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

One of my old bosses used to sell drive belts for agricultural machineryHe told us a story once of going to a farm in Iran where some sort of machine was jammed, and a guy was trying to sort it.
"I've got my arm in it, don't switch it on!" he shouted to the operator - who heard "...switch it on!" and cheerfully obliged.
It chewed his arm to bits up to the shoulder apparently*. My boss arrived there literally seconds later, and said that he'd never heard screams like it - nor did he ever want to again.
*there's that word again
