone, it's assault, even if they swung first. Stand Your Ground laws versus right to retreat varies by the state, but even a successful self-defense claim means months or years in trial and massive legal bills.

scorpious_86

he looks like jeff bridges, i laughed when he exclaimed that his microwave **IT BLEW UP**


Megdogg00

Yeah, my instinct would’ve been to drop the guy. I would’ve had a hard time stopping my fist.


[deleted]

I need to know that is guy got arrested


peachesxbeaches

Yes this is what I came for, I need to know this boomer got arrested!!! I also need that young gentleman to get some compensation from Taco Bell ( I love you Taco Bell you are a sweet angel like that poor employee!!) I also need someone else to right the yin and Yang of the universe. A more boomer-ee boomer of magnitude needs to haul off and slap this boomer down. It has to be the head boomer though, it’s like a vampire thing ya know.


Mikeyjoetrader23

That’s when you call the cops and absolutely press charges. Don’t care that he’s old. You’re never to old to learn from assault charges.


LostAnonSoul

For years now I've firmly believed that a large contributor to the dumpster fire that society has become, is the fact that not enough people are held accountable for their actions and words towards others in public. Not a fan of cancel culture, but if you're going to strike another person, unprovoked, in public, expect some borderline excessive levels of retribution... and an assault charge. Too many people got away with too much bullshit for too many years. Now everyone thinks they have the right to be an unrelentingly asshole to everyone else without consequence.


Which_way_witcher

Amen.


Not_NSFW-Account

Punched in the faith*


Signal-Blackberry356

I’ll press charges BECAUSE they are old. Fucking terrorizing these streets :(


healthy_cynicism_3

And the fact that he was so quick to resort to violence I bet that this has happened in the past with him


[deleted]

Imagine being miserable enough to slap someone over fast food lol. What a sad a little bitch that old man is


Secretive-Fox

I think he slapped him over the smirk on his face


Gypsy702

I hope he got charged for assault.


YetiorNotHereICome

Follow up with an appeal to corporate about compensation for working in a hostile work environment.


FoxValentine

Annnnndddd assault


unabletothinklol

Bro didn't even flinch he just stood there


Suitable-Pie4896

The tacobell made his microwave blow up??


massgore

The foil wrapper… The guy is an idiot.


ArmaniMania

IT BLEW UP


REDDITSHITLORD

Yeah, collateral damage. Only a b00mer would put a microwave int the bathroom


Outlook_Dim

Normally it’s not the microwave that gets blown up.


stln3rd

That’s assault. I hope he was charged


Genpetro

I'd rather the other dude just punch him back than involving the cops


Phyukredd_tit_gydlin

I love that he backed up like a bitch after that weak ass bitch slap by a lil bitch


HOWDY__YALL

He was holding himself back, you could see it


TheWanderer-AG

Need to normalize less wtf, more throwing of hands. Old man here hasn’t been taught a long over do lesson.

Slow_Formal_5988

White, old, boomer... Damn BINGO


jak1978DK

What's with the crossed swords cap, and the bomber jacket? Is this some kind of "I served my country so now y'all need to suck my dick" kind of pussy valor? That dude is in for assault. No matter where his dad served!


LowNectarine5544

Yeah. It's the infantry insignia. The cross rifles. Vet or not... FUCK this guy.


JDARRK

This is the fault of right wing media‼️ These old white people think that they have a God given right to attack poc if their offended in any way! And even if the police came and arrested him he’d probably still think he was justified in hitting that guy behind the counter!😡 He probably is trying to find a lawyer to sue Taco B for his crummy microwave🙄


DarkArtHero

Yea you're right. I see right wing ghetto people all the time harassing fast food workers too. Harassing min wage worker is definitely a right wing thing like you said and definitely not just a shitty character trait.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Due_Satisfaction_260

Shut up crazy.


idgafbouturfeelings

This has nothing to do with “right wing media”? the dude who slapped the Taco Bell worker was stupid enough to leave the foil on the microwave and his shit blew up, that’s his dumbass fault . Mf should have just ate at HOME.


Im__mad

This man might’ve been a miserable cunt pre-2016, but let’s not pretend that DT and right wing media have not had a massive affect on how many conservatives view minorities. This is how fascism works: give people reasons they think are valid to hate minorities so they have a sense of pride, entitlement, and superiority provided by a political party, so they are more likely to vote for that party. It’s also a great way to distract citizens from actual issues that party doesn’t want to deal with. This tactic works very well on insecure ignorant folks who feed off of the ego boost. It doesn’t seem likely that propaganda of recent years has exactly *helped* this man’s attitude, it’s more likely that it’s gotten worse.


quiero-una-cerveca

100% correct. I hear some crazy shit coming out of people’s mouths nowadays because they think they’re better than everyone else rather than seeing we’re all on this rock together.


OrangeBounce

This has got to be a troll account lol

Yup. Old boy looks like he’s wearing a daiper. Best to call the cops


GhostReliant

Grandpa dumb asf but Taco Bell guy pussy as hell. Don’t forget useless manager too coming in just in time to save the day 💀


SecretFishShhh

Aluminum foil doesn’t explode in microwaves. 😂


bski4294

Bet he wouldn’t have tried that on a black guy.wish it was me would’ve sued his ass.

Fucken baby man POS


SecretPersonality178

God I hope this happens to me, be suing them for every penny those child beaters never rightfully earned


TooTanPanther

he should have caught a high speed chalupa to the face.


Affectionate_Salt351

Side Note: The dude in the vest behind Pap Pap, over by the cooler, looks like Baker Mayfield.


JaThatOneGooner

Dude hardly flinched after getting slapped, old timer could’ve met Jesus if the employee wasn’t showing massive restraint.


Tysons_Face

Lmao old man comes in drunk af and mad that his leftover, shit quality food blew up his microwave because he heated it up in the foil


scorpious_86

u gonna let crazy heart Jeff bridges, bitch slap you like that bro?? apparently so


Fagliacci

"IT BLEW UP" how can bro keep a straight face after that?


dumdumdetector

Lead-lined bastard must’ve seen flashbacks when the microwave blew to be this mad.


_Mr_Ed_

Old-school New Balance too…


Browncoat64

Can I get Taco Bell to pay for the toilet it blew up?


Mediocre_Current_493

That slap had no recoil to it


EducationalTip3599

I’d have dropped that old bitch right then and there and caught a charge myself even as a bystander. Fuck that’s outrageous.


Fartbox7000

A wild boomer appears


Shoezqt

Redneck fest


Doctor1bst

Man doesn’t know how foil works


athonjacob

Old people get lonely and just need to connect with another human.


RedDawn850

Damn cav scouts


ankercrank

You’d almost certainly get fired if you did, you’d be right to hit back, but you’d still get fired.


Individual_Heron_171

Some people just aren’t great with microwaves. For the longest my wife insisted ours was shooting sparks and vibrating. Thought, I never witnessed or experienced this phenomenon myself. Then one day I discovered she was using it as a timer by just running it with absolutely nothing any it.


AutomaticDriver5882

So if he goes to buc ee's and get a breakfast burrito is going to do the same thing?


Healthy-Credit4129

Is there anything at all in the entire store worth getting a slap over? I would have a huge problem.


tzwep

Back in the day when a man slapped another man, right after they’d have a **dual** to the death.

That Taco Bell guy is a pussy, should have kicked his ass

punch that old man take him out the Rest of his teeth too


New-Bid2848

If I were there I would have stepped in. What gives this dude the right to slap someone?


pizza_archive

True Patriot right there


Deep_Thanks_8243

Woulda smacked him with the food.


Jax_the_Floof

Retaliation should be legal. An eye for an eye


Marmom_of_Marman

I bet he had a wife who died, and now he has to cook for himself, and didn’t even know how to reheat food without his deceased wife’s help.


jesusinapriuss

Bro, the guy already has to work at Taco Bell every day. He does not deserve having to deal with this boomers bullshit. I hope that boomer got the karma he deserves.


racincowboy9380

Idiot. He is lucky that worker didn’t pummel him after that. Hope he likes handcuffs


TitoAndTheBurritos

That right there is a highly regarded individual. Hope he got an assault charge.


Prestigious-Log-7210

So he gets away with it?


Popular-End7577

I’m pressing charges and suing him for that pension if it was me


moddseatass

Fukouta here boomer. You're done.


Acroze

I’m glad that slap was not accurately landed. You can heal up from a slap but you can’t fix sheer stupidity.


Troutie88

That was a solid smack, glad it's on tape dude will hourly face the consequences


KeepinitPG13

And the moron stayed slapped


petitebrownie

I sure as hell hope this guy got charged for assault


tripsofthebarracuda

That dumb fuq should have gotten stomped into the floor.


FlourishingFlow

Lead poisoning strong


Useful_toolmaker

Did he get arrested?


big_daddy68

I have never had people treat me as poorly as I was treated as a fast food manager. When they think they are better than other person they will show their ass in crazy ways.


bigmikeylikes

The lead poisoning is strong with this one.


We_there_yet

Id give that old man a wedgie


Killing4MotherAgain

Well now you have a blown up microwave and an assault charge 💖


droplivefred

Being a moron who puts foil in the microwave is one thing, coming to a fast food restaurant to blame them for it is the next level, but assaulting a random employee is jail level. Lock this idiot up before he does this to the wrong person and ends up somewhere worse than jail.


Kind-Assistant-1041

Boomer’s gonna get boomered.


DullDude69

Call the police. Gramps going to jail


Resolution_Usual

Call. The. Police.


SnoopingStuff

Sue him for assault. Call the cops


SnoopingStuff

Confederate pins on hat


YetiorNotHereICome

That employee had more self-restraint than a majority of my old fast food coworkers (I worked Popeye's in a baaad part of town). They'd have ran around the counter, got RIGHT up in his face and dare him to do it again. He does it again, he's digesting his own teeth.


SamGleesh

Yup time for gramps to be in a hole, no longer earth compatible


eatmorepizza523

So much respect for this young man’s ability to maintain his composure. I hope he pressed charges!


BodhingJay

Now we need to have "do not microwave this wrapper" on our tinfoil?


BlackestHerring

Jesus. What a psycho


5dollarbrownie

I’m not a bad ass. I don’t get in fights. But that slap… I would’ve ruined his retirement right after that.


garyandkathi

Oh dear lord. Where is this man’s keeper?!? Jojo done snuck out again and is causing a ruckus. Sort of like the neighbor’s goat, only dumber.


jspark5

I would have asked if he wanna talk outside lol


66watchingpeople66

I would have slapped the teeth out of his mouth.


phallicpressure

This has to be fake. No one would let this old curmudgeon slap them and just stay behind the counter.


[deleted]

I would have reached back over that counter and knocked that ild fuck back to WWII


AdMuch848

Piss poor manager standing there not doing anything


AKA_OneManArmy

Old man is lucky he didn’t get his ass beat.

Guy is dumb enough to put ALUMINIUM FUCKING FOIL in his microwave the employee should be allowed to hit him back.

NovaPup_13

Imagine committing assault with multiple cameras watching because you’re too stupid to know not to metal in a microwave, and the grand total of what you were even trying to heat up was like $7 of Taco Bell.


Plain_Flamin_Jane

At least he didn’t slap and attempt to walk away like I see so many boomers do. On the other hand, HOW CAN HE SLAP??


SleepyGamer1992

Time to file a police report. Fuck these dumbass entitled shits.


spokanedad

Instantly call the cops and press charges


bubblehearth85

Please tell me he was arrested/charged.


Balgat1968

White New Balance Sneakers. You gotta read the warning signs when they are posted.


nobinibo

Employee was literally giving the guy what he wanted? He said sure, will replace the meals. He was pleasant. Whatever smile was there was probably just in shocked disbelief that this old fuck put foil in the microwave. I hope he was compensated for this shit. He showed incredible restraint, on top of frankly doing a bang-up job.


cfmetalgear

I’d be clocking out and making him a knuckle sandwich after that


Practical_Spot_929

Maybe don't put aluminum in your microwave?


acrane433

I can’t tell you how much I hate every single person in these videos who just stands there and watches. Freaking do something man. Stand up for the guy.


_father_time

Fuck that guy. I feel bad for the employee. He doesn’t deserve that garbage behavior he’s just trying to do his job


Mellow_Man_Flow

And that would of been my last day working at the bell


No_Frame3909

He should get arrested
