I didn't run full into it, but I did puncture whatever the hell it was with the prongs. My supervisor was literally running behind me and screaming for me to stop. It was fun though. We were told to honk the horn if we were backing up and there was someone behind us, and when I started there was a guy RIGHT behind me, bent over and oblivious to me. So I laid on the horn hard and he literally jumped into the air and skipped a few feet away in semi-panic. A laugh was had by all and I was silently declared an idiot.

Such an accurate assessment, so early in your life. I'm impressed.

I've never been certified but I've heard the process is pretty easy, I just bugged my uncle to show me how to do it and then kind of learned along the way. One of the older forklift drivers taught me how to split packs of lumber with the forks so I didn't have to get out and load a bunch onto my forks, but outside of that most of the training I got was through trial and error. I never fucked up badly enough to be pulled off of one.

I have to imagine driving a forklift in a warehouse is a bit of a different experience, as you have to be much more aware of your immediate surroundings and blind corners and whatnot. Both of the lumberyards I've worked in had warehouses, but we had smaller forklifts that worked better in those constrained areas that it was never a problem.

I guess the point I'm getting at is that I'm a better forklift driver than you.

I'm sure you are. Forklift turning radiuses are insane, but the lanes were ****ing narrow as **** as far as vehicles are concerned, and with no driving experience whatsoever it was just bad. Really bad. I did manage to actually maneuver around moderately well all things considered for a pleb of my experience, but... yeah. They never let me on one again and it was probably for the best.
