Boom boom crash.
I mentioned on my TGIF about hurting my shoulder but this has a little story behind it.
My bosses decided we needed to take down this closet system display. It's HUGE and a PITA to deal with, IMO. Well, one of the guys I work with and I started taking stuff off the shelves and whatnot. Another girl started helping us. Then we started really breaking apart the display. The whole time me and the guy were like,"Ugh...we don't wanna do this...this rack just sucks. Ugh." blah blah blah
All of a sudden I hear, "AHHHHHHHHHH" followed by my girl co-worker screaming the guy's name who was helping me.
Then boom I'm sandwiched between the display and a wall of carpet racks. I can just barely see the guy and I can't see the girl.
All of a sudden I hear my guy co-worker say in the most calm and relaxed voice,"Okay. I'm mad now." I almost died laughing which hurt because every time I moved the display squished me a little more.
The girl manages to wiggle out. And runs to the office to page the bosses up to the front. One of my bosses was in his office with a usual customer and they came out.
My guy co-worker kept saying, "Kari, you've got to move or this thing is going to start squishing us more." I kept saying,"I'm stuck. I can't move. Help me I'm stuck."
My bosses come running out and they can't get the display off of us. Finally my guy co-worker puts on his incredible hulk uniform or some shiit and literally pushed the entire rack off of me then breaks the rack (!!?!!!) to get himself out. He's my damn hero.
I have a hurt right shoulder, cut off a nice chunk of my thumb, sliced my ring finger on my right hand and left 3 HUUUUGE bruises on my left leg. Oh awesome!
Oh and after all this, the usual customer WHO STOOD NEXT TO ME THE WHOLE TIME AND DIDN'T BOTHER TRYING TO GET ME OUT looked at my guy co-worker and said,"This is why you don't ask women to help you do anything."
Asss.
Re: Boom boom crash.
Wow! that's crazy, and it would just have to happen that you were the one squished in there!
The customer deserves a big slap in the face for saying that though, the nerve!

The whole time I was readying I was picturing your tiny self stuck under some metal rack - not upset, but laughing at the craziness. Then I got to the end - What is wrong with that guy?!
Sorry you got squished. I hope you heal quickly.
Oh my gosh! Glad you got unstuck and are feeling better! Heal quickly!
Also, that guy is really an ass... Wow.
