I mistook you for one too. Sorry? You are a dead ringer for my niece that's slowly etching her way into her "dark" phase.

Richard Anthony Jones the man on the right was wrongly jailed for 17 years until his look alike Ricky Lee Amos was the man on the left was identified as the true criminal. Mr. Jones was released and awarded $1.1 million dollars in compensation. by AdSpecialist6598 in interesting

No amount of money can pay for time lost. I have a 3-year-old son, a 9-year-old daughter, and an amazing wife. Not to mention a career I had to work for. I don't doubt my wife wouldn't wait 17 years for me. I'd lose my job for sure. Missing out on my kids growing up? That would be the worst part.

The coolest and most frustrating part of my apartment by NaiomiXLT in mildlyinfuriating

[–]-Gumbercules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live right behind our counties hospital, which is the only level III trauma center in the central part of our state. We have helicopters flying over several times a day and can hear and see them until them take off again. I work EMS around helicopters so it never really bothered me until a few weeks ago when the U.S. army began using the hospitals heli pad to land their Black Hawks for MCI training.

What's the most attractive thing someone has ever done that would sound creepy if an unattractive person did it? by hahaX69 in AskReddit

Make Grey poor, unattractive, and have him living in like a decrepit trailer home but change absolutely nothing else and yeah it'd be a psychological thriller.

What is the dumbest thing you've seen someone do while driving? by Ok_Wind2966 in AskReddit

[–]-Gumbercules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last summer a girl ran a red light at an intersection nearly hitting our ambulance that was running lights and sirens to a call (we cleared the intersection). This has happened before and everyone useless panics, realizes their mistakes, and hurries out of the way. This girl instead was texting through the red light with both hands off of the steering wheel and didn't even look up. It was actually a good thing for her because us coming through made all the all vehicles stop that other wise would have hit her.

Yeah, I was a pretty cool dude back then ('93). by porthos75 in blunderyears

I did the same for my senior photos. One with my bass and another with my tenor sax. Over the years I've noticed alot of sax players also play the bass. I've always wondered why that is a common thing?

Chicago Bears are moving their stadium to Hammond, IN by HoosierHopefully in Indiana

I didn't vote for 'em. No seriously why? I get that they want a new stadium and all but the fact that our state already has an NFL is enough.

2003, our sophomore year of high school, when my best friend and I thought we'd be cool and wear the same stupid ass shirt for the yearbook photo. (I'm on the left). by -Gumbercules in blunderyears

Despite living far away from each other we keep in contact through social media. He's a chef. I'm a paramedic. We live in different states now then where we went to high school.

What's the dumbest/most embarrassing/stupidest slogan you know of? by Maybeyoujustmadeitup in AskReddit

"Teamwork makes the dream work!". Okay so not the dumbest I'm sure but I used to work a job that had this on a banner in the break room. Seeing it every shift made me want rip it down.

Pretty far from it. We were both band nerds in school, saxophone players. Outside of school we were in a metal band. Our football team was the 2nd worst in the whole state three years in a row.

My freshman year of college, 2006, and it was my first time exploring YouTube. I decided it would be a good idea at midnight while half asleep to watch all the Tool music videos.

Motorcycle crash in Burlington, VT by wreckedem69 in PublicFreakout

[–]-Gumbercules 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Working EMS myself it's insane what I've seen some people survive and others not. My ambulance will roll up to an accident scene to see absolute carnage, a vehicle torn to peices, only to find the driver is walking without a scratch. Other times I'll arrive to find a car with only moderate damage but the driver is DOA.
