  • Curiosity killed the cat...

    and almost made you a stain on the carpet.

    Okay, here's the situation. I'm moving a cabinet, by itself weighing about 75 lbs, filled with paper, I'd say it's tipping the scales at 200-250 lbs. It doesn't fit well on the dolly so it has a tendancy to tip, which it does. I'm bringing it through a doorway, and it tips over. I manage to catch it before it goes right over and it sits, leaning at a precarious angle. It's too heavy for me to get back up by myself, so I've got to get my partner. I don't like the idea of leaving it there, but it's completely out of the hallway, in the construction zone right next to the "DANGER, DO NOT ENTER" sign, so I figure it will be okay for a couple of minutes.

    I come back with my partner to see a woman climbing over the cabinet to get out of the room:

    Me: That's a construction site, you are not supposed to go in there.
    SC: I just wanted to see what was in there.
    Me: Okay, did you notice that the cabinet you climbed over was sitting on an angle and could have easily fallen over on to you?
    SC: I was just curious.
    Me: Well I hope the view of an empty construction site was worth risking your life for.
    SC: Hmmmmmf.

    I understand curiosity, but how stupid do you have to be to climb over a cabinet that's bigger than you just to satisfy it. jeeez

    Why are people so stupid?
    ...but I'm a bastard and so desensitized to the scum of humanity that I'm immune to the Stun status effect.

      I wonder if that person also makes a habit of climbing fences around prisons.

        Maybe she was doing something stupid on purpose hoping that she'd get hurt so she could try to sue your company for lots of money. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me.
