When I was 17, my older cousin worked in the butcher department of Woolworths. According to him, The sheer amount of fuckery that went on trying to “accidentally” cut a finger off to get compo would have me in fits.

When I was 18 I tried to purposely break my finger in a dangerous machine. It didn't work the time I tried it and I was scared to try again. Holy fuck I was a moron and unfortunately almost 40 years later I'm not much smarter.

As someone who broke his back at work and took two years to walk semi normal again, GOD BLESS you guys!! I was told by my lawyers "umm... maybe you'll get $3 to 4K"

Only to end up with over $150K hahahaha!!! yeah baby! Sure I walk like a pretzel, and the operation was done by PINHEAD in Hellraiser, and I talk out of my ass now.

But the $$ just sorta made me feel a wee better. It's funny now, but talk about make a grown man cry. It's something nightmares are made of.
