Around 2005 my dad was working for a small air cargo company, the owner did him a favor and gave me a part time job in the evening while I was going to the local community college. Dad did double duty as accounting and HR and when I hired in I had to meet with him to go over the company’s employee handbook.
We went over bit by bit until I asked who would do that? to one of the items. He looked me straight in the eyes and said each of these rules come from actual incidents. He then calmly grabbed a tab and flipped to a section and said and we call this chapter Dennis.
Fun fact 20 years later and Dennis is the chief pilot of the company and one of only two people there I would blindly get in a plane with.
Once had a teacher explain to our class all the things you were not aloud to do with the school DSLR cameras. It was mostly what you’d expect: don’t leave it in your car, get it wet, etc., but when ‘don’t set it on fire’ got everyone’s curiosity the teacher explained that they had a student return a scorched camera with the excuse that they “wanted the audience to be able to feel the fire.”
Every warning up there is in place because someone tried to do exactly what the warning tells you not to.
