I'm sick of it. It's rediculous. Because a couple of people fell over at work and sued their bosses for millions nobody is even allowed to leave their bag in a hallway or an aisle. Who are these judges that are justifying people's stupidity. In the UK and I have it on authority, america too, we are overloaded with adverts

"Have YOU had a bad fall at work? YOU could be entitled to compensation."

Well unless the bad fall was because you were pushed over by your boss on purpose. FUCK YOU. Look where the hell you're going and be a fucking man about it when you fuck up.

Because of this degeneration of society into suing monkeys who can't take responsibility for themselves we have what happened to me yesterday:

My sister somehow managed to drop her phone under the train just as we were getting on. We had to get off and wait until it left the station. The guy who was waving the train off saw the whole thing.

"Hey can we get this phone back?"
"Yeah I'll just call somebody."

I didn't really mind at first. I mean this was the last stop on the line. You could see the train that had left disappearing into the distance. Nothing could come from the right, clearly there was nothing for miles to the left. The phone was less than three feet away... but we couldn't just jump down a couple of feet and pick the phone up... Nobody was coming after a good five minutes so I enquired

"Are the lines electric or something?"
"No. Just need the right guy to get it."
"Oh..."

Nobody came for another five mintues. I'm standing here with a fully clued up employee. Two adult men. Standing two feet from the phone. Picking it up is about as taxing as crossing a road. If you can credit somebody with the self-awareness to cross a road then you could have picked up this phone but no. We can't.

"So is this guy specially trained at looking left and right?"

The guy wasn't amused and we waited. Eventually the guy came. He was dressed in the same orange top and looked bored out of his mind. He was fatter than both of us. He just hopped down and handed the phone to us. Then he stood back up on the platform.

"Ahhhh" I thought "Now I know why he had to do that."

Except I'm lying. I have no fucking idea. I'll tell you what it is. RETARDED. And I'm not even annoyed at this guy. Just the situation and where we'er at as people. It pisses me off so much. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO JUMP DOWN AND GET THE PHONE AND IF I GET HIT THAT'S MY OWN FUCKING PROBLEM.

........

Anyone?

This made me giggle, and also has a ring of truth about it. If one an adult, one can make decisions. One doesn't need a fat man in a suit to go into a not-as-dangerous-as-it-seems situation and solve all of one's problems.

Eh, I spent most of the day rewiring plugs at work because they all failed health and safety regs and I'm a mechanic.

Argh. My university insisted that every single plug in my room last year was independently checked unless it had a warranty that it was less than a year old. Probably because in the last year 2 people in a population of 65 million had got into trouble with some bad wiring. I think checking plug saftey is fine but it should be up to the person who is living with the plugs to get them checked IF THEY WANT. Stuipd stupid uni. And they'd have rediculous fire drills which told people nothing. They'd get everyone up at 7am in their nighties and boxers all outside in the cold while they ticked people off on a registrar. It meant nothing cause it was unannounced and loads of people would not be in their rooms cause they'd scored that night or they'd gone home cause they didn't have lectures or whatever.

It served NO PURPOSE. but they are required to do it by law. :/

People are stupid.
I have to deal with these stupid cows every single day because California has so many of them. Now a days I can't go anywhere without having my bag being searched and or being harassed by security guards/ cops.

oy.. sad but oh, so familiar. you know, falling lawsuits are not the worst. its the ones with people spilling hot coffee on themselves and then winning the lawsuit, or laundromats, forced to put up the signs that driers are for inanimate objects only, becasue some idiot killed her dog, while drying it off in a laundry drier!

Yeah. On a slight tangent but still on theme I get so sick of all the terror warnings. "Warning. Do not leave your bags unattended. They will be destroyed" blah blah blah. Let's be honest. If somebody is prepared to blow themselves up you're not gonna be able to stop them however much you watch for 'unattended bags'. It's a big scary world and you can't be 100% safe so let's take the risks as what makes life what it is and stop wrapping society up in bubble-fucking-wrap

Hahahhahahah. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Didn't that mum sue macdonalds for making her son fat? Jesus fucking christ. I mean I hate macdonalds but where is the shame. Where is the embarassment. Bitch... YOU ARE A BAD MOTHER... Take some responsibility and go to hell...
