As a machinist a lathe is the first thing that comes to mind, you get some clothing or even a rope caught in the wrong place and it’ll eat you alive

    A germy child that sneezes on its face. Teaching is a constant state of protecting yourself from biological warfare.

    An industrial wood chipper (used in saw mills). The disc is 5’ 6", holds 6 x 18" knives and can chip an 8’ x 15" diametre log in about 1 to 2 seconds.

    It is deadly as they come.

      I have a stack of planer blades at home and even turned one into a rough machete

    I work at a bowling alley with a bar, so there’s quite a few ways.

    • Hit them with a bowling ball.
    • Beat them with a bumper stick.
    • Make a Molotov cocktail.
    • Use the knives in the kitchen to stab them.

    You could definitely kill a villain with my laptop, if you fired it with sufficient force from a cannon.

    I have several 300 gallon mixers at work, and a QA lab. If the mixer won’t do the job, I’ll just pour acids in until it is reduced to soup.

    Then I’m fleeing the country because maintenance will make the eldrich horror look like the easy choice.

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned from horror movies it’s that unless you have some weird satanic ritual, nothing can stop the bad guy.

    But also, I’m a janitor at McDonald’s; I could probably slow them down with soapy water or even just leaving the floor oily. I doubt they wear non-slip shoes. Pull some Scooby Doo shit, slick up the floor, Jason comes after me and slides into the freezer, which I then lock.

      Does it necessarily need to be the tools of your specific job? You might not use the deep fryer in the execution of your personal duties, but it is at your job and, I imagine, could have an impact if you could get your opponent to it. (Perhaps even combining it with your previously mentioned strategy.)

      • I was just assuming the fryer or other actual weaponry (like knives) wouldn’t do any lasting damage to the supernatural horror pursuing me. But Home Alone style mayhem would be fun. Incorporate the grills, the fryer, etc into a Rube Goldberg machine of pain.

      I was a manager at our student union building in college, very occasionally I had to go to the back of the food court since I had the magic keys and all. The shear amount of oil coating the floor after mopping in the Sonic area made me never want fast food again. I had non slip shoes and it was still like walking on ice.
