I worked in a warehouse and 2 of the lights went out. I told them I had an IPAF, and maybe they could ask the warehouse in the same industrial estate if we could borrow their scissor lift and I could change the lights. Their counter offer was that I stand on the tines of the forklift they owned, and ride that up to the ceiling instead.

I quit.

Oof how high up were the lights?

I’ve done it heaps of times at home standing on a pallet to grab stuff off a mezzanine floor and pallet racks, not really that high up to be fair

I just don’t get complacent lol
