LoL, awesome, how have I missed this.
I've been in 1 of 4 situations on each post (exact the same or very similar). Traffic lights screeches were my nightmare for a year after they were installed over the city.

Awesome collection of scientific incidents.
Please add an alt-text to each picture. It is possible to edit the toots after posting them.

@RustyBertrand ZOMG.

Is there a site collecting these, or...

Michael Busch

@faraiwe @RustyBertrand #FieldworkFail started with people sharing stories on Twitter, and later on other social media platforms.

Jim Jourdane illustrated a selection and published a book (with English, French, Portuguese, and German editions): amazon.com/Fieldwork-Fail-Mess

@michael_w_busch
You can also order the book from the editor's website: makisapa.com/collections/front
The author of the book created his own publishing company since then!

@RustyBertrand I donโ€™t have the spoons to write it rn, but how about alt text? #AltText4me

undead enby of the apocalypse

@RustyBertrand anyways, these are incredibly funny (which is why I think it would be great if blind people could also enjoy them)

undead enby of the apocalypse

@RustyBertrand my favorite is the crosswalk bat, but I also love the elephant blood explosion, the writing in elvish, and all those involving monkeys

@tivasyk yes; we know what the last role of toilet paper usually is!

#alt3 Accidentally pee on 2 Jaguar's marked tree. Get chased by the jaguar for 3 weeks, might sound exciting, actually quite scary.
