So all day long they've been cutting down the trees in my backyard. These trees were like 3.5 ft in diameter and very tall.  I was watching them.  That must be the most dangerous job ever.

i'm no lumberjack but it seems like you'd just need to stand where the tree won't fall ...

I have three close lumberjack friends that do a lot of forest work pretty late. We had some really really horrible storms over the last few years, and the only time they were ever scared of trees falling on them were the ones they WERENT cutting down. It's like the forest was trying to take revenge. My dad almost got killed two years ago from a tree falling 3 feet away. He didn't even hear it cause of earplugs and using a chainsaw on a completely different tree.

My other friend was driving a tree cutting machine, and the brakes gave out, and it ended up rolling and punctured one of his lungs with a broken rib. He couldn't smoke or do anything for like 3 months.

The tree was so big that they had to cut it down in many parts.  One guy had to climb up the tree and cut while he was up there, all while standing on rotted unstable branches.  The pieces that fell had to be manipulated with ropes to prevent them from falling on the fence or the shed, etc. The rope system on the tree and on the guy was complicated and one rope in the wrong place could have yanked him out of the tree if something fell on it.  The pieces that hit the ground were so large that they rattled my windows when they hit the ground.  It was nuts.

omg that's awful lol.  It would be hard to give up and stop fighting it because you'd have to accept that all your stuff will probably be destroyed, but his plan to fight it is so bad.  The trips back and forth from the tap with small amounts of water are totally ineffective, and he uses the pillow to FAN the fire instead of smother it.  A blanket when the fire was smaller would have put it out.  And if not, STOP and call the fire dept !

i don't really get it - does he not own a fire extinguisher? he had plenty of time to put it out

or just... when he was carrying it, put it in his bathtub? or sink?

But he's a japanese minecraft streamer, very high amounts of autism are likely, it's unfortunate
It got my heart beating fast when I watched it.  A house fire is one of my phobias I guess.

i've never really been afraid of it because i have a fire extinguisher, and i'm careful not to leave anything on when i leave

i just don't see how it would be possible for me to cause one, so i don't worry about it
I'm sure it's less likely to happen if you use common sense but shit just happens.  I put something on the stove once and then sat on the couch.  It had been a long day and I dozed off. I had a dream that I couldn't breathe, then slowly awakened to realize that I had been coughing and gagging in my sleep because the whole house was filled with smoke and the fucking smoke alarm never went off.  I grabbed the smoldering pot and took it outside but the house smelled terrible for weeks despite using a gallon of febreze on everything.  What if I didn't wake up?  Freaky.

omg today sucks.  my coworker is so mad at me - again.  She's a fucking infant and we all have to walk on eggshells around her so her feelings don't get hurt.  I had to remind her of something for the hundredth time, and all I said was 'Remember how I told you this before?' and now I'm a condescending cunt.  I said it politely and I didn't say it front of anyone else.  She's nuts.
In other news, I have a WWYD question.

I bought a TV online a while back.  It works, but it's damaged.  I requested to exchange it, but they only do refunds.  Fine, I want a refund.  I reported the damage, sent photos, etc - and they tell me they are giving me a refund.  I asked them what I need to do with the TV.  They said a courier will contact me soon to advise of pickup.  I waited, and no courier contacted me.  Then the company I bought the TV from called me and asked me if the TV had been picked up yet.  I told them NO, it's still here because the courier never contacted me.  They said they would get back with the courier.  The refund has posted to my account, but the TV is still here and no courier is contacting me.  WWYD?

hang on to the tv and do nothing unless i hear from the courier. give em a couple months and if i still don't hear back, they obviously don't care about the tv.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, too.  I guess I just wanted to see if anyone else thought that way too because I feel a little guilty, even though I shouldn't. 
red chamber dream
ya it's not your fault

take the money and run !
nothing to feel guilty about lol

I'd be mad about them wasting my time / space
