Tempting Fate

Anybody else not like walkin over those metal grate or trapdoor things in the street? I mean, I know they're prolly designed for people to walk over (just like the Titanic was designed to withstand icebergs) but that shit just don't look sturdy. Ever look down one? Its always like a 70 foot drop, more than enough to shatter every bone in your body into a fine powder if you hit the bottom. Seems like such an avoidable way to lose your life.

I've actually seen some young assclown punk jump up and down on one until it went down a little further than it was supposed to. All you heard was a rickety creak, and dude instantly saw the error of his ways in midair. He got off that sombitch faster than a greased crackhead. Like, he didn't even step off it, he just came down off a jump, hit the grate to bounce again, heard the groan of overworked metal, stopped a foot off the ground, and appeared 2 feet away from the place he was floating like a glitch in a video game with a look of utter terror in his eyes. My fear was legitimized that day.

Add into the equation that I'm not the smallest dude in the world (6'4" 230ish) and its just not good math. I just know there's gonna be that one time where I step on one of them mafuckas and that shit collapse and send me plummeting to my untimely demise...ain't nothing cool about that. So if I like you, I beg you...don't walk on those things. The life you save may be your own. Of course, if I don't like your bitch ass, feel free...
