Ok, two more spill/near miss stories. These are all funny but not funny.
I volunteered one holiday to pick up BBQ for a luncheoon we were having at work. I had a Mazda ruck at the time. I figured, beautiful December day, I'll be out of the lab for hr and a half. Free pass right? Well I put the aluminum pan on the passenger floor. I was smelling the sauce and boy I was getting hungrier by the mile. When I got to my destination, The pan had a small punture in it. BBQ sauce was everywhere
I was hungry for weeks.
The other story was when I was driving the company bobtail. I had to pick up a cylinder of nitrogen for photolab. We had a method of laying the cylinder down and propping a two truck/dolly against the wall to secure it. It worked for years, why change? Well driving down the road, an idiot pulls out and I have to slam the brakes and I can hear the cylinder sliding forward! It comes really fast and stops about an inch away from the gas pedal. I was lucky it didn't pin itself against the pedal or I would have blasted that car.
Was this too long?
