So I'm training my replacement at work, this week. While he's working on things, I just kind of sit there and wait. As part of said waiting, my mind tends to wander. (I think I might struggle with ADD - at least intermittently.) I've had this specific shredder in my office for a few years now and I think it just might be the most temperamental piece of equipment, I've ever seen in my life.
But I noticed for the first time, what's posted on the top of the machine. From right to left:
"Don't shred: your ties, your hair, your hands, or you BABIES."
Personally, whenever I get my tie or my hand stuck in the shredder, my first instinct is to throw in my baby so it'll let go of whatever else is currently stuck in the machine! OIY!
The worst part of this warning label is that you know its there just because someone else actually did this.
bahahahaha. babies.
ReplyDeleteThis little warning is humorous and sad all at the same time. It turns out that toddler fingers are just right to fit in that slot and activate the shredder. If you are like me your brain has no problem generating the obvious gory and stomach turning results. http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/shredder.asp
