While on an old steam cruiser in the late 80s we were getting a radar room prepped for the new SPS-48E. One night we were using extra-duty guys to needle-gun the space; our FC Chief showed them the only thing not to touch - the waveguide that ran through the length of space in the overhead. He pointed out the warning stickers that had ‘Do Not Strike’ in big red letters every two feet.
The next morning the whole space had been needle-gunned, including the waveguide. The only spots that hadn’t been touched were the little warning stickers. We never used extra-duty folks for anything after that.

LOL, that’s too funny, all around the warning stickers!

Kind of reminds me of the time I was tasked with maintaining the coffee mess in our shop, and I protested because I wasn’t a coffee drinker, but they made me do it anyway.

So, I kept it neat and clean, and that involved cleaning the cups with aircraft cleaner. Clean as a whistle, they were.

Taste wasn’t an issue, because I did wash them thoroughly with detergent after that, but...they were upset, because some of them liked the coffee scum in the cups!

They didn’t make me do the coffee mess anymore after that!
