Only thing that’s surprising about this on an Aussie mine site is that the word used doesn’t start with “cu…”
Cuck.

Pretty sure that’s an Australian LOTO tag made by AAA printing. Which means it definitely says “cock”. Only thing that’s surprising about this on an Aussie mine site is that the word used doesn’t start with “cu…”
For additional evidence look at previous L and Cs written on the tag. Def Cs.
My guess is that someone either went to repair it and couldn’t find the issue so this additional helpful tag was added. Or similarly maybe a muppet thought it was still ok to use and again, this helpful tag was added for reinforcement.

What did you just call me?
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
In Australia, basically “mate”
Now if I called you “mate”…

As an Aussie, I can confirm that this looks like a tag an Aussie would write.

nah, my bet is that’s a machine that’s like visibly exploded to pieces. some manager walked by and reprimanded them for not tagging the broken gear. writer of tag argued back that “it’s obviously fucked, i mean look at it. have a think about it for a second”. manager said it doesn’t matter, protocol. tag writer writes sarcastic tag.

This sounds exactly Aussie enough to be true

I’m imagining obvious fire damage and a chalk outline of intern Redshirt in front of the machine…

you know, i bet it’s literally missing its primary control surface

Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if someone did try to use it, but also don’t see why anyone would think a little red tag would prevent such a person from trying anyway.

I like your take way better than mine, I think that’s exactly what happened! Still reckon it’s an Aussie ;)

haha, no doubt. i may not be Australian, but i have written similar snarky reports before lol. after a certain point you’re choosing between 5 hours of overtime to write a report, or writing something like “event was fucked, station did not coordinate, check initial documents”
