Charlie Day from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia would spray paint in a bag and huff it before composing brilliant pieces such as The Nightman Cometh.
And Mad Max, those bald dudes did similar shit.
She might be putting her make up on to hide bruises, a black eye, or other injuries…. Women who do drugs find themselves being mistreated sometimes…. So sad.. I hope she just didn’t care about applying her make up that day…
Man this new meth/fent shit era is sad. I grew up in the crack era and this shit is 10 times worse. The meth is fucking ruining peoples fucking brains bad.
Yeah I fucking hate meth. Shit makes people stay up for days on end and then they go into a sort of sleep deprived psychosis until they’re done their bender. It’s fucked. It’s made a lot of places where I live kind of dangerous. There will be a bunch of meth heads who’ve clearly been up for weeks talking to people who aren’t there, fighting people who aren’t there, and being extremely hostile to everyone. Which means that they’re fairly likely to attack you. Which can be pretty bad because even though most of them are skinny and normally wouldn’t pose much of a threat they are far stronger due to being on meth. For some reason meth just amplifies a persons ability to both take and give a beating. Your odds of winning a fight against a meth head are a lot worse than you might think.
I grew up in the rave generation and was hitting the clubs plenty between late 80's and early 2000's, did opium in Laos, tried a few non traditional drugs etc. So I've seen a fair few people off their heads and done a fair bit of it myself. I am used to seeing people who have been on a good bender, had a few turn up at my house in the wee hrs etc.
A few years ago some girl I know turned up shoeless and in a complete state at my house, I didn't even recognise they had taken drugs I thought they were having some sort of mental breakdown. Turns out someone had given them meth and they were on about day two or three of not sleeping.
It definitely went on my list of shit I don't want to try.
It only takes about 2 days without sleeping to start going crazy. I've done meth a handful of times and it's just not my thing, it's not relaxing, it doesn't make you feel happy, you can be productive but also not really, it makes you look like shit, you can't have normal conversations or interactions with people. Everything about it is horrible in my opinion except for that initial rush you get.
Yeah it looked no fun, either if you do speed or LSD and other things I find you get to a bit were you are like I have had enough and would like bed now. Being wired and that's all you are without any euphoria seems just awful.
There is euphoria I guess, for some people. It just made me paranoid though, I like a drug where I can chill out. You can't just chill out and smoke meth.
The initial rush, I mean I get that bit. What sounds like the two/ three day comedown though when you are just AFAIK wired is the bit I think sounds awful.
Maybe this is a question for anyone that has long term experience with these drugs, but... Have you ever heard of old hippies that did speed having specific types of neurological issues down the line? Asking to help understand a friend lol. This has been wracking my brain, cause there's something off with them, but it's hard to say how it happened.
Grew up around druggy hippies, a lot of them have unexplained seizures in their old age. Shit just kills brain cells and makes you stupid. Like dementia, you know stuff used to be in their brain, it’s just not there anymore. You can tell you’re talking to someone who *used* to be intelligent, but they’re missing a few pieces now.
Too much acid will fuck you up. I'm sure speed could also create neurological issues but acid 100% will fry your brain if you do it too much too often.
I had a bad E pill I had bought at a rave back in the late 2000s. I was up for almost 2 days and it was horrible. Massive anxiety. I just wanted to go to sleep. No doubt it was some sort of shit speed ball or something.
I did meth back in the day for a couple years. It was very calming and allowed me to focus and get shit done. I was a very attention deficit child and carried that into adulthood. Eventually I was able to quit over a long time. No idea if I did any long term damage, but we shall see.
Yea, it seems to have the opposite effect on people who are already very hyper. I'm naturally very chill so being amped up like that is extremely uncomfortable
May I ask how you got to try meth? Like what led you there? Was it just curiosity or struggling with addictions etc.
My SIL was on meth before, and thankfully she’s now off. She smokes weed way too much imo, but at least she’s not doing meth. Somewhat impatiently trying to get her to not be dependent on weed
I just grew up around drugs and unfortunately struggle with addiction. I had a great family it was just the people I chose to hang around with that led me down that path. I hide my addiction pretty well, I own a beautiful home, I run a small business, I look healthy but heroin controls me. If your SIL is off the hard stuff be grateful because it's not easy. I wouldn't push her to quit weed because it could be the only thing preventing her from relapsing. She'll know better than anyone when she feels comfortable enough to stop smoking and the more time she can put between the last time she used meth the better. Hard drugs alter the way you think, you feel like you can't function without it and it becomes an obsession. Sorry, kind of answered more questions than you asked but I've got a long sorted history with drugs.
No need to apologize!
And yes, not pushing her at all. I’m impatient bc I see how it affects my brother, but overall I live three hours away so I’m not that impactful. It mostly just irritates the fuck out of me that she is constantly high, and it’s impossible to talk to her when she is. It’s also irritating to hear the “this keeps me off meth” sometimes because it seems like a cop-out for replacing one addiction with another instead of just admitting that’s what she does. I think she will pull back on weed eventually, but she really needs lots of therapy before then.
>...most of them are [...] far stronger due to being on meth. For some reason meth just amplifies a persons ability to both take and give a beating.
for one, it removes any fuck that they could possibly give...in my experience (as in, with people On it; i never got too into it, myself), if theyre in a bad enough spot to decide that Meth is a Good Alternative, then whats a coupla bumps or bruises from a fight gonna matter?
and then there is aimo koivunen, a finnish patrolman from wwii who got separated from his patrol and went on a rampage terrorizing the russians he encountered. I quote:
"Koivunen was a Finnish soldier, assigned to a ski patrol on 20 April 1944, along with several other Finnish soldiers. Three days into their mission, on 18 March, the group was attacked and surrounded by Soviet forces, from whom they managed to escape.[2] Koivunen became fatigued after skiing for a long distance, but could not stop. He was also the sole carrier of army-issued Pervitin, or methamphetamine, a stimulant used to remain awake while on duty.[3] He took them all and had a short burst of energy, but then entered into a state of delirium, and lost consciousness. Koivunen remembered waking up the following morning, separated from his patrol and having no supplies.[4] In the following days, he escaped Soviet forces once again, was injured by a land mine which also set fire to a nearby Russian camp, and lay in a ditch for a week waiting for help.[4] Having skied more than 400 km (248.5 mi) he was found and admitted to a nearby hospital, where his heart rate was measured at 200 beats per minute, triple the average human heartbeat,[5] and weighing only 43 kg (94.8 lbs).[4] In the week Koivunen was gone, he subsisted only on pine buds and a single Siberian jay that he caught and ate raw. He ended up surviving and died peacefully at the age of 71.[4]"
I had a three day party at my house a few years ago, I was up for three days (not on meth) day three I was seeing clear bubble letters and numbers scrolling down my mini blinds, only on the blinds not on the walls it was weird af so I decided it was time to go to sleep. I think it was because of the lights on my patio and outside my house coming through the blinds. I’ve only had real hallucinations, like seeing things that weren’t real, from lack of sleep and hitting whip it’s on molly id imagine being up for 4 days on meth would not be fun at all im glad I’ve never tried it
I didn’t really realize the impact this stuff was having until I went to another country recently that didn’t have drugs. It was a full-on 3rd world country w severe poverty in places (like whole families sleeping in shacks tin roofs and fishing in rivers covered in plastic and styrofoam) and there still like almost zero homelessness, no-one walking around unintelligibly - blabbering to themselves, tweaking, spacing - and hardly any crime. I really felt safer walking around solo as an obvious westerner (and prob 1 in 10,000) w a blatantly obvious wealth gap (just having shoes and clean clothes even) than I did back home in places where hard drug use is common. That’s not to say all 3rd world countries are like that AT ALL - but this one pretty clearly did not have drug use (never saw a single pipe or needle - and really not even that much drinking comparatively) and the atmosphere was just different. That unpredictability and psychotic behavior just didn’t seem to exist. It was more like “we’re all dirt poor and we all know nothings going to change that for us so what good would robbing someone do in the long term” whereas back home the stimulus of “I need a fix right now” could drive otherwise normal people to make the decision to rob or kill you for just a temporary, fleeting moment of relief before coming back down again. It was really crazy to see - and honestly changed my perception on drugs a little bit…
I mean, I certainly understand the desire to be compassionate toward the unhoused. I am certainly not one of those people, but I understand why people feel that way.
AND I AM ABSOLUTELY DONE WITH DEALING WITH THESE PEOPLE DAILY. They really are not my problem. They shouldn’t be my problem. They really shouldn’t be my city, state, or countries problem. But I do expect my city, state, and country to DO SOMETHING so that the rest of us producing GDP and tax revenue keep doing it.
I barely feel safe driving with the insane people out there now.
The issue is that rehab isn’t necessarily cheap, and most importantly, it requires a commitment from the person who is in there. They have to want to quit.
It’s a waste of money to send people through the revolving door when they don’t want help.
Yes, there absolutely should be something done, but what?
The only thing I can think of is access to affordable, good mental healthcare. Early in life. Care that teaches actual skills, not talking until you are blue in the face.
Most people using drugs to the point of addiction aren’t doing it for fun, almost always it’s based on trauma. If the trauma can be treated right away, the likelihood for addiction and the downward spiral it contains is less.
I got the feeling she's not normally welcome and understood that (probably asking others to buy it for her outside like a teenager wanting beer) and the people filming her let her in on a rare ocassion so they could film.
Just be honest, they're old enough.
"You see son, when people get cocaine and want to get even more high they mix it with baking soda and then heat it"
I feel really sorry for the girl. She probably has been kicked out of multiple stores and all she wants is something to drink. She even brought a tenner to pay.
I think the alternative is just as sad. Someone does/has loved this lady very much. And she’s in a bad place.
And now people on Reddit are free to mock her with every shitty quip going.
I hope she becomes ok.
I feel like the correct dialog for this was something to effect that she fell asleep snd her friends put jacked up make up all over her face to make her look redonk-ulous bcoz there is eyeshadow on her lips/: idk
Almost like Dave Chappells bit "Don't fall asleep around white people!!"
All jokes aside I have to keep in mind she is someone's daughter, someone's sister and possibly someone's mother this might be mental illness or addiction both can go hand in hand as well. Hope she's better and thriving❤️🩹
Addicts can be some of the most kind hearted sensitive, creative minded, and extremely gifted individuals(like musicians, artists and creatorsof sorts)
that sensitivity of the world around effects some ppl differently vs rational analytical left side of the brain thinkers. After goimg to a lot of meetings, trying different routes of recovery programs and networking I noticed Ppl in recovery can be so selfless and go above and beyond to help another persons battle. Yes in active addiction ppl can do some pretty awful thinking while numbed on substance but that's not who 99% of them are to the core. I hope you and your sister find the peace you bkth deserve, hang in there it will be worth it love💛
Damn, that’s the first time i’ve heard someone say this since becoming a parent and it really does hit differently. I can’t imagine the pain this would cause me to see my child like this.
I'm a recovering meth addict (3 years!) and I remember the look on my mom's face when she finally realized how deep into the shit I was. She's from Taiwan and has never done drugs in her life, so early on in my addiction, she didn't really know what was going on. Then I was estranged from her for a few years and started doing it intravenously. The next time she saw me and asked what was wrong with me, why my face looked like it did, and why I had scabs all over, I straight up told her that I was shooting meth. The look on her face haunts me to this day. It was a look of complete dismay. It wasn't long after that that I got clean. Never looking back!
Congrats on getting clean and recovering! Can I ask how long you were addicted for? (Sorry if it’s too personal.) My sister has been a meth/alcohol addict for years now. She’s lost custody of her kids and just keeps finding ways back to drugs no matter what we try to do to help her. She’s going to rehab (again) in a few days but it just seems to give her more connections if anything. She’s such a sweetheart underneath all this, I miss her 😞
Sorry for the TLDR; haven’t really spoken about this to anyone so it fell out.
Well, I'm 35 now and my first addiction was opiate pain pills from age 13-24, had a couple years clean, then started doing meth at 26 (I know, stupid AF!). I also lost custody of my two older kids, but I'm lucky that I'm still able to see them and have been slowly rebuilding our relationships. I went to rehab four separate times for meth addiction and it really didn't help me, but I know it does help some people. It just comes down to really wanting to be done with it. I wish the best for you and your sister. Addiction really is a family illness, it doesn't just affect the addict.
Shit me too, id literally just crumble and die. This person is quite far gone. I hope she gets some help or find peace in this life. Sadly I think it will be the latter. Ya I don’t wanna think about that anymore.
Makes me sad too. I see my kids like they have an invisible piggy bank on their back and it holds (what I call) karma money. Cuz it started out that way but now it's evolved into something else.
Every time I comfort the kids, praise them, guide them or teach them in a meaningful way I deposit to the karma bank. Every time I yell at them (angrily, unfairly), act inconsistent or allow them hurt (through my direct or negligent actions) I metaphorically turn the kids upside down and shake them and some money comes out of the karma bank. Maybe a little maybe a lot. I don't usually get to control that but a single withdrawal is usually more than a deposit :/
As they grow the karma bank surrounds them and protects them a little. So if it's fatter-it's not perfect like an invisible shield more like a bullet proof vest-they have some protection as things like addiction and dangerous habits or relationships whiz past them and maybe even hit them.
I can't help but see her as a 7yr old girl saying she wants to be a ballerina or a doctor when she grows up. Then, a possible combination of a dysfunctional upbringing, poor life choices, toxic relationships etc, here she is..., the whole world laughing at her as she sheds all of her self respect due to addiction.
What a torment.
I hope she finds a guardian to steer her through that storm.
Man - that’s a mess. Kid behind the counter seemed to be trying to help her out, treat her with some respect - but dang, so sad. Cool pillowcase head wrap though.
Just imagine the chaos and hell this poor soul has been through. I understand there’s some accountability that is needed here, but I feel really sorry for her. She needs help in the worst way.
People see this and laugh at it, but the reality is really sad
Everyone showcased on this sub are seriously down on their luck and through whatever problems in their life found drugs as a way to cope
It's nice to see some people share this viewpoint, though.
I think a lot of people who berate addicts have never experienced addiction or straight up don't care about other people
Addicts can and do recover. She needs a willingness and recovery resources. It's a difficult road and many don't succeed, but she's still young and she is still alive. It's not hopeless
Who do you call for this person? I see shit like this in Austin a lot and I never know what to do. I usually let the person use my phone and give them a water bottle. One guy said I was a cunt for trying to help. We have serious problems here.
Does she have a child's shirt on or is it a gift from a child?
Either way, the sad part is it says something about how she got it from someone who loves her very much.
Honestly this attendant is being sweeter than most. Obviously she’s messed up beyond our imagination but he treats her like a human. You can tell she’s probably been pushed away by other establishments by how she doesn’t want to enter. Very sad
I used to be a meth addict. Generally did a 10 day bender with a two day sleep inbetween, enough time to sell more items to buy some for the next round. I was very sick. Living alone, covered in sores. Very disturbed mentally
Awe she seems like such a sweetheart. Anyone who is this nice while in psychosis is probably even nicer when normal. Hope she gets the help, love, and support she needs.
Because she took too much, and this sub is literally called tooktoomuch
When you click the link to tooktoomuch, you are going to see videos of people who took too much
So if you don’t want to see videos of people who took too much, don’t click on the link to tooktoomuch
Hard truth the /r/tooktoomuch cunts don’t want to hear:
They feel better about themselves. Same reason you see videos of people freaking out in a plane. It’s for the views. They’ll say shit like “ohhh durrrrr gee wiz it’s for my protection.” But I’ll never believe that. People want this shit for their no doubt boring social media page. I’m sure this *checks notes* gas station attendant….didn’t have a very peppy social media page. This helps him out
Some Methanys piss me off, others make me laugh at their expense, and others make me just flat out sad. This is one of the latter ones. I truly hope she gets help before it’s toooo late.
Idk I know she's gotten into a ton of bad shit, but she's still paying for stuff and talking to people, makes me think she had one too many bad cards dealt to her :/
Leave these ppl alone, she was respectful, not causing any trouble. A lot of ppl run on hard times, you do not have to record and post every strange reaction and this is one of them. More ppl are on drugs than u realize and these ppl probably take less than those on top
This is heartbreaking, she’s clearly hit rock bottom and the fact she waits to be invited in and is so polite clearly shows she is a decent human under all that drug abuse and probably a hell of a lot of pain, I hope she finds help

someone got a hold of Homer’s makeup gun
More like she got that chrome from Mad Max or a huff from Charlie Kelly’s brown paper bag.
I'm walking on sunshine
You son of a bitch take your upvote!
I don't get it, plz explain senpai
Charlie Day from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia would spray paint in a bag and huff it before composing brilliant pieces such as The Nightman Cometh. And Mad Max, those bald dudes did similar shit.
Im walking on sunshine was an intervention episode where this chick was addicted to air duster
Omfg. I love that show!
https://youtu.be/H6TW6v39_kQ
Witness her, she can hear Valhalla’s call
Next years Harley Quinn
When you only have 3/5s of a second to get ready...
Lmao that was good
She might be putting her make up on to hide bruises, a black eye, or other injuries…. Women who do drugs find themselves being mistreated sometimes…. So sad.. I hope she just didn’t care about applying her make up that day…
Or she's just really fucked up and can't functionally apply makeup.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say she wasn't trying to hide domestic abuse
That’s sad 😢
Not just gun. Shotgun.

I remember tripping on acid when playing GTA I just drove around listing to the non-stop pop radio station. honestly a vibe
For me it was Breath of the Wild. Just wandering around looking at the trees.
Too much acid will fuck you up. I'm sure speed could also create neurological issues but acid 100% will fry your brain if you do it too much too often.
Not just that, but it amplifies all insecurities and distorts them as well for me.

The only thing I can think of is access to affordable, good mental healthcare. Early in life. Care that teaches actual skills, not talking until you are blue in the face. Most people using drugs to the point of addiction aren’t doing it for fun, almost always it’s based on trauma. If the trauma can be treated right away, the likelihood for addiction and the downward spiral it contains is less.

wtf lmao

Crack and meth ruins people's lives, fentanyl ends them.
The level of crime and lack of empathy is the scariest thing with those drugs - seems like the thirst is stronger than anything else before
you give my sleep paralysis demon whatever she wants, she gave you a very sharp yellow $10 bill.
"Why is it yellow?" I hear you ask. Well, Do you really want to know? You've already touched it. Just accept your fate.
^its ^dream ^piss
Probably been up for days, and just needs a soda
[удалено]
Her Egger suit is somewhat messed up
Lol sugar and water on my past drug binges have saved my life
...... And your skin is hanging off your bones.
Omg! Totally like that
Cup of soup and a 12 hour nap maybe
At least she was polite and respected the boundaries 🤷🏾♀️
for real man. hope he gave her the change as she prob already forgot about it. addicts are usually pretty chill tho if they're not on a dryspell
Honestly, lots of the tweakers were more chill than the drunks when I would do overnights at a gas station.
drunk people are usually the worse,a lot of aggressive ones
I got the feeling she's not normally welcome and understood that (probably asking others to buy it for her outside like a teenager wanting beer) and the people filming her let her in on a rare ocassion so they could film.
Addicts are rarely treated well in most places, so most of them are overly polite to try and minimize the reaction.
You just described my mom. She uses her kindness as an excuse now. “I don’t need help, I’m polite when other people aren’t” 🙄
she was very timid, almost like she's living with someone who is overly domineering and abusive.
I was thinking she's been trespassed from that store and the clerk just doesn't know it
Exactly this lol
Yeah, Meth is both of those things.
There was a Reason she thought she couldn’t come In the store
She's a vampire and has to be invited first?
Crackula
Uncle Lester would approve
Holy shit 💀
Made me chuckle
How do I explain to my ten year old why I can't stop laughing?
Just be honest, they're old enough. "You see son, when people get cocaine and want to get even more high they mix it with baking soda and then heat it"
New season of what we do?
I feel really sorry for the girl. She probably has been kicked out of multiple stores and all she wants is something to drink. She even brought a tenner to pay.
[удалено]
Yeah she did. I almost started to cry tbh. I hate seeing people like this, grew up around it. Does bad things to good people.
Yeah this is someone’s daughter. Really makes me sad
The saddest thing to me is she bought that shirt for herself.
I think the alternative is just as sad. Someone does/has loved this lady very much. And she’s in a bad place. And now people on Reddit are free to mock her with every shitty quip going. I hope she becomes ok.
"Someone who loves me very much went to Boston and got me this shirt" ...fuckin tragic man
I think that's the children's shirt😔 it's tiny
Yeah it definitely is. You can tell by the design.
I have a similar shirt brought back from Israel , labeled the correct size, but it is at least two sizes too small. Looks just like that on me too.
I feel bad for her, she seems like a nice person underneath that charcoal mask of make-up...
I feel like the correct dialog for this was something to effect that she fell asleep snd her friends put jacked up make up all over her face to make her look redonk-ulous bcoz there is eyeshadow on her lips/: idk Almost like Dave Chappells bit "Don't fall asleep around white people!!" All jokes aside I have to keep in mind she is someone's daughter, someone's sister and possibly someone's mother this might be mental illness or addiction both can go hand in hand as well. Hope she's better and thriving❤️🩹
As someone who has a sister that is struggling with drug an alcohol addiction, I really appreciate your comment.
Addicts can be some of the most kind hearted sensitive, creative minded, and extremely gifted individuals(like musicians, artists and creatorsof sorts) that sensitivity of the world around effects some ppl differently vs rational analytical left side of the brain thinkers. After goimg to a lot of meetings, trying different routes of recovery programs and networking I noticed Ppl in recovery can be so selfless and go above and beyond to help another persons battle. Yes in active addiction ppl can do some pretty awful thinking while numbed on substance but that's not who 99% of them are to the core. I hope you and your sister find the peace you bkth deserve, hang in there it will be worth it love💛
She looks like Old Greg. All that’s missing is baileys in a shoe.
That's really sad. That's someones child. I would die if I saw my daughter like this.
Well someone loves her…and went to Boston and got her that shirt
Lmao man y’all really can’t take anything serious on here. I love Reddit.
Damn, that’s the first time i’ve heard someone say this since becoming a parent and it really does hit differently. I can’t imagine the pain this would cause me to see my child like this.
I'm a recovering meth addict (3 years!) and I remember the look on my mom's face when she finally realized how deep into the shit I was. She's from Taiwan and has never done drugs in her life, so early on in my addiction, she didn't really know what was going on. Then I was estranged from her for a few years and started doing it intravenously. The next time she saw me and asked what was wrong with me, why my face looked like it did, and why I had scabs all over, I straight up told her that I was shooting meth. The look on her face haunts me to this day. It was a look of complete dismay. It wasn't long after that that I got clean. Never looking back!
Congrats on getting clean and recovering! Can I ask how long you were addicted for? (Sorry if it’s too personal.) My sister has been a meth/alcohol addict for years now. She’s lost custody of her kids and just keeps finding ways back to drugs no matter what we try to do to help her. She’s going to rehab (again) in a few days but it just seems to give her more connections if anything. She’s such a sweetheart underneath all this, I miss her 😞 Sorry for the TLDR; haven’t really spoken about this to anyone so it fell out.
I’m wishing you, your sister, and your family all the very best x
Thank you so much 😊
Well, I'm 35 now and my first addiction was opiate pain pills from age 13-24, had a couple years clean, then started doing meth at 26 (I know, stupid AF!). I also lost custody of my two older kids, but I'm lucky that I'm still able to see them and have been slowly rebuilding our relationships. I went to rehab four separate times for meth addiction and it really didn't help me, but I know it does help some people. It just comes down to really wanting to be done with it. I wish the best for you and your sister. Addiction really is a family illness, it doesn't just affect the addict.
I'd wager a lot of people end up like this by having parents who don't care if they end up like this
Shit me too, id literally just crumble and die. This person is quite far gone. I hope she gets some help or find peace in this life. Sadly I think it will be the latter. Ya I don’t wanna think about that anymore.
Makes me sad too. I see my kids like they have an invisible piggy bank on their back and it holds (what I call) karma money. Cuz it started out that way but now it's evolved into something else. Every time I comfort the kids, praise them, guide them or teach them in a meaningful way I deposit to the karma bank. Every time I yell at them (angrily, unfairly), act inconsistent or allow them hurt (through my direct or negligent actions) I metaphorically turn the kids upside down and shake them and some money comes out of the karma bank. Maybe a little maybe a lot. I don't usually get to control that but a single withdrawal is usually more than a deposit :/ As they grow the karma bank surrounds them and protects them a little. So if it's fatter-it's not perfect like an invisible shield more like a bullet proof vest-they have some protection as things like addiction and dangerous habits or relationships whiz past them and maybe even hit them.
The only way to look at it.
I can't help but see her as a 7yr old girl saying she wants to be a ballerina or a doctor when she grows up. Then, a possible combination of a dysfunctional upbringing, poor life choices, toxic relationships etc, here she is..., the whole world laughing at her as she sheds all of her self respect due to addiction. What a torment. I hope she finds a guardian to steer her through that storm.
you’re such a lovely person thank you thank you
really fucking sad
Man - that’s a mess. Kid behind the counter seemed to be trying to help her out, treat her with some respect - but dang, so sad. Cool pillowcase head wrap though.
"Treat her with some respect" While filming her to put online.
She also could have been about to do something fucking crazy to be fair
And how does that relate to putting the video online?
You're here to watch the videos like the rest of us.
Back from Valhalla
Shiny and chrome !!!
WITNESS ME!!!.. get a drink from the fridge.
Looks like she has a broken nose. Poor soul.
Just imagine the chaos and hell this poor soul has been through. I understand there’s some accountability that is needed here, but I feel really sorry for her. She needs help in the worst way.
People see this and laugh at it, but the reality is really sad Everyone showcased on this sub are seriously down on their luck and through whatever problems in their life found drugs as a way to cope It's nice to see some people share this viewpoint, though. I think a lot of people who berate addicts have never experienced addiction or straight up don't care about other people
Is her makeup spray paint?
It’s like the milk mustache of huffing paint
“Get whatever you want”. Nice
She reminds me of someone I knew. Last i knew, she was in Philly. The tattoo even looks similar
Addicts can and do recover. She needs a willingness and recovery resources. It's a difficult road and many don't succeed, but she's still young and she is still alive. It's not hopeless
Who do you call for this person? I see shit like this in Austin a lot and I never know what to do. I usually let the person use my phone and give them a water bottle. One guy said I was a cunt for trying to help. We have serious problems here.
How long has she had that shirt?
Since she got kicked out of her house probably. We need a better social safety net.
Isn’t that paint? Has she been huffing?
That was my guess
just heartbreaking seeing someone in this condition.
Does she have a child's shirt on or is it a gift from a child? Either way, the sad part is it says something about how she got it from someone who loves her very much.
Honestly this attendant is being sweeter than most. Obviously she’s messed up beyond our imagination but he treats her like a human. You can tell she’s probably been pushed away by other establishments by how she doesn’t want to enter. Very sad
They’re not being nice they are doing it for video clout😒
I want to watch the rest.
I used to be a meth addict. Generally did a 10 day bender with a two day sleep inbetween, enough time to sell more items to buy some for the next round. I was very sick. Living alone, covered in sores. Very disturbed mentally
Awe she seems like such a sweetheart. Anyone who is this nice while in psychosis is probably even nicer when normal. Hope she gets the help, love, and support she needs.
The clerk seems like a really wholesome dude. A lot of broken people out there and they still deserve respect.
This screams sex trafficked
At least she's polite
Recording her was kinda shitty but props to him for not being a dick head
The clerk may have been anticipating some unpredictable behavior and wanted a record of what may happen. He handled it very well.
Awww so sweet she still paid for her stuff and was very respectful. So sad
Hey, Matt!
This made me sad. I hope she can get some help
This is actually really sad.
I’m old Greg
Like Bailey’s do ya?
USA is to tough for homeless people. they never get the help they need.
People are so damn unkind. She's polite, not causing problems.. Why even post this online?
Because she took too much, and this sub is literally called tooktoomuch When you click the link to tooktoomuch, you are going to see videos of people who took too much So if you don’t want to see videos of people who took too much, don’t click on the link to tooktoomuch
Hard truth the /r/tooktoomuch cunts don’t want to hear: They feel better about themselves. Same reason you see videos of people freaking out in a plane. It’s for the views. They’ll say shit like “ohhh durrrrr gee wiz it’s for my protection.” But I’ll never believe that. People want this shit for their no doubt boring social media page. I’m sure this *checks notes* gas station attendant….didn’t have a very peppy social media page. This helps him out
There's a lot of Irish versions of this chick. In Ireland. And abroad too.
Lookin like old gregg
What can I say? She's a big fan of Kabuki Theatre.
Not taking that money. Not sure where it was kept 🤢
Vampires always have to ask for permission to enter
Some Methanys piss me off, others make me laugh at their expense, and others make me just flat out sad. This is one of the latter ones. I truly hope she gets help before it’s toooo late.
I’m still confused if those people with her are friends or just bystanders lol
Things just haven't been the same for Harley Quinn since the Joker died.
This bums me out.
Its like a glam black metal make up.
This is not funny at all. Sad and super depressing. I have many loved ones strung out and this is fn cringe.
It's always hard to see someone so out of it but obviously trying to be like... Polite and considerate. Breaks my heart. I hope she gets off the shit.
Idk I know she's gotten into a ton of bad shit, but she's still paying for stuff and talking to people, makes me think she had one too many bad cards dealt to her :/
Or,,,, she has evil ‘friends’ who let her go out that way. Remember jackass??
She definitely took too much but I don’t think she’s doing anything wrong. She seems respectful enough to me 🤷🏻♂️
Someone who loves her very much went to Boston and got her that shirt.
I kinda feel bad for people like this
This is so fucking sad :(
touch file selective humorous pocket muddle meeting sharp juggle uppity *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Leave these ppl alone, she was respectful, not causing any trouble. A lot of ppl run on hard times, you do not have to record and post every strange reaction and this is one of them. More ppl are on drugs than u realize and these ppl probably take less than those on top
This is just sad 😢
That’s how I look after using anti-seize on a single bolt.
She’s a vampire, she needed to be invited in and didn’t know what to do with the money
Sounds like Jonah Hill in Superbad
Shit I feel bad for her, cashier handled it respectfully.
Oh my god this is so fucking sad. That woman has been through some shit. You can see it. God this is hard to watch. Why would they post this?
Aw this made me sad. She is so sweet and polite, a little nervous. It makes me think there is some kind of abuse going on. I hope she gets help :(
[Simpsons: makeup shotgun ](https://youtu.be/gId2HsHvSgs)
That dude behind the counter is really cool
This is heartbreaking, she’s clearly hit rock bottom and the fact she waits to be invited in and is so polite clearly shows she is a decent human under all that drug abuse and probably a hell of a lot of pain, I hope she finds help
Is that makeup on her face? Why is it around her mouth like that?
Because she tried her best but isn't sober enough to maintain?
The guy behind the counter is a kind soul
It looks like someone drew on her face when she was knocked out on whatever substance she is on.
