I wonder how this started, it's so sweet Edit: I keep seeing a lot of comments or replies here bringing up stuff like police brutality sort of issues or implying stuff like gun violence or things along those lines, especially comparing it to stuff in the US, and while those are important issues, this is just a cute video and I dont think it's even in the US so like... idk can we just chill? I haven't used reddit a ton so it might just be how stuff is here but I don't really see the reason for all the doom and gloom I guess? Let's just appreciate an older lady and a store employee having some harmless fun


JoeyBougie

I’m sure back in the day he attempted to rob her on the streets and she rolled him to the ground and pressed her sewing needle ball to his throat until the police arrived. Sending him to juvenile detention. Later on after a felony fueled life he could only find work at a grocery store where she ended up running into him,and being a grandma had a few dollar store water guns for the grand baby’s. She was so scared she pointed the gun at him but him being a produce worker grabbed his scanner and pointed at her creating the events we see now. Aren’t old ladies the best?


Conscious-Syrup-98

The first sentence absolutely fucked me 😂


victoriousglucose77

The body only got aged but, the memory of childhood will be remember forever and can't never been erase granny youthful is still fresh.


Jaalan

Tell that to my grandma 🤕


tjdux

Reminds me of when we found granny in her garage, laying on the floor yelling for help cuz she wanted to try and see of she could still jump rope at age 77. 1 broken hip later says she cannot jump rope anymore, but she sure figured it would be alright lol.

She had at his neck the gom jabbar


[deleted]

Gotta give it to Reddit to let me see a comment on the Gom Jabbar the day after I start reading Dune. Literally wouldn’t have a damn clue what you were talking about if I read this comment yesterday.


Beavshak

I know I miss a thousand references a day. I avoid telling people a joke isn’t funny, because its just as likely *I’m the ignorant one*.


ThatisJustNotTrue

Reading Dune for the first time? I'm envious.


Sadzeih

That's called the [frequency illusion](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion). Happens when you learn about something and suddenly it's like it's everywhere.


MidNite-Burritos

You just frequency illusioned me about frequency illusion. Me and my son were just talking 2 days ago about all the things that have done that to us and we couldn't remember the term and now here I am on Reddit and Boom out of nowhere here's my answer.

Probably with the old lady saying 'I swear I thought it was a toy gun...!'

Likely with a police office shooting both of them because he saw the standoff and was afraid for his life.

Ya so sweet.. Until one day a trigger happy cop thinks the granny has a real gun and decides to blast her.


usernamesallused

I’m more concerned about the worker with that suicide vest. I’m so scared this going to end badly.


Chiho-hime

In many countries it would be very unlikely that something bad happens. And at least the name Pampelmousse doesn't sound US American, I think its called pomelo in english?


Loooooooong_Jacket

Pamplemousse is French for grapefruit


Lissy_Wolfe

She's an old white lady. That's not going to happen.


turdferguson3891

This also doesn't seem like it's in the US.


fruskydekke

Yeah, the guy's vest says "Pamplemousse" which doesn't seem like a terribly likely name for a US greengrocer's. If they even have those in the US?


turdferguson3891

Green grocers exist in the US but you typically would only see them in a really crowded urban area where their isn't as much space for a full supermarket. They're not unusual in NYC, for example but suburban areas would have no use for them. At most there might be a weekly farmer's market in the area.


BandwagonerSince95

I used to believe that, but not I'm not so sure. Things went from "not going to happen" to "less likely, but we want to reserve the right to blast for no reason"


sbowesuk

The little suicide vest killed me.

I wanna know how many days he wore that vest until granny showed up. lol


Noisy_Toy

Most supermarkets around me have a day of the week that seniors get an extra 5-10% off. So he probably knows what day of the week she’ll be there. Source: my mother’s strict shopping schedule.

Is America just breadsticks? Like i swear i see that word five times in any given thread on this site. What the fuck even is a breadstick? And why does it seem like that's the only thing you eat, talk or even think about over there. I'm from Sweden and have travelled a decent amount (not been to the US though) and have never heard the word breadstick outside of reddit. Breadstick this, breadstick that, ITS ALL FUCKING BREADSTICK EVERY WHERE I LOOK ON HERE GAAHHH. I'm having nightmares about breadsticks and i don't even know what the fuck they are??? Is it those Italian long skinny cracker things, or is it a stick with bread around it? Fucking breadsticks man, the great mystery of my life.

Nerf Longshot, for anyone actually wondering. Not sure what Granny's packing in the third clip.

Is that the one that comes with like 3 other guns? I remember seeing one once that had the long distance shot, a small handgun hidden in the stock and a missile launcher.

sort of. The guy in the clip has all two sections assembled, the front barrel is a removable pistol. https://webimg.secondhandapp.com/1.1/5c6ae779102cad35c9f487bc


rnbwhtr

Itll be the saddest moment when he's prepped for the standoff and she doesn't show anymore. Mah heart.


wolfgang784

Yea =( At my old Best Buy job we had a regular who was OLD old. Dude was over 90 and looked it but he kept up with technology and could actually speak about the hardware and software in there, not just use it. Detailed technical knowledge on it all. But that was his passion in retirement and he had the money to come in and always get the latest and greatest. New iPad launch? He's there that week. Windows 8 launch? He's in with his high end computer to get it upgraded to 8. You get the idea. Everyone knew him, everyone talked to him, (I drank a lot back then and can't remember his name anymore though) and everyone enjoyed his company. So when there was a big new iPad launch and he didn't show up, we were a bit worried. Another week, more worry. Finally his daughter comes in to purchase the iPad for him, and let's us know he took a sudden unexpected turn for the worse and was in the hospital. Store got together and signed a card for him real quick, anyone who was there that day. He eventually returned to the store months later but he looked like a mummy by then and really struggled to move and even breath. Visiting the store was a huge toll on him clearly. He came in a few more times over the next 2 years or so but most of that time he couldn't even muster the energy and breath to have his long tech conversations and such anymore, sadly. Not too long later he took another turn for the worse and passed. His son and daughter both came in to inform us. Sad day, but at least we knew.


FlaxxtotheMaxx

Ow my heart :( It sounds like he enjoyed y'all's company just as much as y'all enjoyed his.


Phatferd

My grandpa is 88 and he takes technology classes and excel, windows, mobile development classes at the local community college to stay active and with the times.


wolfgang784

It was always a joy to get into a serious tech conversation with someone who you completely didn't expect to know anything about the topic. I'd often get too carried away though and ruin my sales numbers for the day from talking too long with someone though lol.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

> my old Best Buy job > I drank a lot back then Yup that checks out. I remember those 630am mandatory morning meetings and having fucking morning games to get people "pumped up" before the shift. Fuck. That. Some good people, some good regulars like your story, but for some reason I mostly only remember people like the guy who insisted on haggling for the price of Gladiator on DVD.


wolfgang784

I even drank *at* work lol. I was already drunk for those 630 meetings usually. Nobody could tell because they didn't really know non drunk me. Alcoholism is no fun, thankfully I don't do that anymore. Hagglers were the worst though. Idk why they think you can go into a retail store and try to haggle on a dry Macbook with no extras like it's a street vendor or a farmers market. Buy a several thousand dollar TV and a grand in services, and then we can reasonably haggle a bit. I totally did have a few people try to haggle on DVDs though too lol.


waloz1212

It was sad turn of event but he has great memories with his friends and know they cared for him. Don't think of him as being too weak in his final days, think of him as despite his deteriorated health he still want to hang out with you guys.


MedswithBreakfast

I found out online that someone famous had cancer. It spread. That famous person I knew lived in the area. I would see her around. She would walk her dog and bring him to the dog parks. After a while, I saw her dog with another woman. I didn't spot her walking around as much. I kept thinking she has a ticking bomb. I'm not going to spot her at some point. When I stopped seeing her, I started getting scared. Then it came out that she died months later. There is a void in the area not to see her.


geraltsthiccass

See I have a similar one. I worked at tesco 10 years ago and every week this absolute angel of an old woman would come in. She would buy a few items and a full carton of cigarette packs to last her until her next trip. There was a day she came back to us not long after leaving and her face was bloodied up. Some absolute monster had followed her into her flat, beat the shit out of her and stole her handbag off her. She had no idea what to do so she came back into us for help. Police unfortunately never got whoever done it but we helped her contact her bank to get her cards cancelled and replaced. We gave her the stores phone number and told her to call ahead when she was coming down so one of us could run out to meet her at her door (she only lived across the road and down a bit from the shop) and we would walk her back home after she'd gotten her things too. One week she stopped calling us and we were really worried about her but although we knew where her flat was we didn't know which number she lived at to go see if she was OK. A few weeks after her 1st missing call her son came in, we only knew it was him because whoever served him saw how many cigarettes he was buying and that they were her brand. She had taken a bad turn and he moved back from England temporarily to look after her. I left that job not long after that so no idea if she recovered but when I occasionally think back about her I tell myself she recovered and still goes in for those cigarettes now even though I know it's most likely not the case


kurtilingus

As much as that makes my heart sore from reading; I really enjoy knowing there was an extremely high likelihood his motivation to continue enjoying his tech-geek passions literally kept the life in his body by sheer force of will for quite some time just so he could enjoy a bit more of a rare thing to find in life: A passionate love for something that has a unilaterally literal pureness to it, whether as a ravaged husk of a man or otherwise.

hausofthedead

Someone always has to comment the sadness because every Pixar movie did it first. Without getting too deep, I think that remembering the sad bits of life are some peoples’ way of reminding themselves to “just enjoy the moment” (because eventually it all ends) But you hit the *real* twist: granny comes in next week and 25 year old dude isn’t there… he died in a car accident over the weekend.

Damn dude, she's an active granny that still shops for her own groceries, she's not circling the grave. He'll likely leave that job long before she passes away.
