fuckin plastic piece of shit hoses

daeron - 13-6-2006 at 03:00

i almost lost my life right now. was working with a reactor with a heating jacket 210C, heated by mineral oil from the termostat, pumped by 0.5 -1m/s.
and the little fuckin retarded techincian idiot supplied me with a hose that can stand up to 75C.
i dont need to explain what happened next, the hose melted, the oil started bursting all over the lab, i got burns over my chest, the reactor cracked, the mixture caught fire, my lab coat started to burn, my gloves melted....FUUUUUCK.
im standing in the middle of some 5 m2 of oil around me..

luckily i was fast enough to put out the fire and strip. i hope the burns are not too dangerous, there are only a few blisters, and some part of the melted glove in my fuckin hand. and not to mention the embarresment when the firemen ran in and found me in my boxershorts and undershirt trying to put out the fire...

goddamnit, I HATE FUCKIN TECHINICIANS.

sorry for the bitching but i had to let off some steam, since officaly im responcible for this shit....im off to the doc

peace, oil, sand and soap.

Wow. That sucks. Glad you're ok.

Btw, fire the bastard.

That's why an authority always over checks the work of a techinician.

Agreed. Fire the incompetent fuck. Also, with the next technician you get, carefully
review the setup. Glad your OK.

Fire the guy who didn't train the tech.

If you do such work it can't hurt to check the items supplied to you, you may want to do that from now on.

Jope you'll be ok though, burns really suck. I once melted a bit of plastic into the skin of my hand, took ages to come off.

I hope you are OK and have calmed down enough to see the funny side of
"I HATE FUCKIN TECHINICIANS"
well fuck someone else then.

BTW, if the oil was at 75C when the hose failed, what cracked the reactor and what started the fire.

Ashame she's real HOT ! I'd say she owes you a fuck for the misery she put you through
as a contrite apology to the agrieved.

If your going to fuck people at your work place at least make sure that they can give you a promotion otherwise its not worth the time to take out the knee pads...

fire tha bitch!!!

Could you show a picture of the cracked reactor and point out the hose? It could be useful to avoid future mishaps for other people (and be quite intresting).
