I worked with a guy that put his work gloves on the top of his tool box everyday at the end of his shift, he got tired of coming in the next day with his gloves nowhere to be found....so he continued to leave his gloves on the top of his tool box but this time he put Steel Blue Layout Fluid in them to see who took them...worked perfect...no one touched his gloves again...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 I also hate when people use my Sharpies. Why am I the only person that understands that if you push down you ruin the tip which makes it a lot harder to write legibly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 When people touch/use my knives (butcher problems) Walked into my cutting room with a guy using my boning knife to scrap some stuff, that got ugly pretty quick...

Bremon Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 So true Jimbo. When I initially started woodwork at this company I brought my M12 Fuel impact to speed things up and avoid people snagging the Dewalt impacts as soon as they're set down. Was asked only a few times "hey, can I use that for a second?" "No." Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like walking in to see someone using your brushless drill as a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually are knives are fairly disposable, we have a sharpening service that rotates them every other week, now my knives I sharpen myself, the ones we get can be rather crudely sharpened, so cost wise isn't bad but just the point of using MY knife lol Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 this is so offensive . my contributions... bad grammar. I correct people all the time (yes, I realize I'm being an asshole). My biggest pet peeve at work though is the microwave. The plate is almost always off the spinning track, and there are always 5-10 seconds left on it. Makes me want to take it out back and smash it to share the misery. What's so wrong with putting 5-10 seconds less on the timer to begin with? Takes me two seconds to correct but the annoyance keeps giving long after that haha. Oh, and people using one or two of your tools, then leaving them where ever they were when they finished with them so you have to go looking when you need it. So many laps for nothing. I admit I'm one to notice and correct bad grammar as well (and spelling) I don't have the microwave problems, I have my own in my van powered by an inverter so I can always have a hot lunch!!

comp56 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 one of the worst is way back early in my career when there was more than one boss/owner sniffing around the shop....one would tell you go left and the other would say go right......years later we talked about and laughed........ but most of all when I was around the shop many years seeing guys doing stupid things especially not wearing safety glasses......I used to stop them and say 20 minutes of aggravation wearing the safety glasses was better then a life time of aggravation not wearing them....

Yeah, I always get onto people when we cut shit with the panel saw to wear ear plugs, our saw isn't the sharpest so its loud. when you're ripping board after board after board. I've learned my lesson when I had a Diablo grinder disc explode in my face and miss it completely. Scared the living shit out of me. The thing was, I saw a tiny crack in the disc, I used it anyway, thinking itll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily you guys aren't getting damascus knives or something, I don't know why I imagined you guys would use expensive knives, that's more of a chef thing.

Chefs put some big money in their knives, but even if we had a higher quality blade they wouldn't last that long the amount of cutting we do would still require very regular sharpening, all it takes is one bone to tear the edge up on your knife and it's done, let alone the morons that can't hold an edge on their blade Jimbo Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigWagWorkshop Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 In my younger days, I could have listed so many, that it would take you a day to read my post LOL. I recently made a post about folks holding up their phones through a concert, holding them high up in the air, with their bright screens, Uhhhhgggg! What ever happen to holding up a Bic lighter during the slow tune? That being said, in my day-to-day life, I have learned to take a deep breathe, and not let anything bother me. SO with the answer to the original topic, I don't have any pet peeves anymore. BUT, that is not saying things don't piss me off LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
