If it weren't for the collective effort of society (in this case, think the people who maintain your sewer and the person who plumbed those toilets), you'd be digging your own hole to shit in, outside, while you literally freeze your ass off.
OOOOHHHHH. It's a sincere thankfulness meme!
I was looking for a joke and coming up empty.
Thank you very much.
And the people who keep the electricity running, and keep the gas running, and built your house, and who exchange money for your labor, the person who designed your toilet, the person who built your toilet....
All modern luxuries we often take for granted are a massive collaboration between an incredible amount of people
I'm a power plant operator who will be working day shift on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The shout-out is appreciated. Even our own families often don't understand that this is just how it's gonna shake out most of the time. My in-laws get annoyed that we just won't be able to visit at the same time as everybody else, but they just don't really think about the power they're relying on for their holiday at home. They're weekday office workers, and they could probably do more than half of their work from home.
Thankfully my wife very much understands it and we schedule all holidays based on actual availability instead of expecting me to try to cram things in before or after my 12 hour shifts plus 1 hour commute each way on the day of. A lot of people in this industry wind up divorced, and I think the schedule is mostly what's to blame.
The paycheck will be great, but it's still nice to hear that appreciation for the time we and our families are sacrificing to provide for the rest of society. In this way, I sort of get to be one Santa Claus of many. We are making sure that Christmas comes to everybody.
Bold of you to assume we will get more than an inch of snow this winter.
Plumbers and such are heroes tho
Especially plumbers that save princesses from giant evil mutant turtles.
