TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR!!!

[Fat Man]

Well, I had a rather interesting afternoon today.

As I was coming home, because I was coming home about a half hour late, I met my health care worker in the lobby of my apartment building. She usually comes to my room, but because I came home late she was in the lobby waiting for me.

Together we entered the elevator and I pushed the button for the 6th floor. Nothing happened. So I tried pushing a couple more buttons and still nothing happened.

The elevator was not going anywhere.

So, I tried the emergency bell, and still nothing.

There is a panel that opens and behind it a telephone. I pushed the button on the telephone, and a red light came on, but the telephone is not connected to 911, it's connected to the office in the lobby which is closed on weekends.

So, I started banging on the door until somebody heard me.

An elderly lady said she would call 911, but since the phone in the lobby wasn't working either she had to get somebody with a cell phone to dial 911.

Yeah! Nothing works in this town!

Well, she found another person who had a cell phone, but that person said she was too busy to be bothered and was in a hurry to get up to her apartment, and when she was told that there were two people stuck in the elevator, she still refused to let her cell phone be used.

So, the lady who was trying to help us had to look for another person with a cell phone. Eventually she got somebody to dial 911, and it was about a half hour before the fire department came and got us out of the elevator, then we took another elevator up to my apartment.

Well, I'm going to find out the name of the person who refused to help, and find out what apartment that person lives in, and have that person evicted, and I intend to sue.

Also, after the first of next month, I'm going to buy a hatchet and keep it in my big blue bag that I have on the back of my JAZZY 614 HD power chair that I use to get around because of the arthritis in my knees and ankles. I use the big blue bag when I do my grocery shopping, but I'm also going to keep a hatchet in my bag as an emergency elevator door opener.

The reason for my wanting to keep a hatchet in my big blue tucker bag is because, if I ever get trapped in the elevator late at night, and nobody hears me ringing the bell or banging on the door, and since the phone does not connect to 911 but only to the office in the lobby which is sometimes closed, then I will use the hatchet to bust open the elevator door.

And I will refuse to pay for the damaged elevator door, and turn around and sue them instead for money, because being trapped in an elevator late at night is a rather traumatic event.

Also, Monday, I'm going to go to the office down in the main lobby, and ask why the emergency phone in the elevator is connected to the office when is should be connected to 911.

This town is full of morons!

Well, she found another person who had a cell phone, but that person said she was too busy to be bothered and was in a hurry to get up to her apartment, and when she was told that there were two people stuck in the elevator, she still refused to let her cell phone be used....Well, I'm going to find out the name of the person who refused to help, and find out what apartment that person lives in, and have that person evicted, and I intend to sue.

That's rotten. Try and understand that a lot of people in this world hate each other, and would not lift a hand to help someone who was drowning. I understand it has something to do with putting a lot of people together in cities and expecting them to get along.

Instead of suing individuals who have already offended you, you could instead take the initiative to ferret out the morons by giving everyone an IQ test, and then suing everyone who scored below a certain level. That way you could get them all, rather than just the ones who happened to cross your path during the day.

Well, I'm going to find out who that person is, and I'll have that person evicted and living out in the streets sleeping on park benches.

Anybody who will not abide by the rules of civilization or common courtesy should be living out in a jungle somewhere.

I hope that person dies in his/her sleep tonight!

And if there is life after death, I hope that person goes straight down to Hell to be trapped in an elevator and having to listen to suckie elevator music for all eternity!

Or better yet, falling down an up-escalator for all eternity and his/her bones break and heal, break and heal, over and over again and again for all eternity, or perhaps falling down a never ending flight of stairs forever and ever! Amen!

I know that if someone was trapped in an elevator, I would be on my phone calling 911, and if I didn't have a phone, or if the pay phone in the lobby was not working, then I would pull one of the fire alarm switches to get the attention of the fire department, even if it means disturbing the whole building in the middle of the night.

Well, this Monday, I'm going to find out why the emergency phone in the elevator only gets the office in the lobby which is closed on weekends.

It should be connected to 911.

Well, I intend to sue!

If you recall in another one of my topics, the one titled:
El Paso Texas Dangerous City For The Physically Handicapped
http://www.sportssuck.org/phpbb2/viewto ... f=7&t=4736

I was compensated with $250 dollars when some moron at the Home Depot slashed my lower left leg with a blade while removing the old nylon straps from my JAZZY 614 HD power chair.

And then Jerry McGuire responded by saying . . .

It sounds as if you had an unfortunate set of circumstances, were compensated, and now you're just trying to make a buck out of it by seeing how far you can ride the gravy train, so to speak.

Yeah! Well, jocks get plenty of gravy! They get brand new Hummers for FREE after having raped someones sister or daughter and millions of dollars just for chasing balls.

No, I am determined that from now on, anybody who causes me injury or emotional distress is going to get sued.

I'm going to complain to the housing authority as to why the emergency phones in the elevator are not connected to 911, and why they are connected to the office in the lobby which is not always open.

I'm sick and tired of living in poverty. It's not right, because when I was 13 years old, I scored 150 points on a standard IQ test, but was never allowed to get a decent education in school because to them, sports was more important than academics.

Yet, drooling morons with single digit IQs who can't read beyond the third grade level get paid millions of dollars and get FREE cars just for chasing balls.

This is wrong! Low grade morons with single digit IQs should be sleeping on park benches in the middle of the winter, eating out of garbage cans, and drinking out of toilets, and dying in the streets face down in their own puke!

I guess it's up to me to teach the people who run this town how to think.

No, wait! I take that back! It's impossible to teach morons how to think!

I'm just going to have to do their thinking for them.

Yeah! I'm going to own this town and all the morons in it.

We're talking major ownage here!!!

Okay, I'm sorry I laughed at this. I sort of imagined for some reason that your threat about the hatchet was a joke. I guess getting trapped in an elevator is pretty traumatic. Sorry. I don't think you should sue everyone you can get your hands on, though. That doesn't improve anything. It just contributes to the general level of hatred, fear and distrust in the world.

I'm actually kind of with Fat Man on this. If a woman has the ability to help people who are trapped in an elevator but chooses not to in favour of pursuing comparatively insignificant matters like getting home early or her social life, then that makes her contemptible at best. Standing by and letting trouble happen when you have the ability to help it, even if you're not the one at fault for what has happened, is always something I've found to be particularly odious, and I really can't stand people who would rather defend their own ass or save time than help someone who is in need of it. I don't want this person to die but at the same time, standing by and ignoring the problems of your fellow people when you have the power to help them is something that is, in my opinion, punishable.

Thank you I_like_1981!!!

I have made up my mind that anybody who acts like a moron, it's going to cost them financially.

I'm sick and tired of seeing morons get rich while I'm poor.

It's suppose to be the other way around.

Failure to render aid should be punishable.

One does not have to be a super brave hero to render aid. There are other ways to help somebody in need even if it's just making a simple phone call.

[i_like_1981]

I speak from personal experiences here. I got sick and tired of all the selfish yet popular people in my school standing by as all the bullies went and made life miserable for numerous slightly less-social yet more academic characters like myself. Those people had the ability to come and make an unpopular kid's day a lot happier by coming along and helping them - it wouldn't have harmed their reputation any. Telling somebody you know who is a bully to "Stop being harsh" or "Leave them alone, what have they done for you?" isn't going to hurt you, especially if you're on good, friendly terms with them. But did they ever do that? Did they fuck. They chose to keep their heads up their own arses and let shit be inflicted on the less-popular students who did nothing to deserve any of the crap they were given. It wouldn't have been too much of an effort for them to at least consider someone else's feelings, but obviously for them it was. This is why, Fat Man, I deeply resent those who stand by and do nothing while others are suffering or going through an unpleasant time, when they have the ability to stop or even just help the situation. Too many people turn a blind eye to things that matter a lot to others.

What if he were destroying something you loved--a community of smart, virtuous individuals whom you wanted to see succeed in life? What if he were personally insulting a lot of decent people in that group including the group's founder?

At the very least, would you please stop encouraging him?
Would you please stop patting him on the back for hating on people?

What do you do with a fox that has gotten into the hen house and is killing the other animals?
Do you talk to it? Do you coddle it? Do you reason with it?

No, you take measures to keep the hen house safe from it !!!

Frankly, I find the much-maligned hawkeye10 easier to tolerate than the cancer that is currently eating your site.

VICTIMS TO DATE:
> Imperialist (high school kid) - - - Because he believes the state has a right to spy on people, even children. He's more concerned for the safety of the state than for the safety of children.

> Jerry McGuire (college kid) - - - Because when I had mentioned the $250 dollar compensation check I had received for injuries when my right leg was slashed with a blade, he said that I was just trying to ride the gravy train, but it doesn't seem to bother him that low-grade morons with single-digit IQs get paid millions of dollars just for chasing a ball or get a free car, or go unpunished for their crimes, like rape!

> Me (as of today, I'm sure) - - - No! - - - All you did was disagree with me a few times, but at least you never said anything moronic supporting state's rights or saying that I was only trying to get on the gravy train when I got my $250 compensation check for injuries to my leg.

> Every Republican who might ever have thought of posting here. - - - Actually, not individual members of these forums, but rather, the Republican Party itself because it has become more and more hostile toward science, and we have Republican members in our Texas State Board of Education (Indoctrination) removing Thomas Jefferson from the history textbooks to replace him with John Calvin, a 16th century religious fanatic who had people tortured to death, and the Bush administration had war prisoners tortured by water-boarding, and in our Texas Board of Indoctrination, they want to insert Creationist fairy tales into high school science textbooks!

> Wibberley (in a couple days, I'm sure) - - - I'm only joking about him. He doesn't mean anything to me. It's only been in the past couple weeks that I posted anything in the topic about how pop music sucks, otherwise though out the months I just ignored him.

So, only a couple of members, Imperialist and Jerry McGuire really got me pissed off!

The Imperialist creeps me out, because to him, states rights is more important than individual human rights.

For Example:

In Japan, where Imperialist hails from, if I were living in Japan, and employed in some big corporation, I would be charged double for employee health care, or maybe even lose my job because I'm fat. Anybody who's waistline exceeded 34 inches would either pay extra on employee health care or would perhaps even lose his/her job. I have a 64 inch waist, so, if I were living in Japan, I'd really be shit-out-of-luck!

If I were living in the UK, and if I was married with a family, I might have my kids taken away from me by the state just because I'm fat!

Another example:

Let's say I wanted to move out of the USA and move to New Zealand. While I might be allowed to visit that country as a tourest, I would not be allowed to immigrate there because I'm too fat!

Then back in 2007 - - I guess you never heard of the Mississippi House Bill 282 as proposed by Republican Representative W. T. Mayhall, Jr. of Mississippi District 40, Republican Representative John Read of Mississippi District 112 and a turn-coat Democratic Representative Bobby Shows of Mississippi District 89. If the Mississippi House Bill 282 had passed, it would have barred any obese person with a BMI (Body Mass Index) over 30 from eating in restaurants. Well . . . at 5 feet 6 inches and 400 pounds, my BMI is at 64, so if the bill had passed, I would not be allowed to eat in restaurants in the state of Mississippi. Fortunately the bill did not pass. It never even made it to the floor to be voted on.

Also, I smoke a pipe and I smoke cigars! That's nobody's fucking business.

So, to me, individual human rights is far more important than states rights. But Imperialist doesn't give a flying fuck about individual rights. He believes the state should have total control.

When I had posted in one of my topics about how web cams in school issued lap top computers had been used to spy on students, Imperialist said that the state has a right to spy on people for it's own protection.

Sorry everybody!

But that was when Imperialist crossed the line and made an enemy of me!

When a state feels that it has a right to spy on it's citizens, or when anybody feels that they have a right to spy on people especially children when they are in their own bedrooms getting undressed to either take a shower, or go to bed, then such a state is run by cowards! Since when do we have to protect society from children? It should be the opposite way around. We need to protect our children from meddling officials, the self-appointed dictators of a Nanny State!

Oh! in many schools across the USA, kids have their lunch boxes or bag lunches brought from home inspected, and if they have a candy bar or a piece of cake, it is confiscated as contraband.

I remember when I was a kid in grade school, from the 1st grade to the 3rd grade, when ever any kid in my class room had a birthday, the teacher would bring in a cake, we would sing happy birthday, and each one of us were given a slice of cake. Then we would go back to our studies. During Valentines day, February 14, the teacher would pass out cup cakes.

But now, our schools are not allowed to do that anymore!

Children are not allowed to be children anymore!

Oh! But we have the ACLU, our so-called American Civil Liberties Union backing up NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association, and trying to get the age of consent laws lowered and eventually repealed so that rich old men who smell bad can have sex with babies.

Yeah! But cup cakes are a crime now!

Sorry kids! But, you can't have cup cakes in school anymore!

But when you get home from school, then you may have a cup cake, and you'll also get to have a dirty old penis thrust in your mouth by the 70 year old neighbor next door when you go outside to play!!!

But no cup cakes during school! OK?

YEAH RIGHT!!!

Oh, so you're choosing to take your anger out on me, are you now, recovering_fan? I said in that post that I speak from personal experiences, that I dislike people who, in real life, just stand by and will gladly let others suffer at the hands of others or some other force that they themselves can not control, when that person who is standing by has the ability to do some good. I never once encouraged Fat Man to keep hating on people - I'm saying that I agree with his assertions on those who just stand by and don't turn a blind eye to the plights of others. I'm not talking about some problems on an internet forum - I'm talking about real-life, emotional and physical suffering, that can do a lot more damage to people than words on the internet from people they've never met and never will meet. Just because you have suddenly turned against Fat Man does not mean that I have to disagree with him on everything.

VICTIMS TO DATE:

I've removed wibberley from your list. He's not a victim of Fat Man's aggression; he's a victim of problems which he caused himself through his short, inadequate and often psychotic posts. I'm not attacking him, I just believe that he dug his own hole as far as this forum is concerned, and has a responsibility to get himself out again. Read through that "pop music sucks" thread again and tell me, honestly, that wibberley didn't deserve what was coming to him, now that you know his claims of being a loner were false, and he admitted to this himself. I'm sorry, but he's no "victim" of Fat Man. The others on your list, I can see where you're coming from, but wibberley, unfortunately, dropped himself in the shit and nobody else here is to blame for it.

Edit: Oh, and I've also removed you yourself from the list. Fat Man has not yet attacked you - you say "jumping the gun" much? Sounds to me like you're attempting to cause further division on the forums with all this stuff - trying to coax Fat Man into insulting you, maybe? Sorry, but I can't help but disagree with you on some of this; you're going a bit too far in your accusations.

OK, when I had posted my topic about the school issued lap top computers with the remotely activated web cams being used by some members of the school staff to spy on kids while they were undressing in their own bedrooms at home to take a shower or getting ready for bed . . .

. . . Sparkle referred to that as voyeurism.

NO! That's is NOT mere voyeurism!

Voyeurism is spying on adults in the nude.

Spying on children in the nude is pedophilia!

I'm sorry, but I have the same opinion of the modeling profession as I have of the sports profession.

Both are corrupt!

Sports is responsible for ruining the quality of education in our schools.

The modeling profession is responsible for the deaths of many young people starving themselves to death to fit into size zero outfits.

I remember back in the late 1970s my mother and I were watching the Miss America pageant and the average height and weight of the models was about 5 feet 8 inches and 128 pounds which is actually a little bit too thin.

But then, I had watched a more recent Miss America Pageant and the average height and weight was 5 feet 10 inches and 116 pounds!

In another 10 years they'll be 6 feet 2 inches and 98 pounds!

Now, what's wrong with this picture???

And I'm considered a pervert because I'm attracted to chubby women, ADULT chubby women.

But thanks to the ACLU defending NAMBLA in their quest to get the age of consent laws repealed, in another 10 years or so, it will be OK for rich old men who smell bad to have sex with babies. So, they'll be OK.

But because I'm attracted to ADULT women who are chubby, I'm a pervert!

Thank you America!

I think I'll go lay down and die now!
