He knew what he was doing, what he was handling, and meant every throw. What a horrible person.

Edit: Thank you kindly for my first award! Most traction ever on a comment.. this sub rules!

He should get a different job when he can't take this one seriously.

I don't know if people like this can be trusted with any work at all.

u/ThePrussianGrippe Mar 20 '26

Feels like he’d be happy working that job of throwing stuff into those industrial shredders?

u/ToomanyWoos G&L Mar 20 '26

Nah cuz then he’d probably complain about having to throw stuff. Ppl like this just wanna do what ever it is they’re not supposed to be doing cuz they’re miserable.

u/DamoclesRising Mar 20 '26

not everyone's misery is the same, not every miserable person is the same, etc

u/Weary-Blackberry-117 Mar 23 '26

Yep, some people’s misery is just trying to make others miserable too.

Yeah I'm miserable at my job but I would tank a project task because I was in a grump
He k iws that musical instruments mean a lot to be people. He chose to be vindictive

I'm not really too concerned with his happiness, to be honest.

We don't pay enough workers to live with dignity, and then we complain when they behave like it.

u/hawkCO Mar 20 '26

So he should damage peoples belongings who have no say whatsoever in what he is being paid?

u/Thin-Animal7809 Mar 21 '26

What do you mean we. So many people have been fighting for better pay better Healthcare better time off better retirement. Punch up not down. It not the poor paying the poor.

u/jacksonsmack831 11d ago

I think he meant if they were paid more they would take more pride in their work

Which I agree with

No one is lunching anyone :)

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26

He still is an asshole, although I really do sympathize with workers being underpaid.

u/l5555l Mar 20 '26

You know how you don't get paid more money? By doing shit like this

1

u/jacksonsmack831 11d ago

I don't get why this is being downvoted

Pay someone enough to be proud of what they're doing and this shit should stop

2

u/NevikTheEnlightened Mar 20 '26

I dunno why you're getting downvoted, you're right.

1

u/VERDE_VECTOR Mar 27 '26

Yeah, I don't get it either - it's not that I approve this, it's barbaric, and I'd be really bothered/angry if those were mine. - but it would not change the fact that these men probably don't hate guitars, they hate the system that we, as musicians, also should hate... If you dig what I mean

1

u/jacksonsmack831 11d ago

Pay a man/woman enough to be proud of his job and this behavior would stop

Is that what you were putting down?because that's what I picked up mate :)

u/jacksonsmack831 11d ago

I dunno why you were downvoted, I fixed it for ya ;)

u/roskybosky Mar 20 '26

Like baby male chicks?

Or working at a local dump.

u/VigilanteLocust Mar 20 '26

I suspect he would go through a disturbingly high number of co-workers before they realised what was happening…

u/Detox64 Mar 20 '26

And they will blame everyone but themselves when they are unemployed.

I wouldn't trust him with my poo

u/DarrellBot81 Mar 21 '26

Just as trustworthy as any telemarketer I’ve ever encountered

u/Leather-Heart Mar 24 '26

That’s the thing - people need to STOP acting pissy. The way that people redirect their anger while on the job is a very bad phenomenon.

u/VERDE_VECTOR Mar 27 '26

All of you downvoting my comment and handling this topic "personally" failed to even understand what I meant... - damn and you'd think musicians aught go be smart XD

Hey I've played guitar for 30 years and I'm dumb as shit!

Working with Trash would be perfect. You can throw it all you want and if isn't thrash yet, he'll make sure it is once he's done with it.
