one of the cables for our lighting system broke (a student tripped on it??? somehow??? it attaches to the board so like how would your foot get caught???) and so, using a ladder and our tallest stage crew member (I am barely 5'4) we replaced it with a spare XLR and had to wrap it around a random hook so it didn't fall over.
During this whole process, a problem actor who only knows tech stuff from Googling random shit and looking at the first answer, was telling us it was a safety hazard. Yeah, I know, we do safety hazards every day. It was either this or have no lights.
