It's good to have a sense of scale.



She definitely shouldn't have been doing the ladder shuffle but if you've never worked in retail or the trades: do you have any idea what it takes to get a company to replace a ladder? They don't understand; they bought a ladder already, and you can use it. Fifteen years of the ladder shuffle by Jenny? Irrelevant. The ladder currently exists so we don't need another one. We have the ladder.

I feel like it would've taken *less* time and energy to just step off of it entirely and move it properly. The dumbass shuffle is more exertion for less distance traveled.

The step ladder probably is rated to support her weight (barely)

I think this is a wildly inaccurate assumption about that person's weight and the safety factor of metal constructions

The ladder was probably fine as built, more likely it was just worn / damaged in a way that drastically reduced its capacity

When in doubt, err on the side of Awesome!

As a person of generous carriage I had to go out of my way to find a sturdy step ladder because most of the aluminum step ladders at the hardware store are rated for 275-300lbs. That's for both whoever is using the ladder and anything they're carrying.

That being said she doesn't look that heavy but I guarantee this isn't a new ladder and there's no way this is the first time someone has decided to scoot across the floor like a dipshit on the thing.

It's hard to judge her height to guess her weight, but she seems very practiced in doing that shuffle maneuver. I suspect she's done it a bunch and this was just the day that the ladder gave out.

More personal schad:

Tried to go out to get groceries, and immediately slipped on the mirror smooth sheet of ice covering the entire front of the building. Didn't hurt myself, but did tear the crotch of my pants wide open. And because I'm dirt poor, they were my only intact pair of outdoor pants, so now I'll have to go out wearing some ratty old track pants. It's not a style/fashion issue, I just hate doing it because it makes me feel underdressed, like I'm in public only wearing long johns or someshit.

Maybe this would've been better in the first world problems thread, idk

Place I used to work for "sold" (intercompany transfer) products we produced to our belgian holding and logistics centre as stock entirely so in three years they'd be written off as a tax writeoff. This was going on for like two years before I left.

I appreciate the thought a lot (and I already received a PM earlier offering to help), but I should be able to get a new pair, which I was kinda due for anyways since these were already pretty worn out. But thanks.

Imagine how stupid the average person is. Half the world is stupider than that.

I've heard this expression a lot, but the one that gets me is that it is "impossible to build a bear-proof trashcan". That there is enough of a ven diagram overlap between people and bears, that a trashcan that can defeat the smartest bear, will also defeat the stupidest person. It's both funny and holy-gently caress facepalm because the more you think about it, the stupider the stupidest person becomes.

I have a long history of tearing the crotch out of my pants while visiting foreign countries. I'm at the point where I will only get into cars like an old person with hip issues (i.e. sit down sideways and spin).

What's the weight rating on that ladder? 20kg?

Looked way too frail for any adult to be using, let alone a large one.

They should teach ladder safety in schools, like to everyone, not just shop class.

Since we're already bleeding into OSHA territory: Every ladder made conforms to a standard, and everything you could want to know about ladder standards is here. tldr is that that ladder is probably rated for 200lbs, or 225 if you assume that the liquor store didn't completely cheap out (lol). Being generous and assuming the ladder was rated for that woman's weight, it still isn't designed to be shuffled across the floor. Ladders are made of cheap stamped aluminum or maybe fiberglass, and are only strong in exactly one way. So rolling the dice each time she's done it, and the prize is a broken hip.

*kills an employee, sends memo about the ladder shuffle being a fireable offense*

Where I work if I found a ladder that was even a little suspect I would destroy it myself, throw it in the dumpster, and order a new one, and no one would bat an eye. One of the perks of being union labour I guess.


I would love to have the kind of confidence it would take to test fire a shoddily home made rocket straight at my balls.
