This is a question 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

Actually came very close
but no cigar.

I was linishing some brakes whilst working in a wheel chair factory. I had gloves on (even tho you're not supposed to when working with any rotary based machine). However linishing hundreds of small pieces of metal tends to make them.. well hot. Usually too hot for you to hold each one with your naked flesh.
I'd turned the machine off and turned to the bloke performing the same job next to me (with gloves on no less) to say something when then end of the mounted belt sander caught my ring finger and ran it thru the smaller drive wheel of the sander (which was still moving).

Que me finding the palm side of my ring finger facing as I looked down onto the top of my hand just out of the glove.

Spiral fractures hurt yo.

They should have amputated you and saved the finger.

No, that's not really how that works.
Everyone is sick of you, just fuck off.

So by "everyone" is sick of me
do you mean all the people who have clicked "I like this" on my stories enough times that they've been posted on the popular page for a few weeks running now?
