Lurid Work Stories"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

Not me but my dadUsed to drive tipper wagons. Big ones like these:

One of the trucks had a hydraulic crane mounted behind the cab allowing the driver to load his own truck, i believe they are called HIAB's. this could be an acronym. they look like this:

One day my dad got back to the yard and parked up. On his way to the office he found the operator of the HIAB had somehow managed to pin himself between the bucket and the body of the tipper and crushed himself to death.
As you can imagine, my dad was a wreck for the next few weeks. I was about 10 at the time and I remember it was the 1st time (of 3 such occasions in my life) that I saw my dad cry.
Apols for lack of funny etc.

Hiab is to cranes, as JCB is to diggersAs Biro is to ballpoint pens
As Hoover is to vacuum cleaners.
