the water in the sink automatically gets boiling hot to sanitize utensils, so tim s dip lasts only four minutes. so i used a little towel to cover myself up. i didn t think about this part. i didn t bring anything to dry off. the video is posted on myspace that same morning, but tim has no idea just how much of a stir his short film will create. tim s bubble bath generates hundreds of thousands of hits on the internet. he s asked to make national television appearances. all good for his music, but not good for his resume. he and his co-workers are all fired. i figured i would get fired when i did it, but when everybody else got fired, that was the part that surprised me because really no one had anything to do with it, aside from the girl that filmed it. that girl, macy, is sorry she and tim didn t edit out their other colleagues. i regret that they got in trouble or had to have anything to do with it. manager karen craig, a burger
there. tim has a show to do that night. it s also his birthday. he feels like the time is right to act on his impulse. what made that day different was it was my birthday and i was excited about the concert i was playing. i was just in the right mood. the sink was actually a good idea, it seemed at the time to me. we had just finished up all the dishes. so cleaned out the sink real good, scrubbed it, ran hot water through it. when nobody was looking, i took off all my clothes except for a little speedo and dove in the sink. then i yelled, does anybody have a video camera? it s my birthday. i figured i m feeling a little frisky, but i get a little clean. make sure i get all spiced up for you guys, make sure i m all clean for the show. you know what i m saying? behind the camera is tim s girlfriend, macy, who usually works the drive-through window. i actually keep a camera with me at all times just in case something crazy like that happens.
fortunately for tim, his 15 minutes of fame have led to more performances and more fans. everyone knows that i m so dirty his experience at burger king even inspired one of his latest songs. because i took a bubble bath in a sink at burger king trying to just run with it and make the music thing bigger and make my money through that. because i m an entertainer anyway. that s what i like to do. i like to be the center of attention anyway. coming up, there s no telling what some people will do to get out of jail when caught on camera: workplace gone wild continues.
it s 3:00 a.m. in xenia, ohio, and the staff of this burger king is closing up shop. manager karen craig is counting cash, and machines are being cleaned for the next shift. nothing out of the ordinary, except employee timothy tackett, a 25-year-old aspiring rap musician, is taking a bath. it s my birthday, and i m taking a bath in the sink at burger king. tim s been working the late shift at burger king for a year, and that utility sink has always captured his imagination. i thought about it for a couple of months. because it was big enough to fit in, that s where the whole idea ever came from. and it s got jets in it. get the jets working at the old bk. i was like that s just a stainless steel jacuzzi right
i want some eggs or some sausage biscuits, french toast sticks. the stunt is an act for tim s myspace page where fans know him as mr. unstable. macy, you should totally go get our manager and tell her that i m really in the sink. but he insists that no one else is in on the stunt before the camera starts rolling. hey, karen, he s in the sink. is that okay? do you want to come see? it s pretty funny. you can t see his penis or nothing. i hope not. everybody thought it was funny except for the manager who was still counting money. the whole time she thought we were kidding. she never imagined that i was really in the sink. i would say stuff every night, i m going to do this. and mike s like, don t do it. like i said, the sink thing, i had mentioned that three months ago. like i m going to take a bath in that sink. but everybody always brushed it off because i would say crazy stuff all the time.
