He was clearly the guy who microwaves fish at the office so it'll just be back to everyone side-eyeing him and ignoring his ideas like normal once he's back

The clickbait drama is pathetic. Plenty of mistakes were made but he wasn't exactly abandoned. They were a group of coworkers on an annual hike to raise money for charity. The guy who got lost decided to make the final summit push on his own (which he had done last year too), despite some in his party already on the descent. On his own return he got off-route and made a bunch of less-than-ideal choices.

If I was hiking with my coworkers, I'd probably bag the summit on my own if I had the opportunity to continue too. And I bet a few folks here on HAZ would do the same. Whaaaaaaa :worthy: !
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

It's never complete till ya get the Chumley Summary. I was disappointed that there were no mountain lions, bears or cows involved.

I think it’s safe to say, I wouldn’t be hiking with a group of my coworkers in the first place, but if I really had to, it would be to see who cries.
Stop crying and just go do the hike.

Had to put this somewhere-- New York TImes---"Sitting All Day Can Cause Dead Butt Syndrome" maybe that was what was wrong with this guy. He just wasn't in shape.
