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

I did a similar thing, if on a somewhat smaller scale...
Many years ago in my work car park. My mate was idly walking along, oblivious to anything as I drove out, so I turned the engine off and coasted up behind him, sounding my horn when a couple of feet away.
Although it had the desired effect of making him shit himself as he turned round, I hadn't really thought out the "stopping with no brake servo assist" thing, and quite nearly ran him over.

Hahahaha, yup, done that!
I did remember to yank the handbrake though.
