Did he carve a backwards B onto his face then?

[Pop]

There must be another way.

[Torgo]

I felt that way when I worked at Kinko's.

[Rev JSH]

Blockheadbuster.

[Phranqlin]

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[Sheila]

Somebody this stupid is lucky to have any job.

[johnjohn]

This man had the convictions to go past the point of no return, slicing out a niche for himself in the annals of shirking work. Now, that is living life to the hilt!

[Jim Romenesko]

The good news for him is that Blockbuster stores are being closed left and right. He won't have to say "Be kind and rewind" for much longer.

[Lambiepie]

I don't think I'll be using that excuse any time soon

[Saxo Grammaticus]

I've had jobs I hated this much, but the the way you do this is to fantasize about stabbing the *boss* - then hauling your ass to work and *not* stabbing the boss.

But Jim is right; these Blockbuster jobs are all but gone anyway!

[Dale]

His day job is a psychiatrist, film critic by night

[Farmer Bob and the City]

What happened to calling in sick?

"I have explosive diarrhea" always worked for me.

Sterilize him.

[nauip]

He didn't consider just not going to work?

[Handy Dandy]

Sterilization is not necessary. He works at Blockbuster, and his plan to get out of work was to stab himself. This guy isn't exactly the star of an Old Spice commercial.

Who the hell even goes to Blockbuster anyway? What is this, 1989?

[Torgo]

Let's make it a Blockbuster night.

**slice**

Ahhhhhh!

[Navy Chief]

I still go to Blockbuster. We don't watch enough movies to go the Netflix route.

@Jim - 'Be kind - rewind?' What's up with that? Are you still renting video tapes?

[jasmine]

My job makes me want to stab myself sometimes. I understand that part. But the part where he ACTUALLY STABS HIMSELF is beyond me.

Farmer Bob has it right: explosive diarrhea, death of an imaginary loved one or pet, these are all fine choices. Whatever happened to creativity?

[Somebody]

Don't eat the brown acid.

[chris (no longer n cali)]

I'd like to stab a blockbuster employee. I rented Gran Torino and tried to return it because of a problem with the regional codec. The guy told me I rented it in another country and it wasn't his problem.

[The Hermit]

He should've shot himself instead....

[Lots42]

Explosive poops? They'd just put you to work in the shelves so you can run to the bathroom when needed.
