Safety regulations are for wimps.

REAL men do dangerous jobs without getting hurt. Idiots can get hurt while opening an envelope even while wearing gloves and a hard hat.

Always stupid rules. I used to tell apprentices at work: if the foreman's watching, do things the company way. If you're on your own, do it the safe and sensible way.

I’ve worked in multiple stamping plants. One of the cardinal rules for press work is to have one hand on each of 2 buttons to stroke the press.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen that defeated by operators. Gives me the willies.

When I was in the tank truck business, I worked with an old school terminal manager who had started driving tractor trailers in the late 60s. He told me a story to illustrate the point that natural selection produced great truck drivers in his era. During his teen years, Larry was racing a guy in a '57 Chevy on a back country road in the hills of Pennsylvania. On a sharp turn, he stayed on the road, the other guy ran off, and hit a tree. No air bags or even seat belts back then, guy went through the windshield, survived, but broke both arms and a leg. That guy never drove commercial, Larry later ran a million miles accident free in a tractor trailer, became one of our employer's top managers after he was done driving.
