MRW Protestors playing dead in the ST keep the ambulance my sister is in from getting to the right hospital for her emergency http://imgur.com/gallery/7GaJD2p My younger sister is a tricky patient, she had her first open heart surgery at day 2 and has had 15 surgeries in the last 2 years to solve an arterial problem she now has. She has a group of specialized doctors and surgeons who know her and every medical issue she has in her records over at Boston Children’s and when she has an emergency those are really the people she should be seeing. She was taking antibiotics for a blood infection she got during her last surgery 2 weeks ago and had a sever allergic reaction to them yesterday which required her to be picked up via ambulance from her dorm. The children’s hospital is less than 3 miles from her school but the ambulance couldn’t get her there because of the amount of traffic caused by the protestors who seem to think the most effective way for them to encourage change is to block roads and major highways. Not only could she not get to the appropriate institution where the doctors are familiar with her specialized care but what should be 15 min trip for me to get to her at the ER took me an hour, and that honestly required me driving like a total rear end in a top hat. Now I understand that this is a special case and I’m not arguing whether or not these protestors are right or wrong or whether they have the right to gather because they do. However, I think the tactics they have chosen are completely dangerous not only for themselves but for everyone around them. If emergency vehicles can’t get patients where they need to be because you are blocking roads that is a problem. If people can’t get to their jobs (we all remember that guy) that is a problem. Causing chaos and severe congestion in a major city is nothing but angering and I just wish these people could find more productive and safe ways to inspire change. Rant over I just had to put that somewhere.

Each time I hear "This is gold", "You won't believe what she did", "his reaction is amazing" or any other phrase of the time I get irrationally angry behind my screen and just want to punch the author in his face. Also goddamn it this story is obviously supposed to be a dumb joke what with the nervous breakdown and all that. Why are they trying to pass this off as something that happened. Who would believe that ? Fathis Munk has a new favorite as of 08:29 on Dec 16, 2014 |

Who would believe that ? Yeah I remember seeing this joke on various humor websites in the late 90's along such other classics as the poo poo family, the guy who called another guy rear end in a top hat through the phone and made him fight a third guy and so on. poo poo was fuckin' hilarious back then because I was 10.

(I’m at my in-law’s house. Her 18-year-old son and his 8-year-old nephew are shooting darts at a painting of an elk on the wall. The 18-year-old can’t seem to hit the elk, but the 8-year-old is doing great.) Father-in-law: ”[18-year-old] can’t shoot fake elk, let alone real ones! I should take [nephew] hunting next year instead!”

What is it that makes these people so allergically averse to creating some placeholder names to help their stupid stories slightly more easily readable I guess they assume that the coy yet specific vagueness lends credibility to the story. I can't fathom why they think this. I can understand (in some cases) not wanting to include the actual name of, say, the company to which you are employed, but there's really no reason not to just come up with a placeholder name for it.

http://notalwaysworking.com/speaking-up-for-those-who-cant/33669quote:(I work in the IT office for a small distribution warehouse. Normally there’s a manager and two staff to answer calls in regards to shipping. We have a third person who does a lot of our picking and heavy lifting. He’s autistic and does not speak, instead communicating via sign language. He’s worked with the company for about seven years. We have a new manager who has taken a rather strong dislike to him because he does not speak. He never answers phones because he doesn’t talk, but is a lovely chap with whom I have the occasional conversation in broken sign. One day the phone rings.) Because obviously a CEO's brother is so poor he can't afford a smartphone with texting and thus needs to use Morse.

Whoever wrote that never tried to communicate in morse code. poo poo's slow. Over a touch tone phone with people who presumably don't do this poo poo often, you're talking like 30 characters a minute, if that. So about three and a half minutes for a tweet. Unless the guy just went SOS over and over.

Nepotism saves the day again! Couldn't the CEO have just fired the manager for being an arsehole to a disabled person, don't see why it had to be his disabled brother. Also, was anyone else picturing the CEO as Hulk Hogan?

Because why would you ever hire a disabled person unless it's your brother and you really don't have a choice. Yeah that whole part did kind of bug me too.

He's so cool because he's being loving and giving by bravely hiring the brother who can't speak. That he never got around to telling the new manager that his brother was mute is beside the point; he wears Hawaiian shirts so you know he's the good guy.
