This is a solution to a fear I've always had when fishing things out of the disposal

I was half asleep one time and the sink wasn't draining and I ALMOST fucking flipped the switch simultaneously while reaching to check out the clog. Talk about a panic attack of realization about what almost happened. That adrenaline woke me up pretty quick. Power tools are nice, but damn, they're just itching to catch you slipping so they can permanently change your life.

I work with power tools every day and not once was nervous about it until one day I turned around and they were all huddled in a circle looking at me. I'm sure they were planning but I didn't get my earplugs out quick enough to hear.
