An industrial wood chipper (used in saw mills). The disc is 5' 6", holds 6 x 18" knives and can chip an 8' x 15" diametre log in about 1 to 2 seconds.
It is deadly as they come.
I have a stack of planer blades at home and even turned one into a rough machete
Lock them in the server room for a few days, maybe hypothermia?
Lock that fucker in the burnout oven and see how long they exist at 800°F (~426°C)
Outright? Probably not a much, but I could definitely yank some wires or disable some safeties that would do the job with a little encouragement.
I work at a bowling alley with a bar, so there’s quite a few ways.
- Hit them with a bowling ball.
- Beat them with a bumper stick.
- Make a Molotov cocktail.
- Use the knives in the kitchen to stab them.
Probably busbar running at 6 to 10,000 amps. DC power.

Doldrums
You could definitely kill a villain with my laptop, if you fired it with sufficient force from a cannon.
I have several 300 gallon mixers at work, and a QA lab. If the mixer won't do the job, I'll just pour acids in until it is reduced to soup.
Then I'm fleeing the country because maintenance will make the eldrich horror look like the easy choice.
I could bore him to death with Teams meetings.
I commute, so train?
Yes.
Most of my tools could - just a matter of how many swings it would take. Running them over with my work truck would probably be the quickest and chainsaw the messiest.
But which one would be the most satisfying?
Nail gun lobotomy? Or maybe that was my band name in the 00's. I don't remember for some reason.
Zip tying their hands behind their back and handing them over to the police, I guess.
Really big laser - meant for cutting through thick steel, could probably slice most monsters Bond-villain style.
If there's one thing I've learned from horror movies it's that unless you have some weird satanic ritual, nothing can stop the bad guy.
But also, I'm a janitor at McDonald's; I could probably slow them down with soapy water or even just leaving the floor oily. I doubt they wear non-slip shoes. Pull some Scooby Doo shit, slick up the floor, Jason comes after me and slides into the freezer, which I then lock.
I was a manager at our student union building in college, very occasionally I had to go to the back of the food court since I had the magic keys and all. The shear amount of oil coating the floor after mopping in the Sonic area made me never want fast food again. I had non slip shoes and it was still like walking on ice.
Does it necessarily need to be the tools of your specific job? You might not use the deep fryer in the execution of your personal duties, but it is at your job and, I imagine, could have an impact if you could get your opponent to it. (Perhaps even combining it with your previously mentioned strategy.)
I was just assuming the fryer or other actual weaponry (like knives) wouldn't do any lasting damage to the supernatural horror pursuing me. But Home Alone style mayhem would be fun. Incorporate the grills, the fryer, etc into a Rube Goldberg machine of pain.
You could Rorschach them with 🍟
Graphic Designer so maybe if it was a lawnmower man situation
I might be able to trick an AI into a paradox situation if I'm lucky, but that's all I got.
"If you only told lies how would let me know you believed it to be opposite day?"
I'm an auto mechanic, honestly like 80% of the things I touch every day could kill most things if applied properly.
Thinking about reach and convenience from my toolbox, I'm thinking the 5' steel prybar (effectively a 10 lb baseball bat with a sharp tip) or the cv axle I took out earlier. Honorable mention to one of a variety of possible chemical attacks or just straight up dropping a car on it.
Probably all the knives and the room full of people who spend 8 hours a day cutting things to bits with them. After a while, you get pretty good at finding where to cut through joints, so it doesn't take all that long.
I work from home...
Best I got is an old fashioned paper cutter that looked way too heavy duty.
Cue the scene from The Faculty where the bad boy twists off the blade of that thing.
100' fall into the middle of an arena.
I work as a concert high rigger.
The cardboard crusher probably, just have to tip them over the edge. Puts them nicely in 1.5x1.5x1m cubes
TPS report cover sheet.
I work with IT but in a meat processing plant, the giant saw that cuts pigs in half would certainly do it. Even though all of the slaughtering and butchering have been dismantled many years ago due to cutbacks, it would be a very good location for a horror movie or an augmented reality experience or something like that, it's almost like everyone just up and left.
The elevators that always breakdown. They were doing a repair today and knocked out power to the whole building.
My mind immediately goes to the resident evil movie elevator scene...
