Can You Imagine?

Man in Porta-Potty taken for ride on fork lift

From CBS News:

RICHLAND, Wash. - A Hanford worker was taken for a ride in a portable toilet when it was picked up by a fork lift driver who didn't realize it was occupied.

The Tri-City Herald reports the passenger was not injured in a 15-foot move earlier this month across a gravel road. The driver heard the man yelling inside and let him out.

Washington Closure Hanford spokesman Todd Nelson says it's a reminder for workers to follow procedures and double-check.

The fork lift operator had looked at the door and thought the occupancy indicator showed that no one was inside.

If I was the person locked inside, I would have been so mad!  What about you?
