Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
I have absolutely NO sympathy for people who injure themselves doing stupid shit with fireworks.

Me either, Tony. Thank goodness my county banned fireworks this year, thanks to the drought.

You must be in CO too, Yankee. No fireworks here this year, the whole state is on fire.

Playing with fireworks is fun and all, but don't be a dumbass with 'em. At least maintain a minimum safe distance. Now I'll be right back after I shoot this mortar tube at the neighbor that just blew up my air conditioner.

Lots of potential Darwin Award winners here!

Take some explosive devices, put them in the hands of stupid people, then get them drunk... Let's see what happens....

At least the guys stupid enough to put flaming explosives near their crotches probably wont be fathering kids anytime soon.

No, Deli Slave. I'm in Kentucky. We've had highs in the triple digits, and with all our pasture land, it's just standing hay, waiting for a fire to break out.

What Tony said.
Shit like this is a prime example of why explosives should NOT be available to J. Average Citizen.

I wonder if some of the fireworks themselves were faulty....like the intro segment where the one goes off WAY too low to the ground. Still though, any time I shoot off fireworks we all go out to the house of the guy who lives out in the sticks, setting stuff off in a neighborhood is just dumb any way you slice it.

Most Canadians tend to be responsible with their fireworks... Apart from a metric fuckton of false alarms from the amount of smoke hanging in the air, naturally.

And this proves why most regular people shouldn't be allowed to fire off fireworks.
Here in Arizona, if I recall right, it's legal to buy fireworks, but it's illegal to shoot off the ones that go into the sky if you're not a professional.
Those guys should have all been hurt, no sympathy here at all.
