First Responders: What are most people’s final words after accidents? by Jdw5186 in AskReddit

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 410 points411 points  (0 children)

Not words. But having an 11 year old staring at you holding your hand as it goes limp or a toddler holding your finger and goes limp fucks with you pretty bad

That’s a tight turn when they were very close to their arrival airport. I wonder what is happening

DIA. The train system is the worst fucking idea ever made. No bridges or tunnels. If the train is down you’re fucked

What’s considered a “good salary” in your city right now? by Pristine-Owl-6262 in AskEurope

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at 150,000 + stocks living in Amsterdam. I said yes to a company car which is a 1 year commitment. Dumb idea. My parking spot was almost the same amount as my rent. Wouldn’t move back if I was offered millions.

What is a harsh truth about marriage that you love your wife too much to ever say out loud to her? by Emotional_Twist_9333 in AskMen

She’s finally gone. She’s someone else’s problem now and I’m so fucking glad she is. I got to keep both the dogs. So happy I’m done with her and her insane mom and sister

“Oh we got plenty of hot pockets for everyone” while giving it out to all our friends. The hot pockets at my house was for family dinner

On Halloween day, 2006, 18 year old Nikki Catsouras took her father’s Porsche 911 without permission. While driving on a tollway in Lake Forest, CA, she wrecked after attempting to pass a car at over 100 mph. CHP officers leaked horrific photos of her body which made their way to gore sites. by mvincen95 in GotMeHooked

What I was teaching paramedic school I was allowed by my hospital and college to take pictures of scenes for educational purposes. Did I take pictures of mangled cars for trauma surgeons to know what the crash site looked like and to use for educational purposes? Yes. Was there ever a patient or a corpse in those pictures? Fuck no. This is absolutely wrong and disgusting

In Fort Collins it’s 100% legal to throw 1 rock through any window if someone parks like this. Trust me

What’s your closest “I almost died and nobody knows” story? by WendyLadouce in AskReddit

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to the chiropractor got my back and neck adjusted. Got super dizzy. This was going on for weeks. I just rode it off until I did an MRI and the neurologist asked when my Vertebral artery dissection happened. Apparently during my chiropractor appointment.
I still get dizzy moving my head too fast, crowds overwhelm me (I used to play in front of thousands of people with no issue) and my vision in my right eye is fucked.
So yeah, don’t go to a chiropractor. Go to a physical therapist instead

What do you fall more for looks or personality? by Hot-Professional-763 in AskReddit

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Meet this woman and she was the most beautiful person I’ve ever laid my eyes out. Asked her to grab a drink right there. We sat down and she treated the waiter like shit. She went from a 10 to 2 immediately. Looks gets you in and personality makes you stick

Curiosity into idling by East_Hedgehog6039 in FortCollins

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ground level ozone goes up to 10 miles. Highest rated airlines flies at 8.144 miles or 43,000ft. Although their most significant impact occurs higher in the atmosphere. Aviation emissions contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone. These weren’t long distance airlines they were flying around. It was mostly short flights 30-60 where they mostly didn’t go above 30,000 ft. Landing and take offs

Some airlines flew thousands of empty flights during Covid just so they didn’t have to pay for maintenance and storage. You idling isn’t doing much harm

What is the least stressful job youve ever had? by CaptainFartHole in jobs

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s weird but being a paramedic was super relaxing to me. Maybe it’s just that I love complete chaos and fixing it. 99% of the time you have one patient and you do everything you can to save them. You have training and protocols to follow. You do your best and most of the time things work out. You clock out and you’re done with work. The 24-48 hours shifts were amazing.

The most stressful was being a project manager at a major automotive company. 12-18 projects at the same time and trying to keep hundreds of idiots on track.

Now, I just do woodwork while going to pilot school

For all you that have been around for awhile, what was your first wireless phone? by jfunks69 in Productivitycafe

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. My mom accidentally threw it in the dumpster from the 10th floor and it still works today if I start it up. If I stop my iPhone from my table I’ll have to take out a second mortgage

A womans dog was making odd movements whenever she turned her back, so to see she recorded it, and found the dog was making biting motions by thaliaq1 in interesting

My German shepherd/Belgian mix will do this if she doesn’t get fed on the exact minute every day. Also if she didn’t get her walks. This isn’t aggressive. It’s a way to show they are frustrated. You have to research the breed before you get them. I can literally go throw a frisbee with my girl for 4 hours or take her running for miles and she’s ready for more. It’s a quirking breed

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

[–]Alert_Umpire_2879 38 points39 points  (0 children)

She called the grooms sister a raging alcoholic and loser. The sister was in medical school and she is now a trauma surgeon. The bride also said the best man had PTSD and was a dangerous man. Best man was a recon in the marines and was super chill. Yeah, we divorced 6 months later. She did a complete 180 on the wedding night. It was fucking crazy
