Things that shit me.- pulling up in your garage, getting out to notice a new ding and scratch from another motorist. Why do we have nice cars again?

People in the cue at the scanner at the airport. They wait till they get to the front of the cue to start taking their laptop out of their bag, and their wallet out etc.

Get your shit organised you morons and no it is not funny when you have to go through 4 times progressively taking off more and more jewellery because you are clearly wearing every bit of cheap jewellery you own.

Worst are the miners with their steep capped boots on, so they decide to sit on the floor and take them off at the scanner.

Thats why you need to do a public service and educate them on buying the boots with the easy on/off zip on the side

Some mines don't allow anything other than lace ups, Rio specifically do not allow composite toe - they must be steel.

I usually wear sneakers & put my boots in my carry on.

I don't know of any minesite or Oil & Gas site that still allow slip on boots.
I don't bother to do them up, just kick them off as I approach security.

Ok well all mine sites, oil rigs, and platforms I've been to have been fine with my Steel Blue lace up at front and with zip on the side for easy on off...also complete slip on boots are fine on barrow and rigs, and other platforms. It's actually preferable to have full slip on boots when on the drill floor depending on what you're doing, e.g. handling SBM.

https://www.steelblue.com.au/our-ran...on/argyle-zip/ -- With the Nitrile outsole option

and also
https://www.steelblue.com.au/our-ran...rd/torquay-eh/

Been fine for me.
