Anybody here work a job with these feels?
Kind of since I hauled nitro glycerin for 3 years.
Dear lord why?
$$$
I work in construction. I use high power, often fast rotating tools, saws, drills, grinders etc.
I have long hair. properly restrained, of course, because I'm not a moron.
I thank God every day I get home without and amputation or scalping.
I enjoy my trade work. I get paid incredibly well, I'm good at it, and I take it seriously. as such, I'm acutely aware of the dangers involved.
I had a lot more respect for all rotating tools after I had a Dremel ride straight up my hair in high school and take about an inch diameter patch of hair and surface skin. Lucky it happened with a little detail tool instead of a drill press or something.
I worked around pool chemicals in large quantities, in an old pre-WWII era building that's already leaning over and rotting out, and had no proper ventilation. I was always grateful there was never a fire.
I'm thankful everyday that I didn't get shot, stabbed, run over by a car/truck, or shot in the back when I'm at a stop sign. Law enforcement sucks, but at least the pay is kinda nice.
Side mirror from drunk driver clipped me on the back of my duty belt while dealing with another drunk. Left LE that same week when I almost got shot
How many 20 pound dog kills do you have under your belt?
Were you able to at least shoot a snap dog before resigning?
You work around tanks of highly explosive and/or lethal gasses, a couple hundred amps and you're working at night, alone, with no help, you eventually get fatalistically calm about the situation. At least until the vent chamber backfeeds and blows a 15ft column of flame almost to the ceiling.
Laid pipe for 20 years.
Rather be in the ditch than settling on a ho
Almost buried numerous times. Once while in a 20ft. trench it started coming in. Luckily I was able to dive into the pipe. Lost two good friends that day. Once kin a 6 ft. trench it came in on me, luckily the ho operator put the bucket over me. Inwas pinned and bruised but lived. Ok that my story.
Yep. I used to do ditch work. Some weeks we'd lose half the crew to caveins. Nobody cared because you could hire new men right away. It's hard to explain, but it was considered normal. The worst ones seemed to be when you lost a guy in the muck and didn't realize it until payday and a check didn't get claimed.
What 3rd world country is that?
probably shitposterland
australia is not 3rd world.
Gee someone is too stupid to realize that sewer, water, gas lines have to be installed
IN THE GROUND in the US
No totally! I just really hope one day they develop some government agency that oversees workplace safety and technology to place shoring in trenches. Currently the prospects of survival for anyone in the US that works a foot or more below ground level are worse than a ww2 bomber crew. It’s really very sad.
i work in fabs...i used to worry about the acid pipes everywhere but now im more worried about all the flying i have to do
I'm going to get cancer and that's ok
>t. lab wagie
>I'm going to get cancer and that's ok
nobody say that except tobacco user
The voice I heard this in in my head was a stereotypical Asian like the old man who owned the shop in Gremlins.
Oil refineries, power stations, other shit with massive boilers.
But no I didn't have that feel, if I got exploded that would mean I wouldn't have to go back the next day.
absolutely. I'm a barista myself
Used to run azide reactions, would charge about a hundred kilograms of shock explosives into a tank full of flammable solvents at a time.
It didn't pay that well
Not quite, but lately I need to take a hovercraft across ice twice per day and the ice is thin AF and breaks constantly, it's pretty scary.
