Now that i think about my first job was fucking wild.

My buddy was in a forklift taking some stock down and i was spotting, basically just hanging out and making sure no one got in the way. A few minutes after the normal time it'd take he thinks something is wrong and calls me to take a look (from afar) to see how fucked we are; the answer was very, the pallet was barely holding together at all, but i couldn't see a damn thing from my position. Before i could get back to spotting we heard a loud crack and the world went still, i imagine for much longer by him, and not a second later we had hundreds of pounds of foul smelling mulch everywhere.

I had a lot more there too; babysitting an old man that looked on the verge of death with no management anywhere to be found, moving hundreds of pounds at a time by hand, dealing with the best conspiracy theorist ever.

I've been bored everywhere else I've ever worked.

There's something about physical labor jobs that result in everybody having one story about babysitting somebody who is actively dying

what do you mean, the best conspiracy theorist ??

Turns out the world is flat. And under a dome. And Jesus is on top of the dome. And aliens have visited us in the dome. And so much more.

wow ! I knew the world was flat and under a dome, but I had no idea Jesus was literally on top. Thanks for completing my world view ๐Ÿ˜‚ I've had crazy exchanges with some of these people but I have yet to meet any IRL. I guess they don't hang out where I live
