"they dont pay me enough to get hurt" the most relatable thing ever
-
It's nice to see one where no one was brutally murdered.
-
“They dont pay me enough to get hurt” Like every student ever,
-
Gotta respect them filming visuals for this one.
-
The fact that they were so confident that they wouldn’t get caught that they were 100% fine with showing their faces like that is a POWER move
-
“Yea if I was robbed I would loose $50 cash, an Xbox one-“ “I WOULD LOOSE A BUTTERFLY ENCASED IN GLASS.”
-
“Don’t worry, help has arrived. Help!” - C.C. Tinsley
-
I love how Abath heard he has an outstanding arrest warrant and just thought: "Yeah probably" and let them cuff him. What a guy.
-
"It's suspicious he couldn't describe how the guys looked like." I can't describe what my mom looks like let alone two dudes in a dark museum I have never seen before.
-
If this heist was ever made into a movie I would want Jack Black to play abathe
-
Update on Richard E. Abath: He graduated college in 2010 and decided to pursue a career in teaching. Today he's in his 50's and works as a teacher's aid in Brattleboro, Vt. He's also happily married with 2 kids!
-
This has probably been said a millions times before on the old comments. But if I casted a movie - jack black is the obvious choice to play that security guard.
-
Do you ever think that those who did participate in the heist watched this video and was like "Damnit Steve. I told you we needed the mustaches!"
-
My goal in life is to witness a crime and leave a statement that would make Shane say 'I love this guy.'
-
Cops: did you see who did it? Hostage: yeah they had mustaches Theives: takes mustache off Shane: 😮
-
One of my biggest fears in life is being a witness to a crime, seeing the criminal's face and then not being able to describe it to the police because I'm very bad at remembering faces.
-
“they dont pay me enough to get hurt” im fucking dead
-
Okay but we need the real answers to the real questions here. Did Abath still get to attend his Grateful Dead concert later that day?
-
The minute they mentioned that the security was about to get updated when the heist happened I figured it was an inside job. Just feels a little too convienient.
-
“they don’t pay me enough to get hurt” teachers when students are fighting
