    - At Toys R Us I sure did. I played with everything and that was when I was 16. :-) - Krusty Aug 8, 12:15 12
      - I'm blown away by how possibly destroying the products that haven't been paid for as well as the rack holding them is how kids have fun nowadays. -- nm - Jim Aug 8, 12:17 11
        
        Man, Krusty needs to get off Jim's lawn. - TWuG Aug 8, 12:24 3
        
        It's a lack of taking responsibility for own actions, and the tendency to blame others. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 8, 12:54
        
        yep. there are so many other fun things for kids to do that don't involve making other people's lives harder and/or messing around with things others - b. Aug 8, 12:44
        
        Heh. nm - Jim Aug 8, 12:27

        Having worked retail, you two are the type of customer I'd gladly through into the trash compactor. :-) -- nm - TWuG Aug 8, 12:59 1
        
        "throw". even "throw through" Either way, it'd look like an accident. :-) -- nm - TWuG Aug 8, 13:04
        
        obnoxious kids are obnoxious -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 12:31
        
        Remember the 'milk gallon smashing' thing from this spring? Now that was craziness. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Aug 8, 12:21 1
        
        Good lord...I never would have thought to do this shit when I was a kid. nm - Jim Aug 8, 12:23
- yeah, it's a good thing I don't work at Wally World anymore ... this one'd piss me off to the point of conniption fit ... - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 8, 11:59
- I'd beat my kids if they did something stupid like this. - JaxSean Aug 8, 11:57 2
  - Damn right. -- nm - Jim Aug 8, 12:11

    - I'll take this over Bash Mobs any day. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 8, 12:22 3
      - I don't even know what that is. I'll take this over...I don't know...strangling babies...but that doesn't make it ok. -- nm - Jim Aug 8, 12:38 2
        
        Rank of wrongness: 1. Strangling babies. 2. Ball Pit Jumping. 3. Milk Jug Bashing. 4. Planking. 5. Ke$ha 6.... -- nm - Jim's List of Wrong Aug 8, 12:54 1
        
        Ke$ha is actually higher than strangling babies. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 8, 12:56
  - Yeah, better than Owling, at least. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:59
  - Yup. Just kids having some fun and the mess is easily picked up. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:54 7
    - Easily picked up *by someone else*. - kelly Aug 8, 12:12 3
      - Uh, half the fun was putting the balls back in. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:17 1
        
        Heh. :-) Yup. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 12:24
      - And what happens when an elderly lady stumbles over one and your store gets sued for her broken hip... -- nm - Jim Aug 8, 12:12
    - Until a kid dies by getting impaled by one of the wire cages. Or strangled by the bungie. - JaxSean Aug 8, 11:58 2
      - Accidents can happen anytime. They're just having some fun and the odds of them getting impaled seems rather slim to me. - Krusty Aug 8, 12:03 1
        
        And better your kid fractures their skull in a busy store than out on a dark street. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 12:19
- wtf? -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 11:43 1
  - Sometimes I miss college. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:50
- (Walmart is best becasue the cage is bungie cords, but yeat, places like Target hurt) -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:43 1
