5 Year Old Broke My Toe With Guitar Hero 3
 |
I was standing in the return line at Wal-Mart Wednesday afternoon when I heard plastic shatter. A split second later I felt the pain of my now broken toe come screaming up my leg. |
Not sure what had just happened, I jumped back in pain. The woman just beside me was screaming “I’m so sorry, I’m sooooo sorry.” The lady’s 5 year old boy had just smashed his Guitar that they were about to return on my little toe like he was a rockstar.
I took a moment to decide whether I would wear my sandals or my tennis shoes this morning. I should have picked the tennis shoes. The boy had now climbed into another lady’s cart and was singing. I wanted to choke him but thought better of it.
The woman who’s child just assaulted me, next told the lady at the return counter that the wrong guitar came in the brand new Guitar Hero 3 thingy she just bought and they should take it back even though the guitar was now busted like my toe.
I know my toe is broken but I will just keep it taped up and not even bother going to the doctor. Just watch out for kids with guitars or make sure to wear steel toed boots when going to Wal-Mart.
That’s my foot pain story. Thanks for listening. Bob Crandford.

Thats what you get for shopping at Wal-mart. You should have took that Guitar Hero 3 and chased that mom around the store trying to smash her toes.

Wow. That looks quite painful.
Can’t blame the kid though, he’s five.
Well, actually, you can. You’ve got some good self control.

Hindsight being 20/20 you should have remarked “Sorry for pro-creating or not controlling your daemon offspring?”

Wal*Mart made a deal with the manufacturer to buy their entire lot of guitar hero 3 for a discounted price with a wired guitar. All other versions of guitar hero 3 sold everywhere else have a wireless guitar. that is what you get for buying any kind of electronics at Wal*Mart. Next time shop at RadioShack.

You should have beaten the kid half to death. At your trial you could claim you “blacked out” and awoke to the aftermath. Works 90% of the time.

that’s what the moronic kids today do with this worthless game, waste their time. That’s right, GH fanboys… you are morons. Get a REAL guitar, learn to play, and you might actually get laid through college. Not to mention learn a skill you’ll keep throughout life.

good for you. I hope every time you limp and when you eventually pay the bill, you’ll remember the day you didn’t teach the kid a lesson and hold his parent responsible. GO fucking whine somewhere else, the internet is running out of room.

Dude you should really go to the doctor and get your toe x-rayed!

Not funny at all. Yesterday my friend was assaulted by a 5 year old in the supermarket. I saw it all. The brat deliberately bumped into her. He started towards me with his moronic mother’s cooing in the backround “Dear don’t bump people.”
Obviously she had no ability to control this little monster. As he came at me I used my deepest scariest voice telling him “If you bump me I will bump you right back!”
I scared the snot out of him. It was time someone did. Don’t give me that crap, “He’s just a kid.” He knew exactly what he was doing and meant to do harm. As long as people let kids get away with this behavior, these monsters will grow up to believe it is okay to do whatever they want at the expense of others.
Next time the brat will “bump” some elderly person into some shelves or knock them down. Is that funny?
You should have held the child’s parent accountable for your toe. Period.

You need to call the Wal-Mart where this happened and have them find out the woman’s name via the return. They have to provide name and other info. If this happened in WM, they are responsible. Forward them your medical bills.
In the future, avoid WM like the plague.

You should sue the mother, claim assault, make the injury out to be a lot more than it really is.
Although now your choices are limited, you should have called the police and filed a report right then and there, then brought it up in civil court later.
