(1,639 posts)The clever protestor and his nod to soup, I mean. Not the barf-inducing content that is Whatshisface going on and on and on again. (So happy not to have to hear his voice on a regular basis anymore.)
I must say this regarding the force = power/velocity of a can of soup, however. I once lost a toenail to a can of soup falling out of a grocery cart and landing with its sealed edge right atop my big toe, which was not well protected by my canvas ballerina flats.
I often tell my story of that encounter with a soup can as a counterpoint to a stupid customer service call I took I as a Rep for a major cellphone network.
Customer called in on behalf of her grown adult son. Says that the little plastic door covering the charging port on his phone (many phones no longer have covers over the charging ports now.) has broken off and is wedged under the man's fingernail and she wants me to tell her what to do.
Take him to the ER to have it removed, woman! Is what I do NOT yell at her. But as someone trained to rework bills and re-set text package features, of course I am qualified to offer medical advice.
Getting back to my soup-can-meets-toenail horror. After my injury, while I was existing in a state of actually being nothing more than a big, throbbing toe, it never once occurred to me to reach out to Campbell's Soup, even though the incident was clearly their fault since it was Cream of Mushroom, no less.
Working in customer service offered a never-ending panorama of the human condition, if nothing else.
