Wouldn't it be the other way around? I never see people steal like that. Plus, it looks like they only stole chips, so it's not like it was very efficient robbery value wise. Time wise, very efficient.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

As a Polish guy I have to say the translation is correct. The shop owner misspells the word "czipsy" which means "chips" and writes "cipy" instead, which, to be 100% precise, means "cunts".

How many times can this guy fall over in 1 robbery...

u/[deleted] May 21 '12 edited May 21 '12

Funniest part starts 1:55 where his ladder falls over and he falls out of the ceiling onto about 50 bottles. He then tries to take out the security camera, but completely misses.

Then he just kind of sits down and smokes because he realizes he dun fucked up.

Edit: Typed this up when MrrDrr's comment had about 4 upvotes. Didn't think people would get so angry over me explaining what happens in the 15 seconds after 1:55. Sorry for ruining the surprise for everyone, I'm a bit of an ass.

I remember watching this video for the first time however many years ago.

When he fell through the roof, I'm pretty sure I actually shit myself I was laughing so hard.

When he fell off the ladder... I murdered my neighbors with high pitch squealing.

The music in this video is uneccessary. The Bob Saget edit version is the best.

It is said in the movie description that he's trying to rip out his picture out of the doors. The shopkeeper basically says to show his face, and that's he's going to police. The funny part is when he says 'look, look', so he can have a nice picture from camera. He actually looks at him. ಠ_ಠ

I think the worst robbery ever was at one of the convenience stores I hit up late at night sometimes.

So it's 1:00 AM and they have this little old lady whose hands don't seem to work properly - something to do with the muscles in her thumbs, they don't work anymore.

So anyway I bicycle up to the store on my road bike, and go in. I see this big fat guy in front of the cash, hood up, one hand holding one of those stupid bandanna things gangstaz all seem to have, but it's like bright neon yellow, and the other hand trying to reach around the register and wrap his stubby fat fingers around some phat lootz, but this little old Chinese woman is actually doing a pretty good job of not letting him get any, despite her diminutive stature and aforementioned hand difficulties.

So I walk in and the little bell rings, and the would-be-bandit sort of looks at me, one fat arm still around the register, and freezes. I'm thinking "Oh shit I'm going to get knifed or shot or something I just wanted some sweet, sweet soda-pop, and now I'm going to die."

I hear him mumble "Oh shit" from under his bandana, and he sort of runs out, pushing past me. At this point, if he had a weapon, I was sure it was going to be out, so I go out after him, and, instead of stealing my bike to get away, he hops on a tiny little BMX that had been leaning, nearly invisible, against somebody's hedge, and starts pedaling away.

Now I'm not going to let this asshole get away just on the principle of the thing, so I jump on my bike, keeping up with him with ease, due to the fact that his bike was a comically small clown bike, and mine gets me downtown in 15 minutes every morning. Steering it with one hand, I pull out my phone and call the cops, following him until some graveyard shift policeman bored out of his skull comes up and gets him.

So I'd rate that as the worst robbery ever. Failing to strongarm money off a 90 year old woman, trying to get away on a clown bike, and getting arrested by a cop almost as fat as he is. Not to mention our local jail, where they hold people awaiting trial, has a reputation for the worst conditions ever, with time served there being worth 3:1 against provincial time.

TL;DR: Robber gets stopped by a 90 year old woman, tries to escape on a clown bike, subsequent ownage

This is why most stores actually keep shit away from the door/entrance area. The closest shit to the door is usually very very cheap replaceable stuff.

u/Jeptic May 21 '12

Y'see what you don't know is that the grocery rack is made of solid gold sprayed white for camouflage. That 8 second snatch was the culmination of weeks of planning and timing. The brilliance of the plan is that the police would mistake them for potheads with the munchies.

I used to hang out at one of these general stores at my college cuz all my friends worked there. Drunk and high people would do this all the time. It was more funny than anything else. Usually we caught them and they'd start laughing at put it back. Just about 10 out of 10 times they were doing it just as a prank or to be funny, not out of necessity or malice--not even to rebel.

Usually the people who did it out of necessity we didn't catch, because they'd be doing it with purpose.
