The worst one was when one bozo, who used to abuse Oxycontin (he had a script from a pill mill) decided to "ground out" a station. He then went about his business, forgetting to remove the ground cables. They were pretty heavy, heavy enough to trip the big breakers.

The sound the system made when he threw the breaker was awful. A very very loud sixty herz hum. The lights dimmed out for a moment and then went up.

I was sure I was going to smell smoking meat....

We came around the corner expecting to find dead folks but found two guys giggling like school children.

They got written up. One of them competed with me for my present job. The interviewers didn't mention him by name but said, "We're not even going to bother interviewing him...".

Do stupid stuff, pay the price.

There you go. Unfortunately there are too many other people who never did the drugs or drank the alcohol, but end up paying the price.
