Been doing it for twenty now, came real real close a couple times, but thankfully haven't actually lost anything yet.

However, just this year I've left my handcart behind 3 different times and have had to circle back to a stop to grab it. What a fun new trick for my brain to come up with :argh:

I did this once, to a stop that's 45 minutes away in the middle of nowhere Kentucky.





Boss bought a new truck for cheap, someone can-opened it. Cab looks decent but I don't know who he's hired to replace the box; only recently finally fired the mechanic that was going to get us all killed.

OSHA reports from the week:

When I worked at Walgreens, the excess toilet paper and paper towels (and Christmas toys around that time) were stored in the top of a similar thing, except this is above the rollers that were used to unload trucks. This means there was no front section to the shelving, it was all connected at the back and the shelves just hung out into space.

If you wanted to stock that stuff, you had to get a ladder and move around on top of the shelving, almost touching the ceiling, throwing stuff to the ground. It wobbled a lot.

Tell that to my wet basement.

Walmart I used to deliver to, the concrete walls in the warehouse would leak every time it rained. It's a newer store, the one in town built a few years before that turned out to be right on top of a sinkhole.

Come to think of it, I haven't ever been in a Walmart that doesn't leak from the ceiling.

My Drivers Ed teacher in high school used to teach classes not to hold the steering wheel with your thumbs inside the wheel. He told us that he grew up on a farm, and was always taught not to do this because if the front wheel of a tractor got stuck in a hole or ditch, it would whip the wheel around, and if your thumbs were inside the wheel, it could break your thumb/wrist/arm.

He worked for a summer in college for the Department of Transportation mowing along interstates. One day his partner (who had never heard of the thumb thing) hit a drainage culvert with the front wheel of his tractor, causing the steering wheel to very rapidly spin a 180, dragging his thumb with it and snapping both bones in his forearm.

One of the Religion teachers at my Catholic high school had both her wrists broken by her airbag in an accident, somehow. For years she was referred to as The Penguin because of the way the cast held her wrists and fingers.

She wasn't a nun either. The only nun we had while I was there started teaching math when I was a sophomore. I was taking a nap in remedial Algebra and woke up to her crying as she addressed the class because someone had drawn a dick on the board. I went back to sleep and she quit two years later.

Thalassophobia is definitely a real word and a real, studied phobia. Though it's defined as a fear of the sea or other large bodies of water and is generally triggered by the water itself, rather than specific things in the water.

It can get pretty severe. If I can't see inside the water, even if there are clear boundaries where a drop is, I'm terrified and want out. This even applies in video games. The oceans in World of Warcraft where they are a sheer drop into nothingness taught me that. I was able to control it for Subnautica but still occasionally start to panic and have to calm myself. Even just thinking about that kind of water makes me shudder internally.

Phobias are hosed up.

Modern cars, especially those with transverse engines and transaxels, are an absolute pain in the rear end to work on. No room at all under the hood

When I worked at a Farm and Home store fifteen years ago as a manager, I would sometimes have to fix tire punctures or replace batteries when the auto guy was on lunch. Some sweet old lady brought in her car for a new battery.

The loving thing was under the back seat and required some obscure knowledge to even get it open. She had to wait for the actual auto guy.

Edit: I don't remember what kind of car it was but the battery was similar to this:

These are chips. I had to get some pretzels that are stored underneath. The picture is a few weeks old, the skid is still there.



Current work truck. You'll notice that while the lights are on, the dashboard does not have lights. Hard to see how fast I'm going when it's dark out.



Technically, we have a warehouse manager. He's just always busy covering routes because the bread vendors keep getting COVID or quitting.



Same spot as the above skid. Most of the Snyder's stuff, when it's been put away, is on this wall. When the warehouse manager is busy, other trucks are unloaded here. If you need Snyder's and you can't squeeze in between, too bad.

We used to have a 78 year old guy who managed the warehouse. He had a stroke on the job and came back three months later. He couldn't turn to look behind him so when driving the forklift he would just go backwards until he hit something then go on his merry way. He also would make truck drivers wait longer before he would unload them if they weren't white.

My boss has pictures of Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan in his office, if you want an idea of the work culture.

Edit: I'll have to find the video of my front left tire smoking and on fire where the axle connects to the rim. We used to have a mechanic that did the bare minimum. The owner's son had to pull into a parking lot and do circles once because his brakes went out. Guy only got fired after six years of that kind of stuff because he began hitting his wife and was arrested for it.

The mail people always seemed so happy when I came to pickup the buzzing cardboard boxes.

Years ago I worked at a farm and home store. Every year we sold baby chicks, and I always wondered how they got delivered. One year I made it to management, and was tasked with picking them up.

From the post office. Eight boxes of living baby chicks in the back of my car, chirping away. The post office was very relieved.

Some OwnSHA from work today. Admiral Joeslop will appreciate this. Look at the pictures and it will become immediately obvious what I do.

Hell of a workout though.

:negative:

One of my stops has an old fashioned ramp in the back. My truck is not tall enough to back up into the docks.



This is how it looked last February. If it happens again I'm just walking the product in the front door and they can gently caress off if they don't like that.

This store is part of Houchens, who own a lot of different grocery stores around here and they're all ran like garbage. Half of them require you to open every single box so the receiver can verify everything, half of them just roll their eyes if you ask to get checked in and just take the ticket from you.

None of them enforced masks at all last year. Not that any of my stores did. Still better than actually working in a store, ten years of that was enough for me.



We don't have this truck anymore, I guess.







I can't find the video of this rim actually on fire but it was.



It's not always bad out there.

If I could have a minor super power it would be forcing people to drive straight ahead when they aren't using a turn signal. Oh it's a T shaped single lane road and the only thing in front of you is a cliff? Better use your signal!

Also people that turn their signal on a mile before they turn. Someone almost hit me because I turned left while they were approaching with their right turn signal on. Then they throw their hands up at me like I'm the rear end in a top hat.

This is something else. Like it's the most ancillary content creation possible yet I can tell it pays these guys enough so it's all they do.

Seth Rogen likes their channel so much that he called them up to ask if he could come on the show to talk about CGI in his own movies and they're pretty fun.

On the other hand they've worked with chuds before and also lately have been doing some videos about Marvel movies that are basically sponsored ads and that's getting a little annoying. Gushing about good CGI is fine but lots of people also like when they explain how or why bad CGI is bad, and how they would fix it.

Penn and Teller shot each other every night and were fine. :colbert:

I don't know how the trick is done, but Penn has said that there is never a loaded gun at any point.

Penn has said that he doesn't believe in doing magic that makes the audience complicit or witness to an actual danger. I think the worst he's probably done was juggling real broken bottles, and he made sure to make it clear to the audience that they were real. He's a Libertarian but he does a lot of good things otherwise.
