My daughter just sent this to me with a note that said, "This could be you.🤣"
Yes, it's satire, but disturbingly relatable. Lol.
ATLANTA, GA — Brittney Crawford, 31, was arrested Saturday evening at a Sephora inside Lenox Square Mall after staff say she camped out at the fragrance counter for six straight hours, sampled 84 perfumes onto various parts of her body, and refused to leave until she found one her ex-boyfriend would "regret."
According to the report, Crawford arrived at the store at 12:14 p.m. carrying a Stanley cup, a notebook, and a portable phone charger. She told a sales associate she was "doing research" and would need "the entire wall to herself for a few hours."
Staff say Crawford:
- Began on the niche fragrance side and worked her way left in alphabetical order
- Sprayed each scent on a different body part — wrists, neck, behind the knees, inside the elbows
- Took notes in her notebook under columns labeled "REGRET LEVEL" and "MAKE HIM CRY"
- Asked the consultant whether any of them smelled "like the woman he should have stayed with"
- Reapplied a previous fragrance, declared "this one is closer," and started over
- Drank a full Celsius energy drink at the counter at hour three
- Plugged her phone into the testing station's outlet
- Performed a slow lap of the store at hour four "to let them settle"
- Returned to the counter at hour five and demanded a "scent consultation specialist"
By hour six, customers had reportedly stopped approaching the fragrance wall entirely. One sales associate told police, "she had a strategy. We could not interrupt it."
Fulton County deputy Marcellus Whittaker confirmed the arrest. "She did not steal anything. She did not yell. She simply refused to stop. She was on perfume number 84 when we arrived, and she asked if we could 'wait twelve minutes for the cedar to come through.'"
Crawford allegedly told deputies she had "narrowed it down to seven finalists" and that her ex "wouldn't know what hit him." She was charged with criminal trespass.
