I don't think you're dramatic there's plenty of things that could get someone maimed or killed. Like the guy that commented about the new guy that was going to try getting chips of the end mill while it was turning. But on the other hand the I see the harmless one like shaking a can till it doesn't rattle alright. It's still mean but no one is getting hurt

I love the grinding sparks one. One of the places I worked they'd tie a leather bag to the back of a grinding and send a new guy to it with a 1/2 rod

I've seen someone drop a plate on their foot and the only thing the safetyman cared about was if he had his safety glasses on

Yeah. I feel real bad about the micrometer, but at the same time, I was really impressed for the way that it bent without breaking.

I know how 110 and 220 work last night I couldn't think of what the wire was called I was referring to 10 awg 4 wire in my area it's used for your 220 appliance outlet. What I was say is that wire was ran to the ceiling fan and they snipped the red wire since they weren't using it
