I mean yeah but come on…overreacting like that to a nosebleed is a little much.

You never fell off your bike as a kid and got scraped up bad? Never cut yourself bad with a tool and super glued it shut? Believe me, the human body can handle a lot, when people overreact about minor ass injuries, I think it’s a little absurd. Not trying to sound like a tough guy or anything, believe me on this one but myself and almost all the guys in my shop get cut, scraped, bruised, burned, etc…just about every day. It hurts for a little while, you wrap it up and throw some electrical tape on there and go back to work. A nosebleed would be a non issue because it doesn’t cause any pain.

Matter of fact, couple months back (and this is the most recent example because it does happen a few times a year). I was doing some overhead aluminum welding on dirty metal. Anyone that welds will tell you that if you weld aluminum it needs to be perfectly clean raw metal. However, that is an ideal scenario. More often than not, you’re doing some service work on a dirty ass piece of equipment and you’ve acid bathed it and torched it clean but it’s still not perfect and you have to work through it. I’m sitting underneath this fucking truck welding some dirty ass overhead and again…any welder will vouch, aluminum sparks are worse than steel. I had a drop of molten shoot off and fall down straight into my lap. It burned through my jumpsuit, my boxers, and finished off on the head of my dick. Yeah that shit hurt. It hurt bad…but you can’t walk off a job and leave everyone else stuck because you got a boo-boo that made you a little uncomfortable. You put some burn gel in that shit and don’t fuck your old lady for a couple days.

I had an angle grinder catch on a work piece and kick out of my hand a couple of weeks ago. On its way down, it bit into my thumb and nail. I won’t lie, shit was scary and it bled through my glove. I still have the cut in my finger and nail until it grows out past it. There’s guys in that shop into their 60s that laughed at it. Sometimes you just get hurt, shit happens. A nosebleed is not enough to fucking call it quits. I’ll take all the down votes in the world but it’s the truth. You can’t be that goddamn soft. Snort a gram of blow in a night when you’re partying and you get a nosebleed, it’s normal. If you’re a man and got rocked enough by a nosebleed to walk off your job and call it quits, then I don’t know what to tell you chief. Maybe get an office job? Idk.
