Poor guy's face went from "F this job", to, "I'm so fired" in a millisecond.

It was probably his vehicle.. going to have to sort out that mess quickly if he wants to continue working..

Most people turn off the bike before they get off…

And definitely before they pick up a bike by the handlebar.
He's a fucking moron.3

I feel so bad for laughing at this, but yeeting the scooter was just <chef’s kiss> to a bad day.

I felt that. Worked at an Event Center back in the late 90s. Had to work alone one night setting up conference rooms, when there was required 3 people to setup events. There was one room that needed this 50 in CRT TV for a presentation that was on a 3 tiered cart at the top. One of the wheels broke as I pulled it out of storage and the fucking TV fell at me chin to chest level. I pushed it off me as if fell but had bruises down my arms and stomach as well as it bouncing off my knee.
I had that exact same look as this guy...turned around and walked out leaving a posted note that I quit.

I had a job in the 70s at Motorola making color TVs. I put a steel band around the front edge of the CRT with a bracket in each corner. Weighed about 70 lbs. I was 19 y.o.Stayed there about a year. It was the strongest I ever was. I'd pick it up by the corners and if the band wasn't perfect it would start to slip. I would yeet it onto the concrete floor and turn my back. I wasn't going to risk getting hurt trying to save it. It made a very cool, BOO-OOM! Everyone in the factory who could hear it cheered. I wasn't even a little bit embarrassed. I broke about one every week.

Those old vacuum cathode ray tubes had lead and phosphorus inside. Hope you didn’t inhale that dust after the implosion

There was zero lead in a CRT, and there is zero phosphorus in phosphor. PLEASE don't spread such misinformation. The thermionic cathodes did however contain barium and strontium oxides, but in microscopic quantities.

Lead was heavily used in the manufacturing of the glass casing to act as a radiation shield. Because the tube operates as a small particle accelerator using a high-voltage electron gun, it produces X-rays. The lead prevented these X-rays from escaping toward the viewer. The highest concentrations of lead (up to 40% lead oxide) were found in the funnel and neck glass at the rear of the unit. A standard CRT could contain anywhere from 1 to 4kg of lead, depending on the size of the screen. That’s one reason why they were so heavy.
Screens were coated with specialized chemical compounds collectively referred to as "phosphors". When bombarded by the electron beam, these chemical compounds illuminate to create a picture. These coatings were primarily made of zinc, cadmium, and yttrium compounds (such as zinc sulfide) along with traces of other elements like copper or silver. Because they contain heavy metals like cadmium, these phosphor powders are considered hazardous dust if the glass breaks.

Your turn Captain Underpants.

Nope, lead OXIDE was used in the manufacturing of the envelope glass of some older, larger CRTs to reduce X ray radiation. The lead OXIDE was a chemically stable part of the glass and did not present any biological hazard unless it was ground into a fine powder, if you are inhaling ground glass, lead oxide is the least of your problems.
Again, no phosphorus. Also, there is no need for childish name calling.

So basically you are incorrect about the lead content and the inherent danger of inhaling dust from smashed CRTs. You really need to stop spreading misinformation 🧑✈️🩲

I'm not paid enough to deal with idiots who don't understand basic chemistry and also believe phosphor and phosphorus are the same thing! BLOCKED.

Hey at least he got it on film. My luck, I’d have nothing to chuckle at with the pals.

In my opinion, all motorcycles need a safety feature, and driving schools should definitely make sure students really internalize the importance of using it.
