        It's a repeat of the Russian hack from a few years ago.

          In my room alone (tank washing), I've seen:

          People pointing high pressure and chemical hoses at each other as a joke.

          People with their safety glasses below their nose.

          People with the arm of their glasses in their teeth.

          People with no face shields. On purpose.

          People who lose their ****. I saw one guy shove a pair of scissors in someone's face.

          And I or another person says something, they'll correct themselves for a bit, then revert back to incorrect action. Our bonus depends on less than X recordable injuries, yet people still don't stop and think.

            People who do not turn on their lights when driving in the rain grind my gears. And not just the automatic headlights - tail lights need to be on, too.

              BMW drivers who mock-run you when you're crossing the street to find your Uber ride, just to express their annoyance that you're not crossing fast enough for them. Then have the nerve to roll down the window and yell, "Get your head out of the screen!" Yeah? Well get yours out of your arse and I'll think about it.

                Rewards credit card "gamers" who recommend stupid sh*t like gift card churning, hugely overpaying your taxes (then collecting your refund later), and giving out thousands of dollars in Kiva loans, all to "manufacture" more CC spend/get more points.

                    A couple weeks back I was crossing, a couple other people were also crossing in front of me. There was a car waiting to turn right and the truck behind him was angrily waving for people to walk faster so the guy in front could turn. We weren't walking lackadaisical or anything, just a regular walk. So I waved back like I was saying hi and watched him say something to his wife before he drove off at a normal speed from the light. Didn't seem like he was really in a hurry or anything.

                    Some people are just impatient.

                      Basically get a bunch of store credit cards/airline credit cards that offer rewards or cash back, use them enough to get a bunch of rewards, then cancel them before fees kick in. Use your ill-gotten gains to rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

                        Oh no, that's not even the half of it. At least CC churning is not fraud. Dumb when overdone, but not fraud.

                        I'm talking about the guys and gals who go out and buy 10 grand worth of vanilla gift cards (preferably using a credit card that gets 2x or 3x points), then take them to Walmart and social engineer the cashiers at the service desk to let them buy a bunch of money orders using the gift cards like debit cards, then deposit the money orders into a checking account that they use to pay off the card. Thereby being out only the cost of the gift card and money order fees.

                        There are people doing $50,000+ a month of this, using spreadsheets to track it all. Such a ridiculous waste of time, not to mention the risk of shutdowns and the impact to your credit score.

                          Even at 2%, that’s only $1,000/month. Not worth it.

                            Less money order fees. They're probably making a couple hundred bucks at most.
