Caption for all of these: “What could possibly go wrong?”
Hard to say which of these pix is the most cringe-inducing. I’ve seen before, and always liked, the two guys standing on the horizontal ladder while a third fiddles with the air conditioner. But I think you saved the best (or, worst) for last!

honestly, some of these look a little bit practical. Particularly the ones with the step ladder in the first and second…. I wouldn’t do that, but it seems workable.
also the one with the guy holding the ladder #9, looks nutty and there should be another way, but I have witnessed such acrobatics.
The air conditioner one looks nuts but not shocking.
All of these are crazy
