Watched a guy in Atlanta balance a 14-ton steel beam on a concrete block for 20 minutes while his partner ran to grab a coffee

I was up on a site near the Mercedes-Benz stadium last Tuesday and this operator had the touchiest load I've ever seen, just hovering there perfectly still while nobody was in the cab. Has anyone else had to hold a dead hang that long because someone forgot a blocking pad or something?

Bet the coffee run was just cover for a betting pool on how long he could hold it.

Gotta admit, I was that guy once. Walked into a work meeting with a full bladder because I thought I could tough it out, then spent the entire time doing the pee-pee dance under the conference table. My coworkers probably had a running bet on whether I'd make it to the break room in time or not. Spoiler alert: I didn't. Learned my lesson, now I just carry an empty water bottle everywhere just in case, lol.
