[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2822613, member: 35678"] There are a few, but here's a goodie: When I used to work at McDinks, a manager there was emptying the fry vats, which are, fo course, filled with hot oil. So, then get symphoned off into this sqare cake-pan sort of tray (except it's huge and fits a goos 20+ litres) and then we have to switch it into a big bucket to transport it across WalMart (in many places in Canada, McDonalds are located right in Walmarts) to the back room through the automotive dept. and out the back door into a special dumpster. So this manager takes out the big tray, hoistes it up, and begins to poor this still-quite-hot oil right into the bucket. Big Mistake. Seems there is still some ater in the bottom of the bucket and the oil immediately starts to boil when it hits the water. Since this guy was beefy and strong, he'd lifted the oil tray up quite high and had emptied out a good 10 litres of this oil. You know what comes next. The oil goes EVERYWHERE in the back-end of McDonalds, under every table and in every corner. It's like a literal [i]Grease[/i] spell, with the floors being EXTREMELY slippery. And guess who had to clean up this crap. Yeah, that's right, me. :] Took me four hours to finally get the floors clean, and it was really ugly. Luckily, he played D&D and was a buddy of mine, so we chatted about his level 35 +5 Red Dragon Plate-slayed-by-he-himself Dwarven Pureclassed Fighter for the night. Ah, good times :) [/QUOTE]
