Tetanus shot?
No joke. Get the booster if your last tetanus shot was more than 5 years ago.
And to note that you need to have a tetanus shot within the past five years to work in instances like this. Most people assume since it’s every ten years that you’re good to go, but for puncture wounds you want to ensure you’ve had it within five years since most items we ca...
My bf had one of his fingers crushed by a machine at work, got to the ER and the doc said "When was the last time you had a tetanus shot" my boyfriend said "uhhhh" and the doctor said "today, got it"
Just rip it out and get back to work
Dead ass 😂
lol it was yesterday but it was lodged in deep
Rub some pizza on it.
Buddy you got braces on every joint may be time for a desk job.
This is hilarious 😂
😂😂😂😂 got the full Steph Curry set on
This cracked me up and I wear a knee brace
Doesn't your DSP offer safety footware via Zappos? I haven't delivered for Amazon in ages, but we used to get a like ~$120 credit for safety boots and shoes.
it does but they’re heavy and my dsp approves sneakers if we have ankle protection
Mine makes ours be high ankle no slip steel or composite toe. Imagine that in the summer jfc
I doubt any safety shoe will protect you from this, unless they offer platforms
It’s more fun when you get to see it poke through the upper…been there. Get a tetanus shot, be a big baby for whomever cares for you for a day or two and find a puncture resistant sole. Wish you better days.
i’ve had it happen to my right foot when i was 15, it wasn’t fun😭luckily im updated on the shot
That’s a crazy looking spider.
What kind of ankle braces are those? I’m interested in picking up a pair!
i believe it’s the futuro brand from walmart! i took them from my dad and they’re the best
this and random holes is why I tried to stay off grass as much as possible. I hope youre up to date on your tetanus shots OP
Those random holes are the worst
I kept stepping in shit, thank god it was during the winter and I could wipe it in the snow
bruhhh here is the biggest sign I can get from the universe to really stop walking on peoples grass lol hope you're okay!
it wasn’t even on their property😭it was on a public place
Home alone type shit.
Bro you’ve been done if you need all those braces already imagine in a few more years you’ll be needing a scooter to deliver 🤣
i’ve had injuries prior to this job, just trying to protect myself 🤷🏾♀️
If that went into your foot you absolutely need a tetanus shot
Stay out of the grass
Consider using the driveway
Hate to spoil it for everyone but if those aren’t Amazon approved footwear he can’t sue. That’s why they make you buy/wear them. If they are the Amazon footwear then you have a case
Wrong
I hope you went to the hospital. That thing is rusty and you probably should get a tetanus shot.
Omg years ago, my best friend lived next door and his dad was a carpenter restoring an old house. Once upon a time, I recall feeling a stabbing pain in my arch (I was flat footed so i assumed it was linked to that) but after school I noticed a rusted nail in my shoe for the wh...
That is actually your shoe
went through the shoe😔
Prolly should get a tetanus shot
That doesn’t look like a straw
Is that a caltrop
You mean the final nail in the coffin? 😏🤣
Hate to break it to you but that's not a straw.
Thats not a straw. Hope this helps
Nah that's lodged in the foam.
lock in you got rescues to do
Thank god them shoes have a 10 inch sole. Boy walking around with some sport heels on
I hope your ok that looks painful as fuck
Something something 20 stops behind something something pick up the pace
That doesn't look like a straw.
I noticed your wearing a brace on damn near everything. What worked wonders for me (also wore knee brace) was switching out if my Max Cushion shoes for a trainer with a stiffer a lower stack height and more firm midsole. The super squish isn't gotta for your joints
we can’t work with regular sneakers without ankle braces on but i use these shoes to run and they’re super comfortable, i was just unfortunate to have that happen yesterday. the knee braces are for compression on my knees due to RA
Oof nothing like a rusty sod staple in the foot. You can thank the landscapers for that one
I'd recommend maybe getting these. I might get them too 👀 Slip-Resistant ACE Dart 4SG ESD Puncture Resistant Work Shoes https://share.google/aBZ8TBLmGa2bVwNsN
I live in the south and we call this a “Tuesday”… happens more than it should but still pisses you off
That’s a lawn staple. They’re used to hold down underlayment for rock or mulch.
Idk how I got here bc I’ve never delivered anything but I can tell you what’s in your foot. It’s a 12ga sod staple. It’s used in planter beds to staple the weed mat and irrigation down to the ground before filling with rocks or bark or whatever, and sometimes used directly int...
Sod staples. Those things hurt like a mf, please get a tetanus shot.
Damn, did it pierce the skin, if so you better go quick and get that tetanus shot my friend, this shit sucks, Im curious if there is any legal action you could possibly take.
Kyle is already done you still in stop 56
Looks like a fence fastener, commonly used with steel barbed wire fence posts.
Waaaaa, grow a pair
No joke, no one should get a tetanus shot. I got one in 2020 and then discovered they are pointless and possibly harmful. When was the last time your friends or family got "lockjaw' it doesn't happen! They are lying to us.
I once step on those “Do not back up, severe tire damage” spikes at a gated community. I was wearing crocs and the spike went like butter into my feet, it was my last stop that I had skipped earlier cause I couldn’t get in, that’s why I step on the spikes because I was going t...
That’s not a straw
Where is the straw?
I feel the two ankle braces with my whole soul lol
What a freaking weenie. Drop the buttplug and get back to work.

what accessories you got?
Good thing tetanus shot last 8-10 years. Hopefully, yours is updated.
If you don’t sue, shame on you
So he should sue a piece of scrap metal?
Don’t you mean your last leg?
He's standed all he can stand and he can't stands no more
could’ve led to medical debt
I deliver wearing ARIAT Work boots - steel toe, ankle support, electrical hazard and water proof. Very practical, and very comfy. Will save you against something like that
How does boots work for you in the summertime? I'm seriously considering getting another pair after wearing some through the winter. I hate sweaty feet but the brand I purchased are truly comfortable shoes/boots.
Well shit. I know a guy who got shot in the bean bag and he tied off his bleeders, sewed it, staying in the fight to earn the Navy Cross .. Yet this stops you. Im sorry man, id get better shoes though theres even some glass in this world one may step on...
i mean if you had a rusty piece of metal in your foot you’d be in pain too ? just posting for comedic relief
Not the lamborfeeties
Not only in your foot, but there appears to be something in your shoe
Your working wear work boots
It wasn’t the two ankle braces and a knee braces that were the final straw 😂
Buddy. You gotta wear some better footwear.
Did you call Fire and Rescue, or Ambulance? Did you go to the ER and/or Urgent Care? I wish you swift recovery!
Are those caltrops???? 🤦♂️
Looks like the pieces that hold a chain link fence to the poles.
File a workers comp claim Sit on couch for couple weeks Apply for other stuff
Good thing you were wearing shoes.. i like to occasionally deliver bare. 😅
Go get your tetanus shots.
Sheesh, hopefully you are up to date on you’re tdap vaccine
Them don't look like safety shoes to me. We gone have to let you go, you a liability to the company sir.
Look st the way you stomped they package 📦. Sometimes Karma work quick.
I wear knights armour when I deliver, I bought it off Amazon
In your foot or your shoe?
went through the shoe and in my foot
Final straw? More like the final nail in the coffin.
Mannn wth is that 😭

2 ankle braces and atleast 1 knee sleeve? Looks like you need to find you a desk job bruv
Don’t walk in grass and look at where you walk very simple buddy. Take accountability
Straw wouldn't be strong enough to pierce rubber like that, that looks more like metal
thought it was a spider
What are those?
No way that’s in your foot. You mean shoe. Cmon man get out of the grass 😂😂
the soles on those shoes are thick as hell, good thing you wear them or that’d end up in your foot.
Why you walking in the grass that the whole problem
Damn gang knee brace and ankle brace . Job is kicking your ass
Tetanus shot. Now
This is why people who work own work boots.
What new balance are those? They look comfy as hell
Stop walking through yards
In your foot? Or in your shoe?
Oh frail ass.
I mean if you used the proper path instead of walking over the grass you probably would have spotted it
Go get a tetanus shot, you will get lock jaw also known as TMJ if you don’t. Be careful, rusty metal cause lock jaw. A condition where the temporal member joint stiffens feeling restricted in movement, causing pain and discomfort. Stretching the jaw feels good then it pops...
Tetanus shot?
Anyone that needs a brace on every joint seen in the picture probably just needs the attention this is the most petty complaint ever
I was always taught never to walk across other people's grass. I always thought it was a respect thing but it would probably also avoid situations like this. Much easier to see a big pointy piece of metal sitting on concrete then buried in the grass. Only takes an extra couple...
Buddy, you need to make a claim against the homeowners insurance. That's what that's for. Don't miss out on the bag 💰
Amazon's paying you for this injury I hope
Compression sleeves on his knee say enough... I bet he tells everyone his knees are blown
Crying over you not being aware of your surroundings?
FYI everyone, you can get TDAP vaccines for free at Walgreens.
Don't walk in the lawn. Wow, problem solved.
My brother in Christ. First off I gotta say, those shoes are a practically a scam, they do not give you “toned ass” or anything like that. Second, YOU ARE DELIVERING PACKAGES! You should not be wearing shoes like that, you don’t know these people, and what they’re leaving in...
This is why you stay up to date with tetanus shots. Tetanus is deadly and once established is incurable.
Probably didn’t even go through the sole of the shoe
Caltrops?
That's why as a UPS driver, we are always told to use designated walkways. Driveways and sidewalks. Yards tend to have many hazards, like things that poke your foot, trip hazards (Christmas decorations are always good for this) and open holes. Not to forget dog waste. And no,...
now you see why we wear safety shoes and not regular tennis shoes

Crazy idea. Walk on sidewalks and pavement, not lawns and landscaping.
Did it go through your shoe and into your foot?
Worker's Comp ASSEMBLE and you're fired.
bro missed the perfect opportunity :(
Braces all over you but wearing non protective footwear.
Always gotta watch where you walk my guy. Especially when you’re in any logistics position. Your legs and feet matter
U know damn well that shit didn’t get half way through that foot long mid sole.
Damn, well if you had the Amazon approved shoes from Zappos probably would’ve done the same lolz. Serious that’s terrible hopefully get a shot for tetanus. Im glad I go away from that craziness of a job. Im sure they care and probably asked you to finish the route and not ge...
Walking in someone’s yard?
Everyone needs to stop buying these EVA foam bottom shoes… they are absolute garbage and designed to wear away faster than anything else. They are seriously not appropriate for any sort of work.
That looks nothing like a straw
Sorry, that's metal, not straw.. now get back to work!
In your foot or sole of your shoe??
I don’t think that’s a straw
Watch your step
Where are you Amazon approved shoes?
Knee brace, ankle brace, leg brace, probably got on a back brace like god damn bro now you need a foot brace
I can't see it, is it literally your last straw? That's it? No more?
Sheesh and I thought random coyote traps were the only things I had to look for (seen multiple on rural routes you really gotta lookout fr)
So stop stepping on sharp shit.
Lol. I hoop in those ankle braces. Best brace for the price for sure
Old metal in the ground? Sounds like tetanus
Stay off peoples lawns
Oh poor driver, anyways.
Get a real job then
Damn dawg you got too many braces. Just do yoga and be away with braces for good! 👍
Ya holy shit brother you have more braces on then a nfl lineman
Boots have metal in the bottom to prevent things like this, hard toes, ankle support… gotta dress for the job
Stop walking through people's yards to deliver, do what everyone else in the service field does. Walk up the driveway and watch out for people's dumb shit.
gotta put Kevlar insoles inside your footwear
Watch out for claymores.

Seems this is an excellent example of why sidewalks are the best route. A person can see if there are any obstacles to be avoided.
Time for a tetanus shot
Stay off of the grass
i was wondering where i left that rusty bit of wire. thanks for finding it.
That shoe look thick as hell you aight
Why you put it in your shoe, your last straw?
Get some trail runners with a hard sole.
That isn’t even through the shoe 😒 did you not get enough attention as a kid or something? Y do you have on so many damn braces
You walk in people's yards?
no
Customers putting out CALTROPS to deter porch pirates.
Where proper work shoes. Not foam sneakers.
Get a tetanus shot
Yo cant park there . im 3 stops away let's go
