Alpo Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 16 minutes ago, Pat Riot said: How fast would you fire him? Back in 80 I worked for a construction company. We built pre-stressed concrete water tanks. Company down in Hallandale was using several of our tanks making methane out of garbage. And someone was up on top of one of the tanks with an acetylene torch, and blew the roof off. So we were called in to reroof it. The first day on the job, we are all standing next to the tool trailer which is on the other side of the road from the methane factory. And it is explained to us that if anyone needed to smoke, they were to come down off of the tank and come over to the tool trailer. If anyone was caught smoking on the factory side of the road - no matter how long they had been working for the company - they would be fired on the spot. So we are all inside the tank with the hole in the roof. And for some reason there's a oxy acetylene rig in there. This guy that works for the methane company climbed in the tank and walked up to one of us, stuck a cigarette in his mouth and asked for a light. We told him that was not happening. And he grinned, and then he fired up that acetylene torch, and lit his cigarette. And he stayed in there, probably hiding from his boss, for about 15 minutes. Smoking all the time. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he grinned, and then he fired up that acetylene torch, and lit his cigarette. And he stayed in there, probably hiding from his boss, for about 15 minutes. Smoking all the time. This reminded me of an incident. We had to run electric to a new sign at a daycare at a location that was previously a residence that had a large yard. We called the utility locating service and they marked all of the underground utilities...or so we thought. On the day of the dig, I rented a ride on Ditch Witch digger. When I went to haul it to the jobsite, they started it up to make sure it ran. When they turned it off, it backfired loudly and did this every time it was turned off. I took it to the jobsite and my guys started digging the ditch and I left to go back to the office. I hadn't even got back to the office when I got a call on the radio (pre-cell phone days) that they had struck a utility gas pipe that hadn't been marked and were afraid to shut off the machine due to the backfire but had stopped the blades and raised the boom to get it out of the ditch. I relayed this to the office, although they could plainly hear it on the base radio and told them to call the City of Clearwater gas department. I then turned around and returned to the jobsite. By now, the entire area around the jobsite smells like gas and the fire department is on scene. I had just gotten back to the jobsite when a City of Clearwater Utilities truck pulled up with two guys in it and parks near the ditch. The driver gets out with a lit cigarette, proceeds to walk over to the ditch, turns off the Ditch Witch (BANG goes the backfire) and then throws his still lit cigarette into the ditch. None of us had the time to react to this idiot's actions although I wanted to punch him in the face. Moron City of Clearwater boy told us that the gas had nowhere to build up and was therefore dissipated by the air and we were in no danger. I told him that he was a ****ing idiot and pulled our crew out to get an early long lunch. When they returned, the pipe had been repaired, the rest of the line marked and the City of Clearwater guys were gone. We had no further problems. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a similar incident during the construction of one of LA’s light rail lines back in 2002. A ruptured gas line and workers smoking and grinding / cutting metal at the scene. I ordered my personnel out of the area over the radio. Our Construction Mgmt team wanted me scolded for making my announcement over the radio where anyone monitoring our radios knew there might be an incident. My response to this email and the huge chain of addressees was “So, now I guess that if I said ‘And now we have the incompetent protecting the moronic’ that would be something else that would hurt dare whittle feewings?” My phone rang 10 seconds later and my boss was laughing so hard he couldn’t talk. He then asked me to quit antagonizing the idiots. As in all things “Los Angeles MTA” the whole thing was swept under the rug. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 One more for the morons. We had a mechanic make a house call. Pop the hood. Remove the air cleaner. Lean over to look in the carburetor, and as he worked the feed with his thumb, the hot ash fell off his cigarette. POOOFFF!!!! The fireball - and it was just poof and gone - burned all the hair off his face. Eyebrows. Eyelashes. Nose hair. And then we had a fellow SASS member. I asked him what happened to his arm. It was bandaged from half of his hand all the way up to his elbow. He was smoking a cigar while he was loading his muzzleloader. I guess he was lucky he only burned his arm and not his face. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
