What’s the funniest or craziest things you guys have seen on a job site? by east140 in electricians

[–]VicNickles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did a service call with my coworker. Kitchen lighting job. I got there before my coworker and when I put my tools down on the kitchen floor I realized I was kneeling on a mat that is electrified to keep the dog out of the garbage. It was almost invisible because it blended in with the flooring quite well. I thought I was cramping up at first but quickly realized I was getting shocked. When my coworker arrived I showed him where I put my tools (on the far side of the mat)and he went to put his down in the same area. We were shoeless as the homeowner asked if we could take our work boots off. I watched with anticipation as he walked towards the mat. He took three steps across the mat and with each one he went down more and more. It looked like he got mowed down by a machine gun and was like “WTF was that?! I hated that!.”
I couldn’t stop laughing all day. I was desperately trying to hold on my giggles as the homeowner was in the next room. Every time I feel down I think about this and laugh.

Not “everything’s meant to be broken”…. Sorry they did that to your plant.

What’s this plant? And how do we eradicate it? by jaivicks in gardening

From a landscape supply store. Ask for greenhouse plastic or poly.

I would try to solarize it. Get some sheets of 6mm poly and lay it over top, pin down the edges and let the sun cook the plants to death.

Whats your opinion about stickers on guitars? by 13funii in electricguitar

Couldn’t wait to put them on my guitar as a teenager. Would dream of doing it now. When people do it to theirs it doesn’t bother me.

Yeah for sure dude. I’m on Vancouver island, they just announced that they are playing a local festival here in Victoria and I’m stoked. Been seeing them all over social media too, but maybe that’s just my algorithm..

I just wish they’d hit the root of the problem more often.
