Well today at work it came to light that I made a big mistake working out the schools delegated budgets for property insurance. To the tune of £41k!!

In all fairness in it's just 0.0396% of the overall budget but fook me it's made me shit myself!! Never made a mistake before and I'm a bit of a perfectionist so this has rocked me and totally made me question my judgement!!

What's your worst mistake?

 

Probably deciding to go against a couple of *fairly* major company processes, resulting in me getting fired

 

blowing a hole in a £7k chandelier

 

turning up would be my biggest mistake

 

Going back there....

 

a customer shiftied £400 off me once, paid his deposit, gave recipt then went to lok at otehr stuff, forgot about cash and paperwork 20 mins down road i remembered, went back too late hes gone out moneys gone as is my paperwork

cunt! i got a week off work paid while they decided my fate best mistake i ever had, the weather was fuckin mint that week

 

Boring a hole from a shop to owners flat above for a cable, got my angles wrong lets just say!

Hit a water pipe inside a wall in flat, flooded shop, done electrics in due to water!! wrecked the place proper, and and done a bit of the flat mostly stairs/carpet up there and alot of a wall where pipe lived!! my apprenticship wasnt long up and was out doing jobs myself! was a disaster, worst day of my life I think to this day we couldnt shut water off so ordeal continued for 3o minutes of flowing dirty water

 

For our FY09 I was short €120k in rebates from vendors, im still trying to fix it now (our years end in June)

 

think the worst one i ever did was
went in the morning , got my stuff ready to be delivered, but i didn't have time to deliver it all due to having to go into hull so left all this stuff at my mates to deliver later on, then when i delivered it all got home and the boss had been round to my house personally and apparently asking where the stuff was etc and every one had rang up complaining he wasn't to pleased lol!

 

ive had a couple of water incidents to,

drilled through a MASSIVE water tank at a factory with a 35mm bit and knocked a stop tap off in someones kitchen and they couldnt find it in road for 15 mins

 

My biggest mistake was waiting till i was 61 to retire from work, should have done it at 55.

 

I had sex with my bosses daughter

 

went to the wrong building on a op once. how much of a tit did i look

 

At least I'm not alone

 

that makes you a legend its not a mistake

 

pics pics pics

 

Probably Dusting a £100k engine ..

No biggy really as it was Houred out anyway .. Didnt affect the Core .

 

After doing a refresher course for COSHH, then dropping 1200L of A185 (de-rusting acid) all over the factory floor, while management were on a surprise walkabout, I also got a week off, paid! Was great, sunny weather and I still kept my job!

 

Machined 500 aerospace parts. 470 parts from one batch of material and 30 from another batch of material. I mixed both batches together. Although the parts were identical and machined correct, because they were aerospace parts full traceability of material is needed so all the parts had to be thrown

 

cheers mate!

 

I'll find her facebook profile mate in a bit lol

 

£240000 went missing i did find it though. also dropped 5k down the back of a bench one day and no one noticed for a few months

 

Years ago on nightshift, i was moving a few pallets of parts around on a forklift, my pal shouted to me across the warehouse, looked over at him to see what he wanted, not realising how close i was to the shutters, drove the forklift straight into the shutters, bent them, and launched thousands of little parts off the pallets and all over the place. needless to say, the gaffer wasnt to happy when he came in at 6am, especially as i dont have a fork lift licence

 

i lost a sentimental gold ring for a customer that had been passed down in the family from her mother , everytime i see them i feel so sorry , really nice people too.

 

Quality

 

The money stuff really doesn't bother me, as its just figures to me but having to throw away all those perfect parts makes me cringe! Gutted!

(I'm a Project Engineer btw)

 

knocking my boss out lol.

a mate of mine was be picked on by one of his boss's, the boss kept going
into his lunch box and eating all his food thinking he was realy funny, that
was until he made himself a realy special dope cake that had a hand full of
valiums crushed up in the iceing aswell, he took it to work and waited for his
boss to nick it, to say he had a shock after eating it would be an understatement
as the silly cunt nearly died lol.

 

'down the back of the bench'... Giving it the old 'hide it, if no one notices, take it' routine Jess?

 

i didnt notice id dropped it but now i know i can get away with that it is a bit tempting

 

when i was an apprentise at peugeot and not long passed my driving test i was putting a car on the 2 poster and decided it wasnt straight enough so started to reverse it off again and caught the sice of the bumper on a ramp leg and ripped the thing clean off wosrt bit was it was the last job on day b4 christmas eve and we were shutting for a few days lol learnt from that one tho

 

Only one ive not been able to hide/blag was taking out a network for a few hours due to a cross wired POE cat 5 cable

Good thread by the way

 

Can't really think at the min but a funny one was on the way back from picking a customers car up out in the sticks i when over a little hump back bridge (too fast) in the works van to find out when i was in the air there was a shape right after the bridge i bent the front valance and pushed one wing out a little opp's.

 

My first day on a fork lift in a fish factory i hit a roller door when it was up, it fell to the the ground.The boss stickes his head out the office window and laughs and says "off that fork lift you".

 

Put a car on a two poster lift, started to lift the ramp and realised id forgot to put the legs under the opposite side to what I was stood on, thing was the door was open and now at a right angle were the legs had bent it up lol.

 

Not me but one of my colleagues was working in a data centre in one of the big financial institutions in London. The data centre had electronic entry on the doors. When he came to leave after his first day he had to phone someone to leave, they told him to hit the button near the door. "What, the red one?" "Yup, the red one" came the reply. To which he hit some sort of fire alarm which set off the halon and then shut down the whole data centre.

 

threw my old boss over his desc and through his computer

he did deserve it though

 

usedta work as a bartender got licked on the job every time i worked one time though the boss was sitting and watching me chat up a hot daughter and her mum [they were sitting in the restaurant bit while the birds' dad was sitting there next to them my boss when we were closed sat me down and was like this is ur official warning u fuck around again and ur fired loll...i still got licked loads there tho! and my manager usedta drop me home he was the nicest guy usedta pour me some nextt funky drinks

that restaurant went bust so im laughingggg at him muhahaha!

 

put a berlingo van on old 3 post ramp at work years ago (3 posts and a central bed that lifts on sills not the best ramp lol) took engine and box out then sent it up about 5 foot for it to fall backwards off the ramp and crush the back doors and kinked the roof i really wish id looked in the back first as it was loaded to the roof with tools, scaffold and other heavy items! whooops
