I saw these on UF. You might have to scroll a little to the right for the full effect of the last one. They're nt exactly quality, but there's no section titled "Shitty Web photos":

i think the one i like the most is the last one .. that guy is compleatly clueless, the rest of them are being foolish and had to set up the situations they got themselvs into, but that last guy is just flat out stupid.

I like the dumb smile on his face.

That's exactly what makes the picture. I get a hearty chuckle every time I look at his face. What a dumb grin. It's great!

Heh, saw this at work, on a smaller screen size, so it took me a moment to realize there was more of the picture off to the right. Now, I look at that guy and all I can think of is this:

"Hey, Lois!! They found that canister with the red spiky design thing on it! These guys are neat!"

The new management is completely renovating the apartment buildings I live in. And these mexican construction workers are <i>insane</i>. They scale buildings without ladders, and once they get up there, their buddy on the ground will toss a board up to them, and they'll catch it it mid-air and hammer it into place. Hell, I'm afraid to go out on my balcony.. these guys are up there without a ladder, and instead of hanging on for dear life, they're catching 2x4's with both hands!

Of course, they're only two stories up. I suppose people build skyscrapers every day.

A fall from two stories kills some 50% of people who make it. Still not something to be careless about.

As cool as bermuda short man is ... I think he pales in comparison to bare feet on aluminum ladder in a swimming pool with a power tool. I sure hope that moron is using one of those breakered bathroom outlets ... or if he isn't he has not yet reproduced. If we can keep him out of the gene pool, all the better.

Enjoyable pics all!

Why am I only seeing little boxes with red "x's" in them? Have I been bad?

Nevermind...they just took eons to download...our DSL has sucked big green donkey phalli here at work lately.

That one appears to be from possibly Mexico (or some other Spanish-speaking country). The chalkboard in the background looks like it says "especiales," or something to that effect.

**zaap** Que lastima!

I like the one with the ladder in the bucket loader, hope his hydraulic lines don't leak at all

Oh and is that a bird on the pole, I thought it looked like an ostrich but wasn't sure???

I think there's a second guy on the top of the ladder. He's leaning to the left and away. That's his leg to the right. The guy standing on the ladder is steadying it for the one being REALLY stupid.

"To the left and away. To the left and away...." This shot was taken from the grassy knoll.

I do believe you're right bruce, it's amazing what you can see when you know what your looking at isn't it.

He's also soaked from mid-shirt down, to improve conductivity. But that brings up the question -- how do you install a light fixture over a filled pool?
juju • Apr 24, 2003 9:41 pm
Drain the pool?
Undertoad • Apr 24, 2003 9:47 pm
Cordless
dave • Apr 25, 2003 6:23 am
There's also the distinct possibility that the power was cut.
That Guy • Apr 25, 2003 8:36 am
That doesn't matter when you're using an extension cord that may drape into the water. UT is right - cordless is the way to go here. At most, he'd lose a decent drill that way, possibly a screwdriver depending on what level of cordless we're talking about.

Not to the drill ...

Hire an illegal alien, they're cheap and disposable.;)

If the cord hits the water probably nothing would happen. If the plug between the drill cord and extension cord hits it would probably short out and blow the fuse/breaker. Neither should pose a threat to the guy on the ladder. But if the drill shorts out the guy is now the path to ground. Bzzt, zap, fizzle he's done.

But he does have his safety goggles on.

(He does, check it!)
xoxoxoBruce • Apr 25, 2003 10:54 pm
And lots of refreshments.
