Morbidly A Beast:
Have you ever had to correct someone on how much you weigh?
Today I was going to use a ladder to clean the ceiling at our shop and I was like I’m not sure this thing will support me i read the label on the side and it had a 300 lbs weight limit and i just looked around for another ladder and none of them were close finally another guy comes out and says “oh cmon man you’re not that heavy you can’t be much more than 300” and I’m just like nah bro I’m way over 400 and to that he just used the ladder, I ended up just helping what I could from the ground.
We have awesome stepladders at my work, weight limit 200... Which I've exceeded within first few years. Now at 290+ a decade+ later they make me a little nervous. Have started to creak and feel the rungs shift a little under me. Usually try and stay on 1st rung or place a foot on countertop or table to distribute weight. Mostly stick to sturdy little one step stool whenever possible.
Parents got me a 3 stepladder with 250 to limit for 🎄🎁 last year, thinking "heavy duty" was adequate. I did not correct this assumption. Seems to be fine, feels sturdy, again I try to put one foot elsewhere if able. Fat people problems.
