Girl Gets Fired From Her Job At Target After Prank Goes Viral
Updated Oct. 30 2018, 1:16 p.m. ET
Pranks are the worst — especially when you're the unsuspecting victim or you end up getting investigated by the FBI because you took the joke a little bit too far (and broke the law). But when executed correctly, pranks can get you a lot of attention and even go viral, which is not always a good thing as one former Target employee learned. What started as a fun video with her best friend quickly turned into her having to update her resume and look for a new job.
Twitter user @Delilah810 found this lesson out the hard way, after her "prank" on her best friend in the parking lot of a Target went viral. In it, she pushed that friend, who is sitting in a shopping cart, into a push. It looks pretty gnarly, but the friend was apparently unscathed:
They look like they're having a blast, to be fair, but it's a pretty dangerous thing to do. Darn, I sound old!
@Deliliah810's tweet was doing pretty well already, but then she added an update:
Wow, no kidding.
She seems chill with it, though. Maybe because she's managed to maintain her friendship, despite everything:
Though many of @Deliliah810's fans are just run of the mill Twitter users who love a good parking lot disaster vid, there are also a wholllllle lotta people who work at or once worked at Target, too.
Man, if getting thrown into a push is what happens on a work day, what do Target employees get up to at a barbecue?
But there are plenty of people who are enjoying this story even if they have no personal association with Target.
It's very meme-able:
And they're loving her, no matter what she's done:
Because they hate Target:
Don't worry, there are plenty of other companies that could use @Delilah810's skills:
Find your path and follow it!
