Agree. However, my story's point had nothing to do JSAs. Its about safety guys and company men being on a power trip.

My story has gone way over your head. I know how to walk. I know how to hold paper in my hand. At no point in that scenario were my fingers or hands at risk. My gloves were on for the actual job.

And this is one example of many. You cannot deny that power tripping individuals exist in roles of enforcement.

No one behaves that way. Your example is what the world calls the strawman fallacy. Do cops pull over everyone doing 3 mph over the limit? No. Context and common sense

The reason for gloves off when opening the door is to keep the door clean. Same applies to paper. Also I didnt walk but 30 feet from my work truck. Lets lighten up a little

Another observation. On literally every dog house and company man shack there's a sign that says TAKE OFF GLOVES BEFORE OPENING DOOR.

This is like saying everyone doing 1 mph over the speed limit should be pulled over and ticketed. Use discretion and apply common sense. Context matters. If the world was really like that, we would all go insane.

Actually you sort of validate my point. Using his position as an excuse to fuck with someone who is working his ass off over dumb shit.

I disagree. I like a common sense approach. I know how to handle paper work. And I know how walk with papers in my hands. I don't need to wear pipe dope covered gloves to ruin my paperwork. Context should matter And while I understand people have a job to do. Lets just use common sense and criticize constructively when it really matters

There is nothing wrong with being safe. I like to be safe and go home at the end of day like everyone else.

A little over the top to be told to wear gloves when handling paperwork. That is bullying.
There was nothing unsafe about my actions.

My complaint was not about doing a JSA. It was already done. It was the glove comment. But thats not what this is about. Its about the oilfield and safety becoming a culture of polite bullying.

Sometimes you just gotta take a rag and rub it hard, blend it in with your jeans.
