Lurid Work Stories
"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

Yup
I remember something like that.
We had ZERO H&S gear on that site, though. It was a disgrace. I got fired for complaining about it - and I was too dumb back then to kick up a fuss with tribunals and all that.
(I asked for a pump for the concentrated sulfuric acid, cause trying to tip up a 50l drum to pour it out into a jug was a bit dangerous.)
