You really don't expect for them to put that on the label do you? Then next they would have to put in on regular drill bits...

My oldest son somehow managed to discharge a cap with the tip of his nose. I had a bunch of truck stock sitting on the dining room table a couple years ago that I just got done checking to make sure they were all good. I have no idea how his nose ended up across the terminals, but he was pretty mad.

Reminds me of my clothes dryer's instructions, conveniently printed on the inside of the door:

"1. Insert clothing, close door."

YOU sir have got to be kidding me. It a joke right?
I really dont want to sound mean but that is a real bone head move. I would never do that in a million years. Do we really need warning labels for everything? Isnt there just one ounce of common sense in your head? I personally dont like wearing gloves either, but sometimes the proper ppe is not an option its nessacary.
They should make one of those little statues of what not to do in life.
If you are really serious about needing warning lables about hot metal shavings maybe you should think about some other type of less dangerous occupation like accounting or (wait thats no good carpoltunnel syndrom) well maybe a librarian. lol wow if your story is for real that some funny stuff.

Yes, the indecent indeed happened. The part about the labels was added just as a way to wrap up the story. For those that aren't real quick, I was not serious about my suggestion for a change in labeling.

I was hoping to illicit some chuckles at my expense which for a few of you turned out the way I hoped. As far as common sense, I would hope that the suggestion extends to being able to sort as well.

As for being a bone head move, as you put it, you are correct. I know of no one in my trade that hasn't done something like that at one time or another and relating the story after the fact with an appropriate amount of wit is usually funny and sometimes hilarious.

My mission was to get a few yuks from the peanut gallery. Those that didn't probably missed the point and I apologize for upsetting you. Trust me, I won't duplicate the accident any time soon. If you ever see me working with a piece of duct tape over my nose you may correctly assume I am attempting to bore a hole in the bottom of a panel with my nostrils in an inverted position. Kind of like Sarah Palin when she laughs.

First thing.I found your story very humorous.
Second thing. I found it so funny that I spilled my coffee
while laughing. So the way I see it you own me 1.75
to replace my coffee due to the content of YOUR post making
me laugh. Which resulted in the spilling of said coffee.

Do you have PayPal?:grin:

Nothing like getting what you hope for.....:D

Although not electrical, Ive got another nose story....

Another Electrician aquaintence of mine, was using a battery nose hair trimmer....(Im already laughing :D) anyway, guess he was over due for a trim, and went a little deep with his cut, all at the same time his batteries quickly failed and bound up, resulting in a tight wad and this device hanging out of his nose, and the screaming was on...........

The only option was a hard jerk, and band-aids.....


Now that's funny, I dont care who you are....:D wiping tears !!!

I would have left it in place and taken it back to the retailer during their busiest time of the day.

Thanks for the Christmas gift idea for the in-laws!!

(Yes, *that* was funny!)

I went to the mall today [ I didn't want to ]....anyway, as I am wandering about I see this store that sells socks and stuff. In the window is a rather large sign:

BIG UNDERWEAR SALE
​

Is it a big SALE or is the big UNDERWEAR on sale?
:D
