Why are so many people such utter f*ckw*ts? And why do I have to work with them?

One of them left a box of bananas in a narrow hallway out back at work - a box of bananas that I had already moved out of the way twice so it wasn't a hazard.

I'm sitting here now with a bloody and bruised neck and shoulder, a bruised elbow, middle finger, knee and ankle, all on my left side, because when I closed up shop an hour ago, I grabbed my cash drawer and one of the scratchcard lockboxes and headed for the office.

I'm laden, I can't see the floor as I come round the door, but I know I cleared everything out of the way not an hour ago... So, I trip, go sideways, rolling my ankle. I totter into the office, hit the wall, which shoves the scratchcard lockbox (open tubular steel piping aimed for my throat!) into my neck and shoulder, at which point I lose verticality and come down on someone's effing scooter that should never have been in the office in the first place, scattering cash all over the place, wrenching my wrist, landing hard on my knee and scraping a load of skin off knuckle, neck and shoulder.

No gaping wounds, thank god, but christ, I'm not going to be able to move tomorrow, and I can forget about putting on a bra. And probably nodding. I can feel my neck muscles tightening as I type. I'm going to be black and blue and scabby. Lovely. I may take pictures. (Why should I suffer alone?)

Oh, and the f*ckw*t thought it was hilarious. It doesn't seem to occur to her that IT'S HER FAULT for moving the banana box from where I'd put it safely out of the way. She didn't even put any bananas out!

So, In conclusion: OW.

In other news, I have 660ml of 5.3% pear cider and two Jaffa Cake muffins.

But I'm still fuming.

You're lucky you walked away with just bruises! D: Please tell me you told a supervisor about it.

(waves) I found all the awesome I could have hoped for in your tags, by the way. And then some. XD

Ow ow ow!!

What a bitch, though! And she seriously thought it was funny that you were hurt? *growls*

I'm sending you chicken soup from Australia. Even if you aren't sick, just hurt, chicken soup cures all ailes. Although so do Jaffa Cake muffins!! (yummy)

*hugs you very, very carefully*

OMG!!!

You're gonna send someone to kick her ass, right? Or, hell, i'll come over there and kick her ass for you.

Jayzus!!

*sends cabana boys with bandages and betadine and soothing hot oils to soothe your muscles with and more cider and chocolate and fluffy pillows*

I'm glad you're mostly okay, bay-bee.

Oh my god!

*stabs your co-worker*

Have you been to see the doc? Can you go tomorrow?

*flitters around anxiously* I wish I was close by, so I could come look after you and bring you milkshakes and comics and boiled eggs and such! <3333333

Oh my gosh. I'm so glad you're still alive. Go see the doctor! I'd seriously consider firing the person who did that, I think they may be trying to kill you!

Ouch - sorry to hear about your tumble. Hope that you recover soon!

Huh - quoting health and safety and threatening to sue would soon take the smile off her face *is ev0l* ;)

Oh, hon, that's awful! *hugs you very gently*

I imagine Helf & Safety would have a few words to say about this. What a very stupid cow. *smacks her remotely*

grrr, I can see why you would be pissed. Take a nice hot bath to help the owies go away and feel better soon.

Aaaw, sweetie! **very gentle hugs**

People suck. Clearly the idiot thought the box belonged there for reasons unknown. Finding it moved and then *putting it back* is a sign if some sort of twisted reasoning. Just make me want to gibbssmack the dunce and make her explain herself.

What sort of punishment would be appropriate? I say we make her chase loose marbles in heavy traffic.

Damn. That had to hurt. I hope whoever it was that left the box choked on a banana later.

Hope you're feelin' better.
