That's all I've got, fren

>Working on a well for Marathon
>Pic related holds sand and throws it into a hopper when we pump a stage. We call it a sand chief
>Marathon is serious about safety, even more so than normal
>They have a safety guy whose job is to walk around the site looking for unsafe things
>I show up on location and find out the last engineer emptied every bin on the sand chief except the 2 closest to the front
>The weight of the sand made the sand chief tip over
>Safety guy walks right by it and misses it
>We poker face and empty that chief on the next stage, tell nobody.

>Sand gets stored inside a storage trailer that looks like this (we called it a sand chief)
>It has 4 bins, 1-4 going from back to front
>Show up on location
>Other shift emptied bin 1 and 2 and started emptying bin 3, while bin 4 was full
>Since all the weight is in the front, the sand chief is tipping over to the front
>Next stage we emptied the front bin on that sand chief to untip it
>Client never noticed the tipping chief and we got away with it
