You took one for the team. I have mad scars from a broken shower door.

Glass is no longer code for a shower door, for a good reason!

🤮

Man almost nut himself out of existence

It is absolutely possible, OP got super lucky no one else decided to have a smoke. That boom would've been a hell of an alarm

You don't smell the gas if you have been sitting in the room from the beginning, only if you walk into a room after it has been leaking for some time. Happend to me once, I was sitting in the kitchen with my roommate and started to feel a headache. But didn't feel the smell. We were both awake and talking. After some time a neighbour from the flat above us knocked on the door because she could already smell it when she walked trough the corridor and saved us (important, you shouldn't ring a bell in such situation because it could start an explosion). We have been sitting by a stove leaking gas probably for more than an hour.

EDIT: Thanks for the award! The note about the bell seems to interest many people, so I'd like to add, you shouldn't do anything that might cause a spark of electricity, like switching on/off a light or any electronic device or plugging anything out or in electrical outlet. Don't touch anything with electricity and of course don't light a match.

Still no self awareness about cheating on your fucking wife with a bunch of hookers

FYI it wouldn't have killed them. There is no carbon monoxyde in natural gas. Worst case the smell and irritation would wake them up. The risk would be more an explosion, but not sure it's quite possible with that amount of gas

Edit: downvote how much you want, but gas open with no flames cannot create CO. It's impossible. And for an explosion to happen the smell has to be VERY bad.

Oh yeah, agreed.

I just read that there's a shortage of engineers to hire in a lot of places, so, if your company is smart, they'll keep you on.

Which is why I think OP can breathe a little. If the manager got fired it was more intentional than a typo.

dude weed lmao

Thank you very much. I have just ordered that book on myb favourite used book website.

I've been working dod contracts for my whole career, making corrections is standard and billing has a lag to the government. Now intentional miss charging is the only thing I've seen someone get walked out for immediately. So I do agree it can be serious, I just doubt it was "one simple mistake and fired" especially for a director

Bro must have a giant dick for his wife to stay loyal.

Especially when ctrl+enter sends, I've had more than one colleague send a half finished email because they managed to hit ctrl...

Another thing for this specific issue, put "kind regards" in your signature, won't make this mistake again

What I like to do is fully type the email and read it before even putting the recipient in the address bar. Reduces sending a message prematurely

I have Jabra and Bose that multipair, and AKG that do not.

I have this freedom but still don't do it, I turn the ambient sounds down then pull out headphones if I need to hear something.

They're your parents. They know full well what you get up to in your alone time. As a parent, I can honestly tell you that it's not a big deal at all.

For outlook it depends on receivers policy as well, otherwise they get a request to recall; which makes them look closer at the email, best way is to add a 2min+ delay on all outbound emails (known as the career saver) so you can delete it when you accidently send.

I must say, that was an excellent read. I would be lying if I said I didn't laugh the whole time. Glad to know you're better though, I hope you'll get well soon!

Gotcha! I’ve always wondered that. Thank you!

Yup, had one explode all over my hand and while I was cut many many times, each cut was tiny and I wasn't really in pain or anything. I don't want to think about how deep the cuts would've been if they'd been heavier pieces of glass falling down.

Key word. Stoned.
