A little obstacle like a wood chip on the ground will jam up the pallet jack and stop it from moving

If you’re in a warehouse where everything is on a pallet, they’re everywhere.

Manual forklift is a godsend for moving heavy stuff.

Small wood chip will render it immobile

If this were !lotrmemes@midwest.social, the pallet jack would be the balrog, and the wood chip would be Gandalf.

I’m pissed it took me a few seconds to ‘get’ this.

How do I reapply?

I don’t get it. Unless it’s talking about how hard it is to eat fries with a fork?

It’s a wood chip, not a fry chip. Even the smallest of bumps is enough to cause a pallet jack to grind to a stop. Instead of rolling over the “obstacle”, the things are heavy enough and the wheels are small enough that they just can’t, so they stop. Then you have to back it up and kick whatever dust speck it hit out of the way before continuing.
