Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Health and Safety Bollocks
I am doing a charity fund-raising walk this weekend. We are walking up a small mountain (just over 1000m) and then walking back down. It's about a 5 mile round trip and apparently will take about 4-5 hours. Yeh, right. It's only 5 miles!
Anyway, the organisers are checking each individual before it starts, to make sure they have the correct equipment. Torch, map compass, whistle, warm blanket, food, spare clothes, watch, waterproofs. What a fucking list! It's 5 fucking miles! It's not even that high!
All the fun is taken out of everything these days with all this safety shite. If someone gets lost/dies on the walk it'll probably be their own fault for being a stupid fat fuck-ass.
So, is it normal that health and safety regulations make me seethe with furious rage?

the system is flawed.
if somebody dies whoever is responsible gets sued.
But you cant sue them for being boring even though their boringness is harming you.

If only we could make a system where everybodys interest were to make the world better.
How great would this world be?
haha lmao

but its good you are doing a charity thing. 5 miles? hahahha Torch? hahaha
Yes I cant blame you for being pissed everything is clouded with bullshit. Its especially true in the workplace where you are lectured on health and safety yet nothing is done until someone actually gets hurt. Same with our roads new traffic lights dont get install untill it is proven by so many fatalities that they are actually needed
Expecting a hurricane?
i totally agree with you. 5 fucking miles. I've walked that in 1 hour
