@OP
You posted this several months ago...maybe even a year. I have been telling people about this and showing them this video since then. Fuck that job.

When he gets to the transmission line part there aren't even any fucking hand holds or rungs. Fuck that. Fuck that job.

I would vomit and cum at the same time both during the climb and during the fall to the ground

I fucking love this. I don't know what's wrong with me but honestly I fucking love this. I kept imagining I was there and holy shit I wanted to be there. It's dangerous sure, but did any of you stop to notice how fucking awesome it is also? I was getting an adrenalin rush from just watching the video.

I wonder if I'm in the wrong profession.

I climbed a ground BTS while in high school, was part of practical work experience, was kick ass. Can only imagine how fucking awesome this must be.
Wish I could score such a job.

I like how critical of safety equipment he is.

@previous (Killer Lettuce !!iNo3FkiZx)
cant you just use normal english?
does this mean 'i like how much he needs safety equipment' or ' i like how little safety equipment he has' ?

Anonymous K replied with this 15 years ago, 1 minute later, 17 hours after the original post[^] [v] #256,553

@previous (dreamworks !AIy/L67q.s)

the second one, i guess

but both of those pretty much say the same thing anyway

in fact no

critical as in criticise

i misread his post

"I like how [someone] criticises safety equipment so much"

(Edited 1 minute later.)

I don't see how it's confusing, but I'll spell it out.

I found the voiceover's criticism of safety equipment to be amusing.
