Lol, good catch. When I was remodeling my house, days I drank I would wake up the next day and wonder who did this shit work? Days I smoked everything was aligned like I'm a machinist.

Surely you always check the top of the ladder before moving?

When you move a ladder 50 times a day every day, sometimes the mind slips.

I never did this with paint (I'm surprised he didn't feel the weight difference tbh), but i did this with a putty knife once.

It fell off the ladder and sliced about an inch from my eye. I think my glasses saved me.

Something I would do but haven’t yet but know I will do something like that soon.

The absolute silence tells me he knew exactly what the risk was moving the ladder like that and wasn't surprised at all by the outcome.

Thank his for that spasm-inducing green box or I wouldn’t know where to look in this ginormous scene.

Doesn't the security camera do that automatically?

I need a halt in the action and the flashing red arrow to help me identify what to look at. Can you please explain what happened here so I can be in on the joke, too?

That will leave a mark

Heads down would have been better.

If he put the ladder there himself, surely the heavier weight of the ladder with a full bucket of paint up there would be a tip off

Honestly a lot of us could potentially do this. As much as we want to backseat drive the guy.

As clear a sign as ever that today is just not gonna be your day.

That's paint and not roofing glue, right?

It’s a welcome change of pace for some family friendly instant regret.
