This FREAKOUT happened on Monday, but I've been busy working and am too lazy to post from home so it had to wait until today to get posted...and the best part was, one of the bossmen helped to instigate this one!
Without getting too terribly specific, we have a project at work that we needed to go document some electrical rooms in a building. My boss and I had been there before and heard stories of an electrical worker getting killed there several years ago, and you can still kind of see where he died because that had to repaint that area of the room and such (gross I know) but it provided a great means in which to heckle Bob...always a good thing.
Ok, onto the story....
The three of us are talking and planning out what we need to do for this project and the site visit the next day, so the bossman and I are telling Bob about this room where the dude died and how it was "his first day on the job" and that he got electrocuted so bad he exploded. This goes on for about 5 minutes and Bob starts getting a little twitchey, so we tell Bob that while this did happen, there's no reason for him to be worried as we won't be opening any of the equipment or anything. Well, Bob sits there for a few minutes then informs use that he is "seriously concerned about his safety" and doesn't think he should have to go if his life is going to be in danger.
Fast forward to the next day and we're done our field work and the bossman and I are telling the rest of the office about the "dead-guy paint spot" and Bob becomes quite offended telling me that I'm acting completely inappropriate and that I need to keep my mouth shut and show some respect. I guess Bob's near death experience helped him bond with the guy who got electrocuted there like 10 years ago...wasn't there a movie about something like that once?
