made me laugh
Outside our main admin building there is a sign that says "WE HAVE WORKED XYZ DAYS WITHOUT SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT" a pretty common sight wherever there is heavy machinery/ dangerous chemicals. Well- over the New Year the top bosses decided to make some renovations to the ground floor of the admin block. The aforementioned sign was getting covered in plaster and dirt so one of the maintainence engineers was tasked to move the sign from the admin block to the side of the security lodge. The actual number of days without accidents on Monday was 650, which was close to our record of 702. Then the engineer droppped the sign on his foot.

Number of days without accident or incident =0

That is tremendous
When I'm moving stuff, I tend to try to wedge open doors so I can shift it unimpeded.

The ideal thing to hold open a heavy fire door? Yup, a fire extinguisher. i justify it by telling people that if there's a fire, the extinguisher's handy.
