Lurid Work Stories"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

They're true, lor' blessus.I worked at a polymer plant about a decade ago where they blended nylon and produced pellets for injection molding, as well as making carpet fiber. Two incidents spring to mind that happened at that very plant.
I met a guy who was using a color copier to make copies of exceptionally gruesome photos showing extreme burls to a leg. The photos turned out to be of his leg. He had been filling a tanker truck with molten polymer when the hose came loose and blasted a gush over him. At 650F, this does Very Bad Things. And, of course, the first instinct is to brush it off fast with your hands, so he got molten polymer on them as well. He showed me some of the scars.
Then there was the woman who saw a tangle in a vat of yarn that was being wound onto a spool and reached in to untangle it. The yarn wrapped around her arm, pulverizing the bones to the point where it had to be amputated. This happened less than a hundred feet from my office.
And then there was the guy who put his dick in the pickle slicer...
