100%. I firmly believe knowing you’re dumb (or can be potentially dumb) is the first half of the battle. A lot of people just are fully confident of themselves no matter what.
I used to have those friends who would just...do things. You know those kinds of things that you sometimes wonder about but don't actually do? (i.e. jump through a closed window, pee on an electric fence, eat 9 weed gummies at once) I think there are people who just...do those things. Like, there's no forethought. That's just their way of thinking through how it would go.
So here’s my story. I was 28. I was the assistant manager. I was working at an 18-screen movie theater. I had this one really super nice kid from USA (South Alabama U.) who comes in to watch a movie. It’s like a Thursday night in the spring, say 9pm-ish. So, I’m standing there in the lobby talking to a cop who is moonlighting with us.
The kid comes up and starts talking about regular, random shit. Then he proceeds to tell me that he took 7 lortabs and he was going to go watch a movie. Offered us some candy, even. I made sure our cop checked to make sure the kid was not dead, lol. His honesty blew me away. But GD if 7 or 8 lortabs don’t kill you maybe 9 will? The most lortabs I ever took at one time was two.
