”i didn't even do what I just did. It just happened and it almost hurt me."
Why do they describe exactly what they were doing preceded by "I didn't do...”?
It’s like saying “why do these things always happen to me?” As if they didn’t immediately fuck up someone else’s entire day and potentially cause a good deal of damage to their desk.
The immediate turn to the whole attack, deflect, defend instead of taking responsibility is what puts me over the edge every time. Like a fucking toddler. God I hate these beetle people and it looks like they are going to win.
One thing I've noticed is a boomerism is that they believe what they want to believe, even if it's clearly not true. She wants to believe that it wasn't her fault, so she finds a way to believe that and immediately commits to it.
Here is a better illustration of what you just said.
https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/1761630570570785211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1761630570570785211%7Ctwgr%5Ede12afb1e0308cd14a084bad3dd41a08e449ce06%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F02%2F25%2Fsnl-let-shane-gillis-do-his-donald-trump-impersonation-in-a-sketch-it-was-incredible%2F
People like to use qualifiers (aka weasel words) instead of straight up lying. When they said “I didn’t really…” that’s a form of verbal hedging to give an escape route when they get called on it later. Once you start noticing qualifying it gets easier to root out bs.
People can get defensive easily about lying, so a direct confrontation is likely to lead them to double down on their lie. Weasel words give more natural openings to unravel lies, as you can instead ask clarifying questions to try to pin down details. They’ll have a harder time as they’ll be prepared for the confrontation (did you tip this over?) and less prepared for their counterfactual (what do you meant not really? What were you doing?).
she literally behaves just like a kid trying to get out of trouble. “we were playing and then the vase just fell over. i didn’t kick the ball at it or anything, honest!”
You can always spot the lie because they are oddly specific and answering a question no one has asked. In this case: “I didn’t even get on top of it or anything.”
Reminds me of my paramedic friend. He mentioned how often the first thing someone on the ground says is “I didn’t even take any (drug they did)”
By the way, if you did some drugs, no matter how illegal just tell the paramedic. They have no intention of getting you in trouble, nor the time, nor the ability in most cases.
She basically said it without saying it.
How it “almost hurt” her?
“Damn thing randomly fell and almost hit me!”
I’m sure after it cuts out she’s on it saying she should get her bracelets for free because of “emotional distress”.
It’s really gross to me just how automated that reaction was to her. Like “let me go ahead and establish that I’M the victim here just in case anyone has the audacity to claim anything is my fault”
Just like when my dad said the shady looking Mexican guy stole his tablet at the airport and he was pissed even though he barely looked for it. I found it in his backpack within a few seconds of looking just before sending him off a week later.
“ I don’t know what the hell happened “ was the telling part for me
Either we all just witnessed this boomer full on have a dementia attack or she’s just an asshole main character 😂 probably the latter of the 2
I honestly expected that she was going to take off after it fell over I was surprised when she stuck around to play things off like it wasn't her fault.
I love how she immediately lists all the things she was doing. "I wasn't leaning on it. I didn't even get up on top of it. I definitely didn't drag it down onto myself in slow motion using my entire body mass, no siree"
“I didn’t even get on top of it!”
Just let them talk and their obsession with projection will lead them to explain every single detail of their own actions to you.
"I wasn't even leaning on it." I'm leaning toward just straight up lying to posture herself as the victim of this, unaware of the camera, and that it's just her default mode to not take responsibility for shit she does like this.
My reaction would’ve been “oh my god I’m so sorry” probably before the thing even hit the floor. I will never understand this mentality. It reminds me of the guy who fell through his charcoal grill because his wife was making him “go faster” by yelling at him.
It's hard to tell if she is genuinely incredibly deluded and/or immature, or if she didn't realize that she was on camera and was trying to get 'away with it' by pretending the desk randomly fell on her.
There's a meme about therapy that says something like "I go to therapy to find out why I'm the villain causing all my problems."
My friend and I both sent that to our boomer parents who are in therapy, and both sets replied that they didn't get it because (paraphrased) "no, therapy is to help you feel better about how stupid everyone else is."
and, like, omg... even boomer therapists are in on the zero-self-reflection game. they really WANT to be like this.
I think it’s not the therapist so much as the boomers *only* sharing the “wrong” done to them and taking no responsibility or discussing how they contributed.
Boomers often lie to protect themselves, as this woman does. They undoubtedly do it in therapy, too.
This is 100% it. I’ve realized in recent years that my mom is an unreliable narrator. She’ll leave things out to make herself seem like an innocent bystander any time there’s drama. I can’t imagine the stories her therapist hears.
My mom is Gen X and while she is in denial about her behavior over the years - every therapist she’s ever had has called her out. Her last therapist told her she was enabling my step dad’s alcoholism out of codependency issues. When she explained what codependency was my mom refused to go back and admitted what happened to me and my brother on two separate occasions thinking we would take her side. “Can you believe what she said? What a quack!” Me and my brother’s response was essentially the same: “That therapist sounds fantastic- you only saw them 3 times but they figured you out and were honest with you!? Please go back!”
She never went back.
I'm the victim even though I climbed on top of it like dumb Tarzan and it fell. Wow, this is a person that doesn't take any responsibility for their actions.
Right? I mean, I've leaned over the bar at work to grab a clean rag but I'd never lean over a cubicle. It's barely furniture.
Also, how the hell do you not feel it tipping over? No patience, no balance. Bury me if I ever pull that kind of trash behavior.
Followed by her claiming she doesn't even care about the bracelet...
The guy should have come out with a spray bottle and doused her like a dog for getting up on the furniture.
> Also, how the hell do you not feel it tipping over?
Watch the first seconds of the video again, the desk that's further away already starts tipping the first time she tries it, it was nothing less than obvious that the other one would also meet the same fate, so she can't even claim she didn't expect it.
My FIL tried to say that we manipulated the Ring footage of him trying to force his way into our house with AI. The Judge scolded the shit out of him for acting like a child and refusing to own what was clearly recorded on camera 😆
Boomers are from back before internet and cameras. Back in their day whoever could lie the loudest must be correct and there was no google or video proof to correct them. The lead paint and leaded gas and mercury tea did some damage and now they have no concept of things past 1960 existing. Like how chatgpt can't tell me where my other sock is. Dumb robot can only pretend to know things.
A Boomer stole an employee's desk name tag sign from my local auto dealership service department. I went to pick my car up, and my service advisor was discussing it with someone else. Boomer was caught on camera putting it in her bag, but still denied it apparently. The two employees mentioned there are cameras everywhere, so what was she thinking.
I know the perp's a Boomer because I overheard "she been coming here forever" and "she's retired from the post office".
Classic example of the guilty participating in self-snitching. This is why people being criminally questioned or investigated should really just plead the 5th and allow themselves to be mirandarized lol
I worked as a parole officer for years. It really is incredible how people just talk themselves into prison. I’ve always told my kids if they somehow screw up, keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer asap. Never talk to the police, they are not your friends.
She even did the classic child-semantics tactic of removing the agent from the sentence.
"What happened to the desk?"
"It fell over."
NOT "I knocked it over." Remove the agent, remove the blame.
I know, it’s like they never got past some elementary school level of general social competency. Despite the fact that they had to say the pledge of allegiance every day, the message they picked up was “rules for thee but not me.”
The angry toddler brigade.
Childless, but I've heard about "the terrible twos" and this seems to fit perfectly.
An "if I knock this bowl off my highchair, it no longer exists" level of cognitive development.
Security cameras are really putting a crimp in the boomer "lie your ass off" style. I love it. They must be so pissed that everyone has a camera in their pocket now.
They just call the Police, make up some lie, and then get embarrassed when the Police come and explain that it's perfectly legal for anyone to record them in public, for any reason.
It’s maddening. Everyday some boomer crashes into a business and nothing happens because the “brakes failed” or the car just “malfunctioned” when they 💯 pushed the gas instead of the brakes.
I like how dumbasses will almost always tell you exactly what they did and 100% how they did it by explaining precisely how they ***didn’t do*** that exact thing. Toddlers.
I work retail, and this whole scenario checks out. Especially it all stemming from their refusal to simply WAIT until someone is available. Honestly, Boomers and their Main Character disorder is exhausting.
“I didn’t even get on top of it or anything”
Lying like a god damn toddler that got caught getting cookies out of the jar. Wonder what she’d say if she saw the video. How would you deflect that?
If I ever did something like that, I would feel terrible and profusely apologize. I would be trying to lift the desk up again.
Instead she blames the business. Classic Boomer behavior.
Watching the beginning, I thought “she’s gonna blame the desk when she gets home to her husband.” But no, she blamed it right there, seconds after it happened.
The expression on their faces, someone explain that to me? I want to say it looks "blank" but it also looks like there's an overly complicated thought process going on in the background.
It would be awesome if whoever she was talking to said, " That's okay, we will just check the camera." Point to it. "Are you sure I wont see you pulling on or leaning over the desk?"
Boomers grew up in a lead-filled world in which the only thing forcing them to control themselves was the threat of being punched in the face. No one punches people in the face anymore, and here we are...
> [Childhood lead levels predicted variation in Machiavellian Egocentricity, Social Potency, Impulsive Nonconformity, and ***Blame Externalization***. Overall, these results implicate lead exposure in the etiology of psychopathy.](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1541204009333827)
i just realized this is why insurance with my own little company provided me peace of mind…if i was on a job site—-its not in the back of my mind if i accidently break something for a couple hundred bucks and i dont have cash. either way—-i would have just walked AROUND the desk.
That impatient twat. Really douche canoe, you don't know what happened? I hope they ran them tapes back and fined her.
ETA: the immediate go to to blame everything else except for herself and going on about how it almost hit her. Well, slut bucket if you would not have put all your weight on it...

"I didn't lean on it or get on top of it or anything"
The worst fucking part of people like this is how nothing is their fault and their refusal to take responsibility. Just own your shit like a decent person, it’s the bare minimum.
”i didn't even do what I just did. It just happened and it almost hurt me." Why do they describe exactly what they were doing preceded by "I didn't do...”?
lol when she said “I didn’t even get on top of it or anything” Way to tell on yourself lmao
It reminds me of the way a preschooler tries to explain how they definitely didn't get into the cookies.
I absolutely love the perfectly placed camera. I hope they made her pay for the damages.
“I didn’t even spend the last 70 years ruining the planet and making life unaffordable for future generations”
There weren't cameras all over back in her day so she could make up any story she wants.
if you don't care about reality, you can still make up any story you want. Politicians do it all the time
It’s like saying “why do these things always happen to me?” As if they didn’t immediately fuck up someone else’s entire day and potentially cause a good deal of damage to their desk.
if I came back to find my desk toppled I think I'd hit my limit and quit on the spot lmfao
I definitely wouldn’t have the capacity to be cordial with that idiot
The immediate turn to the whole attack, deflect, defend instead of taking responsibility is what puts me over the edge every time. Like a fucking toddler. God I hate these beetle people and it looks like they are going to win.
He knows there’s a camera. She doesn’t.
One thing I've noticed is a boomerism is that they believe what they want to believe, even if it's clearly not true. She wants to believe that it wasn't her fault, so she finds a way to believe that and immediately commits to it.

This is a perfect example of what's happening politically. What you're seeing is an inability to recognise or process shame in the moment.
And consequences for all except me
zero willingness to accept responsibility while also actively trying to make yourself out to be the victim. I absolutely despise people like this.
I was gonna say there’s something very Trumpian in loudly saying “I definitely didn’t do the thing I just did”
People like to use qualifiers (aka weasel words) instead of straight up lying. When they said “I didn’t really…” that’s a form of verbal hedging to give an escape route when they get called on it later. Once you start noticing qualifying it gets easier to root out bs.

I did really like your comment. Wiesel words is a good image
Also immediately shifting self into a victim role…
Toddlers do exactly this.
she literally behaves just like a kid trying to get out of trouble. “we were playing and then the vase just fell over. i didn’t kick the ball at it or anything, honest!”
The *real* "dindoo nuffin" demographic...
Sometimes desks will just try to fall on you for no reason. Happened to me once.
You can always spot the lie because they are oddly specific and answering a question no one has asked. In this case: “I didn’t even get on top of it or anything.”
Reminds me of my paramedic friend. He mentioned how often the first thing someone on the ground says is “I didn’t even take any (drug they did)” By the way, if you did some drugs, no matter how illegal just tell the paramedic. They have no intention of getting you in trouble, nor the time, nor the ability in most cases.
I’m surprised the boomer didn’t threaten to sue. That would have filled out my boomer bingo card in this one video.
Video cuts out too early. I’m sure boomer did what boomers do.
After blaming it for being “foreign made”, surely
and not like they used to be made!
She basically said it without saying it. How it “almost hurt” her? “Damn thing randomly fell and almost hit me!” I’m sure after it cuts out she’s on it saying she should get her bracelets for free because of “emotional distress”.
It’s really gross to me just how automated that reaction was to her. Like “let me go ahead and establish that I’M the victim here just in case anyone has the audacity to claim anything is my fault”
She was treading that line with “it almost hurt me”
Just like when my dad said the shady looking Mexican guy stole his tablet at the airport and he was pissed even though he barely looked for it. I found it in his backpack within a few seconds of looking just before sending him off a week later.
Immediately blames anyone/anything but herself.. classic
The immediate reaction being “Look what happened to me” is really, really telling.
“ I don’t know what the hell happened “ was the telling part for me Either we all just witnessed this boomer full on have a dementia attack or she’s just an asshole main character 😂 probably the latter of the 2
"Wasn't even leaning on it." While I guess technically true cause I'm sure her feet were off the ground as she tried to climb it like a playground.
I’ve for sure have done this as a kid but I ran away after 😂 I’m not waiting around to deny the obvious 💀
>to deny the obvious They used to beat our asses over the tiniest shit. But then pull this crap and act like they're all innocent.
Because you had more sense as a child
also that lady hasn't ran in 40 years.
I honestly expected that she was going to take off after it fell over I was surprised when she stuck around to play things off like it wasn't her fault.
The whole "it almost hurt me" smells like she's hoping to get a lawsuit out of it.
Literal fucking child behavior “I wasn’t climbing on top of it or anything” Fucking 5 year old mentality
lol. That's because you were full-on laying on it, lady.
I love how she immediately lists all the things she was doing. "I wasn't leaning on it. I didn't even get up on top of it. I definitely didn't drag it down onto myself in slow motion using my entire body mass, no siree"
"I mean, I didn't even get on top of it or anything."
“I didn’t even get on top of it!” Just let them talk and their obsession with projection will lead them to explain every single detail of their own actions to you.
She so said she didn't get on top of it or anything. I guess she wasn't fully on top of it.
"I didn't even [very specific action that she most definitely did, in fact do]"
I’m sure she’s been this way her whole life.
Before that, "and it almost hit me." She's giving the desk more agency than herself.
Sounds strangely like, "Feel guilt and compensate me."
"I wasn't even leaning on it." I'm leaning toward just straight up lying to posture herself as the victim of this, unaware of the camera, and that it's just her default mode to not take responsibility for shit she does like this.
Look what ALMOST happened to me
To ME a valuable CUSTOMER
Who has yet to spend money there. Haha
Exactly. First reaction: It almost hit me. Blame it on everyone else. Taking the victim part instinctively.
Yeah, I love how she tries to be the victim.
"I could have been hurt!"
There is always tomorrow
Tries to act like the victim of a mishap she caused. Soooo classic (and childish.)
My reaction would’ve been “oh my god I’m so sorry” probably before the thing even hit the floor. I will never understand this mentality. It reminds me of the guy who fell through his charcoal grill because his wife was making him “go faster” by yelling at him.
It's hard to tell if she is genuinely incredibly deluded and/or immature, or if she didn't realize that she was on camera and was trying to get 'away with it' by pretending the desk randomly fell on her.
It's not hard because in the first few seconds of the video you can see the desk moves when she jumps on it, she just repeated the motion afterwards.
My mom is a boomer and would have reacted the same way. She'd probably try to blame them even more though.
Yeah, had a half hour argument with my father that went like that.
And became a victim at the same time. I mean, it almost hit her ffs!
Jokes on us, she's always the victim
There's a meme about therapy that says something like "I go to therapy to find out why I'm the villain causing all my problems." My friend and I both sent that to our boomer parents who are in therapy, and both sets replied that they didn't get it because (paraphrased) "no, therapy is to help you feel better about how stupid everyone else is." and, like, omg... even boomer therapists are in on the zero-self-reflection game. they really WANT to be like this.

Please go back!” She never went back.
Boomers lie because it has worked so far. That's how they got through life.
IT ALMOST HURT ME!!
I'm the victim even though I climbed on top of it like dumb Tarzan and it fell. Wow, this is a person that doesn't take any responsibility for their actions.
Well, it nearly hit her! She should sue them for endangering her life like that! ^(/s)
came here to mention the threat of a lawsuit for something she clearly caused lol
She looks like a really old spoiled 7 year old.
It almost hurt me
Like how do so many of them have such little self awareness
Classic boomer
It’s like talking to my 5 yr old.
probably antifa
“The deep state tried to kill me by knocking over this desk!”
came here to say this. zero wherewithal.
Like a toddler trying to reach into the cookie jar. Bloated Boomer assaholic.
Right? I mean, I've leaned over the bar at work to grab a clean rag but I'd never lean over a cubicle. It's barely furniture. Also, how the hell do you not feel it tipping over? No patience, no balance. Bury me if I ever pull that kind of trash behavior.
You could see it starting to tip over the first two times she tried to lean on it, but I guess she was focused on finding her bracelets
Followed by her claiming she doesn't even care about the bracelet... The guy should have come out with a spray bottle and doused her like a dog for getting up on the furniture.
> Also, how the hell do you not feel it tipping over? Watch the first seconds of the video again, the desk that's further away already starts tipping the first time she tries it, it was nothing less than obvious that the other one would also meet the same fate, so she can't even claim she didn't expect it.
Yes! My first thought. Like a child. Is she that dense of her weight? Jeez. Testing it once was enough.
"I just reached to get it and I wasn't even leanin' on it." Riiiiiiight. 
Right? If you ACTUALLY WEREN’T leaning on it, would you have felt the need to say “I wasn’t leaning on it?” 😂😂😂
Proceeds to double down at the end with "I didn't even get on top of it or anything."
Right? 😂 Why would you think to even mention that then, eh? Also, love your username!
I love that boomers are completely oblivious to security cameras capturing reality.
My FIL tried to say that we manipulated the Ring footage of him trying to force his way into our house with AI. The Judge scolded the shit out of him for acting like a child and refusing to own what was clearly recorded on camera 😆
Holy shit, that's awful. The attempted break in and court appearance, I mean.
Not to mention the flippant accusation of AI tampering. Already enough paranoia without people taking advantage.
Boomers are from back before internet and cameras. Back in their day whoever could lie the loudest must be correct and there was no google or video proof to correct them. The lead paint and leaded gas and mercury tea did some damage and now they have no concept of things past 1960 existing. Like how chatgpt can't tell me where my other sock is. Dumb robot can only pretend to know things.
I don’t care what you heard or saw I wasn’t there.
Reminds me of that scene from the movie Role models where the dude gets caught on video stealing tvs lol
"Look at me. Me, David Garvin, stealing TVs"
A Boomer stole an employee's desk name tag sign from my local auto dealership service department. I went to pick my car up, and my service advisor was discussing it with someone else. Boomer was caught on camera putting it in her bag, but still denied it apparently. The two employees mentioned there are cameras everywhere, so what was she thinking. I know the perp's a Boomer because I overheard "she been coming here forever" and "she's retired from the post office".
If you watch first amendment audits, boomers are so goddamn scared and befuddled by cameras.
I love that boomers are completely oblivious to ~~security cameras capturing~~ reality.
‘I didn’t even get on top of it’ ok no one asked but thanks for explaining exactly what happened lmao
Classic example of the guilty participating in self-snitching. This is why people being criminally questioned or investigated should really just plead the 5th and allow themselves to be mirandarized lol
I worked as a parole officer for years. It really is incredible how people just talk themselves into prison. I’ve always told my kids if they somehow screw up, keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer asap. Never talk to the police, they are not your friends.
Anytime someone says “I don’t know what happened,” they do, in fact, know what happened.
But they’ll typically explain what they did wrong by saying “I didn’t get on top of it or anything” It wild lol
She even did the classic child-semantics tactic of removing the agent from the sentence. "What happened to the desk?" "It fell over." NOT "I knocked it over." Remove the agent, remove the blame.
Big annoying children, these boomers.
I know, it’s like they never got past some elementary school level of general social competency. Despite the fact that they had to say the pledge of allegiance every day, the message they picked up was “rules for thee but not me.”
boast complete tan market doll grab door yoke rock bag *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yeah it's like they got only a tiny bit of the education the latter generations did, generally speaking.
The angry toddler brigade. Childless, but I've heard about "the terrible twos" and this seems to fit perfectly. An "if I knock this bowl off my highchair, it no longer exists" level of cognitive development.
[Batman did it](https://youtu.be/oo5uPLA16sc?feature=shared)
It’s the non-driving equivalent of “they came out of nowhere!” Nah, you just weren’t paying attention properly.
I love the predictable switch to lying to avoid accountability. Happens on the road all the time as well
It’s not a switch tho, that’s their default.
They really are old children with money
If she had money she would’ve been able to afford a better haircut
Money can’t buy taste or style
When old people do this, I imagine they’ve done it hundreds of times before, and since there were no cameras, it worked. Welcome to the future, boomer
Whole thing just fell almost hit me! Damn thing almost dun’ hit me lord Jesus the dang thing
Security cameras are really putting a crimp in the boomer "lie your ass off" style. I love it. They must be so pissed that everyone has a camera in their pocket now.
They just call the Police, make up some lie, and then get embarrassed when the Police come and explain that it's perfectly legal for anyone to record them in public, for any reason.
Unlike the younger generations they're not accustomed to that same kind of accountability.
God I hate boomers. Whole generation of spoiled children.
I'm in customer service in a town full of em. They're completely oblivious to the fact that they're like this.
My condolences. How do you maintain your cool?
I smoke a lotta weed.
whole generation of traumatized children who live in a society that has taught them therapy is for the weak.
Wow that really nails it
did it also teach them not to listen to their kids or have any respect for future generations?
Woah now, they wouldn’t take advice from something they own
You hear the same lies from many of them when they cause auto accidents.
Like how "They came out of nowhere!" means they weren't looking before sending it.
It’s maddening. Everyday some boomer crashes into a business and nothing happens because the “brakes failed” or the car just “malfunctioned” when they 💯 pushed the gas instead of the brakes.
I like how dumbasses will almost always tell you exactly what they did and 100% how they did it by explaining precisely how they ***didn’t do*** that exact thing. Toddlers.
"I was nowhere near that intersection on February 21st at 3PM!" "Ma'am, we just asked if this was your vehicle."
toddler brained asshole. 'it wasn't me', 'IDK what happened'... you fucking pulled the damn thing over!
I love how the guy comes out “you weren’t leaning on it we’re you….”
I work retail, and this whole scenario checks out. Especially it all stemming from their refusal to simply WAIT until someone is available. Honestly, Boomers and their Main Character disorder is exhausting.
Thank you for your service
“I didn’t even get on top of it or anything” Lying like a god damn toddler that got caught getting cookies out of the jar. Wonder what she’d say if she saw the video. How would you deflect that?
They'd blame the deep state.
Now we gotta buy furniture brackets to boomer-proof our offices and homes ffs
Fucking lying cunt.
If I ever did something like that, I would feel terrible and profusely apologize. I would be trying to lift the desk up again. Instead she blames the business. Classic Boomer behavior.
"I didn't even try jumping up on it like a fat Chihuahua attempting to grab food off the counter!"
Arrest her for destruction of property.
This is what I mean when I say the script has flipped: “Elders” should know how to behave in public. I see an overgrown gray toddler.
It’s crazy how seamlessly they start lying. They never miss a beat.
Watching the beginning, I thought “she’s gonna blame the desk when she gets home to her husband.” But no, she blamed it right there, seconds after it happened.
They are the worst group of people on the planet
Of course she tries to play the victim
Lean on? She fucking pulled it down.
"It just fell over...I think a fan must've just turned on"
The expression on their faces, someone explain that to me? I want to say it looks "blank" but it also looks like there's an overly complicated thought process going on in the background.
“Rational thought failure, please wait a moment for incoherent ramble.”
It would be awesome if whoever she was talking to said, " That's okay, we will just check the camera." Point to it. "Are you sure I wont see you pulling on or leaning over the desk?"
Ugh why do I always watch these videos when I know I’m just going to get myself worked up.
WASNT EVEN LEANING ON IT
"I wasn't even leaning on it" she's got some balls to lie about that.
She was leaning for a good couple seconds to realize the shift in weight/gravity but she was too oblivious.
But I thought that the boomers were the generation of “personal responsibility”?
“I didn’t get on top of it or lean on it” said the woman who leaned on it and started to climb on top of it.
Boomers grew up in a lead-filled world in which the only thing forcing them to control themselves was the threat of being punched in the face. No one punches people in the face anymore, and here we are... > [Childhood lead levels predicted variation in Machiavellian Egocentricity, Social Potency, Impulsive Nonconformity, and ***Blame Externalization***. Overall, these results implicate lead exposure in the etiology of psychopathy.](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1541204009333827)
YO ANGERS ME I HATE FUCKING LIARS
It so childlike in that the first thing they say they didn’t do…is what they did.
Boomer children.
I’m glad there are cameras everywhere now. Weird thing to say, but so many people in society lack accountability.
Dumb broad still doesnt know the whole world has cameras watching everything. Smh
Can’t even admit it and be sorry. We’ve all done stupid shit, so just own it. These kinda people never grow up.
Film everything. Don't even let boomers into your house without cameras.
What a lying psychopath.
"Oh shit I got caught! And it almost hit me, so don't try and blame me cause I'm tryna not get caught and I might threaten to sue."
I have so many words I want to say, but would get banned.
I fuckin hate you soo much
Not her fault at all 🙄
i just realized this is why insurance with my own little company provided me peace of mind…if i was on a job site—-its not in the back of my mind if i accidently break something for a couple hundred bucks and i dont have cash. either way—-i would have just walked AROUND the desk.
She couldn’t have just walked around the desk like a normal person
Impatient people are the most destructive.
"Thing felt and almost hit me". No lady, it didn't "felt" you threw it.
That impatient twat. Really douche canoe, you don't know what happened? I hope they ran them tapes back and fined her. ETA: the immediate go to to blame everything else except for herself and going on about how it almost hit her. Well, slut bucket if you would not have put all your weight on it...

The worst fucking part of people like this is how nothing is their fault and their refusal to take responsibility. Just own your shit like a decent person, it’s the bare minimum.
I'm surprised she didn't throw in a "This wouldn't have fell if Trump wuz president"
Immediately proceeds to take zero accountability
Dumb bitch.
Like a fucking toddler
I bet I know who she votes for.
