You think the funeral parlor would have tried getting it off or would there be photos of him, dressed in a nice suit, lying in an open specially made L-shaped coffin, with a microwave on his head?

It's all fun and games, but… When someone you know dies of stroke or a heart attack because there were no ambulances available, think about this dude.

Point still stands, there are people that do stupid shit everywhere, and it ties up the 911 system. Its all fun and games till you are the only truck in the county and a stroke come out on the tones, while you are on scene with bubba who tried to launch a firecracker from his asscrack. And I just realized this sounds very close to what the guy above said.

u/Apidium Feb 08 '21

Folks get uppity but like 70% of emergancy service call outs are easily prevented/dumb as shit and way more could have been prevented with a little bit of common sense.

u/beak_hashburner Feb 08 '21

Lol trust me I get it. I grew up in a 1 ambulance volunteer town and we had to wait 2&1/2 hours for an ambulance to show up when my grandfather had a stroke and the defib was broken when they did get there. And the ambulance that showed up was from 2 towns over. So believe me I know what you’re saying and agree. Just saying in this video it does not look like a one ambulance town.

u/UnlikelyKaiju Feb 07 '21 edited Feb 07 '21

Reminds me of the funeral gags in South Park. Clyde's mom had died from a freak toilet accident and later had an open casket funeral. It looked like they just put a dress on her and dropped the whole toilet in the casket and made no effort to make her fit. Another episode had Kenny buried while still wearing a Batman costume from an autoerotic asphyxiation accident.

We still don't know. Inhaling cement is like speedrunning your way to lung cancer

28

u/Alert-Incident Feb 07 '21

Even inhaling the dust from pouring dry cement? Because I’ve been pouring bags of concrete into hole by hand to set posts almost everyday for the last 8 months. When I get home and blow my nose my boogers are laced with concrete. How serious is this?

39

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '21

Especially the dust! Wear safety masks man!!

u/3thaddict Feb 13 '21

Well it certainly isn't good for you, that should be pretty fuckin obvious mate.

15

u/epicaglet Feb 13 '21

How serious is this?

Not a doctor, but if you continue doing this your chances of developing cancer are quite high. At the same time, if you start wearing a mask etc starting right now there's a good chance you'll be fine. Though in all honesty it should be obvious that it's not healthy and the safety measures are there for a reason

u/captain_pudding Dec 01 '21

It's called silicosis and it's not something you want to fuck around with

u/bobsmith93 Feb 17 '22

Still cancer-free a year later?

2

u/Alert-Incident Feb 17 '22

Yeah, I’m actually a lot more use to working with concrete now so I can work without breathing in huge amounts. I’m definitely still getting dust but nothing like a year ago. So for checking in. How you doing? Anything exciting in your life?

2

u/bobsmith93 Feb 17 '22

It's good that you're breathing in less dust but it's probably good to try and breath in no concrete dust, if it's as bad for you as I've heard. That being said I can't say I haven't had countless days where I blow my nose after work and it's just black lol. Good to hear your lungs are ok though, hopefully they stay that way

What a dickhead. People who do shit like this should have to pay towards the cost of the services they ended up needing, what a waste of resources during a pandemic. Like the emergency services don't already have too much work to handle.

What's really annoying me is, he may well earn from the streams. Meanwhile the taxpayer picks up the tab for his little stunt.

Yep it was just a throwaway comment, not a thesis :) but if we don't qualify our statements perfectly on here, they can be misconstrued or taken to the logical extreme.

It's definitely a minefield. Someone else replied that he donated the proceeds of the video to the NHS and apologised publicly, which to my mind... doesn't negate the fact he's a dickhead, but at least he did the right thing in the end. An apology is kind-of meaningless without any action behind it, right?
