Epic Fail: Worst Robbery Ever

It's every shop owner's worst nightmare.  A customer comes in and approaches the counter.  He is dressed a little strange, but that is normal for the regular crowd around this place.  Then he hands you a list of items and tells you he has a bomb strapped to him.  If he doesn't leave the store right now with the items, he'll explode.

Only thing is, this was a comic book store.  The list was valued at between $500 and $1,000 dollars and consisted primarily of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.  The bomb was an obviously fake getup.  The store owner had an understandable concern about a young fellow who was nuts enough to walk in, shoot their attempt in the foot by saying upfront they were being forced to steal for fear of being blown up by their uncle, reveal a "bomb" while dressed in a strange wig and acting jittery as hell.  Common sense and this 17-year-old have failed to meet in his short and interesting life.

The next time you're telling a story at the water cooler and you say, "surely nobody is that dumb" just think of this story and realize you're wrong. Enjoy!
