All I remember about that guy (aside from a vague sense that he’s a cheap, slimy shithead but not even the worst because that would make him remarkable) is a video someone put together with a bunch of his pet phrases and blunders. Not funny enough to make him even a little more likeable but hearing anyone say “call it what you want” now brings me a brief flash of revulsion.
That sucks, some people react in shitty ways in a crisis but I’m glad your impulse was to act and not just be a bystander. There’s a furious storm of chemistry going on that can trick this weird thinking meat into lashing out in irrational ways.
I’ve known some drivers who were completely oblivious to the state of their vehicles: they’d keep on trucking until the smoke pouring out of the hood got too thick to see and then stick their head out the window for the remainder of the journey. Only slight exaggeration. The old Simpsons trick of fixing a “Check Engine” indicator with a strip of electrical tape on the display turns out to be less than ideal, who could’ve guessed?
In any event, you spent that extinguisher for some valuable experience not just on the technical “Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep” side of things but also the human component. I hope you will continue to help those in need since it sounds like you’re the type of person who feels compelled to respond rather than sit back and film a clip for the 'gram or whatever.
