Huge fail by not just replying "Hell Yeah." It's not a catch all to use in every social situations, but it works a lot of the time.

Roundup Ready posted:Just reminded me of a live show I worked on with one of the biggest CEOs in the world. Broadcast live to hundred of thousands of people. Was in a big, pretty atrium that happened to also have a kitchenette kinda area just out of frame. I literally put black and yellow caution tape over the microwave door, and while he was live, some jackass peeled the tape off and heated up his lunch. Pretty sure we had taped the whole area off as well. Sorry, but while I can see why this would be a problem in your line of work, microwave man may in fact rule.

I think I've told this story in a previous schad thread, but to contribute to caution-tape-trespassing-chat: One of my entry-level poo poo jobs was working graveyard in a fast food place that was attached to a 24 hour convenience store/gas station. The owner had us shut down to paint everything one night, but the gas station was still open and there was no door between the two, so they piled chairs and strung caution tape through them to bind them together to create a probably hazardous barricade, and taped a big "CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS. OPEN AT 6AM" sign on it and the drive through. All the main seating area lights were off and all the chairs were blocking the entry. Some guy comes over, breaks the caution tape, slides the chair barricade just enough to step through, walks up to the counter through the darkened seating area, and looks at us as we're all wearing overalls and standing on ladders while holding buckets of paint and paint rollers. "Are you open?"

A good chunk of the population are completely illiterate. These same people also have no spatial awareness. Just bumbling around in a haze for 75 or so years. These people somehow have jobs, drive cars, and even wear hats.

Being a moron and not wearing a helmet when you are 10 feet in the air with only the express route to the ground open helps those odds tremendously.

Touch of schad on the drive home: had a fast-moving snowstorm come in. Weather service knew and a good close approximate time to when it would be hitting. Just in time for the evening commute, of course. Going home people were doing about 25-30 on the freeway which was fine, traffic was at least moving smoothly and safely. All of a sudden a highway patrolman comes up in the far left lane with lights and sirens going. About a half mile up the road was another HP vehicle and a big jacked up truck slid well off the road and halfway down the embankment. It's almost invariably 4x4's you see either smashed into the divider or in a ditch when bad weather hits because the concept of "being able to go does not equate to being able to stop" is completely foreign to them. Also rereading this I realize that it sort of sets up the cop for having an accident and so I apologize for not being able to provide that particular schad.

Roundup Ready posted:Re: the people who work at the spot I was talking about earlier. Did you not cordon off the area for the shoot, with if not security then at least some locations people to shoo people away? I've worked on film sets a small bit and I know how important it is to get the shot, yet I'm still on the side of the guy who saw his workplace kitchenette hazard'd off and decided you all weren't important enough to disrupt his lunch. ------ Edit for schaden content: Had a commercial with a dog in it, the dog handler had no other animals under her supervision. Over the radio we hear a "Uh, does anyone have eyes on the handler?" and sure enough the little mutt is eating the loving hero cake. They apparently got a good shot of him chowing down and the Agency (client) people loved it so it's all ok, but during all of this I hear my boss ask for her boss to switch to channel 2 and I eavesdrop: "Only one job" (In reference to the handler). Ill-trained mutt, lazy rear end owner who sells it to films as a trained animal (it is not), drat dog walks off of set every time it gets a whiff of new food arriving for the crew. I mean good for him the gluttonous little dope, he doesn't know any better. Serephina has a new favorite as of 03:38 on Jan 11, 2024 |

Serephina posted:Did you not cordon off the area for the shoot, with if not security then at least some locations people to shoo people away? Most of what I do is corporate video on site. When we're in the actual studios it's never an issue, but in a building with a bunch of people "working" there's only so much you can do. We'll set PAs to try to keep an eye on things, but in bigger spots there's a ton of areas to keep an eye on. Even had higher ups tell us we can't do pipe and drape in certain areas, not even rope it off. Annoying, but not really my problem. Edit for bold. There's like half dozen of these in the same building, and it's the CEO of your company talking with a few hundred in the audience. Walk the extra hundred feet to another one.

It's a very good ladder, in a situation where she was surrounded by shelves of alcohol in all sides, it failed in the only possible way that didn't knock over a single bottle.

What's the weight rating on that ladder? 20kg? Looked way too frail for any adult to be using, let alone a large one.
