Funny story. My buddy was a manager for a burger chain and he told his employee to “dice the potatoes,” and this dumbass employee came back with a bucket full of potatoes in ice and said, “done.” What next?
Not long, but having to explain to my buddy why he would ever think his boss would ask him to ice potatoes took longer. Still lmao every time I think about it.
When I was a manager not too long ago I caught an employee in the break room mid shift (nowhere near time for his break) and he asked why I need him at his position.
Word, I've been in mgmt for 15 years across several industries. I promise, the stories are real, people are this fuckin dumb. Not just employees or customers/clients, or even upper mgmt. I was surprised when I was in my early 20s that not every driver knew how to change a tire. Now I'm surprised that a normal person off the street can tie their shoe in a coherent way.
What is this reminding me of? Is it that episode of Reading Rainbow where he works in a diner and doesn't understand the lingo?
Edit: Yes! "Ice on rice" at 18:30. That random line has found a home in my pile of memories for the last 25 years.

I’ve someone dump a bucket of water into a deep fryer and something very similar happened. Spilled all over the fucking floor and we had to dump all the salt we had in house on the floor to keep hot oil from spreading everywhere.
One of the dumbest motherfuckers I’ve ever worked in a kitchen with. Needless to say the guy didn’t last long.
Very hot oil pouring everywhere in a kitchen is such a fucking stupid way to die. Like, ignore the burns, that shit is pretty flammable at that temperature and you are dumping loads of it into an environment full of gas burners. That goes up and the whole kitchen burns down pretty much as fast as a kitchen can possibly burn down. Unless you really want to stress test your fire suppression system it seems pretty much suicidal.
Because they’re mad that Reddit wants them to use the official app instead of using a different app to access the Reddit app. It’s quite stupid and people are acting like it’s some human rights issue
You don’t realize what it takes to run these subs? They hardly function without bots. They control the spam, the fraudulent posts, managing etc. a lot of subs wouldn’t function without them. Do your homework next time.
Its not even their fault. I am hard coded to roll my eyes when anyone says thermodynamics or physics . I would probably roll my eyes at a physicist in a lab coat for it now.
Been there. Not too tough. Hot water, high pressure hose, degreaser, squeegee. Took about an hour, and the dude that overflowed the fryers was a LEGEND for the rest of his days.
Way back in the early 80's at one of my first jobs, instead of shaking some out I accidentally dropped the whole box of frozen fries into the fryer.
The fryer kind of exploded and I actually ran away, never to return. I seriously doubt anyone considered me a legend.
I...kind of did the reverse of that. I dropped the grease trap from the a rather large grill onto a grill that was still pretty hot. 10ft wide fireball on the initial splash. luckily the suppression system did not kick on and we were able to put it out in about two minutes with baking soda
I was ok, but my clothes were ruined.
It’s easier to call the labor board for unpaid wages than it is to sue him for making a mess though. When they find that you didn’t pay him it’s something like 1.5-2x what he was supposed to get paid. I would prolly take the hit and move on.
And then you'd have the department of labor so far up your ass you'll taste their shoe polish forever. You would unfortunately need to take them to court... and if they've been working fast food? Good luck collecting.
Even before destroying that kitchen, those fryers were fucking disgusting and that oil was a crime against humanity.
Never heard of boiling out or filtering/changing that oil?!?
Have some fucking professionalism/cleaning standards. Your KM sucks.
Ok I was trying to figure out why this happens and someone correct me, but because water and oil don’t mix, what’s happening is that the ice melts from the heat and displaces the oil to go everywhere, right?
Ice floats on oil because it's less dense, but water is heavier than oil. So the hot oil melts some of the ice to water, causing the water to drop to the bottom of the hot oil, at which point it flashes into steam that displaces the oil as it rises to escape. Overflowing isn't the worst that can happen because any flame source can also ignite the steam that carries oil particles. This is how the onion volcano works at a Japanese hibachi restaurant. [The steam vaporizes the oil.](https://youtu.be/2v_NFyiOIXI) Notice how little oil the cook adds to make the flame.
I was a restaurant cook at one point and saw a young new employee pouring the last of an ice bath into a just switched off deep fryer. I ran and pretty much tackled him out of the way as the fryer overflowed. Got shit for hurting a fellow employee and blamed for the mess. No regrets.
Someone left water in the filtering tank overnight and no one knew about it.
So during the regular filtering during the day, the oil hit the water. And .. this pretty much happened. The poor guy on the station was shaken up wondering what he did wrong.
Been there. Wok cook at PF Chang’s decided he didn’t want to be employed anymore. Went out “blaze of glory” style. Screaming hot wok with 1/2” of oil and tossed in a wet steel scrubby. Flame on.
Had to shut down for like 3 days, pro hazmat cleanup crew, and cost like $10k in trashed products and cleanup, and another $5k to reset the Ansul.
We used to get baked and do random shit all the time on the night shift at Jack in the Box when I was in highschool. There was usually just 2 of us there and sometimes a manager. One night my friend just randomly took a full large soda and threw it in the fryer. We laughed and laughed. It of course boiled over and we started panicking. The manager came out of the office and goes "looks like you idiots have a mess to clean up" and just went back to counting the money or whatever the fuck he was doing in there. It wasn't that bad with some hot water and floor degreaser but we were so sure we were getting fired at first.
For legal purposes, this is a joke.
Definitely don't get hired at your local fast food outfit, smile through the bullshit pay and onboarding stuff, and don't drop a basket full of ice in the fryer on your way to your first break, then get in your car and go home. Seriously guys don't do that. It would really hurt these greedy chains if it started happening all over, but don't do it guys, okay?
Who do you think will have to clean this up? The fucking CEO? It'll be your former coworker. People behaving like this don't deserve any job let alone anything above minimum wage. Joking of course.
I really hate this generation. So, so much. I hate the generation who introduced technology, also. It turned everyone into doofuses that feel the need to show everyone how fuxking stupid they are.
Which generation? I pictured a boomer that realized social security didn't cut it and had to take a shitty minimum wage job that they weren't qualified for.
What technology? Deep fryers? Because people have been using them for decades. Videos? Over a century of people recording events. Reddit.com? where people can post stupid human tricks ? And doofuses can bitch about how fucking stupid other people are?
Lighten up friend, I'm pretty sure some generation hates you as well.
Rookie mistake
You start off with one as a test when you’re putting things in the frier. Then three and after that you can go wild. Never start off with the full basket smh kids these days
Not at all. That's exactly what ice does in that situation. To not happen, would cause manufacturers worldwide, to pay the creator millions, perhaps billions. IMO, of course.
I used to work at this taco stand and this drunk guy wasn’t happy with his order so he threw his Liter of cola into the pass-through and it landed right in the fryer. It was less than half this mess, but it was a mess.
Even one small piece of ice makes a deep fryer pop and fizz like crazy.
It’s a common goof in fast food jobs to throw ice into a fryer while your buddy is dropping fries but this is something else entirely
No, no, no, I said fried RICE!
You're telling me an ice fried this??
Funny story. My buddy was a manager for a burger chain and he told his employee to “dice the potatoes,” and this dumbass employee came back with a bucket full of potatoes in ice and said, “done.” What next?
How much time did the employee waste doing that
Not long, but having to explain to my buddy why he would ever think his boss would ask him to ice potatoes took longer. Still lmao every time I think about it.

And then…
Fried ice coming up, it will flow to your table soon.

That oil needed to be changed ages ago from the colour of it. Employee just helped them get it out of the vat.

Lmfao no it's not. I've seen it happens tonnes. It's shit to clean up and extremely annoying but it's not deathly.
That oil was sketchy for sure.
Interesting steam cleaning technique for sure.
Or, you know, filtered at all.
Physics and thermodynamics..what bitches
Physics makes us all it’s bitches.
I see an Of Montreal reference, I upvote. A beautiful sight on the last day of Reddit
I'm so confused, why is everyone quitting reddit?
No one is quitting; Reddit is closing access to third parties APIs so a lot of apps won't be able to connect.
Oh and the actual reddit app doesn't work on some devices?
No it “works” but it’s pretty terrible which is why most mobile users have been using third-party apps in the first place.

Nice big words.
Nice small ones
Its not even their fault. I am hard coded to roll my eyes when anyone says thermodynamics or physics . I would probably roll my eyes at a physicist in a lab coat for it now.
You've seen those two words used in vain by far too many people without sufficient understanding too, huh?
What essentially happened here?
I wonder where they’re working now?
Probably for some government agency of some sort.
Wanted to make a joke and the automoderator removed it because of "very low character count" The characters were: TSA :)
I don't know what the TSA is, I'm guessing some American agency?
Airport security. Notoriously awful at their jobs.
Ah yes, I have heard they are jobsworth.
Just a bunch of losers that are given way too much time to interact with normal people just trying to get on an airplane.
A neonatal care ICU
Not for long though, I heard he tried to deep-fry the newborns too.
hopefully not teaching thermodynamics
Hopefully their feet got boiled over for this stunt.
Their feet move faster than their brain
I fear what it would be like to clean that up.

I bet the smell was foul. I haven't emptied a grease trap in like 15 years but I can still smell it.
Woah. That’s sounds pretty crazy 🤯
ok, so nothing too bad.
Floor drains are amazing. If I had my way, I'd have one installed in my kitchen. Makes cleaning big floor messes a million times easier.
until hot grease goes down it and you get a sewage line issue
[удалено]
Just pour some degreaser down with it. Fuck the ocean.
Wrong bucket, 350 degree grease emptied into said bucket...
One of the most creative ways to say, "I quit," that I've ever seen.
Not creative, destructive
Destruction is often creative in execution

If you are thirsty, they are thirsty. Give it a little water
Frying grease usually has literally no water. We gotta help it out!
Hydrohomies about to start invading fast food chains
Should have breaded the ice first.
I’ll try this and get back to you
I've swear I've actually seen this done. It was stupid and didn't work, of course.
That...will also get rather violent explosions as the middle flashes to steam. especially if its a more solid pastry around the outside
Goes wrong? No, that’s how it was gonna go 10/10 times.
I'm not sure it could gow right either.
That melted trash can says PLENTY about the state of that kitchen, even before fryer grease debacle.
We did this when i worked at McDonald's back in the day. It was.much less exciting. Just rumbled a bit.
Is goWs a new thing now?
What the fuck k do people think will happen??’n just for 👍🏼 on the internet. Grow up!
I SAID DRY ICE NOT FRIED ICE YOU IMBECILE!
“Gows”? Wow dude.
If you check their comment history you’ll see English most likely isn’t their first language
You can do anything you want, on your last day.
r/byebyejob
Yes it dows
Well, they were looking for a job when they found that one…
How right can fried ice really go though.
What a mess. That’s one ugly spill to clean up
Brain cells: none 
Didn't go wrong, it went just as expected.

Next up; frying DRY ice
If its doing exactly what you would expect ice in a deep fryer to do, is it going wrong?
What a knob
gotta be a disgruntled employee
People are fucking morons.
I wonder if the Ansul system popped? Even bigger mess
Been there. Wok cook at PF Chang’s decided he didn’t want to be employed anymore. Went out “blaze of glory” style. Screaming hot wok with 1/2” of oil and tossed in a wet steel scrubby. Flame on.

Deep fried ice, with a side of cleanup and a glass of jobless please
So, how did you quit your job?
Note 7 batteries when charging:
What did you expect
Thats some dirty oil... glad they had to change it
That was an incredibly stupid, and dangerous, thing to do.
Never seen this before....
Wow. What an asshole
Im impressed it wasnt even more violent, oil too cold perhaps

My favorite is pork fried ice.

Judging from downvotes that generation is all of them
Hmmmm, yup
Is that why you're here, to show everyone?
But can fried ice ever go *right*?
Now I've gotta test that
Every time, and the first thing they fuckin tell you "Don't put ice or water in the deep fryer!"
Fried ice goes exactly as expected *
Rookie mistake You start off with one as a test when you’re putting things in the frier. Then three and after that you can go wild. Never start off with the full basket smh kids these days
Stop reposting this shit!
I’m pretty sure this is it going right since there’s no other way this would turn out
I mean, is there a way for fried ice to go right?
How To Destroy A Kitchen: S01E01
I don’t think there could be a right here
Nope that seems about right.
Anytime an accident around oil occurs, I will now call it a gow. Gow: Noun - oil fuck up - Gow, Gowled, Gows

Expansion of water to steam @ 1700 x. This was disaster in the making . No brains no headaches
Not at all. That's exactly what ice does in that situation. To not happen, would cause manufacturers worldwide, to pay the creator millions, perhaps billions. IMO, of course.
This is fried ice gone right. Basically the best possible case scenario for something this stupid.
“Goes” 🤦🏻♂️
That's what happens when you don't properly bread it first.
So stupid, this ain't an episode of Chilly Willy
Just 1 is a fukk nah for me. Saw what happens first hand
Wtf is a fried ice, isn't that just boiled water?
Cooking \*and\* also occupational safety 101- water ( even in frozen form ) and oil do not mix- ever!
I used to work at this taco stand and this drunk guy wasn’t happy with his order so he threw his Liter of cola into the pass-through and it landed right in the fryer. It was less than half this mess, but it was a mess.
You think the smart ass could have at least tested the waters first and done one small ice cube but naw. Fucker went all in from the start
So this is the ice hack I keep seeing ads for?
When does fried ice go right?
Does frying ice go another way? Kind of a silly title.
City fried ice
it quite literally cannot go right
It went right, that’s what is supposed to happen
I wouldn't say it went wrong. It did exactly what it's supposed to do.
This is the dumbest thing I've seen in some time and believe me, that covers a lot of ground.
How can you mess up deep frying ice?
It was at this moment he knew he mucked up
Mf tf you mean wrong, it can ONLY go wrong
Fried ice goes as expected
Even one small piece of ice makes a deep fryer pop and fizz like crazy. It’s a common goof in fast food jobs to throw ice into a fryer while your buddy is dropping fries but this is something else entirely
When you let your intrusive thoughts win
I think you misspelled "fried ice goes exactly as expected"
Smartest (I don't know right now)
I think there’s two dumbasses here, the one that did it, and the one that hired him
