My girlfriend's dad once got drunk and when he got angry at her, he just started hurling her things into a bonfire in the backyard.

Parents who destroy or throw out their kids' possessions as punishment are pretty awful and usually doing absolutely nothing to make their kid more respectful and responsible.

I also agree that parents shouldn't get drunk and throw things into a fire in an impotent drunken rage but I feel like your example may be an outlier my dude.

Intentionally pissing kids off and acting like assholes is a pretty bad way to teach respect and responsibility, but it DOES teach parents some respect once the kid gets old enough to realize that they can throw their parents' poo poo away too.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH
Life Hack. Don't ever do anything that "Crazy Russian Hacker" does.

I showed her the video with the Sulfuric Acid and the sponge. She turned her head away expecting severe injury. She works with many acids and bases throughout her day. She had a team member that quit due to PTSD from screwing up several times while mixing bases. He had to be rushed to the hospital on 2 occasions (to be fair, he was incompetent) . She stopped wearing her wedding ring for safety. A little tiny spill of H2SO4 can burn you and you won't know it until it's already done it's damage. She changes her gloves every few minutes but she still has gotten some under the ring in the past. I told her to stop wearing the ring.

His hands are bare! What the gently caress! He wasn't under a hood, no respirator, and insufficient eye protection. If he had poured that bottle into a 5 gallon bucket and then poured the water on top, he would be blind. That guy must have a guardian angel.

If you live in a hot and humid place, it's even nicer when you're freshly clean and you slip under some nice cotton sheets that have been on the bed long enough that they're a little cooler than the room.

A friend of my parents several years ago was an electrician, and he got his wedding ring tattooed onto him so he could wear it without risking shorting it across anything. And then he wound up getting divorced.

LIFEHACK: Mark your wedding ring permanently on your body so that divorce is even more painful than normal.

I worked at a couple places before that have bulk tanks of ~97% sulfuric acid. Both would get leaks off the pump seals sometimes. One time a rocket surgeon there stuck the tip of his finger ever so gingerly into the dribble and then decided to taste it. I don't remember the exact response since I wasn't there for that shift, but I think it was something like "Oh poo poo! It burns!" I think he was expecting sour like citric acid, but more. I don't think he works there anymore either.
