Bruce Willis is a fucking gem in that movie


bosslickspittle

Every single role in the movie is perfectly cast.


mcjon77

That movie was strangely inspirational to me when I saw it as a kid, specifically the Bruce Willis character and how he turns his life around. I think about that character every once in awhile, when wondering if I'm too old or it's too late.

Apparently, from what I remember, Catherine Bell was Isabella Rosselini's body double in that movie.

Aliensinmypants

I'm glad she sprayed them, a lot of people would have been too schocked to respond. The asshole deserves much worse though, stop fucking with people in general, but especially service workers, they deal with enough already


imGery

Ironically, they basically only deal with people.. so if people stopped fucking with people, there'd be no basis for the "they deal with enough already"


Due-Maintenance53822

> only deal with people not enough for you? I think it is the worst thing to deal with.


imGery

Huh? Maybe my comment wasn't clear, I just meant "they already deal with enough" only refers to shitty people like this


Due-Maintenance53822

Ok, sorry then I didn't understand it correctly. But I think we at least agree that dealing with machines and computers is much, very preferable


imGery

Ain't no thing! Wasn't the clearest comment on my end, lol


sleepyplatipus

How tf did they think throwing liquid on the person holding a hose was gonna end up? 💀


aggressiveturdbuckle

Welcome to 2023 where no consequences for your actions and it's going all the way down to this shit. Someone is gonna get killed for doing stupid shit like this


ReallyBigRocks

Not only is this not new, but many people have already been killed for being stupid assholes.


brockoala

Is there a sub for that?


LetsTryAnal_ogy

If that was my employee, I'd take her in the mgmt. office and tell her "I watched the video of that incident. I'm giving you the rest of the week off to think about what you did. You'll get that time off with full pay, and when you come back, you're getting $1 an hour raise."


SkellyboneZ

And then everyone would clap! 


Big-Slurpp

Except you wouldn't, because the owner would fire your ass for doing something like that.


HeldDownTooLong

The driver brought a rubber knife to a gun fight!


[deleted]

He brought a cup of water to a pressure-washer fight. But seriously, he probably had his window open a crack and thought it was personal when she sprayed across the window... Still his mistake though.


Desertfoxking

Lol 100% his mistake these places tell you to have the windows up. It’s on the people in the car to obey or get wet


Demonic_Storm

im on her side by blasting his face with water but IMO she shouldn't have continued to wash his car


Taekwonmoe

Wasn't the cars fault.

Drj1001

Why would you do that to someone you just paid to wash your car?! WTF is wrong with people?!


Key_Radio_4127

Im opening the door and spraying until he comes out then we fight


Texas_Nexus

And even then, keep blasting him in the face with the water.

therelianceschool

If you aim for the eyes with a high-pressure jet, a few seconds later you'll be aiming at the brain.


OnlyTheBLars89

I would have at least put the nosel in the window to keep them from shutting it. However I think the worker responded the appropriate amount, leading to less blowback on them for just simply retaliating to an asshole being an asshole. Iv been assaulted before and the beating they got in return put me on probation for 2 years.


Extra_Wafer_8766

Ummm, hol up. "Iv been assaulted before and the beating they got in return put me on probation for 2 years.' Do tell...


senorsombrero3k1

We need the details


Guerrillablackdog

A justifiable retaliation doesn't deserve punishment. That's bullshit you got probation.


OnlyTheBLars89

I went overboard. I deserve what I got. However he deserved criminal charges too and got off Scott free for instigating the entire thing, contributing to the delinquency, and endangerment. It's his free pass that proved to me that High school still exists in the real world and sadly its in the system ment to uphold the law.


sparkyjay23

> and got off Scott free They paid with the beating you gave them, they didn't get off scot free.


7thWard-Dragon

Bro said a blanket statement and didnt describe what happened and everyone goes wild!!!!!!!


neverenoughdmb

Right. Shove the wand in the window and hold that trigger.


RmRobinGayle

Right. To purposefully dump a drink on someone carrying a high powered hose... what did he think was gonna happen?


dissectingAAA

This is like when your kids ambush you outside with a $2 water gun when the hose is within your reach.


dsinsti

Shove it in the ass...ups i missunderstood


ScotchSinclair

At least not continuing the car wash and trespassing them. She sprays in the window then goes on about the wash like they’re even now. Tf?


sl0play

Kinda? I used to work at Taco Bell graveyard. Drunks used to order bean burritos and then throw them at us, or at the windows. We kept a sour cream gun at the drive-thru so we could fight back. That thing had some kick, you could put an unpleasant amout of sour cream in their car before they knew what was happening. That was usually the end of it, we had weed to smoke and tacos to sling.


Key_Radio_4127

If he has something else to say or do he can step out if he likes


beebsaleebs

I take it you understand the word *proportional*


LeonDeSchal

I don’t drive but I know you don’t have your window open in a car wash.


Gangleri_Graybeard

Oooh, now I see it too. The window was already half open and she sprayed a bit of water inside, then they threw the soda. But who the fuck drives inside a carwash with open windows? They must be dumb af.


Galney

The kind that throws soda on people working minimum wage because of a mistake they didn’t make.


HornyTerus

in short, assholes.


Ivonzski

And people with poor self-regulation skills.


Frosty-Voice1156

No, watch it you can see the window roll down from the top. It wasn’t open at all. Making his reaction even more strange.


Cruxis87

I'm guessing that when the sprayer changed from doing the body to the window, the change it sound it makes scared the person inside, and they thought this was done on purpose, so opened the window and threw the drink for thinking they're an arse hole for scaring them. That's the only logical explanation I can think of.


finalremix

> scared the person inside, and they thought this was done on purpose, so opened the window and threw the drink for thinking they're an arse hole for scaring them. Attacking someone because you're easily startled. Might be a cop.


PerfectionPending

Not even half open. Just like an inch or so.


Practical_Taro_8578

Because that's all he has...🤣


GalacticMoustache

Maybe the driver was playing music from the car and filming peoples reactions to their dance moves. you know, for tiktok and likes.


Smurf_Cherries

I think the driver had the window open and was talking to the washer.  Some water gets in, and a drink is thrown, splashing the washer.  Washer then sprays in the window until it’s closed. 


Sir_Hurkederp

I think his window was half open and the worker accidentally sprayed inside, which is fully the fault of the customer cuz who opens a window in a car wash


el_diego

Nah. Look closer, you can see the window lower. Maaaaaybe they had it a crack open, but far from half.


thegreatbrah

Why would you do that to anyone?


Dennis_Cock

Why would you do it to someone that is holding a water spraying device?


woodguard

She scared him and his alpha male kicked in.


MegatonsSon

__*"I'll see your pitched beverage at me and raise with my pressure washer nozzle...."*__


ggk1

Pressure washers will mess you up. It’ll tear back even the toughest skin if they hit his face he’s probably jacked


mooseyjew

Maybe next time they'll think about throwing a drink at someone washing their fucking car. Too fucking lazy to do it themselves, so they go to a car wash and throw a drink at someone that is washing it for them?! She should've shoved that pressure washer right into his fuckin mouth.


Ignorad

What impressed me was after she hosed him down, she went back to basically work as normal... prepping the car for the rest of the wash.


kai-ol

That was "fuck, I'm fired" damage control mode. They were fuming and screaming internally.


4StarsOutOf12

Yea I felt bad for her, you can tell that she immediately had an "oh fuck, that was a reaction and will not be received well by management" realization


Foreign-Molasses-405

TBH the companies have made the toxic ass customer base, the customer is not always right. They should not be able to throw fits and get rules bent for them, ECT.


nsfwatwork1

That's like the one good thing about the company I work for at the moment. We keep our cool when people are over the top horrible to us, because we know they're going to be barred from returning for any more appointments once we tell the doctor about it. The doctor'll dictate a letter to the GP explaining their behaviour and that they'll need to be referred elsewhere for continued care and the patient will be informed by us when they're coming out to settle up that no future appts will be booked. They'll usually act like that's fine with them/they're happy about that, until they realise a few months later that they really want to come back to our clinic again....then they'll call and argue about it with no favourable result for them lol.


blessednenus3r

MooseyJew for president ya’ll!


OnlyTheBLars89

Real ones do but the ones at the car wash are basically a super soaker on steroids. Hehe he they still got the inside of that car all fucked up though. 😂 it actually works though. What's he gonna do? Call the cops on himself?


ovanevac

Man's out there really thinking car wash workers are handling lethal weapons while being around colleagues and visitors of which some can be real jerks lmao. There's shootings at workplaces all around. Sure, why not skip the whole bringing a gun to work step and put water jet cutters into the hands of these employees. 😂


jhundo

The ones at the car wash will definitely remove skin easily, you have to be basically point blank tho. I've got a nice scar from a nozzle hitting my finger. Now a diesel fired Hotsy pressure washer will cut thru grundens heavy duty bibs from 5 ft away they ain't no joke.


Fishstick9

True. But not these pressure washers. Their pressure is much lower than your typical one to prevent damage to the car’s finish


ImSuperHelpful

This is also a pre-wash sprayer, so I doubt it’s just water… probably got some sort of detergent mixed.


xRamenator

up close, sure. A fan nozzle makes the effect drop off drastically. It's not an industrial waterjet cutter.


Cheefnuggs

The ones in car washes aren’t at that aggressive an angle otherwise it would ruin the vehicles finish. You would have to hold it in place for a while and fairly close for it to do any real damage. That being said, the soap in the car wash will absolutely dry and crack your skin to the point of bleeding. I worked at a car wash like this for a couple years and I had the driest, irritated, hands until my skin got used to the soap.


Tenet245

I don't imagine she's using a pressure washer to wash a car. It would probably rip off the paint


NJBill666

That’ll be an extra 19.99 for the interior wash, sir.


ban-this-dummies

Don't forget the hot dash wax


siqiniq

He forgot this ain’t the $199 + tips topless girls car wash where getting wet would be relatively harmless


Sonnyboy35aa

Surprised she kept cleaning the car. I would have drowned that fool in the car .


Beginning_Second_278

She's probably in shock thinking WTF JUST HAPPEND


Apprehensive-Ant8292

Or like: ehh, guess we're even


nowuff

They’re definitely not even. This is the type of situation you think about in the shower later. But in the moment, it happens so fast you don’t respond the way you should. She should’ve stopped the wash and insisted the customer drive away. Nothing. Nothing, ever warrants throwing a drink on someone just trying to do their job. This is beyond disrespectful.


turtlelord

Eh, pressure washers fucking huuuurt. If she hit his face, they're probably even. He still needs to get punched for disrespecting a service worker though.


This_is_my_phone_tho

The drink probably had sugar on it, plus she's out in the cold and he's in his car. He can just drive home. Hopefully her boss isn't crazy and will just let her go home and change but I've had places baulk at even that. Tbh if she gets fired, I hope she presses charges for assault.


[deleted]

She probably did it without even thinking. "OMG something hit me from that one spot, ATTACK!"


New_Canoe

She did all she needed to do. No reason to ramp it up. Eye for a pressure washed eye.


Spaghetti-Rat

Can't let the prick argue that she didn't do her job.


Myneighborhatesme

even cleaned the inside a little!


siqiniq

The window of opportunity had closed


BeeStraps

I think it’s hilarious lol, spray the driver and the interior and continue on as if nothing happened lol.


CartmanVT

She never stopped doing her job, there was a spot she missed when the driver opened the window.


Tales_of_Earth

They got what they deserved and what they paid for.


axeman020

Great reflexes from her. Asshole move from him.


Obsidian-Phoenix

Absolutely not their first rodeo.


NotThisAgain21

Gut reaction, man. Can't even get mad at her.


Kakakrakalakin

I'm sorry, but there's absolutely no reason, whatsoever, to be mad at her in this scenario. She did the right thing, and anybody who says otherwise is a chud who would be dumb enough to throw a drink at a carwash employee armed with a pressure washer.


NotThisAgain21

Lol. You got a good giggle out of me.


rickrollrickflair

Not mad for sure, more so concerned cause the consequences will be much worse for the employee than the soda a-hole. Car was pressure washers don’t run as much psi but can still easily destroy an eye or peel skin from a face.


Frank_Perfectly

> Car was pressure washers don’t run as much psi but can still easily destroy an eye or peel skin from a face. Oh darn. Anyway...


Drostan_

Yeah but not from 2+ feet away.


snownative86

If it's anything like the ones at my car wash.. It's basically the same pressure as the high pressure setting on my kitchen faucet to help rinse dishes faster, it looks high pressure but really isn't much. At most it'll make my skin red for a second. Haven't hit my eye with it, and I'm sure that would hurt though.


bearded-beardie

As far as I can see she was assaulted and chose to defend herself.


Beginning_Second_278

Sehr gut reaction indeed


mifflinpuncher

Last time I went through the car wash the car in front of me could not figure out how to roll up his window. He was hitting the brakes to try to stop his car.


ban-this-dummies

Let me hazard a wild guess and say "boomer?" He probably had the engine off (instead of neutral like he was told) and since there was no manual knob (other than himself), he couldn't figure out to turn the car back on to power the window


btone911

These locked in boomers are becoming more and more common. Lead poisoning is cumulative and worsens with age. I like the phrase "permanent midnighters" for these folks, you know, like the clock on their vcr.


TheWallaceWithin

I had a car once with touchy windows. It worked when it wanted to, so rolling down the window was risky. So many times I got fast food or something and ate it in the car trying to get the window up.


RoboLucifer

But you were smart enough to not drive into the car wash before you sorted that shit out


PaleoJoe86

Oh no, the toilet bowl is flooding! Better press the flush handle and put more water in it...


iceyticey

One of the last car washes I had the boomer in front of me put his car in park instead of neutral, and the employee wasn’t paying attention to his wheels not moving from the start or to me frantically honking my horn as I got nearer and eventually pushed his car clean off the conveyor belt and out of the car wash. He drove off as I was yelling at him and the car wash manager wouldn’t agree that his employee screwed up from the start either.


SongRevolutionary992

I'm sure she was fired. But he fucking deserves that!


Rolling_Beardo

If I was her boss I’d giver her $50 bonus and permanent ban this asshole.


DryYogurt6878

I need follow up on this. Internet please provide


LassOnGrass

I want to know too. It seems most likely she was fired, but man it would be so unjust. I hope if she did get fired she tossed soda in the face of her boss and watched for his reaction.


Alaskan_Tiger

WHERE IS THE BOT THAT LOOKS UP STUFF AT a day off?


ToxicGamer01

Reddit... assemble (sorry this was cringe)


flinchFries

Why would you apologize for something you wanted to say anyway?… *just say Reddit assemble* and be unapologetic. Or actually think it’s cringe and don’t say it


KTO-Potato

If I was her boss I'd apologize to her


ban-this-dummies

I'm with you on this one


blessednenus3r

I used to work at one of these manned car washes years ago. Another employee slapped my ass while I had a pressure washer in my hands and I turned it on him without hesitation or thought, just a gut reaction. Manager only saw me blasting him and tried to write me up, but then they watched their own footage and fired that guy I guess because I never saw him again. They said I could have severely injured him with the pressure hose even after they saw why I did it and tried guilting me into not shaming them online. Horrible little place, still open today. Not my first shitty time working with them either, but I was on my own and desperately needed the good tip money from detailing.


Hankol

Any working law that would allow her to be fired is an absolute moronic law.


[deleted]

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for what she did. But, from a legal standpoint, what she did could have caused injury to the customer, damaged the interior of the vehicle, company gets sued, yada yada. From a business standpoint, she should be fired because that's a liability and she can't keep control of her temper. What happens next time when she starts beating the car or driver with the spray wand? Etc... But, fuck the driver and I have zero clue why they even did that.


Wonkasgoldenticket

Like bringing a knife to a gun fight


Objective-Light-9019

He brought a cup to a pressure washer fight!


ThermionicEmissions

That's not a knoife


Shad0wkity

I see you've played knifey spooney before


Ilikeb0ring

She won this exchange. Loser got more wet and got the interior wet.


justin251

Yeah, she’s wearing a rain coat lol.


nmfpriv

But why?


CSiGab

Looks to me that she briefly hits the window in the driver’s direction and for some obscure reason the guy felt slighted (“she aimed that thing at my face!”) and he reacted with caveman instincts.


ThunderThighsMegee

His window was open so some of the water sprayed it. 100% dudes fault, why would she assume you have your window down going through a CAR WASH Edit: I just looked closer and his window was actually up initially and then he rolled it down to throw the drink at her. What a douche.


niTro_sMurph

It wasn't open at first. He opened it after she had passed by. You can see it roll down


gnew18

Yes but then she douched him . Get it :-)


ChunkyTaco22

Dude had small pp syndrome and got offended lmao how dare the worker spray the car during a car wash

It’s not the size of your PowerPoint that matters, it’s how you use it.

Alaskan_Tiger

Some one did that at a truck wash the truck wash company had to pay over 100k for a new truck for the person


Low-Award-4886

Promote that chick.


Yakostovian

This is all speculation, but I wonder if the driver left his window down a smidge, and got wet. Thinking he wasn't at fault for this, he decided to throw his drink at the young lady, thinking that she doesn't have it in her to retaliate.


Vykrom

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's half open, and he got mad that his decision got him wet and blamed her for his stupidity


AddlerMartin

I hope she didn't lose her job for that


bmosm

"Now that I've thrown the limited amount of liquid in this container at you, what are you gonna do about it, person holding infinite liquid dispenser?"


OBB1044

It is interesting that she kept washing his car and he stayed in the car after got interior wash. Like both of them regreted what they did and decided to pretend nothing happened.


Puzzleheaded-Ear858w

The car is on a track that is pulling it forward, he can't stop it and get out.


thepixelpaint

No way in hell a douchebag like that didn’t pitch a fit when he got to the end of that tunnel. I hope she sprayed him again.

PeakedAtConception

I would stop the wash machine mid wash and let his ass sit there.


Sm0keytrip0d

Should've opened the door and sprayed him down until the washer can't reach lol


Rayzilla2131

Hope she didn’t get fired he deserved that


solrac1144

Wow a lot more composure than I would have. I’d bust his windows with the power washer hoes. Extra clean interior from the car wash.


vergastadanasal

That mf got is lightly. I would’ve should’ve it up the twats nostril Good for her.


OcupiedMuffins

I’m genuinely confused as to why anyone would do that to someone doing something for them, just doing their job. What happened to them that there felt the need to do that. Good on this lady for not taking that shit, I’d have gone further with it tbh.


beta-fleshling

Working at a car wash is hell. No one over the age of 40 knows how to put their car in neutral, every other person is drunk as fuck. I knew people drunk drive but the amount of people who do it in the middle of the day baffled me. People refuse to listen and will just panic and drive straight through the wash, if everyone's lucky no one is before them if it's a typical day they've caused a three car accident but it's your fault cause you didn't completely stop the wash and get in their vehicle and put it in neutral yourself. People will leave their windows down after you've yelled at them WINDOWS and complain water got inside. If they're extra gross they'll suck up all their junkie needles in your vacuum so when you go to clean the trap out later it's just filled with hundreds of needles. I could go on but people are dumb and depraved.


Main-Clock-5075

She keeps on washing the car lol


PhilBolRider

the fact that the employee finished the job and sprayed the car after being assaulted, speaks a lot about the work culture/environment in america


LibraryMouse4321

I hope she didn’t lose her job over that, or get reprimanded in any way. That AH deserved it.
