Had a coworker stick his hand in one of those really big kitchen mixers when we were making raw dough. His arm was broken in multiple places. There was also a waitress who used a bus tub to get ice for the salad bar. It was dirty by the way. She didn't want to look stupid by asking the chefs where we keep the clean buckets we use for that.
Yeaa I'll always say I'd rather someone ask a stupid question than actually BE stupid in action. Every stupid coworker I've ever had did the stupid shit off impulse and refused to ask questions cuz they "didn't want to look stupid" like.... You ended up looking stupid anyway, just ASK the question instead of ACTING stupid. 🫠
Wouldn't you? Like, imagine talking with your coworkers after that, i can guarantee that they 1) will never let you forget about it, 2)will make jokes about you and the hot oil/fryer and 3)will keep a close eye on you whenever you're close to it.
Delayed reactions to something painful can actually happen! Sometimes something hurts so much that either the pain just plain doesn't register for a time or you get momentarily paralyzed by it and can't react at that moment... then it hits like a truck moments later!
this was almost 15 years ago now, but when I worked food service at a waterpark, there were multiple instances of my fellow teenage coworkers being absolute idiots. here are a few from least to most trouble -Coworker gave herself freezer burn using ice from our soda machine and salt we usually used for pretzels. She was fine. -The park had a bar that was attached to the same building as the food stand, and one of the items they'd ship in for the bar were limes. Now, I wasn't on shift for this one, but the cooks decided to drop a whole lime into one of the fryers. It exploded. They tried to repeat this while I was there and nothing happened. Limes were not the first thing, nor the last, that was suggested for the fryer, but in the 4 years I was there, it was the only thing that made it in. -We had a policy where if you were an employee of the park, you could sign your name on a daily sheet to have the cost of whatever you're buying get taken from your paycheck. The last year I was there, there was a lifeguard who got in a ton of trouble because he was using other lifeguard's names when he got food. He got caught because he had used the name of someone who wasn't working there anymore when he got ice cream from me. That same day, he was also pointed out as the lifeguard on duty for one of the waterslides where a woman potentially broke her foot. I didn't see him after that.
If I had a nickel for every time I've seen someone stick their hands into a deep fryer, I'd have like three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened that many times.
For me... its tough but I think its gotta be this. Basically idiot cleans using their hands while using BLEACH... Some elderly person had an accident in the bathroom. Shit everywhere. So we have to clean it up. After the scraping is done (the guy helping me used the thin toilet paper and hands) I got the bleach out. I was going over everything with the mop but they continued with toilet paper and their hands... they then started to complain that their hands were burning for some unknown reason! I had to explain bleach and whmis to them. They where in their 40s, hardly some inexperienced child.
I knew a guy in high school who worked at this tiny local hot dog place. One day he and his coworker decided to pour an entire bag of ice into the deep fryer. They had to evacuate and shut down the restaurant for the rest of the day. By some miracle they didn’t get fired.
Ok but as somebody who has worked with a deep fryer before, honestly when it’s too early o’clock and the whole kitchen is hot, sometimes the brain don’t work too good 😂 especially because oil doesn’t bubble when it’s hot like water does - that’s a visual cue the brain uses to tell something is hot when the temp cue doesn’t register. Oil doesn’t steam either, so putting your hand above it doesn’t always give a strong “hot” sensation. You get that when there is a lot of food in the oil, steaming and bubbling away as it fries - but if only one thing is in there, or it’s been in there long enough for the water to boil off and stop bubbling/steaming, sometimes the “hot” cue gets lost. I will admit I had a few close calls, and so had most of the folks I’d worked with. Most of the time you catch yourself - but it only takes once.
or did everything for them. that’s how my parents were until they got tired of me asking questions. now i don’t know how to actually be an adult bcs i had no guidance. or he’s just dumb.
My old science teacher had also been a chef and once when we where talking about risks he told us how he also stuck his hand in a fryer whilst it was on. Another time when he was teaching one of my friends, he started humming Barbie girl whilst handing out sheets.
A nurse wanted to bathe a newborn into the same bathroom, is the mother nope hospital first wash for baby is the sink ,the doctor explained why you do not do that she left crying and quit
When I was a toddler, my mom was trying to show me how she makes pasta. I love pasta, so I reached my hand into the boiling water to grab some. According to my mom, I still tried to eat some of the pasta, but my dad says I dropped it immediately. I’m so grateful that I don’t have any scars from that lol (And before anyone goes crazy, my parents weren’t being negligent. I’m the only child and they didn’t realize that I didn’t know better)
When I was little I worked at burger king. We had to wipe everything down all the time. There was a slanted bar set on top of the sides of the fryers to stop oil from going between the machines. I wiped that bar down & my whole hand went into the fryer. Didn't do anything. It felt hot af but I didn't get injured. My guardian angel worked overtime when I was young. That wasn't even near the stupidest thing I did when I was young.
He’s confused but he’s got the spirit

Was definitely confused and thought the ice was for his injury and thought, “yeah I bet they don’t have a designated broken arm ice bucket”

I saw a nurse give an enema and then took the glove off with her teeth.
My old coworker dropped her cellphone in the fryer, did the same thing.

Dawg, how do you even do that
You’d be surprised at what people do when they’re not paying attention.
It's surprisingly common in kitchens. Basically, everyone I've ever met who works around fryers has a "someone stuck their hand in one" story.
I knew a guy in high school who worked at this tiny local hot dog place. One day he and his coworker decided to pour an entire bag of ice into the deep fryer. They had to evacuate and shut down the restaurant for the rest of the day. By some miracle they didn’t get fired.

Why not use a wooden stick to check the temperature, That worked pretty well for me .
I don't think that's stupid. I think that's absent-minded, and it happens to the best of us.
I’m gonna go ahead and assume the kids parent have never assigned him a chore or gave them responsibilities a day in their life…
I didn't have chores as a kid and teen but from a young age i learnt how to cook and now I'm in culinary school so.......

How is this even remotely relevant with the story. 💀 bro was just distracted it’s not that deep.

The reason he had the balls to each into the deep fryer is because he only grew down there and not upstairs
DM: "Any last words?"
Player: "Well your boyfriend says you come faster than a rabbit."
Hilarity ensues at table
A line cook I worked with did the same thing, now he’s manager…
My dad reached in the oven and grabbed a pan forgetting he didn't put the mit on.... I did too at point 😅😂
A nurse wanted to bathe a newborn into the same bathroom, is the mother nope hospital first wash for baby is the sink ,the doctor explained why you do not do that she left crying and quit
Drug's was definitely involved for him to stick his hand in hot oil and to leave it in the said oil for a couple of seconds
I HATW THE FACT THAT I WOULD'VE DONE THE SAME
That’s a good way to get 3rd degrees burns, and lose a hand.
This reminds me of when I watched my little sister use her fingers to unfold a part of her bacon that was in the pan this morning.
He forgot he was in real life and not Cooking mama
Its not intill I started working that I figured out that common sense is not that common
He put his hand in hot oil 😭

he reached his hand into the oil??? That isn't about common sense, that's someone who's missing a few screws
Oh no 💀
My moms boyfriend will sometimes not notice his hand or fingers are in HOT HOT HOTTT oil, and not feel a thing- we don’t know why
Kept putting a can of oil spray directly on the grill
I barely knew her as she only lasted two weeks but the idiot had weed in her wallet on day one...
Oh man! 😰 I feel really sorry for the dude, but WTF?!
