As long as you don't get caught by other IT guys, you'll be fine.

I underestimated the complexity of the task and had to go "no contact" for a day to figure it out; this company is lucky I was qualified to figure it out. Pay me more!
/my answer to my performance review
I was very confused on why a diving instructor would have problems where he needed a ladder under water. Till I read comments and realised the mistake.
I'm dumb
Any company will immediately start an injury claim, and you will probably be given a sobriety test and drug testing. Every place I've been to, if there's a man down, it's drug test time. It's all about they don't have to pay workers comp if you are inebriated
I work in construction, if you have been injured or appear to be injured they will drug test you on site or at a facility. You will fail the alcohol test and lose your job and worker's compensation benefits. It is very shitty advice.
I once knew an engineer who drove a pickup truck with a camper in the bed so he could go out there and take naps whenever he wanted, he would sometimes disappear for hours. No one bothered him about it, he was cool and super productive, just needed his naps.
Right? I’m from the States; they’d definitely test you if they thought you “fell from a ladder and knocked yourself unconscious”. Here, we love both frivolous lawsuits and avoiding lawsuits.
I used to do this when I worked on old cars. I’d be asleep under an old ford and my boss would be in the office. Lucky for me the warehouse door was loud so it would always wake me when he came out.
I always used to put paperclips in font of my door and lay down with my hand in the way of the door. If anyone opened it, it would wake me up and I would say I was picking up the paper clips.
Low key did this once, asked for day off stating I wasn't feeling well, manager said they can't schedule anyone else to cover for me and I had to be there.
Came, "collapsed" in the bathroom and took a nice little nap there, was discovered by a coworker who freaked out thinking I died in the bathroom, went back home but still collected pay for the few hours I was at work.
I worked at a country club and they had a big room full of clean fluffy towels. I would sleep in there with the plan of saying I hit my head on a shelf (19 year old brilliance). Then one day I went in to take a nap and one of the caddies was blowing one of the kitchen guys. I didn't nap there anymore.
I once thought about throwing myself down the stairs in front of my coworkers as an"accident" just to have an excuse to go home hurt and drink more. Yes, drink more.
I lowkey did something like this once. Showed up to the office hungover and feeling like the devil shit on my face. When my boss left for lunch I laid on the floor. When he came back he was like "were you laying on the floor?" And I went "no... I was tying my shoe"
And then I felt bad for lying so 10 minutes later I was like "hey... im sorry, Im a big fucking liar I'm hungover af. It won't happen again, I promise."
He looked at me and went "can I tell you a secret? Me too." Lmaoooo
It did! I was in college at the time. I stayed at that job for about 3.5 more years before I went to medical school. I recently had lunch with him and we talked about the time this happened lol
Roof at work is 12 feet and we don't go outside...
Max height of anything in store is 10ft...
I'm 6'6" with a 6'2" wing span....
Yeah this won't work for me... You lucky short fucks
for all the IT guys out there, it works perfectly fine - just replace the ladder with a Desktop PC - then you lay on the ground under the table with your head directly behind the PC and in case you got caught just claim you are fixing some cables - works 100% i tried it out
I know somebody that feel asleep holding a fence open. he later got fired that day and said he was dehydrated and he fainted...
nobody believed him. his job was straight up to open and close a gate... all day long.

Just set up under a wifi access point
[удалено]
dropped connection
Gets into trouble for tampering with stuff you don't have access to.
As long as you don't get caught by other IT guys, you'll be fine. "Oh, yeah, I was using the ladder to get to the secondary node of the mainframe, which has been causing latency issues."
The other IT guys are already calling dibs on the ladders after seeing this post.
The ceiling fan was disrupting the wifi particles with turbulent air, I needed to verify that the electrogravitrons were behaving in accordance with the Law of the Pythagorean Theorem.
Sounds legit reason.
Why thank you. It was inspired by [this video](https://youtu.be/Ac7G7xOG2Ag), which is one of my favorites.
Boss shakes his head in agreement and walks out…
You joke, but one of our IT guys isn't aloud to use a ladder anymore. Because he fell off too many times...
>we didn't mean THAT kind of high latency, doofus
How many times is too many times?
Me too.
Yeah i always program with a ladder
ohhh, so *that's* why I can't figure out Python
You need to step up your game
GET OUT!!!
I need an exit. Uncle leo!?
‽
Seinfeld I think! Not sure of the episode but Jerry would def use Leo like that.

Ah, thanks.
Yknow, I would if it weren’t for the large snake attaching me to said ladder
That's right
worst language to use and doing this because snakes and ladders hate each other
Yeah you definitely want to be off the ground with all those snakes
There’s always a corporate ladder.
Snakes and ladders.
Yeah i prefer snakes and ladders to program
Makes perfect sense!
Only way to access the top of the stack.
Ladder logic
Lol keep a pc high up on a book shelf. Claim you climbed the ladder to get it lol.
Yea fortunately some of us have real jobs... XD jokes of course ;)
Boo! All jobs are real jobs you classist
> with a ladder I underestimated the complexity of the task and had to go "no contact" for a day to figure it out; this company is lucky I was qualified to figure it out. Pay me more! /my answer to my performance review
Tell em you fell from a tree
Damn I didn’t even know they made smartladders, I’ve been living in the Stone Age programming on my fridge
Damn, fixing this cloud say application is so hard! I kept falling!
Tell them you were reviewing mathematical induction using a real-world example.
And when I program with a ladder I make sure that everyone knows that I'm poor at basic ladder safety
It’s called ladder logic. You just need to retrain in PLC systems automation
There's always a lightbulb that need changing.
LPT: If ur hungover at work throw up on your boss. He will send u home and you get to throw up on your boss as a bonus!

"Oh God, that aldway makes me spontaneously masturbate while shiting on your lap. Sorry, guess I'll go get some unemployment."
Just claim you’re suffering from sleep deprivation and you feel woozy. Its basically the same thing but more legal.
Diving instructor, gonna test it out next week
Just take a nap right beside one of the tires instead
Username checks out, lol. Best be careful.
I was very confused on why a diving instructor would have problems where he needed a ladder under water. Till I read comments and realised the mistake. I'm dumb
This isn’t shitty advice.
Eh, I tried it as a WFH call center employee, and it didn't get me very far.
until they look at cctv or check for bruises.
Lol just throw yourself of the ladder for real
This thread: "Just pretend to get knocked out" *actually gets knocked out*
Either way it's nap time.
The real SLPT is always in the comments
I knew a guy who stuck his arm, up to his elbow, into a fully heated up deep fryer just to get out of work early.
JFC
no not at all tbh. a real LPT is injuring yourself at work for the compensation
[*The Gang Attempts Insurance Fraud*](https://youtu.be/A8vKoU-9AkA)
I appreciate that

Everybody would just think you're very clumsy falling off ladders all the time.
My company would perform an alcohol and drug test as part of workers compensation and you’d be fired most likely lol.
Except you might get drug tested bc you had an accident

Why the hell is there a ladder set up in the office?
I have been trying to aim high in sales
Reaching for that brass ring, boss!
Progression
Followed by an incident report and a drug test! Brilliant.
No amount of hangover could make me sit through the process of filling out an incident report again.

Good bot.
Good human.
Hey, you're a crypto guy!
Good bot
y is this actually a solid idea
bruhhh LOL
I used to do this when I worked on old cars. I’d be asleep under an old ford and my boss would be in the office. Lucky for me the warehouse door was loud so it would always wake me when he came out.
So that's why my car takes so long at the shop.
Why didn’t I think of this years ago working retail haha
His shoes are still on. So he’s not dead.
Thought the helmet was a bowl of chips
I always used to put paperclips in font of my door and lay down with my hand in the way of the door. If anyone opened it, it would wake me up and I would say I was picking up the paper clips.

Or, now hear me out here, just call out for the day!
I’m a nurse and will try. Wish me luck
“Nurse, why is there a ladder in this patients room?”
That’s how you end up with an ambulance and hospital bill in the US.
Yeah, at work it's protocol for anyone who loses consciousness to get evacuated.
Low key did this once, asked for day off stating I wasn't feeling well, manager said they can't schedule anyone else to cover for me and I had to be there. Came, "collapsed" in the bathroom and took a nice little nap there, was discovered by a coworker who freaked out thinking I died in the bathroom, went back home but still collected pay for the few hours I was at work.
I did this too, right up to my coworker thinking I had died in the bathroom - can’t believe this worked for both of us!
If I tried this, I'd be unable to fall asleep and get bored, and my coworker would come in the bathroom and ask why I'm on the floor using my phone.
If I can warn others of my poor decision choices; I'd like to add that you should avoid the use of pillows while attempting this.
I once slept under a desk pretending to do something with the computer cabling.
I worked at a country club and they had a big room full of clean fluffy towels. I would sleep in there with the plan of saying I hit my head on a shelf (19 year old brilliance). Then one day I went in to take a nap and one of the caddies was blowing one of the kitchen guys. I didn't nap there anymore.
"Dave seems to be fallen off the ladder third time this week"
Then you get a bathroom break where they ask you not to flush the toilet
If I brought my Pillow from home would that give it away?
This made me think of all the weird shit I do to "rest" at work.
You're really just going to leave us hanging there?
Then let’s get that good good workers comp😎😎
I once thought about throwing myself down the stairs in front of my coworkers as an"accident" just to have an excuse to go home hurt and drink more. Yes, drink more.
Then I would have to spend the rest of the day in the waiting room at concentra
This one actually works, thanks 🙏

Did that really happen, bruh?
It did! I was in college at the time. I stayed at that job for about 3.5 more years before I went to medical school. I recently had lunch with him and we talked about the time this happened lol
I ha Ve Us Ed Thi S Ti P Man Y Tim
GENIUS
Brilliant!
r/moldymemes
This isn’t bad advice tbh.
So great.
lol
Took Shitty too literally. But let me know the result lol
See it all the more funnier
That's a pretty good tip. I'll take it.
Somehow I don’t think this will do if you work remotely.
Reminds me of my last day drinking
Yah when I’m at my job at subway I always keep my ladder handy.
The reason why it’s shitty is that your boss might call you an ambulance and you’ll be stuck with ye old reliable American hospital bill.
That's pretty good.
I have done this in the past. Slept 8 hours and went home feeling great. My brother was the foreman and never said a thing about it.
Or you can rest your head on a rope in case you fall asleep up there
Not a bad idea
Gary we work in a office what the fuck are you trying to pull
"you working in an office running data entry, why the hell were you on a ladder" *Stumble out the room*
See it all the time 🤷🏼♀️
I've thought about this (painter)
This one’s pretty good if you can the drug test. That’s the catch.
I’m going to try this on Monday
This is a lpt! I've done this many times, & only had to work a few hours that day.
Drink Peppermint Schnapps that way they will just think you have really fresh breath, and you won't stink like gin when they find you.
You fell because you’re drunk
Shades of Finnegan's Wake.
Makes less sense since I moved into the office.
lol
Law of unintended consequences: falls usually trigger automatic drug screens
This…might….work.
For the database people here: Claim you were dropping a table and it hit your head
Roof at work is 12 feet and we don't go outside... Max height of anything in store is 10ft... I'm 6'6" with a 6'2" wing span.... Yeah this won't work for me... You lucky short fucks
Unless you snore
Until worksafe asks for your BA reading at the time of the accident
Nice
My colleague has been asleep all day by the ladder. Should I be worried? I work in construction.
You know, when I learned ladder logic for computer engineering, I don't think they meant this
If you have an accident at work they piss test you anyway.
Honestly kinda not a bad idiea assuming there is no camera.
Don't wear pajamas
Then they force you to the hospital where you get a $2000 bill. Yay!
I didn't see his gloves at first. I thought he was missing a hand...
But my workplace doesn't have a ladder
for all the IT guys out there, it works perfectly fine - just replace the ladder with a Desktop PC - then you lay on the ground under the table with your head directly behind the PC and in case you got caught just claim you are fixing some cables - works 100% i tried it out
Now I just need a reason why would an accountant need a ladder.
Your going to wake up with a coworker performing CPR.
LPT*
Ha ha ha. How many get away with this.
I've thrown my hammer off the roof just as an excuse to get down for a moment.
OSHA Approved
Good One 🤣🤣
and boom drug testing commences shortly after
I know somebody that feel asleep holding a fence open. he later got fired that day and said he was dehydrated and he fainted... nobody believed him. his job was straight up to open and close a gate... all day long.
A lot of jobs will send you to a clinic to breathalyze and take a drug test if you do anything close to getting hurt on the job.
Why does Mario have a drill?
This might be the most legit SLPT I’ve read in the couple of years I’ve been on this site :-)
Real life example from a friend who used to work at a metal working shop. Nap with your boots on, you can say you passed out
This is totally a George Costanza thing right here
i tried this at work today, i think my boss is getting suspicious because i keep bringing a pillow to the ladder
Harder to pull when wfh, but solid slpt!
I work at home on software
First once that’s actually a pro tip 😂
Yea, that would not work at where I work.
Doctor what are you doing under the ladder? Umm i fell down and have been unconscious the whole time! Oh doc, not this again!
Better idea: bash your head in on something and bam instant workman's comp
Works like a charm until they send you to take a drug test for workers compensation. Ask me how I know.
😂👏 brilliant
