I let the end of a roll of bubble wrap drape down to floor level. It happens fairly often, as my office / lab is quite small, especially with a new roll as they are quite large. What harm can this do? Well, when testing a power supply, and you then roll your chair over the end of the bubble wrap, the rapid and loud popping noise becomes a problem. Including thinking the PSU has decided to let go in a big way, rushing to turn it off, causing more popping noises as the chair rolls back along the bench to show the power off. I'll just say my language was 'fragrant'. |

Next you'll be telling us that we can't burst a crisp packet when someone is powering on a very expensive piece of equipment. |

One of my fellow graduate students had the bad habit of cracking his knuckles when we were taking up high voltage equipment. |
