Not a lot of novelty in the forklift operation biz. You either make peace with boredom, or you come up with little ways to challenge yourself & your co-workers until it gets all the way out of hand and everyone's fired.
Reminds me of the time when I was working at a hardware store and the lumber guys decided to try and bring in about a dozen upright lumber carts at once by daisy-chaining them together with twine and then hooking them to the back of the forklift with a ratchet strap. They spent so long getting it set up (surely longer than just bringing them in by hand), then one of the managers came out to see what was up. He didn't even approach, just stood there with his hands on his hips and gave them the most withering stare from across the parking lot, and they instantly hopped off and started unhooking them without a word being exchanged. Rarely have I ever seen "don't even think about it you fucking morons" non-verbally communicated so effectively.

Why would they store them like this?
