    (90s movie announcer voice)

    She, was just an innocent girl, trying to get a leg up on household chores…

    … but she never expected, to get tripped up, in a romance, of ethically dubious proportions…

    … coming, this summer…

    … April’s Spring Cleaning.

    (fade to black with movie title, with the sound of a squeaky ladder being folded and unfolded increasingly rapidly)

    Wait, the original was not in English? How would that pun work in any other language?

    Jokes aside, ladder fall accidents are terrifyingly dangerous and will fuck you up.

        It’s a bit odd that you know so many people that have fallen off of ladders. I’m not saying it’s suspicious, but still, maybe someone ought to look into it.

        Damn that’s brutal…

        I’ve jumped out of ladders as I’ve felt them starting to fall a couple of times, never more than like 2 metres high though, and it’s scary.

        I wouldn’t climb anything higher without strapping my self up to something, it’s just asking for a quick grave…

        I fell off a step ladder as a teenager and physically was only badly bruised.

        It has left me with a lifelong minor fear of ladders though.

      Agreed. My one friend’s dad fell off a ladder and landed on concrete. He had a lot issues as a result. I believe he recovered mostly from that before being diagnosed with really early pancreatic cancer (a year after the fall and was actually caught on a CT scan bc of the fall). He passed away a few months ago.

      People don’t give falls the respect they deserve. I worked at a place that required fall-arrest harnesses for anything over 5 ft. It was a pain for sure, and people loved to bitch and moan, but a 5 ft fall can genuinely be deadly.

        a 5 ft fall can genuinely be deadly

        Most adults are tall enough that their brain/head/face can get serious injuries in an uncontrolled loss of consciousness. Any additional height simply makes the fall harder to control and increases the energy that needs to be safely dispersed.

        Yes, even falls from household ladders are deadly serious.

          Place was extremely serious about safety requirements. You would have gotten fired quick if you didn’t follow it.

        Relative of mine dropped 3 meters down and since then is heavily disabled. Happened at the ripe old age of 8 years.

        Falling down and landing head head first is lethal at any age. Ladders don’t even have to be a part of it, normal standing height can sometimes be enough. It happens more to older adults because they don’t have the speed or mobility to break their own fall, but it can kill a youngster too if they’re not careful.

    Kept referencing this when I played Assassin’s Creed Origins. “What are you doing, (Djoser’s) step-pyramid?”
