any drat fool can drive a forklift. it takes mad skillz to operate a forklift

The only time I've been "certified" or "licensed" on a forklift was in the military, but that never stopped anyone from saying "you, use that forklift" and I'd be doing it anyhow. Two home depots, two warehouses. All say "we want you to take the certification course before using equipment......... Here's the keys."

But it's fun watching them do that with even more incompetent people and pallets come raining down the aisles.

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
A while back I was watching one of those Tow truck driver reality shows.

After seeing all the smart rear end comments in here about Forklift drivers, I'd probably watch a Forklift driver show.

Fat, shaved head-tattoo guy with goatee and wrap around sunglasses: "That guy thought he could handle it, but I'm actually CERTIFIED to run a forklift. When the going gets tough, the REAL MEN have to step up to the plate for a 'lift' like this one.

guy who couldn't handle a 'complicated lift': Yeah, I only got this job a few weeks ago, I'm glad that (fat shaved head tattoo guy with goatee and wrap around sunglasses) was able to take over for me, and move the piece without any trouble, he really saved the day"

Narrator: It was a close call, but ultimately, that pallet full of christmas themed feather pillows made it off the dock and up on to the high shelf where it awaits next years christmas shopping season

Fat, shaved head-tattoo guy with goatee and wrap around sunglasses: "yeah, he's a good kid, but I've been in the fork biz for almost TWO YEARS now, so I've seen a lot of action. I'm a battle hardened forklift veteran" (eyes light up for a new shirt proclaiming his veteran fork-man status)

I had a PPE dream last night. I was at some extremely sketch factory getting a tour and I asked for goggle and a hard hat and the guide was like, "Uh... sure."

I don't know what that means in the language of dreams.

Last night I dreamed I was in a store and I turned around to see a maskless lady approaching to give me a hug. This was highly distressing. A lady? A hug? (and no mask!)

What this means is we're both gonna die.

Put that fat rear end in a top hat on an order picker and let him move poo poo while 25 feet up. Ego like that, seems like the type to not wear a harness or safety strap.

Of especial note in the thread are the infinity rooms, so called because the radiological detection equipment pegged out at max and the rooms were just sealed off. The cleanup process for those were :stonk:

Or the fact that it took over a decade after cleanup of the facility began to get the likelihood of a criticality accident down to “improbable”

So what's the rule that was broken to allow this to happen in the first place? I've never worked in food service, but I assume there's some common practices to help avoid this scenario.

always, always, always loudly say "behind you!" or "behind!" when you are behind someone. likewise, if you're carrying something and approaching a blind corner, you shout "corner!"

I used to think that part of the game Infra was over the top but after reading this I realise they actually undersold it.

Edit: by happy coincidence, Infra is 75% off. If you enjoy this thread you should probably give it a go, it casts you as an engineer inspecting (and trying to survive) unmaintained infrastructure in Totally Not Finland.

I thought I was in the Everest thread for a second, they came in there and shitted it up when it got restarted with the exact same reason (making GBS threads on rich people paying tens of thousands of dollars and getting themselves killed is morally indefensible apparently). I think someone is very apprehensive about being the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

okay but that military forklift cert is the type I'm trying to get in Jan, if I start wearing certified forklifter shirts with only a military (well . . . air national guard) cert is that the same thing as stolen forklift valor?

No idea and if you want to steal forklift valor, I don't care. It's not like I guard the sacred tomb of the unknown forklifter. Steal that forklift valor.

My section sergeant just went into the ULLS box and added all the wheeled vehicle types in the battalion to my license. If I had to drive it 5 feet to fix it, I was licensed on it.

I drove a fork lift once. I was smart enough to figure out how to lift a steel frame and move it about 30 feet, then move it back later on, and also make sure to turn off the propane when I was done.
Am I a fork fuckler? Am I stealing forkvalour by saying "I can operate a forklift"?

I technically DID operate it twice, and not gently caress anything up.
