It’s really hard to believe that there are people out there who don’t care about anything at all. Not about their safety, the safety of other people, or even about simple common sense .
Maybe the people in this list care a little, but laziness won in the end . Or maybe they lost their last care to give. Either way, don’t try these things at home!
“My Buddy sent me this, inside a Walmart warehouse.”
Too close to the sprinklers, nowhere for a forklift to go, not fully supported — this is a disaster waiting to happen, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near there when it does. Whoever did this needs to read a training manual.
“Something tells me y’all might appreciate the acid watering can at my work.”
I may not be an expert in chemistry or anything, but something’s telling me you probably shouldn’t store acid in a watering can. Then again, what do I know?
“Labor foreman didn’t feel like moving the lift so this is how he wants us to unload.”
Something tells me that this foreman isn’t going to be a foreman for much longer, because this is just plain dangerous and dumb.
What’s better than a ladder? Not two ladders, that’s for sure.
I’m not sure who has it worse between those two workers. Either way, that’s going to be a lot of injury report paperwork if that all comes tumbling down.
“Draining the fuel tank.”
Yeah, absolutely not. No way I’d even want to get within 10 feet of that thing. I like not being crushed by trucks, thank you very much.
Okay but seriously, who thinks this is a good idea?
“Closed at all times no exceptions!”
I guess this was the exception. This was probably done by someone who either never reads signs, or read them and didn’t care. I really hope the person who took this picture… closed the door after.
“If only there was another way to get up there…”
I almost feel like actually operating the lift would be a lot easier than trying to climb up on the rail. It would absolutely be a lot safer, that’s for sure.
“I don’t think this is a proper use of a forklift.”
I wonder what’s worse, this, or that picture of the person standing on top of the two ladders. I think this, just because a lot more effort went into it. Like, you really have to try to do something this dumb.
RELATED STORIES
“Nothing like some good high voltage temp generator lines to trip over during a fire…”
It’s amazing how people do things like this and still manage to live for a long time. Like, what’s the secret? How are they cheating death?
“My city decided to spend this morning digging an eleven foot deep hole in my yard.”
Don’t you just love it when your town digs a random, giant hole in your yard? On the bright side, it’s like getting a free cellar or swimming pool or something!
This seems like a solid plan.
What makes this worse is the fact that they’re so high up. Is it really so hard to make sure workers have safe equipment, and don’t have to resort to dangerous stuff like this?
“Nashville idiots getting on the highway…”
The man on top is bad enough, but there’s also a missing taillight. It’s like these people are doing everything they can to be as dangerous as possible. Is being safe, like, uncool or something?
“Saw these movers on the street. Not sure what step 2 was going to be.”
It wouldn’t take much for the guy on top to drop that thing… and I really wouldn’t want to know what happens next. I hope for their sake they got it up there, and that they never do anything like that again.
“New boss fight?”
This might be the most unsafe thing I’ve ever seen. Like, I don’t even want to know what would happen if that guy tripped, or moved his arm just a little too far to his left or something. Utterly terrifying.
“The ol’ safety squints for eye protection!”
You know, this guy would probably get a lot more done if he wasn’t squinting his eyes. And he wouldn’t be squinting his eyes if he just had some eye protection. Just a suggestion.
“A guy just came to fix the aircon (13th floor in Suzhou, China).”
You don’t even need to have a fear of heights to be freaked out by something like this. It’s amazing how people will just… do stuff like this and straight up not care.
“An excavator as a carousel ride.”
Not to spoil anyone’s fun, but that’s super unsafe. Like, this is how bones get broken, and how you end up with a concussion, or something a lot worse. But hey, it’s exciting!
No but seriously, don’t do this.
“Just a man on a stack of pallets raised by a forklift changing the bulb on a street light.”
This feels like the final boss of people standing on pallets that are on forklifts. I’m hoping it didn’t happen to be windy that day or anything.
“Check this out, new saw boss just dropped off.”
So much for it being a “new” saw, considering it doesn’t even have a guard. No way should anyone use that thing, unless they’re trying to lose all their fingers or something.
“Captain ladder has arrived.”
What’s better than a ladder on top of a second ladder? A ladder on top of two other ladders, of course! And by better, I obviously mean much, much worse. But I guess some people just don’t care about being safe or anything.
