Yes, I also dislike the culture in which this can be called a funny story. Such culture will cause more incidents. Worked in a laser lab for 5 years without incident in a time when eye safety goggles were not used for visible light.
- ta988 2y agoSometimes a funny story is one that helps you remember about safety.
- ordu 2y agoYeah, emotions are a positive factor for a memories forming. Add some emotions to a fact, and it will be remembered better and for longer. Some things are remembered for life without any repetition, and mostly it happens for things that trigger your emotions.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 2y agoNo. That only says something about you, not “the culture”. It’s incredibly common to laugh at the absolute absurdity of a situation. It doesn’t mean that people are making light of it. It doesn’t mean that they don’t grok how serious it is. They just react differently to you.
- MeteorMarc 2y agoI agree there is more to it than yes/no making a joke of an incident. I associate it with a macho culture in which people do not feel safe to speak up in case of unsafe circumstances. Same for IT security.
