Idiots you have worked with

Agree Middy, my example was after I had given strict instructions and explanations as to why, your experience was an accident, mine was wanton disregard of instructions, which resulted in Matey getting the Spanish Archer. He had dome stupid things prior to this incident. Thought he knew it all.

i dont even turn off peoples socket outlets without asking if they have a pc running lol

had a bit of a delboy and rodney moment with one of the older guys i worked with, removing a chandelier above a staircase

after we set up the scaffold he went up to "test the weight" of the chandy, he lifted it right off the hook and almost fell right off the scaffold , clearly a 2 man chandy but he was bald , so i dont know if that has anything to do with his choices

and to go slightly off topic, for those of you who do have a follicle deficiency on your head, i suggest trying regane for men, a hairdresser done god knows what to my head but a small patch of my head wouldnt grow hair for a year, till i got some regane on there, it took a while but hairs actually re-grew!

wanna know whats worse than being bald? being bald on only a small portion of your head LOL

Fair time back now but asked one of the lads to check a box of BS88 fuses to find a 63A which had not blown and when he hands me one it is duff. He insisted it was good so I got him to show me how he checked it, he placed it on some steel trunking and said see it is good.

i came out of the wholesalers once with a bunch of stuff in my hands, popped the rcd on the roof, put big box in the van, jumped in the van and drove to the job that needed the rcd, went to look for the rcd, then it hit me, its probably somewhere on the road between the wholesaler and where i was currently

ive driven around all day with my snips on the roof of my van and only found them at the end of the day, had a tin of half full irn bru stay on the roof aswell from the wholesaler to a job

i had to make a rule after the rcd one though, NO MATERIALS ON THE ROOF lol

I was on call out during Xmas, I was sent to a house that had no hot water. It was a plumbers job really as it was boiler fed. The young lady with two children was stressed as the appointment for the heating engineer was a week in January. So I tried my luck and bypassed the thermostat and to which the boiler kicked in the heat water. So I gave her some hot water and put everything back to place as it is dangerous to leave thermostat bypassed. I explained that I could not do anything permanent and she just had to wait. After new year I was sent to the offices and got fired because the lady, or her partner, bypassed it again after I had left and told the heating engineer I did it.

I worked with a bloke years ago who thought that placing a level on a flourescent fitting on the ceiling would help getting it parallel with the room, and also that if you swapped the two wires round in a one way switch it would then be upside down in operation. And he was the boss !!
