My job itself isn't dangerous its the new batch of temps we have. 1/2 of 'em have the tear drop tattoo, one guy has three of 'em...he gets to do what he wants

I can't stand teamsters...well 90% of the ones I have to work with. They'll cuss you out to your face but if you say anything to them they'll go back to the union and complain your being disrespectful. When there not whining about things, there bitching that they have to work and they gossip more than 12yr old girls.

i sometimes work at an autowrecking yard..
we use forklifts instead of car lifts or jacks to pick cars up and work under them too.. the sign on the forklift tells us not to do it, but ehh... i also walk through aisles with cars stacked on top of each other.. they wont fall unless u really tug on em.. so far havnt been seriously hurt.. just cuts and bruises. from sharp edges...

I thought that fishing in the Bearing Sea was the most dangerous job on earth? Or at least thats what I've heard several times.

And yeah, those categories suck, I cut, burn, and smash the ---- out of my hands everyday at work, and I'm just a mechanic.

I'm currently a warehouse grunt for Amazon.com. The management is nuts about preaching saftey. We're not even allowed to lift boxes higher than shoulder level while loading trucks. It's kind of funny, the place pretty much runs it self so I guess it gives management something to bitch about.

I went to school for massage therapy. I really need to make a move into that field, only problem is people don't like being touched with greasy fingernails. I guess I may have to give up my wrenching addiction, if I'm after the potential danger of having to rub down whales and homos.

I repair commercial kitchen equipment and do refrigeration. I deal with 480 volt 3 phase power, Steam, water, gas, and tons of fire breathing items. I am very safe and careful. I don't ever get hurt besides the time I drilled a hole through my thumb!

My dad is #2 on the list, not like I didn't already know that.

I am a mix between #3 and #9. Warehouse and Manufacturing, tho the type of manufacturing we do is a little more crazy than building electronics and ----. But the stuff we do is more injury prone than death prone.
