  • That’s way too mich effort spent on those morons. If they don’t have the money then I tell them leave and go back to what I was doing before. I am not about to spend any amount time entertaining someone who is trying to rip me off. I don’t even care if they somehow “find” the rest of the money. I’m done dealing with them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.


  • I remember one time I was at a large industrial site working on a cabinet cooler (dedicated air conditioning for large electrical cabinets) on a motor drive cabinet which was was running 480V 3 phase with feeder wires the size of my thumb when their safety guy walked by and saw me poking at the cooler fan with a screwdriver. The conversation went something like this.

    Safety guy looking rather concerned: “What are you doing?”

    Me: “Cabinet is getting warm because the cooler quit. The fan motor isn’t running so I’m trying to give it a bump start with a screwdriver to see if the motor is siezed. Gotta do it this way because otherwise I have to pull the whole cooler off the cabinet to access it properly.”

    Safety: “You know those wires there are 480V right?”

    Me: “Yup.”

    Safety: “You know those will kill you if you touch them right?”

    Me: “That’s why I’m not touching them.”
