| 0:00.0 | What? You know what? Just to be safe, thing you did ended up saving your butt later. |
| 0:05.0 | I was an expediter at a restaurant. It was super busy and I was trying to get runners for food. |
| 0:10.0 | Was about to send out a stack of Dim Sum when I looked at the ticket again with a note that said, |
| 0:15.0 | no peanuts on the Tempura tofu. I had read it earlier and didn't sprinkle peanuts on it. |
| 0:20.0 | Another server was about to run it to |
| 0:21.8 | the table when I told him to wait and get the actual server for the table. We were slammed and he was |
| 0:26.7 | kind of mad, but he went and got him anyway. The actual server came back and he's all frustrated when I |

| 1:11.4 | I've been consistently asked at, like, every restaurant that I go to, do you have allergies |
| 1:15.9 | or anything like that? |
| 1:16.9 | So, you know, it's a good thing that people are looking out for it a lot more. |
| 1:19.9 | Safety glasses. |
| 1:20.9 | When working away, it's easy to talk yourself into doing something really quick without |
| 1:24.3 | them, and there is always a voice in your head yelling at you to put them on. Stoped grinding the thing I was working on, got my glasses, came back and then this chunk flies up and cracks the right lens. |
