The way i see it is #4,7,8 are Mondays. The rest are future Darwin Award winners. And #4, 8 are only Mondays because of someone else's stupidity. Still, made me laugh, thanks Scarecrow
If they did a Job Hazard Analysis prior to starting the work they would have known you don’t need five guys on the deck of a three-ton to guide a pallet. Next time I’m sure they’ll do better. Arty
#1: That is some crazy stacking though. #5: Hardhat's the real hero here. I have a feeling he's still gonna have a horrible day (or year) though. #9: "Hmm, load's all unbalanced. Better start filming!" When I hear that noise it brings me running like a madman.
The lift was a three platten slide. He was only a foot into the second platten. He had at least another 12 feet capability. It was likely the same lift that stacked 'em. Johnny fucked up.
A legend, "The Crazy Frenchmen" from my home town drove log truck. He was always overloaded. If he got to a bridge he could get under he would let air outta his front tires. Put her in granny gear and take off. When he got to the bridge he'd slam on the brakes bringing the nose down and put er to the floor. About every bridge in that area was scrapped or mangled in some way. You would drive under a bridge and look up and, yup, Larent has been here.
#1 obviously never played with blocks as a kid, there is just too tall to be stable thing. #3 going all in.. I would have drank the coffee and then tossed it though. #6 is going to need a expensive instrument cluster and antennae at the mast top.
My mom had a China Cabinet full of all kinds of fancy, expensive glass ware. Depression glass, China tea sets, cut glass sets, etc. All pretty valuable even as far back as 1967, when I was 7 years old. She made the mistake of putting my new plastic machine gun on top of the cabinet when the noise got to her. Like that would stop a 7 year old from getting the toy. All I had to do was put a chair in front of it and climb the cabinet. Which I did, not knowing as a kid that it would make the cabinet top heavy. Yep, over the cabinet tipped, spilling all the glass ware onto the floor, breaking all but 1 or 2 plates. She first told my grandma down the street to come and get these twin boys before I kill them. Then she took the last plates and slammed them on the floor, breaking them also. She and my Dad cleaned the mess up and put it in our burning barrel by the road. Back then in our small town you could burn papers and trash so long as you had a screen on the top of the 55 gallon drum. The broken glassware had a teapot in it that they kept firecrackers in. Not falling out of the teapot, they didn't see it, and swept it up and put it in the barrel with the rest of the mess. About 1 AM, they were sleeping and heard the firecrackers start to ignite, and they were out by the road in PJ's, with buckets of water trying to put the garbage fire out that caused the firecrackers to go off. Obviously that was a story in the family until I was probably 20 or older, at almost every family get together. I could tell about the time one of my older brothers shot the other older one through the kitchen window with a BB gun, in the cheek right below the eye. Or how that same second oldest brother swung a golf club in the living room of our century old house, with the very old and fancy chandelier. Yep, he hit it and broke it to pieces. Fun times, and fun memories. Small town life did not have much other excitement than what you made yourself.
In 44 years I have never painted a bridge that did not have at least one 'too high' scratch. Before about 2003, when platforms and engineering came into play. Whenever we saw a ship coming and we were working center span, we would always get off the scaffolding and into the steel until they passed. Did one in Toledo, we would sit in the steel and say hello the the crews ont he bridge as they went by.
as entertaining as these are, who actually videos someone getting a haircut (for instance). Just being a "buzz" (swidt) kill. No reflection on Kenny, just questioning the validity of these stupid M'Frs.
Gems. All of them.
ReplyDeleteThe tea tray, though...I mean...
I agree with Dan. These are all gems. UFB!!!

#2: That's me the first and last time I went skiing.
ReplyDelete#9: It's alive!
why would the pallets be stacked that high? any average fool can see problems here.
ReplyDeleteIf you unstack them one pallet at a time (like they were stacked) it is generally not a problem. Looks like Johnny wanted to save time.
DeleteIn case you didn't notice, Johnny was on a lift that couldn't reach the top pallet.

Delete9. It that one of Elmer's appliances?

ReplyDeleteIf they weren't scrapped before, they needed to be sent to scrap afterwards!

#6: an auto-duck mast. Genius.

Delete#3. What the heck did she expect? Wimnez geezzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteShe didn’t even finish drinking the partial cup left in her hand. Or look down to see what damage was done. She doesn’t deserve nice things.

#8 is why the Rolling Stones had an M&Ms clause in all their appearance contracts.
ReplyDeleteConfused with VH.
Delete#7. Get that man a set of BDUs.
ReplyDelete#7 Leave the sides long, but a little off the top.
ReplyDelete#7 He should go to a barber college not a barber junior high.
ReplyDelete#4 is my life in four seconds.
ReplyDelete#9 I'm impressed that it didn't unplug itself. It's as if the plug was doing double duty as security for washer escapes.

ReplyDelete#5- They did have their hard hats on
ReplyDelete#6- Yeehaw!
#9- took the video rather than turn it off & rearrange the towels
