Hmph. OSHA tells me my flaming gas vapor room is "unsafe for workers"
Fuck them. What is this, Russia? It's not like they're in that room very long, it's only the entranceway. They come in from the outside, and then walk out the opposite side to punch in. Like no one at OSHA has a foyer? Bastards.

Last year, after complaints, I had to take down the Wall of Blades by the timeclock.

The year before that, it was the exploding mustard gas canisters in the break room.

And the year before that, would you believe, some asshat in the factory calls OSHA to complain that the mines in the "authorized personnel only" area are "scaring" him. HAH! The bastard wasn't even an authorized personnel!

They should rename OSHA to DNS - Damn Near Stalin.

4. You know, that's a good idea!
I think an employer has the right to design his factory/office any way he wants! If people don't like it, they don't have to fucking work there.

3. They were all over me because of the hydrogen cyanide I put in
worker's respirators.
Only 5 died and they acted like I was Ted Bundy or something! Fucking safety nazis.

6. Bunch of crybabies
I swear, employees do nothing but bitch and complain and whine. "My foot got cut off! My hair is on fire! I'm afraid working next to the bottomless pit, put up a safety rail! I don't like being electrocuted!"

Like I'm made of fucking money.

5. I think you should adopt a lot of kids.
I'm sure CPS wouldn't mind at all if you used velcro to keep them on the wall while you surf the net or if you set up the Fun Playhouse O' Death in your backyard or something.

They make OSHA look like Buddhist Monks.

13. Hell, you can't even lock the kids in a broom closet for 3 or 4 days
anymore! How the hell can you disclipline them?

And then they keep bitching about my meth lab in the garage----saying the fumes are bad for the kids.
p'shaw.

14. "fumes" - that's a riot! Like the air isn't already full of chemicals
like oxygen and nitrogen and carbon dioxide and shit.

Fuckin' liberals and their scare tactics.

19. Pfagh. Like the Earth hasn't been full of Mercury since God put it there
I mean, where the hell do they think the Mercury came from in the first place? It's always been here, so what's it matter if you give it back to the Earth?

You'd think the tree-huggin' hippie wackos would APPLAUD you for putting the Mercury back.

But NoooOOOOoooOOOoooo....

9. Simple Solution - rename it "Clean and Clear Sparkling Vapor Hall"
Miss Karen Hughes and Frank Luntz gave me that name. That should get OSHA off your back.

10. Yes! That's excellent! I'll say it's an "exfoliator"
And charge them extra for walking through it!

17. I used to store my glass shards in the ice cube trays in the freezer.
They made me take those out of the break room. Fuckers.

21. Fuckers.
For one thing, they should make their own goddamned ice and not expect the employer to pay for it.

For another thing, if they want glass-free ice, they should make their own goddamned ice and not expect the employer to pay for it.

Is this really that complicated?

For fuck's sake, it's a simple RIGHTS issue. I thought liberals were all for RIGHTS? So why do they keep regulating mine away?

18. I Have A Similar Problem W/ Health Inspectors At My Restaurant
Seems I'm not allowed to use the water from the mop bucket to make the soup!

And I have to get rid of the monkey I was using to wash the dishes! Seems they didn't like the fact that he was tossing his feces everywhere! I mean, what do they expect??? He's a monkey for fucks sake! That's what they do!

20. That's totally inexcusable!
Like you're going to be able to find a monkey trained to do dishes that DOESN'T throw feces? That's just bullshit.

Christ, might as well just hire a person if they're gonna be that fascist about it. 'Course, with the wages they demand, you'll be out of business in two days.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario, and I'm getting tired of it.
