when i was a kid my ma told me to work hard in school or else i'd end up a garbage man
look at me now, i got an office i barely see where i gotta make small talk and expense reports and casual workplace relationships i gotta maintain with banal smalltalk
while the garbage man has city government tier benefits with respectable pay, a job working outdoors with physical exertion to keep their body strong and can make anything they want vanish into the abyss of the municipal waste system never to be seen again
@Paultron-3030 @Christmassy Merry Dude @Hoss “Cyber Santa” Delgado when I was going to rehab there was a guy there who was there because he lost the big toe on his left foot because he was a garbage man and the truck hit a particularly big bump in the road and his foot got caught between the platform and the road.
big toes suck to break or lose too since they're doing 90% of the balancing on that foot
you can lose all the little ones and still be doing fine compared to hurting the one big metatarsal
It's like losing your thumb vs losing your ring finger.
knew a guy in the army who was missing his big toe. hunting accident or some such
had to wear a prosthetic because boots don't work so well otherwise
The mother of all toe stubbings.
