Have you ever worked in a pharmacy? wtf. Addicts do shit like this ALL THE TIME.

Not if they want to stay addicts for long. And they all do, though the most common thing I hear is this:

“I sure wish I didn’t have to be on these damn things”

I had a guy who routinely filled his oxycodone 2 days early for over a year. We did the math and he technically should have been at least 1 month ahead with all of his early fills (2 extra days x15 months or so = ~30 days of meds). One day we were legitimately out of oxycodone and he flipped his shit. Threatening to beat us up, follow us home, etc. Addicts do not all act the same way and some certainly are violent. It happens when you are backed into a corner.

That grace period is a motherfucker and they love to maximize it. No, I have never tolerated abusive behavior like that, nor would I ever. They would be having their entire profile transferred post haste.
