err doing a complete new buid, no site toilet, and in need of toilet desperately!! Boss disappeared, doon with the trolleys and released the bats into a bucket... down the ladder towards the front door to jettison aforesaid mentioned down a manhole, when in pops next door neighbour with a "you deserve a brew" routine:yikes:, "hmmm thanks" I say, "but, boss has left this here, and I really want to get rid of it!", Never got offered another brew

Had a bit of a dicky tummy, went to use the toilet next to a utility room in a house I was working.

Checked the toilet had an expelair, turned it on and done what was neccessary, came out and realised the expelair was blowing out into the utility room.

About ten minutes later could hear the sound of a air freshener being blasted every where and the owner coughing to hide the sound of the air freshener sound.

Just wanted to climb under a tile and die

Following the offensive odours theme, I better get in quick before Wivers dominates this thread.

I'd been working away in customers bathroom for majority of the day and mid afternoon felt the need to drop my guts. I figured that as the customer had not been up to offer a cuppa all day I would be fine. Two minutes later customer appears at the doorway offering a cuppa :mad2:.

"I think I need to re-cover the soil pipe, there's a nasty smell been coming out all day", I says. Didn't get offered a cuppa for the rest of the job - doh!

Did a job where parking was a nightmare - Couldn't park on the road so had to drive down a long, very narrow and winding driveway between the houses to the back of the property - no where to turnaround so had to reverse the van out again... this took me nearly 10 mins on the first night brushing bushes and constantly stopping to straighten up.

Next day I took the car in thinking it would be much easier to get out again. All was well until I 'lined up' for my rapid exit and mounted a 3 brick high wall (that I'm sure wasnt there before) ripping the bumper skirt to shreds. Had to jack the car up and remove a row of bricks to get the car off....I was mortified....

..........the customer was laughing so much she had tears in her eyes!

Found out next day that the wall had been 10 bricks high when they moved in but after several simalar scrapes the height had gradually been reduced!! 😳

I was tiling a house on a new build site in the middle of nowhere, there was pressure to get the tiling finished so me and three other lads did the ghost shift to get it done. As it got dark we realised that the toilet was a good hike across a pitch black field. So rather than go across the field in the dark, we decided to put in one of the toilet pans that was in the living room. Needless to say we all did our business and flushed it with buckets of water. We finished the job about 5.30, locked up and left.
About 9.30 I got a call from an irate site agent asking if it was us that put the toilet pan in. "Yes why"?
He said "the contents of the pan was in the basement as it was not connected up, and to make matters worse the building inspector was the first one in there". :mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

I used to have a partner (tiler) who loved Guiness and curries. He could almost play a tune with his rear end. One morning we were doing a bathroom in a very posh lady's house when my mate let a really loud one rip, we then heard a little girls voice saying mummy the workmen are making rude noises in the bathroom. I was so embarassed
