I make medicine, so we have a lot of concentrated chemicals we use. One of the first things taught in any chemistry setting is "Do not sniff the chemicals, you will hurt yourself." Had a new guy in his first week, a graduated cylinder came back with a clear liquid in it to be dumped and cleaned. He decided to shove his nose over it and sniff it, figuring it to be water. It was not. It was HCl (we use it for adjusting pH levels). Knocked him out cold.
@@Vamptonius Yeah, he's very lucky. From Google: In high concentrations in air hydrogen chloride can make it difficult to breathe, and at very high concentrations continuing to breathe it can be fatal. Hydrochloric acid in contact with skin or other tissues can cause chemical burns that can be severe. Hydrochloric acid in the eyes can cause blindness.
One of the first things you should learn in chemistry is to waft chemicals if you wanna smell them. Better than in the past, chemists would often record the taste of random chemicals they synthesized
Seriously, how do some people make it to a certain age is a miracle. If anything, I'm just glad it knocked him out cold, hopefully with no side effects other than to be more cautious.
I did that in high school (nose was not in cylinder but close) and burned my nasal passage to my throat. Was actually a relief because it was spring so I didn't have to deal with hayfever for most of a month as my nose healed 😅 but I was also 17 and stupid whereas that sounds like an adult in the industry who should know better.
Worked at Walmart as a truck unloader. We had a new guy, let's call him Saul. He wouldn't do anything correctly. We had to legit do his pallets for him because he moved so slow. One part of our job was pulling pallets to the Salesfloor after they were stacked. One night Saul's on Paper and Chem. Big boxes, super easy to stack, good for training. His chemical pallets looks sketch as all hell. Visibly leaning. Nobody wants to pull it. We had a rule: if your pallet looked sketch, you either pulled it, wrapped it and pulled it, or downstacked and restacked it. Saul decides to just pull it. I came behind with an infants pallet. We get all the way to paper and Chem with no issues. Just when I think it's all good, BOOM. The entire pallet collapses, Soap, laundry detergent and fabric softener EVERYWHERE. Saul is staring at the growing blue tiedye puddle as it goes from one side of the feature isle to the other as though he can't comprehend what is happening. For the next 3 hours he's cleaning this spill, while I claims everything out. Final tally of lost product: 7 bottles of Downy fabric softener (2 and 1/3 cases 2 bottles of dawn dish soap. 2/3 case 8 bottles of Persil Laundry detergent 2 cases 1 bottle of tide Laundry detergent. 1/4 of a case Over $200 in lost product, another $1500 in hazmat inspection (we had no idea what the danger was to customers) And an extra $200 in overtime to rewax floors . One incident cost the store $1900.
I used to work in Cap 2 at a different store (working Cap 3 at a store close to home now). people who improperly stack pallets piss me off more than anything else. I've lost count of how many times I've had to claims broken glass or other busted merchandise because my coworkers don't care to destroy product as long as it means their job gets done quicker. it's not hard to stack a pallet in a way that won't risk it collapsing, it just requires patience and intelligence. apparently a few of my coworkers lacked that
Currently a cap3 employee here, and our wine display is in action alley in front of chems. I walked in one night to go clock in and side-eyed this 6ft tall chems pallet that was dangerously close to said wine display. Poor dude working that aisle that night didn’t realize how close cap2 had parked it and didn’t swing it wide enough when he pulled it out… clipping one of the boxes in the back against the corner of the display. It slid out jenga style and down went half the pallet of these heavy laundry detergent boxes, directly onto the wine rack. You can imagine the ungodly sound it made, and everyone, even the employees from the other side of the store, came running to make sure no one was hurt. Thankfully we were closed so no customers were in the store. It took the 3 janitors hours to clean all the wine up, took about 5 people to fix the display (they had to find another rack as the one that had taken the brute of the damage was bent beyond belief). No one was fired for it surprisingly, but then again my store always has a shortage of employees on all shifts so they really couldn’t afford it lmao. Especially after all the money they lost due to that incident. Oh, and the smell of wine lingered for DAYS.
I heard from this guy's boss on 3rd shift, the day after, he had lost control of his 8,500 pound electric forklift on a wet floor and was headed sideways toward a brick wall. He tried to stop his forklift from hitting the wall by sticking his foot out. Needless to say, the human leg / foot does not stop ANYTHING weighing 8,500 pounds when it doesn't want to stop. When they cut his shoe and sock off at the hospital, they found that the only thing connecting his foot to his leg was a 2 inch wide strip of skin and 3 tendons on top of his foot. In my 19 years there, they painted that wall 3 times but they never painted over his shoe print as a reminder to the 25 forklift drivers in that warehouse to drive safely.
Back in the stone ages, when McDonald's still deep fried their apple and cherry pies, I was on shift when a fry guy dropped a some paper sleeves for them into the hot oil. He instinctively reached into the hot oil to get them. Fried his hand. It was horrible to witness as I was a 16 year old. Hell even now I'd still be traumatized. That still oil doesn't "look" hot. 😥
I work at a boat sales place. I'm a Yard guy. We were moving trailers and boats around so we could can the grass mowed. The yard manager was driving a bit too fast on a john deere tractor and hit a brand new boat. The new owners were picking it up in a few hours. Fortunately he and a detailer were able to buff out the spot. This was months before I started working there but someone had a boat fall off a trailer onto the ground. Took 3 guys to get it back up and to this day the bosses still don't know about it. And the last one, same job, I ran into a cord that sparked like crazy. Turns out another yard guy when to "fix" the cord and made it a double male ended cord. He wasn't there when our boss saw it, but he was fired the next week he came back from his little vacation.
i used to work as a sales person and sometimes visited pharmacies with a coworker. he is supposed to play an introduction video on his ipad for the software we were working for. he unlocked his ipad and porn on full volume started to play. he excused himself, swiped until he found the introduction video and carried on like it was nothing then had a meltdown in the car
I use to have a classmate while studying to be a teacher. Dude rocked the punk/ bad boy vide and had a bit of a rep for not listening when drunk. Anywho, during a practical, he was in charge of some 6-7 graders and a fair few of the girls started to crush on him. It’s not uncommon, they are hitting puberty after all, but professionalism demands we do not act on it beyond informing that our relationships will always be teacher student. Problem starts when he semi flirts back, which his guidance teacher is far from happy about. They tell him to cool it and not it off. My classmate just sort of laughed and said “well, it’s not my fault their are into me. They are the sexist they’ll get right now so what’s the problem?” Needless to say our university called him in and told him that if they do much as heard a whisper of him being inappropriate towards anyone (child or adult) he would be leaving the university with police escort. Two months later he dropped out due to “toxic environment”
Reposting a story someone posted on a similar video about their own story. Way back in the day, a few decades ago. Teenager, just hired on at some massive industrial port complex. Kind of place that has thousands of workers and supports its whole city. Kid hires on in the port's lab department. Part of his job is to test and certify the compressed-air cylinders used by the port's firefighters. So one day he has a cylinder to test, puts it on the testing equipment, tries to open the valve... valve is stuck. Keeps trying. Valve stays stuck. Escalates to hitting it. Valve breaks off, and pressurized cylinder goes straight into a tank of CO2. CO2 tank ruptures, and starts filling the building with white smoke/condensate. Now, this is bad, but it gets way worse. Kid runs out of the building. Just across the way is the control tower for the entire giant port complex. Kid knows they'll see the smoke and waves his arms to try and let them know its ok. The control tower sees a building with many different chemicals in it billowing oddly colored smoke, and a guy in a lab coat running away waving his arms. So what does the tower do? They, very rightly, sound the port-wide general alarm. The general alarm that has never been sounded in earnest in living memory. The general alarm that is an actual air raid siren. The general alarm that orders every worker on the premises to stop work and evacuate. Six thousand people start to evacuate. The city fire department gets auto-notified and sends an overwhelming fire response. Two tanker ships in the port disconnect their lines and back into the harbor to get away from the fire or whatever the hell is about to try to blow them up. Total costs, a full day lost for the entire port and six million pounds (this was Britain) in expenses and lost production. Because of a teenaged worker who got careless with one oxygen cylinder. Worst part was, he had gotten the job through his dad's connections at the port. He slunk home that night and the first thing Dad said to him was, "Hey, I heard the master alarm earlier, what was that, some kind of drill or something?" Guy said that thirty years later he is still recognized and heckled on the street as "the guy who shut the port down"
I worked for an optometrist and one of my tasks was ordering trial contacts for our office stock and revenue contacts for patients when they placed orders. The buying group we used made it super easy to differentiate between revenue and trial: not only was it written there, but trials were in normal type, revenue was in bold. Super easy. We do not pay for trials, but obviously we pay for the revenue packs. I trained a coworker on how to order trials and revenue, but after I quit, my boss decided my way of doing things sucked (worked just fine for 4 years), and retrained this coworker on how to do it. It's worth pointing out our boss (the optometrist) didn't actually know how to do this either, but thought she did. This coworker somehow ordered everything backwards: all the trials were ordered as revenue, all the revenue ordered as trials. An order that should have been around $200 became a near $1,000 order. They had to return everything in batches and get special approval for such a large return. My boss realized shortly after that I had actually done a ton of stuff she didn't know about and that she should have let me write the manuals before I left.
While going through firearms training for the local private prison, one girl in my academy shot herself in the foot. Out of shock, she then threw her loaded pistol, which landed in front of half the cadets. Luckily it didn't go off.
Had a job at walmart cleaning the store as a glorified janitor. We had a guy nearly get fired because he failed to clean up the paint spill properly. He left it out with the absorbant material we used for over 2 hours. We had to take apart the section of the shelf and scrape it off the floor because of him, and his decision to leave it for the overnight staff. Our stores Head manager was piiiiisssed as hell at him, as was our supervisor at the time too. I often wander just how f-ed the store would have been had someones dog licked it, or some kid. He ended up getting canned for threatening to beat me up over it.
When my youngest sister worked at the crappy nursing home/rehab hospital down the street, one cna gave a poor old lady 2nd and 3rd degree burns from a shower (that later died from the injuries) and another patient who was beyond morbidly obese, had a foot snap off as the workers were trying to get her onto a toilet. My sister got to witness the last one first hand. I shudder at both stories
@@Meela9088 The place she worked at was horribly understaffed (years before covid), not sure if they are still like that, but I can only imagine. I'm sure she has more. Don't feel bad, stubborn old people are stubborn, they're gonna do what they want with or without you
I once thought I was going to get fired one time. I was calling out the names for the orders that was coming in. This guys name was FU as in “Kung Fu Panda” and I “not thinking about it” called out using the letters instead. I went “Arbys guest order for F U” and as soon as I said it, the “We will be right back” meme music came into my head. Aka my oh shit moment.
Hmm... I was in the Air Force back in the mid 80s. On our base we had an area called the Alert Pad, where aircraft (bombers and tankers) were stored in readiness for takeoff (Cold War days). Each bomber that was loaded with ordnance of a nuclear variety had to be guarded by two Security Police. Well, these two SPs one day were getting bored with guard duty so they started tossing small rocks INTO THE JET ENGINE INLETS. Yes. They were seen doing it, and other SPs had the pleasure of arresting them. They were locked up immediately and court-martialed ASAP.
My understanding is perhaps the guy who said that was just making an offhanded remark about how dude was considered for the promotion. He was probably like “oh wow a promotion?” “Yeah, you can thank so and so!” If that was the case then this guy blowing up about it makes zero sense. But we’ll never know the full story
Almost happened to my father as an adult. A nurse had to give him adrenalin to make his white cells move so that they could measure their rate properly. The nurse suddenly had doubts about the quantity of adrenalin for the injection. My father said : "I'll let you figure that out and come back another day." That's how he avoided getting injected with a thousand times the normal dose.
Friend of mine used to work at a call center. He had a very difficult customer, but he kept his cool throughout the call... Afterwards though he left a note on the account that said " * REDACTED CUSTOMER NAME * IS A * REDACTED * IDIOT AND NEEDS TO BE HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A HAMMER AND FED TO PIRANHAS!" Note: I only got to see the notice to explain letter from the company and that was how it was written. I saw it as I wrote his flowery BS response for him. It also helped that he was a good agent before that so while the client wanted him gone the company wanted to transfer him to another account with a new, 50% less paying contract. He asked for and got an immediate resignation instead.

I am a tractor trailer driver for a huge shipping company. One night, they had me working the yard. Moving trailers on off the loading and unloading doors. Well break time came, and 7 minutes into my hour lunch break, the hub manager came up to me ranting that he needed a trailer moved. I told him “Sure, after my break.” He didn’t like that answer, so he jumped into the switching horse, and tried to back the load onto the door himself. He hit the loaded trailer in the door three times before the landing gear on the trailer that was hit collapsed. He tried to blame me. Didn’t work. Security cameras. He was later promoted, and tried to get a yard jockey’s attention while the yard jockey was trying to put a trailer on the door. He jumped out the bay door that the trailer was going on and was crushed to death.
At my work place before I started, that was 4 years ago, heard a story saying a operator ran a machine while cleaning it, think you guys knows what happen, machine grab her towel, and grab 4 finger expect the thumb, suck the skin off, crash all 4 of her finger bone, she went pale in second, and yellow. Don't run a machine and clean it while it's running
I'm in construction I saw the demolition guy walk in a job at like 2pm on a Friday. He said and I quote "all I got to do is cut these out and I'm done" ended up catching the inside of the roof on fire then the water hose broke when they pulled it towards the fire. They did get it put out without much damage but it was a whole shit show.
The security box. My boss, an evil woman prone to make anyone culprit of her mistakes, did the same. Who knows how much money had to pay in order to first open the box and secondly buy another security box (she destroyed the keyhole with a drill). She tried to put the blame on somebody but no one was there at the moment and the security camera was viewed after our insistance. Idiot.
A pair of brothers at my work got hired about a week after I did. One of them came to work for one day, and sat down on the couch for half the shift before one of the managers told him that his shift had started. Neither of them came in again.
7:50 i love the concept of limited balls, they may b big but theyll short ur life span, employment or otherwise. makes me think of an entitled kid/adult saying to some big criminal "do u know who my daddy is, if u dont leave now--" criminal kills kid in some way. a popular trope for entitled @$$hats to get hospitalized or killed by the mc or a bigger worse antagonist. what i consider bravery, no fear and hence no awareness that comes with fear and so u make a stupid mistake. courage is when overcome fear and ur awareness even gets heightened more than if u were panicking.
So I did this wasn't fired for it but I was working at Arby's and managed somehow to pay a customers order twice so I had them pay for it and the car behind them payed the same price or something like that manager said I've been working here 20 years never seen someone screw up like that before

@@Meela9088 The place she worked at was horribly understaffed (years before covid), not sure if they are still like that, but I can only imagine. I'm sure she has more.
Don't feel bad, stubborn old people are stubborn, they're gonna do what they want with or without you
I once thought I was going to get fired one time. I was calling out the names for the orders that was coming in. This guys name was FU as in “Kung Fu Panda” and I “not thinking about it” called out using the letters instead. I went “Arbys guest order for F U” and as soon as I said it, the “We will be right back” meme music came into my head. Aka my oh shit moment.
Hmm... I was in the Air Force back in the mid 80s. On our base we had an area called the Alert Pad, where aircraft (bombers and tankers) were stored in readiness for takeoff (Cold War days).
Each bomber that was loaded with ordnance of a nuclear variety had to be guarded by two Security Police. Well, these two SPs one day were getting bored with guard duty so they started tossing small rocks INTO THE JET ENGINE INLETS. Yes. They were seen doing it, and other SPs had the pleasure of arresting them. They were locked up immediately and court-martialed ASAP.
Who the heck is legally obligated to thank their boss for a promotion? Sounds like definite cause for a lawsuit.
My understanding is perhaps the guy who said that was just making an offhanded remark about how dude was considered for the promotion. He was probably like “oh wow a promotion?” “Yeah, you can thank so and so!” If that was the case then this guy blowing up about it makes zero sense. But we’ll never know the full story
The one about the nurse tho... that was a major Frick up
Almost happened to my father as an adult.
A nurse had to give him adrenalin to make his white cells move so that they could measure their rate properly. The nurse suddenly had doubts about the quantity of adrenalin for the injection.
My father said : "I'll let you figure that out and come back another day."
That's how he avoided getting injected with a thousand times the normal dose.
Friend of mine used to work at a call center. He had a very difficult customer, but he kept his cool throughout the call...
Afterwards though he left a note on the account that said " * REDACTED CUSTOMER NAME * IS A * REDACTED * IDIOT AND NEEDS TO BE HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A HAMMER AND FED TO PIRANHAS!"
Note: I only got to see the notice to explain letter from the company and that was how it was written. I saw it as I wrote his flowery BS response for him. It also helped that he was a good agent before that so while the client wanted him gone the company wanted to transfer him to another account with a new, 50% less paying contract. He asked for and got an immediate resignation instead.

FFS I work with lasers like that and I don't want my hand anywhere near the cutting head unless i REALLY need to, even when I myself turned off the oscilator beforehand :|
Ok, “overweight banana” has me rolling XD

It's like KFC, but we don't have Popeyes here.

I've posted about those robot announcers so many times....
I am a tractor trailer driver for a huge shipping company. One night, they had me working the yard. Moving trailers on off the loading and unloading doors. Well break time came, and 7 minutes into my hour lunch break, the hub manager came up to me ranting that he needed a trailer moved. I told him “Sure, after my break.” He didn’t like that answer, so he jumped into the switching horse, and tried to back the load onto the door himself. He hit the loaded trailer in the door three times before the landing gear on the trailer that was hit collapsed. He tried to blame me. Didn’t work. Security cameras. He was later promoted, and tried to get a yard jockey’s attention while the yard jockey was trying to put a trailer on the door. He jumped out the bay door that the trailer was going on and was crushed to death.
I'd rather have a shortage on nurses than keep someone who's incompetence nearly killed a baby
Ikr? I was born premature back in 1992 and if there was a nurse doing a Beverly Allit back then she would have been fired.
At my work place before I started, that was 4 years ago, heard a story saying a operator ran a machine while cleaning it, think you guys knows what happen, machine grab her towel, and grab 4 finger expect the thumb, suck the skin off, crash all 4 of her finger bone, she went pale in second, and yellow. Don't run a machine and clean it while it's running
I'm in construction I saw the demolition guy walk in a job at like 2pm on a Friday. He said and I quote "all I got to do is cut these out and I'm done" ended up catching the inside of the roof on fire then the water hose broke when they pulled it towards the fire. They did get it put out without much damage but it was a whole shit show.
1:21 see mom, operation is real training!
That one with car should thank his lucky stars he wasn't fired. Most people would have been fired not put at a desk job.
The security box. My boss, an evil woman prone to make anyone culprit of her mistakes, did the same. Who knows how much money had to pay in order to first open the box and secondly buy another security box (she destroyed the keyhole with a drill). She tried to put the blame on somebody but no one was there at the moment and the security camera was viewed after our insistance. Idiot.
A pair of brothers at my work got hired about a week after I did. One of them came to work for one day, and sat down on the couch for half the shift before one of the managers told him that his shift had started. Neither of them came in again.
The one about the BMW& Rolls hurt my soul.
7:50 i love the concept of limited balls, they may b big but theyll short ur life span, employment or otherwise. makes me think of an entitled kid/adult saying to some big criminal "do u know who my daddy is, if u dont leave now--" criminal kills kid in some way. a popular trope for entitled @$$hats to get hospitalized or killed by the mc or a bigger worse antagonist. what i consider bravery, no fear and hence no awareness that comes with fear and so u make a stupid mistake. courage is when overcome fear and ur awareness even gets heightened more than if u were panicking.
A girl was cleaning a roller to form metal and it started and crushed her hand...she had her pinky and thumb i think..
So I did this wasn't fired for it but I was working at Arby's and managed somehow to pay a customers order twice so I had them pay for it and the car behind them payed the same price or something like that manager said I've been working here 20 years never seen someone screw up like that before
That groundskeeper who put weedkiller on the field instead of fertilizer
I got tired if weeding my parents' gigantic yard one day, so I threw some weed killer down...on top of the grass seeds that were recently planted unbeknownst to me. LUCKILY, that grass grew in like a carpet, but man did I get my ass handed to me for that one 😅🤣
I wonder if there were any liver issues with that hepatitis outbreak.
That's what I was thinking. Pretty sure it affects the liver and causes jaundice. Also something to do with sharing needles.

Why isnt it illegal for them to refuse to close the account out? I get a feeling it is even in the usa!

my wife has got Reynolds syndrome it's not that bad but she don't have to go in the deep freezer, your fingers get really cold and all the blood leaves your hands and toes and the freeze a lot quicker than normal
It is most likely case by case, not every single person is the same... But also, it's extremely easy for someone to get frostbite in a deep freezer, Reynaulds or no.
Most of these just sound like accidents and bosses More worried about money than Their employees
~22:22+..... HER GF showed up and kicked his butt.
