I used to ramp for UPS in Seattle, also loaded cargo planes in Puerto Rico for a short stint.

Had a cargo dolly detatch from my tug and go hurtling towards the plane, had to drive the tug in front and let it slam into me.

Was passenger in a tug pulling up to the plane and a container half rolled off the dolly and just missed the engine somehow.

Got told to quit working by the Secret Service because Al Gore was at the next terminal.

Got to watch the Supersonics board their private jet from the tarmac.

Got to see one of the biggest planes, a huge Russian one, forget which.

All kinds of military planes, C-17, AWAX, etc.

Paul Allan’s private 757? was in the next hangar over.

Got to see the Blue Angels take off in formation from the tarmac which was probably the coolest thing. Very loud and powerful.

Our tugs had a sweet spot in the accelerator that would bypass the governor, you could get up to 25 maybe.

Also used to apply light pressure to the brake and use the gas to hop the front wheels off the ground like hydraulics

Also if it was wet and you had a 4 or 5 train of dollies you could whip the back around and drift the end of the train.

I was a 24hr HAZMAT responder years ago. Got a call one night to the University for an unknown yellow liquid leaking from the wall which just happened to be in the cadaver room.

A room full of bodies on gurneys or tables covered in sheets that appeared to be . . . . . shorter than normal.

That’s right, off with their heads!!!!

These were ostensibly being used to train medical students of course, while the rest I assume winds up in the head shop. Ba dum tss.

(Liquid ended up being a leaky fire supression water pipe with rust inhibitor in it)

Throw my hat in the ring. The clumping issue is definitely the primary annoyance of using this otherwise great product.
