  1. Took my trailer to work yesterday as I was going to pick up a bike after
    work.

    last time, I dumped it in a car parking space at work, and our H&S lady,
    who also oversees car parking, correctly asked me to move it so someone
    could use the space.

    This time I upended it so it was standing on its bumper, leaned it
    against the back wall, and reversed my car up to it, so it took up no
    space at all and was secure behind my Saab.

    She asked me to move it "because it might fall down".

    "It can't. It's shaped like a pyramid and the pointy bit is uppermost."

    "But it could fall on the boss's car!"

    "It can't fall over unless someone goes up to it and pushes it, and then
    it'll only fall on mine."

    "It might fall sideways."

    "It's triangular. A pyramid. It can't."

    "You might hurt yourself lifting it up and taking it down, and if you do
    we're liable...."

    Jesus H fucking Christ on a crutch....

  6. I left the trailer where it was. She asked me next time to park it on
    the grass.

    I ask you....

  7. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember
    (The Older Gentleman) saying
    something like:
    But,but,but, somebody will surely trip over it on the grass, if she's
    typical of the type that's employed there.

    You should try working on a chemical site, we were only recently allowed
    to switch on our mobiles in the offices as they were previously deemed
    an ignition hazard (which is understandably an issue in a manufacturing
    plant area using 1000's of litres of flammable solvents). This of
    course wasn't the same for the PC's on the desktop etc.etc.

    Even outside in the "streets" around the site we aren't supposed to have
    them on even though the nearest solvents are inside the actual plants,
    just in case.

    It does seem daft sometimes, although I suspect it is more to protect
    the company than the employee.
