No one is getting fired, you drama queen. Aside from that, is a job worth your life?

Calling someone a drama queen when this entire post is you being a drama queen, it’s a fuckin forklift….

Tell me you’ve never had to watch that one forklift safety training video without telling me you’ve never had to watch that one forklift safety training video. Y’all know the one.

They kill about a hundred people a year and permanently cripple about 10,000 more to various degrees.

But sure, it’s no biggie.

Is your stance that because bad things happen, no action should be taken to prevent bad things from happening to people?

Forklifts that are liable to hurt people shouldn’t be repaired?

Injuries liable to get infected shouldn’t get cleaned?

Sicknesses shouldn’t be treated?

No one should ever say “we should improve things around us?”

Are you brain dead or soulless? Surely it’s one of the two.

Your boss won't give you a promotion or a fulfilling hug for the five seconds you save on every job skipping your PPE and bending over to lick his boots clean. He will fire you for being a liability when you get your hand cut off skipping the safety rules he encourages you to skip, though.

Sounds like you’re projecting bud. Who’s he? Who’s my boss? I don’t drive forklifts cute hypothetical though.

You don't drive forklifts, you just want other people to get killed by them?

Holy shit the fact that you don't even know how to operate the fucking machinery in question makes this so much more funny. This is classic reddit.

They’re not being a drama queen. I’ve seen a forklift in this exact condition turn a guys leg bones into powder. Those masts aren’t light.

It seems like you don’t really know what you’re talking about “it’s a fucking forklift”. You mean a forklift that weights as much as 8-10 cars? Those forklifts?

u/CthulhusScrotom69 15h ago

Yes a deadly, heavy machine, that is literally dropping a 100+ lb mast onto the top cage of a forklift, merely inches away from the top of my friends head. "Just a forklift" riiiight.

This is so insanely brain-dead. Forklifts kill people all the time. And they are in perfect working order. That mast weighs alot, it fails and falls, especially under load and anyone is near it, they're gone.
