Open the Muggy Gate Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Cause right now, I'm on crutches. Last night at the go-kart area of our big entertainment center I work at, I was pushing a cart up in the pit area, the carts were coming back in. I had gotten the people in the incoming carts to stop so I could push one up to make room for the rest... and apparently someone didn't understand the word stop or how to use the fucking brakes. Cause he comes barreling into the pits and runs right over my right foot right behind me. He said the brakes were out later.. but from the looks of it, he was still holding the gas while he was doing that, because the brakes looked fine to me. The foot gets stuck there and it just absolutely hurt like a son of a bitch as I just lay there screaming "OH SHIT SHIT SHIT". While I was laying there in pain, a woman walked up to me and asked if I wouldn't cuss in front of her kids. Uh... I'm on the ground and just got my foot ran over woman. That's the last thing I'm thinking about right now. The doctor says it's amazing nothing broke. It's just a contusion, lots of swelling, and constant pain. I can't put any pressure on it. I can't drive or walk or alot of other stuff... shit... it sucks. I'll have to wait and see how long it takes for this to heal. Oh yeah... and the fucktard that ran over my foot wanted to compensate for everything.... so he got me a coke. Yeah... he runs over my foot, says he's sorry and gives me a coke. Just... wow... So I turn 20 tomorrow hobbling around on one leg with crutches. YAY...
Ripper Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Why can't you shit? What does that have to do with your foot.

tekcop Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 You work at a fucking bowling alley, how the fuck do you keep getting hurt there?
Open the Muggy Gate Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Posted August 4, 2005 Well it's a combination bowling alley/go-kart track/dance club/bar/skating rink. I've seen mechanics in the back that work on the bowling machines get hurt. I know one guy who broke his arm in the go-karts in some freak accident and threatened to sue the place if they ever fired him (he quit yesterday). And this is really the first time I've gotten hurt there. You'll get knicks, cuts, and scrapes, the usual shit down there working the carts. You don't expect to get run over though.
tekcop Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 The oven conveyor suddenly stopped in the middle of a rush yesterday. I burnt myself many times trying to get it working again. My story's better than yours.
JJ Johnson Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Am I the only one who, if that "don't swear in front of my kids lady" approached me, would have let loose with every expletive I could think of?
Slayer Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 "Let's break your foot and see how reserved you are!"

I burnt myself many times trying to get it working again. My story's better than yours. Yep. Am I the only one who, if that "don't swear in front of my kids lady" approached me, would have let loose with every expletive I could think of? Well, I'm usually a calm guy. I don't normally cuss like a sailor... but fuck that hurt and I was just going SHIT FUCK SHIT FUCK SHIT GET THE DAMN CART OFF SHIT... I didn't feel like cussing out a customer and getting my ass fired. Just some things ya have to think about for a moment and I did in that case. It's funny, cause I usually don't think before I speak and that's always been a problem of mine... but in this case, I did. Go figure. Demand workman's comp. Got it. They are paying for everything.
snuffbox Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 The Brightside - It didnt happen the day before your 21st. Hobbling about town would be even more difficult on crutches.
IllustriousOne Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 You're a day younger than me. That must mean you're awesome.
Youth N Asia Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Well...now MY birthday is going to suck tomorrow...how about that
kkktookmybabyaway Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Just be glad nothing was broken. And if makes you feel any better, I stayed home on my 21st birthday because I didn't have the wisdom to have a backup plan in case my first plan fell through...
Matt Young Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Damn Matt, that sucks. I somehow missed this post before. Hopefully my comment on MySpace cheered you up. Haha, probably not. But I hope you recover quickly. I've never broken anything, but I've heard that sprains are often more painful than breaks. I know that when I sprained my ankle, it was excruciating when I put any weight on it. Did you actually sprain anything, or was it "just" a contusion?
tekcop Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Today, in my quest to one-up Muggy, a co-worker with and I where acting like imbeciles at work today and I ended up with a huge hole in my thumb thanks to a hole puncher. I tried to take pictures but my camera sucks and it just looks like I marked myself with a red marker.
Matt Young Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Jesus Christ, that has to hurt. I got a staple in my thumb when I was about 5 and that wasn't too pleasant. Thumb injuries also=no video games, another downside.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 About a month a go, this kid at work got a toe mashed off (bluntly amputated, basically) between a runner-type forklift and a metal rack. Fucked his shit up hard. Plus he was stoned so he got fired and comp isn't paying a dime.
