The night shift made my tool changer look 10 years older overnight

Came in Saturday morning and my Haas had tool changer crash marks all down the side that weren't there when I left Friday. Turns out the night guy forgot to seat a tool properly and it swung into the sheet metal. Anyone else come in to find evidence of the night shift's fun?

That phrase "evidence of the night shift's fun" gets me every time. I've walked into so many mornings finding weird stuff like that. It's not just machine shops either, I see this pattern everywhere in life. People who don't own the mess just don't care about the details. The night guy probably figured no one would notice or it wasn't his problem. But those little mistakes stack up and suddenly you're fixing someone else's mess at 6 AM. It's like a universal law of work, the less someone has to deal with the cleanup the sloppier they get.

My buddy Dave found a half-eaten sandwich wedged behind a CNC machine at 7am once. The bread was rock hard and there was a note taped to it that said "for lunch tomorrow." He had to clean it up because the maintenance guy already clocked out and the smell was starting to get bad by noon.

Man I taped a note to my own leftover pizza once and someone still threw it away.
