I Wonder if Workman's Comp Covers THIS...

[Jester]

So been training at a new second job this week. Today, during a break in the action, I used the bathroom upstairs. After finishing, I was heading down the stairs, and the GM was heading up them. Right before we passed each other, he tripped, falling forward up the stairs. As he fell, his left fist came forward...

Right into my crotch!



"Down goes Frasier! Down goes Frasier!"

Yeah, I was felled. Crotch punched by my boss. And, while it could have been far worse (let's just say I was glad he wasn't a couple inches lower), it sucked. I just sat down at the top of the stairs, and told him I wasn't moving for a bit. And he said, "Yeah, and if anyone asks you--" I cut him off, saying, "Oh, I'll tell them exactly what happened."

And I sat there on the floor at the top of the stairs for a while as my body struggled to recover.

A short while later, while one of my new coworkers and I were going over some info, I had my head down on the bar we were sitting at. One of the trainers saw this and asked if they were impeding on my nap time. "Not napping...injured." Raising an eyebrow, he asked what happened. I told him. And then he said, "you rest as long as you need." Yeah. Not fun.

And to add insult to crotch injury, when I got home, I got shit from both my roommates about, well, shit.

Nobody better fuck with me tomorrow. I am completely unamused with my Sunday.

Shit.

Well, at least the Sun Devils and Raiders both won this weekend.

I'd love to see the accident report form on that one.

Yikes! I hope you're feeling a little bit better by now.

Pretty much if you are a human, when you get hit there you go down. Don't care how tough you might be. Goes a little more for males then females, but that is a design flaw of the male.

Yeah I am forced to agree. It would be quite the read.

Cause of Injury:

Back in 1997 our roomie Bruce worked at an aquarium - the trainer got bit on the butt by an orca

[didn't do any real damage because of the wetsuit, was more of one of those little friendly nibbles that is grooming, just very surprising when it isn't expected]

So..the trainer had a killer whale of a tale to tell about a tail full of killer whale?

Sounds like a new way to play nine ball

One that I recall reading in a book about the airline industry:

(male) Flight attendant is helping to restrain a "flipped out" passenger, and is bitten in the process. Back on the ground, things are sorted out, and it is found that the passenger has a certain "social disease". Cue the need for the flight attendant to be tested. Imagine the fun trying to explain to Worker's Comp that the possible exposure (turned out test was negative) to syphilis was work-related.
