I paralyzed a coworker today
 

Pallet of 50 40lbs bags fell on him. I dug him out and held his head til the ambulance arrived. He wasn't very lucid. Body was shaking like a fish out of water. He didn't know what happened. Was bleeding from his ears. I almost cried once the damage control was handled. Interesting day. Taking lunch at nearby Mexican spot. Got chicken quesadillas. Gonna go see him at the hospital after work. Gonna have to talk to his wife.

lmao pics

You need to suck him.

why do you have to specify that the spot is mexican

you some kind of asshole

You're bad at driving a forklift.

Atleast he isn't in pain.

He will get paid to stay home now , he may be appreciative

Yeah, what Hush said.

If his wife looks looks good though he's probably going to hate you.

"welcome to Costco....I love you".

lmao @ comments, hope the dude is good, if he's paralyzed that's fucked up yo

Peen

R u fucking retarded? Bleeding from ears is a tell tale sign of a fractured skull. Yeah he in hospital right now saying thnx for the broken dome singing praises to Jesus.

I think he was joking tbh.

That's insane..
Elaborate on how it happened.

youre probably gonna be fired for unsafety. LMAO

Internet is srs bzns

hello OSHA!

Tell him to break you off when he sue

My forklift skills are respectable. This kid knew the stakes when he tried holding the 2,000lbs pallet up, and should have had better survival instincts (dive out the way), instead of thinking he could hold the pallet up when it started to lean.

He's black.

You probably prevented multiple crimes tbh.

oh its not your fault then, wtf? was it on a shelve? that shits impossible. three diodes butt naked and pancake+masaii cant even lift that up

I was given a medal for my quick response and calm demeanor under pressure. My coworkers carried me away on their shoulders like a hero. I saved a life today. Dug him out of the bags like a buried miner and applied first aid safety I learned from cable television. He's being painted as young and dumb; thinking he's immortal and can hold 2,000lbs up.

The last guy who held his position here quit, was admitted to a psych ward, checked himself out and then blew his brains out 3 days later. His funeral was last Friday.

that was pretty funny dude :)

I used to drive a forklift. 2 years.

Never paralyzed anybody.

My questionaire for whether someone is good at driving a forklift:

1. Have you paralyzed someone while on a forklift? Y/N

Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.

The pallet was double stacked on another pallet due to a lack of space caused by a work related war between two of the managers. The pallet that fell on him was leaned hard and he couldn't get the forks under it, so he called me to come and help him. He had the bright idea of pushing the bags to even out the pallet, when I pulled the forks out (which he had previously stuck there) the weight the forks were holding caused the pallet to tilt. There was time to jump out of the way, when I yelled, 'MOVE! MOVE!' He apparently thought he could hold it up? I don't know, because he's dead (not really... yet).

lolol

Define 'have you' would be my written answer on the side in parenthesis.

What do u mean by that?

Yes it was.

I joke tho, I am fond of le blacks.

I also operated a forklift for 5+ years and never paralyzed anyone. And I worked in a lumber yard stacking and unstacking 25-30 foot bundles of lumber about 2k-5k+ pounds 20-30 ft in the air.

You must really suck at driving one.

your cavalier attitude towards this grave incident has traumatized me.
i hope this really happened, cut it's not cool to joke about it.

You'd rather someone actually be paralyzed then for him to joke about something that never happened?

lol

Why isn't it cool to joke about?

Anything is cool to joke about....cuz it's a joke.

A lot of people, like me, automatically resort to jokes as a coping mechanism.

Agreed.

Nothing dull boy can do now. What are we, 12? People are paralyzed by forklifts every day in Africa and you don't say shit.

hoping it wasn't a joke was in fact also a joke.
Vulgar did you just "signature-slap" me? Lol.
They have that technology in Africa pancake?

Your sarcasm needs work.

I did sense the joke, but it wasn't a good one.
