I broke my hand on purpose to avoid going to work but still get paid.

I worked as an agent in a call center. I hated that job. It was overwhelming, everyone would just call and complain.

It was a Sunday night. And after a soothing weekend. I did not want to go to back go work. The only way to avoid going to work and still get paid is to provide a sick-leave attested from the hospital.

I already had a tough week and I was going through a lot. I was mentally Exhausted! As time was passing rapidly, I desperately wanted to skip work on Monday.

I was so desperate that I was was trying to get myself sick However, getting sick only lands you a 1 approved day sick leave.

Then that’s when I got the IDEA to break my hand. I got a spray to kill bugs and a perfume and sprayed the PIFPAF on my hand so I couldn’t feel anything and took the perfume bottle and jacked my hand with it for 5 times constantly.

At first, I did not feel a thing, because the bug spray caused my hand to be numb, then I tried moving my hand but I couldn’t move my hand and it started to pain and my hand started to swell. Like really really bad.

I drove to the hospital and was xrayed. Nothing was broken, just dislocated. I ended up getting a 15 days paid sick leave. I missed 2 weeks of work !

Was it worth it? Yes. Would I do it again. Definitely. Recommend. No. Stay safe kids!

How to deal with family members who keep throwing away my stuff?

Dad retired a few years ago and is now staying home 24/7. I’m guessing due to the long hours at home, he is getting frustrated with the “mess” at home and it starting to clear things bit by bit.

Ok granted our house is not the neatest, but it’s very much liveable (3 of us are always out, we’re too tired to deal with any housework.)

I can’t understand: he could have just cleared his own stuff (yes a ton of it). Why tf does he keep throwing our stuff???

Once he threw away an old sewing machine (worth 100+, passed down from prev gen) and that really made mom REALLY mad.

She demanded him to pay her back but obv this strategy does not work.

Idk?? Isit coz we are living in a house under his name so he feels he can do anything to our space??? I thought of locking the door but I don’t want to create any hostility within the family?

And how tf do I lock the living room space???

Please share if any of yall have similar experiences.

I’m writing this as my blood boils, please be nice 🙂

Netizens’ comments

• Throw away the dad

• Posted about this in the past. I also had parents who just throw away my stuff without asking, sometimes things that are irreplaceable. For instance, boxes for some expensive figurines I bought, which had all the alternative heads, hands and weapons inside. Those accesories can’t be bought separately and the figures themselves cost well into the hundreds.

Unfortunately talking to them did not really work as they very much believe in “my house, my rules” philosophy. After that incident, I took to keeping away my important stuff in locked drawers and also labelling boxes “Do-Not-Throw”. I did consider locking my door but similarly, I think it will be too hostile.

In the heart of construction productivity, chaos erupted as two construction workers engaged in a heated brawl, while others on the site stood by, captivated by the spectacle. What unfolded was not just a physical altercation but a blatant disregard for safety, made even more absurd by the inaction of the safety officer.

Unsafe Showdown Unfolds

The construction site, usually a hub of organized activity, witnessed an unprecedented scene. Two workers, embroiled in a dispute, resorted to physical violence. Shockingly, instead of swift intervention, the safety officer, the designated guardian of workplace well-being, did the unthinkable – he not only watched the altercation but also filmed it.

A Disturbing Lack of Intervention

The norm in any workplace, especially a construction site, is to prioritize safety above all else. However, on this occasion, the safety officer failed to uphold this fundamental duty. His role is not merely to observe but to actively ensure the well-being of every worker on the site. By choosing to be a spectator, he not only jeopardized the safety of those involved in the altercation but compromised the entire team’s well-being.

Here are what netizens think:

• Useless Safety Personnel there.
• Deportation in progress
• Another day another fight. I have been entertained I can sleep well tonight. Thanks
• This is more entertaining than KSI VS TOMMY FURY
• Why people just see and take video
• MMA FIGHT CONSTRUCTION WORKER EDITION
• Deport both of them
• They thinking they are watching the real action movie
• Ali baba Supervisor and safety officer
• whoever wins get to go home

• Nobody tried to even separate them from continue fighting,.ao comfortably record for the sake of posting in sofoal media, we are living in a sick world.

Public fighting

According to Chapter 224 of the Penal Code, anyone who disturbs public peace by fighting in public is guilty of committing an affray.

Upon conviction, offenders could face a jail term of up to one year, a fine of up to $5,000, or both.

I’m a psychopath and manage it well.
Before you judge, in which I’m guessing it’ll happen lol google psychopath. Because people often confuse psychopath and sociopath. They are not the same.

I’ve never told anyone this, not family not friends.

Backstory… I didn’t grow up conventional. Like really unconventional. Though nobody has a normal life…mine was different. When i tell people and they meet my family. Their eyes widen and i can see in their expression that they don’t know how to feel. Generally most people accept it. The ones that don’t, well grew up normal lol.

I was a pretty chill and calm kid. I didn’t grow up in violence. But it was pretty normalized within my family. In the sense i was taught to stand up for myself. I took that pretty literally as a kid. If you have to fight, do what you have to do to win. If that meant taking a pipe to their legs, well you gotta do it. But i was told never to start fights.

I was tormented by the other kids and I learned a lot from it. I was also taught the world is a cruel place. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I was very perceptive and acknowledged this as a reality.

I noticed i was different when I was about 7 years old. I didn’t really like to talk a lot. I didn’t really realize until i was older that i didn’t have a tolerance for others. Like family would talk to me and I remember thinking to my self will they shut up, i don’t care. Aunts, uncles, cousins, etcetera…they would call me shy because i didn’t talk. I just didn’t have patience for their crap. I would just play along , nod, fake laugh, so on.

I didn’t feel for friends really. I was always the odd duck. Even within my family i was odd. I don’t even recall how i made friends. It didn’t make sense to me but i oddly fit in the popular crowds. I didn’t help i was an attractive kid. I really hated all of the attention, it would drive me insane. I would just conform because i saw thats what other kids wanted. So i would copy my friends to fit in the best i could. Honestly didn’t really care for them or anyone.

It was hard for me to care about my family and friends as the years went on. To the point that i just didn’t care if i didn’t keep in contact. Generally speaking, they all contact me. Otherwise i wouldn’t bother.

I noticed i could use my lack of emotion to my advantage. I picked up on this in maybe 8th or 9th grade. I would manipulate others for my gain. I was really good at it. They still have no idea the things i would do for my benefit. Yet i could easily hide i was lying to them. I would recreate emotions through many hours of practice. I would watch others. Whether it was anger, crying, happiness, sadness etcetera.. i would mimic their behavior.

I would keep my violent thoughts in my head because i acknowledged there are consequences. I would have these thoughts and I would never act out on them.

When i hit maybe my young adulthood, i really noticed i had no regard for others. I could care less about people and their feelings. That i was so intrigued i joined psychology class because i wanted to see if i could figure out what was wrong with me. I learned so much about the human brain. I had textbooks full of knowledge i could use. I would emulate different behaviors. It was amazing to me.

Within all of this time i did have a plethora of relationships with girls. Dated popular girls, hooked up with older women, one of my girlfriend’s moms., i liked the pleasure of intercourse. I did end up getting married. I oddly was able to care about someone. I dunno maybe because she was someone so different than myself. Though i do slip up from time to time for not having emotions for certain things i do my best to make her happy. We have four children together who I’d absolutely die for . It was like a switch flipped when i had them. That i could actually care for something that i developed really real feelings for their mother. That if anyone hurt her, i would put their hand in a blender.

I hide myself pretty well. People just think I’m that quiet guy who keeps to himself. It has it’s pros and cons. I have to remind myself to tell my wife things, give her compliments, act in manners i see as pointless. But i do care and love her.

It’s been quite the life. Just blending in.
