Hahaha I don't get that option. I get to comfortable when I'm up high. You think 60ft+ up in the air walking on a 10in walkboard, you wouldn't let your guard down, but I do.

2017-08-01 19:21:10 UTC  

Hahaha I used to clean out machines for a living, one day while cleaning the Banbury machine (machine that makes rubber used for tubes) this guy turned on the machine and the gate slammed shut and nearly took my arm with it

2017-08-01 19:21:31 UTC  

He said he "didn't see my tag"

2017-08-01 19:22:05 UTC  

He didnt see your tag? Wtf? Did he see his teeth come out?

2017-08-01 19:22:26 UTC  

Oh fuck that. Did you not have to lock out?

2017-08-01 19:22:42 UTC  

Lock out tag out!!

2017-08-01 19:22:52 UTC  

Always!

2017-08-01 19:23:14 UTC  

And only you have the damn key

2017-08-01 19:24:05 UTC  

I had my tag on it but I couldn't put my lock on because it would have cut power to machines that were still running. Arkansas factories for ya...

2017-08-01 19:24:45 UTC  

That shit doesn't fly in an auto plant

2017-08-01 19:25:02 UTC  

I quit that job because they ran me into the ground under absurdly unsafe conditions for next to no pay

2017-08-01 19:25:57 UTC  

The turnover rate for that job is ridiculous

2017-08-01 19:29:26 UTC  

I love shop talk, all my friends are soft bitches, so I don't get to trade stories like this often. I know I'm lame. Haha

2017-08-01 19:31:28 UTC  

Haha it's cool. Most people haven't really worked a day in their lives

2017-08-01 19:37:53 UTC  

I think one of the worst days was one when these dipshit contractors broke a line going to the carbon black tower. There was carbon all over the factory and we couldn't leave until we got it up. That same week they threw a bunch of steel cable in the trash compactor and ran it, the whole plant continued to throw trash in there until it was full to the brim. This was all during summer shut down so we spent over a day in heat index 116 heat climbing in and out of a trash compactor fully suited and booted(there was toxic chemicals in the compactor)

2017-08-01 19:38:01 UTC  

It was a fiasco

2017-08-01 19:39:14 UTC  

Also the first time I saw someone pass out from heat exhaustion lol

2017-08-01 19:41:27 UTC  

@Deleted User we'd say knock out drag out. The maintenance guys were idiots

2017-08-01 19:42:54 UTC  

Bro that sucks, contractors can be the worst.
Theold timer I work for was telling his buddy who's a carpenter had a new kid on the job, they were cutting plywood and the kid was supposed to be holding it, well he was fucking off and the saw kicked back and cut the carpenter's right thumb off, it ended his career. Circular saws I have great respect for.

2017-08-01 19:44:19 UTC  

Jeez no doubt. If I can tell someone doesn't know what they're doing, or are careless, don't pay attention, or do drugs I simply won't work with them

2017-08-01 19:45:08 UTC  

Not worth it

2017-08-01 19:57:30 UTC  

What i love about we all do is that we make a positive impact on society. Little bitches that have more calluses on their asses than their hands get little respect from me

2017-08-01 19:58:49 UTC  

Right. I swear i could lite a fire by snapping my fingers they're so rough.

2017-08-01 19:59:25 UTC  

@Deleted User my woman has a love hate relationship with my hands

2017-08-01 19:59:55 UTC  

So rough they practically sand down sugar walls

2017-08-01 20:01:07 UTC  

Mine is a scrub nurse so hers is the complete opposite

2017-08-01 20:01:27 UTC  

Slick as glass

2017-08-01 20:02:44 UTC  

My ole lady used to be a professional but now she is very happy raising our son and tending to the house

2017-08-01 20:02:59 UTC  

Gloves curbed mine from being too rough. That and I wash my hands compulsively

2017-08-01 20:03:29 UTC  

I can't hardly work with gloves I have to cut the fingers out of them hobo Style. I see too much with my hands

2017-08-01 20:03:36 UTC  

It doesnt help that i ride motorcycles

2017-08-01 20:03:47 UTC  
2017-08-01 20:03:59 UTC  

You guys need a bit more dexterity, correct?

2017-08-01 20:05:01 UTC  

I'm a basic bitch labor man atm so I can wear thick gloves and it doesn't really effect me

2017-08-01 20:05:32 UTC  

It helps to have Nimble fingers. They're a lot of small meticulous parts and pieces that you're working with constantly.

2017-08-01 20:06:10 UTC  

Gloves screw us electricians

2017-08-01 20:06:40 UTC  

I could see that

2017-08-01 20:07:35 UTC  

And hand lotion is for sissys😂

2017-08-01 20:09:14 UTC  

Haha I take the top layer of skin off with lava soap or hands down. Who needs lotion?

2017-08-01 20:09:58 UTC  

@Deleted User I'm the same way with my gloves, no fingers. I hate gloves.

2017-08-01 20:11:56 UTC  

Jersey gloves with tips cut off all winter long
