You may say you "hate" your job. But hate is a strong word. You probably don't enjoy your job, but you grudgingly tolerate it. That is not hate.
Ladies and gentlemen (mostly gentlemen), let me introduce you to hating your job, via Reuters: A 56-year-old Austrian man was scheduled to meet with the labor office to determine whether he was fit for employment. So, hours before the meeting, the guy decided to saw off his own foot, thus ensuring that he wasn't fit for the rat race. And to think, he was so close to retirement age!
Just to make sure he wouldn't end up with a reattached foot and thus the ability to return to the working world, he tossed the foot into the oven, so that when the EMT's got to the scene it was too charred to be salvaged. Sadly, unless Austria has some sort of discriminatory law against hiring people with one foot, this is a short-term solution at best.
But that's not what matters. What matters is that this is the most grizzled man ever. It's like "127 Hours," only he was trapped for 490,560 hours under the boulder of LIFE. What the hell gnarly-ass job did this man have that made him think chopping off a body part was a better alternative? Was he a mass grave excavator? A puppy skinner? Khloe Kardashian's bikini waxer?
Many would have filed this under Today's Dumbass, but we have to applaud this man for his dedication to living the dream of a life without work. Sometimes you have to destroy (and roast in the oven) to build.
