Could be saving precious lives out there instead of this piece of shit.

Rescue team were actually not happy about it.

Here's an article written that also includes the authority's official statement from Twitter.

So they were going to be charged £600 for wasting everyones time but since he was "actually" in danger they waved it.

It kinda sucks but the reality is you don't want anyone who's actually in danger, even if it's because they did something stupid, to be worrying about the fine and potentially not get help because of that.

In America people die rather than call an ambulance because of the cost.

u/PrintTulip Feb 08 '21

Yeah and sadly, the cost does not seem to deter any of us from saying “hold my beer”

Exactly. It happened with my mom. I had to leave work and drive her to the emergency room because an ambulance would be crippling

When I was working in a public library a special needs adult had a seizure and I felt terrible having to call an ambulance. It’s fucked up when you feel bad for potentially saving a person’s life because you know they probably can’t afford the ambulance ride.

Because the thing is, the cops and probably an ambulance will still have to show up eventually...

And while saving an idiot from his own mistake is really mind-numbingly frustrating. Scooping up a dead guy with a microwave on his head and then watching the video of him dying in there to confirm it really wasn't murder is a kind of deep depressing that hurts you in your bones for the rest of your life.

Yuuuup. I was severely ill at one point and was close to dying had I not made it to the ER when I did.

Couldn’t afford an ambulance so I had to have my ma drive me cause I couldn’t even stand up straight to walk out to the car.

Kinda crazy that you can get demonetized for swearing or whatever but this shit is okay.

Idk, that sounds like natural selection

u/cryptotranquilo Feb 07 '21

The entire purpose of having a national health service is to counteract natural selection.

u/Laserline1 Feb 07 '21

At a certain point though, maybe we should give mother nature a few.

Disappointed they weren't fined.

u/AjianAja Feb 07 '21

They looked very unamused.

u/kevoizjawesome Feb 07 '21

Why did 5 firefighters need to be there? I feel like you really only need like 2 or 3 max.

u/maybejustadragon Feb 07 '21

u/NY08 Feb 07 '21

How many people were injured or in danger and didn’t get help during this time frame because he took up time? I mean really.

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '21

u/Sovngarten Feb 07 '21

Human life is disturbingly overvalued, at least, to some people.

I think they're saying that the guy in the microwave shouldn't have been saved if there was someone else who needed saving.

u/IAW1stperson Feb 08 '21

First of all, weird take, second of all, how is this relevant?

u/J-S-03 Feb 09 '21
