    I fucking live here but I’m not a doctor so nobody wants to take me. I’m exploring options from my Eastern European heritage now to try and apply for asylum in the same country that my grandfather fled almost 80 years ago.

    If my grandfather were still alive to see me attempting to flee what he fought against as a 17 year old soldier, it would absolutely make him sick to his stomach.













  • I was working at a chemical plant, and had my tow motor license for about a week. We had these garage doors that stayed closed most of the time to keep everything compartmentalized in case of a fire. I was driving along with a pallet on the forks, and some asshole spilled water and didn’t put up the wet floor sign or even attempt to clean it up.

    I hit the brakes, went sideways, and absolutely destroyed the bottom 3 panels on this garage door. The bags on the skid I was carrying ripped open and made a huge mess, but thankfully what I was carrying didn’t react to water. My manager went back and looked at the tape recording and found the guy who did it. Then he made him clean up the mess I made, and fired him when he was done. The whole thing was scary as hell.
