Also 3 more animals uselessly freaking out and just making things worse

Nice crab mentality there. Why not push for more breaks for everyone, then no one gets special treatment and you all get more breaks. Working a 12 hour shift with only one 20 minute break is some Victorian era bullshit.

^^^ Yeah aren't there federal mandates for that kind of thing? Assuming you're in the USA. Actually smoker vs non-smoker is a big deal some places. My office is in a business center with a common area and a walkway around an artificial lake. People take breaks and walk around the water when the weather's nice. Recently the property manager started to crack down on people smoking by the entrances and put up a bunch of No Smoking signs, then put up Smoking Permitted signs around the lake path to try and push all the smokers away from the building. Of course this pissed off the people who liked to walk that way to get away from them and for ruining their fresh air, so after the first weekend I saw several of the new 'hey guys smoke over here' signs at the bottom of the lake

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how many people simply can't hold onto a bucket, or didn't even bother to test out there cool trick ahead of smashing a garbage can on top of their head. Bunch of pages late but during the height of the ice bucket challenge poo poo, three mining workers were fired for using two cranes to do one. The guy filming was cautioned, the guy under the cranes was fired and the guys operating the cranes were fired and industry blacklisted for doing something so loving stupid. edit: that new Failarmy video, at about 3:40, once again reminds me of the fact that if everyone had a video camera in their pocket when I was doing shop class in high school, not only would all of the loving idiotic things we did be recorded for the ages, but we would probably have done even more loving idiotic things playing up for the cameras.

Also with the ice bucket challenge thing, most people don't really realize how loving heavy water is. You fill a large cooler with water you're going to have a hard time upending it without dropping it everywhere, because that water is heavy and it's loving moving around too. There's a reason why this sort of thing was a legit strength building tool: https://www.t-nation.com/training/sloshing-pillar-of-pain

Yeah seriously, & even disregarding the water weight, a hydraulic engine slamming like half a ton weight into your skull is probs not a good idea. You'd think it'd be part of the education to drive machines like that.

For example, despite the difficulty of calculating "presenteeism" (lower on-the-job productivity), studies have consistently demonstrated that employees who smoke are less productive than employees who do not. For example, one recent study reviewed more than 45,000 employee surveys from 147 U.S. employers. It found that mean hours of lost productivity per year due to presenteeism were 76.5 hours for a smoker compared to 42.8 hours for a never smoker and 56.0 hours for a former smoker. The excess presenteeism of 33.7 hours per year (for a smoker compared to a never smoker) equals approximately 2% of hours worked per year. In addition, employers who allow smoking in or around their facilities or vehicles experience extra housekeeping, maintenance, ventilation, and fire insurance costs, [1656] as well as potential legal liability for secondhand-smoke exposure to non-smoking employees. Beyond these costs are increased risks of occupational disease compensation for those employees who may already have exposure to other health risks such as asbestos, irritant gasses, or inhaled particulates. Smoking employees are also more likely to suffer work-related disability and on-the-job accidents, injuries, and fatalities. There also may be intangible costs associated with a smoker's personal presentation to customers or the public, especially in health-related industries. The only potentially offsetting savings associated with smoking employees is diminished use of pension benefits in defined-benefits plans due to premature death. This "death benefit," however, is only relevant for employers who use defined-benefit pension plans - currently fewer than one in four private employers. It does not impact the larger number of employers who use defined contribution plans such as 401(k)s. Even for employers with defined-benefits plans, however, the amount of the "death benefit" is clearly dwarfed by the aggregate of other costs incurred. [1657] Given these healthcare and productivity costs, the smoking employee brings a substantial financial burden with him to work, even if he does not smoke while he is there. The extra cost of a smoking employee obviously varies considerably across industries, occupations, and benefit packages. Our review of previously published studies, however, suggests that, on average, private employers incur excess costs exceeding $ 4000 per year for each employee who smokes (in comparison to a non-smoking employee).
