Some people just refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.

If you accidentally dropped something you just bought, would you take the blame for breaking the product, or would you accuse the store of setting you up?

This woman was working with her dad in their family shop.

A customer bought a light tube but accidentally dropped it on the floor and broke it.

Keep reading to find out how the story plays out.

Customer broke a light tube, and it was our fault.

This is fresh. It happened 3 hours or so ago.

This guy came in. He wanted a light tube.

Normal stuff, it happens all the time.

So we give him the tube.

This woman explained why they let the boxes open on both sides.

He pays.

Note that these boxes are open on both sides because that’s how light tubes are packed. It’s so you can see if they have starters on or not.

So you have to either hold them horizontal, put them in a bag, or hold them tight enough so you can hold it in place.

The guy turned the box vertically, and the tube fell and broke.

Now, as he holds it, the dude turned it vertical, and the tube slowly fell.

He didn’t do anything to stop it.

So then, the tube crashed on the floor and broke.

I grabbed the big pieces and took them to the trash, and grabbed the broom.

He was blaming them and saying they did it on purpose.

When I came back to the scene, the customer was cursing.

He said we gave it to him “on purpose” so that he would buy another one.

He also said that we poked holes on both sides of the box so that the tube falls out and he has to pay for a second one.

Her dad simply replaced the broken light tube and didn’t ask him to pay.

I don’t know why, but my dad (owner of the shop) actually gave him another one and didn’t charge him.

As he was walking out while we were cleaning his mess, he turns around and says: “This is the last time you’ll ever see me. I’m never coming here again.”

I have no words…

Considering he got the light tube replaced for free, he shouldn’t be upset.
