The Fun Police Strike Again

[Armoured Gideon]

S.D. I've still got my 'Rambo' knife as well. I used to think the black blade was well cool!

I think this highlights one of the many reasons why I would like to see the collapse of society. It points out one of the fundamental flaws in society's understanding of what is right and what is wrong, it is a step too far to deny someone the use of a perfectly good tool because they 'may' use it in the wrong way and harm someone.

I work on building sites and this week I have been on a site where I am now expected to wear a hard had and a yellow vis' jacket as well as gloves and goggles inside the house I am plastering! I'm not allowed to wear shorts and must wear a long sleeved top as well. I work alone in a house that has walls and a ceiling with no obstacles or dangerous hole for me to fall in! Where will it end?
The company's reason for my ridiculous outfit inside the property? 'Just in case'. When I tried to reason with the boss and say that the 'uniform' was unecessary and was actualy hindering me from doing my job safely (sweat running in eyes, steaming up goggles) he politely told me 'Those are the rules, if you don't like them then leave'
The funny thing is the people in the office enforcing those rules are all sitting around in short sleeved shirts with no hats or vis' jackets and no gloves or goggles because there is no need for them in an office enviroment!

Makes my blood boil!! GGrrrrr!
