If it looks stupid, but works, OSHA will intervene.

Hard work hardly works while workers hardly work hard. But working harder hardly works if hard workers hardly work at all.

Guy at my work did the "use a weed burner to thaw frozen propane" thing. Gas thawed unevenly and blew a hole in the side. Lucky he's alive.

So, what's wrong with that power strip, I mean, I guess the wood might ca- HE SCREWED IT THROUGH THE FUCKING CENTER. OH MY GOD.

I may have used a tiger torch to warm up a propane tank. Boss came by and started warming up the rubber hose.

ok, what is that last one?
AREyouKIDDINGmi
That's a powerful hand drier that we have in the States. It blows the water off your hands on to the electrical apparently.

I'm here in the States too, just used to seeing that chrome swivel nozzle on em :)

Ah, the one that turns it into a hair dryer? LOL
PunJedi
Aye :)
icantthinkofausernamesopotato
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure #19 is safe, because the screw's just going through the ground part of the socket.
icantthinkofausernamesopotato
oh ok that makes sense now
AngryWiseman
If circuit is not properly grounded,then if whatever device shorts to its own housing,you touch screw,you become ground,and zZZZAAAP.
poopfarts666
We don't know where the hot wires/busbars are inside the plastic housing. Breaking brittle plastic could shift other mounting points around
hawkinat0r
This right here. It -might- be okay, but is definitely risky. Whether this would fail depends on how the thing is built, which you dont know

Seriously, I posted something here recently and 1 hour later it was reposted with the top comment added to the picture and that made FP.

Ya know I thought the same thing, right up until I realized a sufficiently hot spark would melt the plastic INTO the gents face.

Works against the sparks. Don't know if it would slow down a splintered angle grinder blade though.

In my house (rental) last time it rained good there was water pouring through a live light fixture.

I bet Regional refused to fix it, and the GM had to just get a bucket because their hands were tied.

The universal reaction was just "Oh. Guess we didn't need that light anyway. "

#20 is just ingenious. My favorite, by far.
HeWentForARipLikeOhFuckYeaBud
I don't understand why the guy is on the lawnmower. Is he steering back and forth pretending to drive? Cause the crane is moving it.
Meowsma
Riding lawnmowers usually require weight on the seat to run.
IgnisInvictus
If they can figure out how to trim hedges with a lawnmower and crane you'd think they could figure out how to jump the connection.

Oh, certainly, but doesn't that also look *fun*? I mean, imminent danger to life and health aside.

step 1) lock it, step 2) tag it, step 3) notify a salaried member of management
ChrisWsrn
The salaried member of management replaces the shear pin in the bailer with a screw and removes the lock. Next day the bailer breaks...

and then theres pallets with boxes almost 10 feet high that just clog up the loading dock for a week while we wait for the repair contractor

Got one of those because we didn't have the proper permit. Guy who delivered it was about 180 years old. He was so scared to give it to us.

I've heard of welding related vision damage. So I'm sure many dipshits think blocking just the sparks is enough.
