true story

[TX REDNECK (R.I.P.)]

I'm now working part-time in a machine shop. The boss's son "works" there too. The son is a complete fucking heroin addict/junkie.

 

 

Anyway I'm talking to the toolmaker about constructing a fixture to make something, and the son is way in the back corner at the belt sander. We're watching him nod in and out. (this is after he spent 45 mins in the bathroom puking). He's sitting in a chair deburring some shit, and he passes out. We're laughing, its funny. then 5, 6,7 minutes pass and hes slowly creeping foward in his slumber and finally OOOOUUUUUCCCHHHHHHH!!.

 

 

In his junkie slumber he leans his face into the running belt sander. Yay!! fucking hilarious

80 grit. got the tip of his nose & his eyebrow. he cried like a baby

 

Yep, we just stood there & watched it happen

 

If drugs were legal, there would be a disclaimer on his heroin packaging that would have warned him not to operate equipment under the influence. Just another casualty of Drug Prohibition

That's just a beautiful thing. We all learn from our mistakes... but I bet he gets caught in the drill press next.

A guy at work was using a torch to heat up a door on a boxcar, when he saw that the handle was in the way he reached for it. He didn't move the torch so he stuck his forearm directly into the flame and burned a nice size hole into his arm. Carmen only have two tools one being a torch and the other a hammer and most can't use either!

It's a good thing that we keep them away from the locomotives.

Our old purchasing agent had a saying for this type of person. "That guy could f**k up a steel ball with a rubber mallet."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I hear stories like this. I read a story once that was printed in a reputable medical journal about a guy who worked in a shop with equipment that was driven by leather belts. Apparently he worked alone at night or something and for self gratification he would rub his pecker against one of the leather belts while the machine was running. Well, one night he managed to get his privates caught between the belt and the pulley and ended up losing one of his nuts. In a panic he stapled his scrotum together and then waited a few days to seek medical attention until the pain and swelling got too unbearable. It seemed unbelievable when I read the story, but it wasn't an article in the National Enquirer.

On that note, how 'bout some workplace safety films?

Back in 1974, I got a job working nights at a donut shop while I was going to college. Got my job because the lady who I replaced had a drug problem, her ring came off her finger and fell into the deep fat fryer, she reached in for it......

Anytime I hear about someone getting fryed with cooking oil, it reminds me of a scene in Straw Dogs
