@@joshuarich2607 Loong ago I read that putting 1, maybe 2, cans of Coke in the big barrel of a cement truck would keep the mix from setting up a lot longer.

I'm guessing his mix was actual concrete etchent that you can get from places like home Depot. Curling nose hairs is a mild description as the fumes of concentrated hydrochloric acid will make you involuntarily exhale, sometimes violently as it attacks your sinus cavities, airways, and mucous membranes. I use it to remove rust and other oxides before polishing or painting, and you usually dilute it significantly just so it's easy to work with. It will strip paint and is a common chemical to use in autobody specifically for that purpose. Just slathering it on your hood will guarantee rust spots within 24hrs. Phosphoric acid is also not something to play with. I don't use it so I can't tell you a whole bunch, but I have used it to polish aluminum. It easily attacks the oxide layer so you can polish the actual metal, but even at 3% you can't leave it on more than 30 seconds as it will aggressively attack the aluminum as well. The fumes also sting your eyes. Op is 100% correct that they should have known something was up with that mix immediately.
The acid on the car to clean it story....When I worked the big box store on 3rd shift. They blocked off a section of floor In the front. They were chemically stripping it so they could put a new layer of wax on. Some drunk guy came in bought sone stuff and as he left they told him about the area and he ignored them. He walked right through the middle and did the classic slip and fall. Just like it was out of Hollywood, one of the maintance people said with a smile, " He's going to get a surprise in the morning." The guy was wearing an expensive leather jacket and when he fell, the entire back was covered with floor stripper. 😨
Centuries back I was in the Army and we were preparing for an inspection. We needed to strip the tiles since the grout was almost black. Our Sergeant got a carboy of muriatic acid which we used to clean all the tiles. The real challenge was we wore our combat boots and used straw brooms. Each broom lasted about 15 minutes but our boots lasted longer. It took us about three hours to get all the tile scrubbed but the soles on my boots were almost gone by then. The acid did the job but it was hard on our boots. Don't even think about breathing the fumes.
@@Harry-zz2oh I was an E2 in an E5 slot at Ft. Rucker. There was a one man room assigned to that slot. It had had a minor, smokey fire in the past. The damaged floor tiles and vinyl baseboard molding had been replaced, but the entire room had a gray film from the smoke. It was most obvious on the floor, since the old tiles looked like crap. I used Automotive rubbing compound to remove a thin layer of the damaged surface, then scrubbed the concrete block walls. The place looked great when I finished. We had several Generals from the Pentagon visiting the base, and one asked my Captain who the room was assigned to. He got upset that an E2 had it, then he laughed. "Hell, this is the cleanest room that I've seen on any base, so let him keep it!" Then the Captain explained why I had it. I had been in a four bay, with three slobs, The room was unused because of the fire, but it was assigned to my mission critical section. and I had to work odd hours at times.
When I worked in a call center, on some days, calls would get backed up. Then we would get a caller that was upset about the hold time, and complains about it. Then instead of getting their issue resolved, they keep us on the call as long as possible, thinking that will teach us a lesson. We are paid by the hour, so it doesn’t affect me at all. It does affect all the callers still on hold. So their effort to teach us a lesson, is only inconveniencing all the other callers on hold.
I was a Broadcast Engineer in the US Army in the '70s. Morons would get pissed that the phone wasn't answered when we had technical problems. I would tell them, "If I answer every damned call, I won't get back on the air until tomorrow. I'm the only one in the building, and the only one who can get us back on the air." Some would call every time the 16mm film broke, or even to complain about the cue marks. That was a small area in the upper right screen that was clear for several frames. There were three groups, A pre-roll warning, the second you started the second projector, and the third, you switch the camera to the other projector. I also got calls from entitled officers who thought they could order me to change the schedule. I told them all off, up to and including one visiting General who bragged about having friends at the Pentagon. Never piss off an Engineer!
Worked mobile wash years ago. Some of the large fuel tanks trucks haul around are aluminum, matt finish. They get that way with a light acid wash that must be rinsed off immediately. Do not get it on windows, it will etch them. While in a lot one day, a trucker thought he knew it all and used our power washers and mix to clean his beautiful, company owned, 18 wheeler. Yeah. That just eats paint fast. He raised hell, but it was all on him.

Last story is hilarious. She wanted op to answer the phone when it rings so he did. Lol. She cant be mad when he does that. Had she been a more polite person and just told OP what her problem was and let OP do their jobs everything would have been ok.
Like feeding a hippopotamus Olestra. Hilarious, and for anyone who's worked around these machines they know how true this is. Great writing that perfectly captures a moment - sounds like something that belongs (if they still have it) on the back page feature of Fine Homebuilding (I think they called it "Great Moments in Building" or the like.
Final Story, Never tell someone how to do THEIR JOB, this is the easiest way to make sure they do their job sort of correctly, and Screw you over without a write up.
Hi RedWheel hope you are well. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and Please stay safe all who reads this and watches this video.🏴😁😷👍. Be the best you can be. Have fun with the new people who you meet. Make the day the best for all.
So I work for a call center with a major bank. Like one of the top 5 banks in the world. Anywho I get calls all the time where the people expect you to have one agent for every caller that calls in. We literally have customers in the 10’s of millions. Even the largest bank can’t employ that kind of labor force. If only we had call waiting on our lines! I would have done the same exact thing! I’m sure I would have gotten a write up but it would have been so worth it.
The first guy should have stuck it out for a bit and logged his time, had others do the same, then just work a 40 hour week and leave like he did. Then report the business for unpaid OT (both making the money and putting a fine on the company) and then screwing over the contract as he did.
If the first story is true (sorry, I have to say it about ALL these stories until I see more documentation) and occurred in the USA, if the company forced employees to work off the clock they are subject to some HUGE Federal labor violation fines. Just no way around it, ask Walmart.
Thanks for your stories fellow watchers love to hear good stories from jobs i never have had or have done learning stuff by hearing stories is always better then f... up myself.
ah the first story...very relatable... several idiots in hs thought they could work you to the bone and then throw in a oops well the ot wasn't approved so you wouldn't be paid...while at the same time demanding that you finish, this wasn't a issue of slacking off but more of a getting work load thrown at you that won't be done in 8 hours so queue malicious compliance... pack up and leave... these idiots still believed in verbally letting us know ot was "approved" only for it not to show up in our paychecks... luckily i was recording it all... and we stopped working past 8hrs and caught a lot of lovely chatter in the end i told them off that if it wasn't on paper with his signature approving the Ot his empty threats weren't going to work, made a nice point in mentioning his previous verbal lies that he denied to have ever happened (recorded) as a result we continue to only do our 8 and we stopped killing ourselves, eventually we all left and worked for their competitor was a major relief. old douche boss went broke because he kept collecting money on work and projects he hoped in pushing us that he could meet the goals while his ot policy would keep his profits up , in the end he had to issue refunds and from what i heard some clients didn't get a full refund so they sued
So, an "experienced" cement/concrete worker washed his car with muriatic acid ?? What a moron. Definitely don't want them doing any work for me! Honestly, the smell should have given it away. The fact that you just washed down the cement truck with it should have given it away! It's fresh, hose off the bulk of it and alternate spritzing with vinegar and rinsing.
I worked in an office that had an experienced person answering the phones. People would call in looking for information. This one caller calls in asking for info. Caller asks this lady to wait until she finds a pencil and paper. The lady says, you are wasting my time. Call me back when you found your paper and pen and hangs up the phone.
I especially had to laugh at the phrase a "smoking lounge on the Hindenburg level of terrible (idea)", because I just happened to watch a program on the Hindenburg disaster the other day. they were so confident in their design's safety that passengers WERE actually allowed to smoke on board. But no, that isn't what brought it down. Scientists on the program performed various experiments, trying to determine the most likely cause, ultimately deciding that a leaking gas cell ignited by an electric spark from the outer skin, which was energized by a lightning storm was probable .
Long ago I read that just 1, maybe 2, cans of Coke poured into thi big barrel of a cement truck would keep the concrete from setting up for a lot longer. I had that confirmed by construction guys. Does anyone know if that would work on cement? I never heard the chemistry as to why that worked, only that it did.
It's not the Coke, it's the sugar in the Coke: "Sugar delays the setting time of cement by up to 1.33 hours at dosage level of 0.06% by weight of cement. No effect on workability, compaction by the use of sugar as admixture in concrete. Higher long-term compressive strength can be achieved in concrete by the use of sugar as admixture."
I guess the "private property" was the OP's bucket of nasty, and the Karen is the other concrete guy. That's about as close to coherent the titles ever get on this channel. It's like a signature.
Like CV 816 said, "Point of Sale," a generic term for the various computerized cash register systems that most businesses use nowadays...though I'm sure many fellow retail veterans know that those OTHER words you're thinking of are equally fitting for when the registers don't work.
