Ok I think I have an equivalent story
There is some metal content here so just bear with me I am prone to
rambling
One of my First jobs was in a small sign shop in Michigan. We made
mostly traffic signals and some neon
We had been working on these these multicolor sign faces for an Ice
cream shop that had moved into an abandoned gas station.Nice folks
anxious to get their sign up finally .
So we truck the thing a few blocks to the Ice Cream shop and get set up
to hang it up on the pole
They're excited and so am I and I wanna get the project over with
So as my superior is consulting with the shop man i proceed to untie the
the new doubluble sided sign from the bed
of the boom truck, Lets just say gravity was not my friend that that
day
This brand new sign came crashing off the truck and shattered into alot
of pieces. I think my life and maybe some other lives flashed before me
in slow motion.
I knew I was was screwed and was prepared to quit.
We picked it all up and went back to the shop.
I told my big boss that it was all my fault and he should fire me right
then and there. Well he had been there before and tried to calm me down
with a story of his own mistakes
Sees one day they got a delivery of aluminum sheets. They were suspended
on an overhead trolly crane.
He was a good rigger and a master welder but on this day he may have
been distracted and didn't notice that his fathers new Cadilac was
parked a little too close to this hanging bundle of aluminum
Gravity takes over as it always does and the metal crushes the car.
Father : not happy
Son : scared
Other people: laughing their asses off, which probabaly didn't help
He kept me on for a few more months
we repaired the ice cream sign and the man was pleased but he went out
of business a few months later Nobody wants to buy softserve in the
middle of winter
