Ours got his tie caught in a belt sander. If it wasn't for a quick thinking kid who pulled the cord...
He did get some chin sanding in, which is nice.
wearing a tie in a workshop is mental ๐คฎ
Those teachers wore ties in my school... They were clip-on for exactly this reason.
I almost got kicked out of university for what they taught me in highschool ๐ turns out safety protocol is actually super important ๐คฏ
Still, so obstinate. Like whyyy
Wearing a tie in a workshop is like pointing a gun at other people at the shooting range. Never do it unless you want bad things to happen.
I bet he switched to bowties after that!
He did not. He made learning exciting though.
The original reason that Geek Squad employees wear clip on ties is in the event it gets on pulled into a printer, it won't choke them. At least that's what I was taught 15+ years ago when I worked GS.
Real men wear real ties that will get them killed in case of a minor accident. Not like you woke liberal tech dorks with your safety standards and learning things ๐
Yeah we've had enough Poe's law. This isn't really funny any more
