CieloDiosa 0 #1 November 8, 2004 well i don't think it gets much worse than this first @ my interview for the job (BW3's) all was going well until the manager stood up to shake my hand and i fell backwards off this stage we were sitting on in the middle of the restaurant during the lunch rush... fell flat on my ass and just layed there thinking....you have got to be kidding me. that did not just happen! everyone at the bar just stared at me as i ran to the other side of the restaurant soo embarrassed haha needless to say i got hired! well no more than a week later ( one of my first days on the job) the kitchen got pretty busy so i had to run down to the basement freezer and get them some stock well i walk in and sure enough the freezer door slammed shut behind me!!!! yep locked in the freezer. there was no way to open it, the handle to open the door had been broken off!! so there i am just sittin there on a box of frozen french fries crying like crazy thinking so this is how im going to die i tried screaming "PLEASE DAN HELP!!! IM LOCKED IN THE FREEZER!!!!" (dan=manager) i could barely get the words out i was crying so hard.. and as if anyone could hear me in the basement in a freezer. well minutes (which seem like hours) go by and im just crying and crying thinking theres no way out so i start throwing myself against the door thinking if i can get the door to bounce a little i can catch it and open it somehow (i thought it was the type of door you have to open by pulling towards you from the inside.. ya kno? so you cant get out w/o the handle) well sure enough i go to throw myself against the door really hard it and just swings right open and i fly out and there is everyone laughing @ me while i have mascara smeared all over my face they knew i was in there thinking i was locked in!! the door was a push door! just like a swinging door i was traumatized and shaking like crazy, everyone was just rolling around laughing well its taken me sometime to be able to talk about this but i think im finally over it and i'll be damned if i ever go near that freezer again im almost positive i have no common sense i cant believe i still work there! ~boogie ho!! pull before impact!

weegegirl 2 #5 November 8, 2004 Okay, that IS pretty funny. But that's pretty damned evil that they would laugh at you when you are crying. That would have made me pretty mad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flarelatedad 0 #6 November 8, 2004 PTSD claim through workmans comp? Here's a story for you (to make you feel better)! When I was on a Navy ship in the late '80s we had just finished night flight ops. The safety nets were still down and it was a dark cloudy night. We had a sailor who was told to take the trash out and dump it over the side (sorry Greenpeacers). He left the bright inside of the ship to the dark outside. He walked straight out (or so he thought) to throw the trash. Well he actually went to the side and fell into the saftey net. Apparently he thought he was on the fantail (farthest end of the ship), because he got up and tried walking back to the inside of the ship. Guess what, he then fell into the net on the other side. The whole time this is happening the aft lookout is on the phone to the bridge going "guys you can't believe what I'm seeing". You think the aft lookout would go to help his shipmate out? No way he just sat and laughed. Meanwhile the sailor in the net, gets back on the flightdeck and crawls back to the door (I guess his eyes finally adjusted to the dark). When word got around the ship on what happened, he received NO sympathy, as a matter of fact he was counselled for leaving the grabage bag in the net and causing a possible FOD hazard... BTW - He never left the inside of the ship after sunset when underway the rest of the time he was on the ship... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skiskyrock 0 #7 November 8, 2004 I used to work for a pharma company where we made an antibiotic. One batch netted us about $2 million. Part of the process involved putting one of the ingredients in the top of a tower, closing the hatch, letting it circulate, then opening the bottom hatch and removing it. One day one of the operators forgot to close the bottom hatch before dumping the stuff in the top. The tower was two stories high, so he didn't realize it until he got back to the bottom and saw $2million in contaminated powder all over the floor. Thinking quickly, he starts picking up handfulls and throwing it in a bin. Five second rule, right? Of course he has his back to the windows into the hall, where the plant manager is standing, with a tour group. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
