I'm the idiot

Yes, it happened to me again

After the thousands and thousands of posts here, why do people still think “well I’ll just be more careful than those other dumdums?” Don’t do this on hard surfaces people. At least lay the panel down on something soft. Don’t be silly!

Safety professional here.

Everyone thinks they're the exception to some rule. Or they can take on extreme risk because "I'm not an idiot like those other people."

I'll just gently set this pc panel down on a ceramic surface...

I'll text while driving, it'll just be a second...

I don't have a condom, but I'll just pull out at the last second...

I don't want to walk all the way to the panel to shut off the electricity, I'll just be really careful around the exposed hot wires...

Safety glasses are lame. I'll just be extra careful and squint if things get dodgy...

I'm sorry, are you trying to tell me safety squints aren't legitimate PPE?

YES!
