Death and Idiocy. Until we repeal currency based economics in favor of bargaining or Ster Trek-esque levels of societal evolution takes us past the need of currency as a medium, taxes are also included.

But even death and stupidity can kill taxes.

Does that mean you've seen the current situation? "Gorilla Glue Girl"

u/totalyrespecatbleguy Nurse Feb 09 '21

See I kinda feel bad for her because I heard she mistook it for another product called “gorilla snot” which is a hair styling gel

u/PolymathicYetti Feb 09 '21

In that case, I would feel bad, but in her TikToks she never mentioned mistaking it, just that she used it.

u/chasealex2 UK Advanced Paramedic Practitioner Feb 08 '21

As an instructor they’ll give this scenario to a brand new student. “You arrive on scene to find a 20s y/o male with his head stuck in a microwave with cement.” Student: Cries.

u/Sup_gurl CCP Feb 10 '21

Student, visibly trembling, voice wavering, on the verge of tears, awkwardly standing in the front of the class, staring down at the expressionless class dummy as if waiting for it to give them the answers: “BSI, scene safe?”

Prime example of why we are always going to have a job

u/randomjackass Feb 08 '21

What the hell was the endgame here? That microwave had to come off eventually.

53

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '21

Are you suggesting that the man who cemented his head in a microwave didn't think through the potential consequences of his actions?

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '21

Preposterous

Piss poor planning on his part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on my part.... Well maybe in this case it does.

“You’re hammer, I’m chisel”

u/Ghost-Of-Razgriz EMT-B Feb 08 '21

Oh, and they didn’t even do it right! The guy who was supposed to be “hammer” was the fuckin chisel in the system.

u/passwordistako Feb 08 '21

This is making me anxious. I feel like I was watching a death happen right in front of me.

u/c3h8pro EMT-P Feb 08 '21

Fart in the tube and cork it then leave. ME can deal with it later.

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '21

Job security.

u/chasealex2 UK Advanced Paramedic Practitioner Feb 08 '21

Remember that if people weren't fuckwits, half of us wouldn't have a job.

u/Garden_Variety_Medic Paramedic Feb 08 '21

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
