worst place to be in a zombi apocalypse

[drfulci]

My worst place to be, is work! out in the northern alberta wilderness at a work camp, hundreds of potential zombies everywhere, i hav 1 crumby door to a tiny room at the top corner of the building! no one is allowed weapons here, i hav my hammer, 1 knife, and my steel toes! the only plus is im a scaffolder, i can climb faster n higher than anyone and tear out the entrance as i go! but then id starve or freeze to death hundreds of feet abovf ground! i could give em an acid bath, then suicide bomb

In jail. Utlimately as a criminal, they are not gonna let you out, and if it hits the fan, I dunno, riots are one thing, an outbreak would be the total shits. Especially if you were in on some lame charges like bread jacking, wearing the wrong coat on Tuesday.

Of course, its cheesy to think about, but the reality of a zombie outbreak while you are mid flight over an ocean or something would suck some pretty sweaty hairy balls too.

For me I would love an outbreak at work. If I was in my bobcat, I am darn near zombie proof. I can position my arms too keep em out of my cab, and I am enclosed by windows and roll over, with side impact cage. If I was in a loader or something like a 988 I would also go to town, but you are not as protected in one of those. It wouldn't be hard for them to climb up, and the loaders don't have the protection the skidsteers/bobcats have. Grader would work. Have to climb a ladder to get in, so as long as you are movin, you should be OK, but again like the loader, if they swarm and start climbing onto it, you are fucked.
Track hoe would be useless. Bulldozer would be good, as it usually has ROPS, which is roll over protection, and cages. A few quick welds and mods and the thing would be a nice solid shark cage. Make that zombie cage, and a good dozer could clear a path through almost anything.

The people most screwed are those 9-5er's in the down town areas, and of course the people in the medical proffession and hospitals.

So chalk that one up for me too. Hospitals, prisons, and an airplane or oceanliner are the suckiest places for my a** to be. Pardon the Doukhabor phrase.

Friday night. Downtown.

[OVERKILL]

 +1 on the airplane and nine-to-fivers. Jail's kinda of a double edge sword, if you were a politician (governor or what not, as the politicians would have all control over such actions) the only thing that matters to you is you public image. Do you unleash these murderers and rapists on an already overwhelmed society so the survivors can vote against you, or let them die in jail so human rights activists can rally voters against you. I wouldn't be surprised if different countries/states/counties/jurisdictions made different decisions on the matter, so prison is a 50/50.
 Hospitals are a bad place in such  situation as well (and many other situations), work would depend on job and location, mine personally would not be that bad. I try to steer clear of places that do not at least allow me to carry my pistol, but trips to the courthouse to get new I.D.'s and driver's licenses every couple of years are a must so the county courthouse is high on my list. Being in a large city is a bad idea regardless of how you're armed.
 A butcher shop could be bad, if all the zombies were drawn to the smell of animal blood, or maybe a pet shop. Man this has got me paranoid, I need to go check the doors.

I still say downtown around midnight would be pretty bad. Partiers. Drunk. Zombie food. If they can run, they'll be fast food.

lol, nice one Robin
I would have to say the worst places to be are hospitals and government buildings. Hospitals because everyone that ignorant to zombie bites will head there for medical attention. Now, say, one of the doctors knows about zombie bites and the whole medical staff boarded up the place and shot out of the upper windows, that would be cool  . Anyway, government buildings would be bad because everyone wants protection and who better to do that than the good ole boys in blue? Thats a load of crap if you ask me. Those guys will be killing masses of uninfected people because they don't give a darn about the general public! Then places like Town Hall are ruled out because the govener or whatever will be like "Screw those poor assholes, im nice and safe with my guards and boarded up doors and windows in this nice big building" I say just head for the woods and live life simply until either the outbreak ends, you die, or you just don't want to go on. Hopefully that last choice is ruled out.

Hence why I have cards. Keeps it from getting boring.

[†CrimsonKing†]

ah poo on cards, i carry a nice book....yes im weird 

[OVERKILL]

 I can always find something to keep from being bored, seeing how many push ups or squats I can do (I'm up to half a push up and 2 squats, WOW), whittling stakes for vampires, panning for gold, looking for a Sasquatch, climbing trees, braiding rope, beadling, crafting a Pope hat from various materials, building a snowman and making him our best friend, cutting down trees with a herring, pretending a rock is an XBOX 360, well, you get the idea, a vivid imagination keeps me from being bored.

[Robin Holmes]

Yer gonna be fun to be around when the zombies rise

[†CrimsonKing†]

I like the idea of the Rock 360. Lets patent the idea and sell it on the market as the Rock 361. Yes i said 361 so we don't get sued. The games will be like "Bedrock" "Rock and Roll"  you know, rock puns like that 

[Robin Holmes]

Because someone had to say it, Rock on with that idea.

[OVERKILL]

 If he's still alive, somewhere on a warm, sunny beach, the guy that came up with the idea for the "pet rock" is being waited on hand and foot by young nubile women. If he can do it, so can we. Ya just gotta believe! But most of the things I listed are just things I do in my spare time now, imagine if I actually GO CRAZY when the outbreak occurs.

[†CrimsonKing†]

.....if you go crazy, your good with weapons right? WE.....WILL......DIE!!! Something tells me if you or any of us go crazy, the entire team will end up dead. I just want to say, if i were to go crazy and we all actaully got together in a group when the outbreak occurs, kick me out! Let me be crazy elsewhere because other survivors shouldn't die just because an idiot went crazy... no offense to anyone


(but about that Rock 361 idea, im still up for it  )

[OVERKILL]

 Naw, I'm a "tool" and "toy" guy, not a "weapon" guy. I've always thought of "weapons" being used by guys who would piss their pants if any type of confrontation occurred, or by those sickos that secretly hope they actually get a chance to shoot someone someday. All my guns are to "play" with, just plinking or targets. Or "food gathering or protecting tools", meaning they harvest animals to go on the table, or keep animals out of the garden so I can eat the vegetables later. I'm more accustomed to waiting on the right shot than making fast or hard shots, so I really wouldn't be a problem. I meant by going crazy I'd be doing stuff like having a staring contest with myself in the mirror, or riding a stick pony while trying to lasso zombies.
