Ever damaged anything at work?

Not tiling, but I'd just started work in a motorbike shop and the boss asked me to take an NSR250 for a test ride as the customer was on his way to collect it. I was gleefully riding around being careful on the damp roads when a woman ran out from between 2 cars. I grabbed a handful of front brake and ended up on my ear. She just turned to see me skating up the road and carried on her merry way. Luckily the car behind me stopped and came back to the shop with me to explain to my boss why the customer wasn't getting his bike

This thread has just bought back a memory. Retiling a shower for a mate at mates rates, he'd had it done a few years before and it had failed badly (plywood onto studs..). So we ripped it all out, reboarded, tiled and I'd just put up the side panel for the shower cubicle ( reusing the old one) turned around to pick up my level and heard a crack. As I turned back, like something from a cartoon, a crack went down the glass and then it shattered into thousands of pieces all in glorious slow motion.
I've no idea why it broke but I did pay for a new one.
