It got ran over at work today. The toe its self MIGHT be broken, but the nail is cracked and its swollen up really badly.

Apparently they were supposed to provide me with training on the machines I was going to use and steal toed shoes or boots.

Guess what DIDN'T happen? Well, I get tomorrow off with pay and if its broken I'll get a little bit longer. Hopefuly its not, I just started there.

I am honestly an accident waiting to happen. This **** always seems to happen to me, its not fair

you know, training or no training, isn't preventing your foot from getting run over just common sense?

Not when your learning to steer this thing. Trust me, the controls on this ****ing thing are messed up. It doesn't work properly and the fact I didn't know it cornered so sharply was the direct reason it happend.

Well, that and the fact I seem to attract **** like this. I always end up getting injuried thru my or other peoples stupidity

See if you can put your stump in your mouth(or any other orifice). It might help ease the agony.

Yeah


I was trying to get it into a tight space to lift a set of tvs of the top shelf. It turned too fast so I had to back it up. I didn't have enough room to use the full length of the handle and I didn't know it was dangerous to operate it from that close (again, I was told to use it without being trained which the store manager told me later shouldn't of happend)

I started backing it up and didn't realize how tight it actually cornered. I thought I had plenty of room and I didn't.

Thats it

How heavy is it? If it is too heavy steal toes are a bad idea, it could bend the steal down and cut off your toes.....

HAHAHA How you run over your foot with a lift? HAHAHAHHAHA

"Apparently they were supposed to provide me with training on the machines "

Now I know why there's warning lables on duct tape and hair spray.

One time me and my friend duct taped his little brother to the tree in his front yard. When we ripped the tape off his head it took his eyebrows clean off. Good times.....

Somehow, I doubt this is along those kinds of lines
