How's this for bad...
Years ago I worked in a welding shop that had 5 Miller 330A/BP TIG welders... 2 on stainless steel and 3 on aluminum. Anyone familiar with these welders know that they have high frequency startup to trigger the arc without "striking".
Anyway, these welders would completely screw up the phone system, despite the fact that the nearest phone station was 30 feet away behind a wall inside the office. It was determined that this phone was feeding interference back into the phone system and shutting it down because when we unplugged it the problem went away.
Solution? Mount a 3' x 3' sheet of LEAD to the wall and then bolt the phone to the sheet. This way every time you made a phone call you could get your daily recommended dose of lead.
Just as concerning, if the high frequency from the welder could disrupt a phone, I wonder what it could actually do to the body. I know the one guy I worked with died from cancer at 52 and he'd been welding his whole life. Of course I'm sure smoking didn't help, but it makes you wonder.

Windows™ Vista and Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$! 
Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying! 
Windows™ 11 is garbage!
