We’ve all worked with this guy. Some of us were this guy.

  • “Just by looking and taking a guess, I’d say he fucked up. That’s my best guess. This is some shit my night shift guy would pull. Just leave a handwritten note and let day shift deal with it”

  • “I think he probed the part a little too hard”

  • “My guess is it had something to do with Z and a decimal point”

  • “After having this happen more than once, we had a sub-routine built-in to every program. MDI was only allowed by Set-up leads. 20 CNC's 4 leads 2 on first shift and 2 on second shift. No more crashes in 9 years.”

  • “Anyone who hasn't crashed one is either a damned liar or just hasn't ran one long enough.”

  • “You f*cked up A A Ron”

  • “If I did this, I’d just quit and go home.”
