    If that was deliberate, whoever did it deserves a statue.

      God I hope it was deliberate and they never get caught, because that would be amazing.

        I’d pretend it was deliberate, and tell him to cry more.

    To any self respecting person this is but a blip in their day. Only a petty fool would draw attention to something like this and in doing so only serve to highlight what a pathetic slob they are.

    Wait until they charge a maintenance guy with assault and demand the death penalty, like a cult would.
