Wicked hand lacerations that he has no clue how he got. Says he "just woke up and they were there." Police later come by and fill in the rest of the story. This young man gets into an altercation at a bar in the early hours. He ends up punching out one of the front windows of the bar. He proceeds to walk home drunk to his apartment, leaving a long trail of blood a few blocks. His neighbors see the trail of blood around 600AM, get concerned, and call EMS. EMS shows up and the patient's ROOMATE lets EMS in to collect the unconscious young man who passed out in the living room bleeding out. That's an awesome friend/roomate right there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705663424035881576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-86147093507076813072013-09-02T14:09:29.996+03:002013-09-02T14:09:29.996+03:00Doc - It makes no difference in terms of whether h...Doc - It makes no difference in terms of whether his "friends" are completely selfish shits or not but I would be interested to know whether the guy's condition might have been any different if it had been called in a couple of hours earlier.Ugihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453326095140897474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-22613248673724654942013-09-02T14:05:29.260+03:002013-09-02T14:05:29.260+03:00A friend in this context is clearly one whose conc...A friend in this context is clearly one whose concern for their own culpability will not overwhelm their concern for their "friend"'s life.

My husband is currently working on his bike. Its a 70s Kawasaki that was his and fathers project bike. But he's already been warned that he not only has to wear a helmet but body armor as well. <br /><br />His friends are in a motorcycle club, but never in a million years would they let him ride without proper safety gear much less leave him stranded to die. People disgust me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489097646577128922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-54216859386292612722013-08-31T12:10:14.828+03:002013-08-31T12:10:14.828+03:00They have been officially nominated for the pres...They have been officially nominated for the prestigious ultimate bastards award.
