I once told a Health and Safety spy bird to **** off and let me get on with my job. I also told her she was causing an obstruction.
You see, there was only really room for one person between the two lanes of vehicles driving onto the boat.
I was reported for not wearing a high vis jacket, and informed I should stand at the side. I pointed out that a high vis jacket would be nowhere near as effective as the Metz flash gun that was being used on full power at every car that came on the boat (at about 5 mph), that the side would give me no way to dodge if need be, would mean 50% of the cars I needed to snap not getting snapped, etc. I repeated to my boss that said lady could **** off, that I wasn’t complying, and that as it would adversely affect my bonus he could **** off too.
And I didn’t comply. That year, or the next. ******s.
