Pumpkin Season Finally Turned Deadly
Canada, Farm, Ontario | Healthy | December 10, 2017
(I am working at a pumpkin patch and we have to move the rotting pumpkins to a huge garbage bin. I and two coworkers have the pumpkins in a ranger, a huge garbage bin, and are throwing them into the dumpster. [Coworker
#1 ] throws the pumpkin and it hits [Coworker
#2 ] on the head, like, smack dab in the middle of the head.)
Coworker
#1 : “OH, MY GOD, ARE YOU OKAY?!”
Coworker
#2 : “Yeah, I blacked out for a bit but I’m fine.”
Me: “Oh, god, hold on; let me get someone!”
Coworker
#2 : “I’m fine; I’ve had a concussion before I know the drill. Let’s finish this!”
Me: “What? No, I need to get someone! You said you blacked out!”
Coworker
#2 : “It’s fine; I’ll have my sister wake me up every few hours.”
Coworker
#1 : “She says she’s fine. I didn’t mean to hit her anyway.”
(Against my better judgment, we finished the pumpkins and all signed out and went home. [Coworker
#1 ] called in the next day and I saw she posted on her FB wall she was in the hospital with, guess what? A concussion!)
