sueing is the american way! you were probably somewhere/doing something you weren't supposed, or the idiot at the controls (i say probably for the benefit of the doubt). point being did the place your suing try to hurt your finger, or want to you to be hurt, i think not, but go sue them good idea.

Loren, I was doing my job. &nbsp;How about them apples? Dont like apples? &nbsp;Then kiss my ass you apple hating freak.... j/p

Story... it is now 12:16 lets see how long this takes minus my wagging (index) finger

Ok, so i had to unlock the hydraulic car lift. &nbsp;There are metalic triangular lock that hold the lift at maximum height to prevent the lift from falling. &nbsp;Well, Marquis my homie, attempted to lower the lift while i was unlocking it. &nbsp;I tried to use my foot, but the lock was stuck so I attempted to use my hand. &nbsp;Well, the lift came down, I heard cru-ru-runch. &nbsp;I started to pull out some Cannible Corpse style screaming. &nbsp;F this and that... you know. &nbsp;I yell to Marquis to raise the lift, but it take about 30 sec.s for the lift to preasurize. &nbsp;He attempted to raise the lift, but it wasnt happening and I could see the distress in his face... kinda like mine. &nbsp;My boss comes trotting over and ask "How did this happen" then starts to panic. &nbsp;I yell for him to "For the love of sweet fucking christ, RAISE THEN LIFT" and he screams like a little girl runnin in circles, "Im trying"

Well in all, it was about 3-4 minutes till the lift was raised. &nbsp;No one called the ambulance so my other Homie Dennis had to drive me.... walked into the ER and the nurse was like "Can I help you" so i held up my hand and said "This hurts". &nbsp;"I bet it does" she replies.. and about an hour later I was stiched and all that good shit.


The American way.... &nbsp;There should have been a procedure to follow in a case like this, it wasnt. &nbsp;My boss paniced and I suffered. &nbsp;No one called the 911 in the five minutes it took for me to be on the way to the hospitol. &nbsp;When I returned at about 4, they said "Go to Marlton, take a drug test" and proceeded to complain at me for using my hand instead of my foot. &nbsp;Assholes.

Its now 12:25, not bad.
