Funny tales from the job

[Graham100]

There must be a million funny stories out there. Just watched the blog about the dog eating the guys sponges. Classic. Often said I should write them down when they happen.

Mate of mine sells loft conversions. When explaining to a potential customer about the required head room, he explained that she had to have 2 metres at the top of the stairs.

She said 'what gas and electric?'

So come on there must be loads out there.:hurray:

called a mediterranean looking chap Amron for about two weeks on a job, it turned out he was from Burnley and when I'd asked him his name he replied "I'm Ron"

My bro in law was working in a house (not a plumber may i add) , the waste pipe from a sink was leaking so he thought to give a hand he would start taking the u bend apart. While the customer was stood behind him he decided to tip the excess water....... down the sink! :mad2: Ha ha, he might as well have poured it on the floor and had it over with.

My other brother in law (I've just spotted a pattern here) filled up with diesel instead of petrol. Not his car, Tesco garage! He is a tanker driver and delivers fuel! That must have cost a fortune to put right, he kept his job.... just.

I'm currently flooring a house extension. My work had been put off as it transpired the joiner had put a screw through a pipe when fitting the chipboard floor and flooded under the floor. It was opened up a let dry for about three weeks. When the joiner refixed the chipboard.............he did it again. I started the job on Monday after a delay of six weeks. I don't know if he still has his job.

I turned up to do a quote a couple of weeks ago, for an office fit out. Walked in the reception gave my name and then then gave me a pass card, escorted me to a computer and said someone would be along shortly to explain things...Strange I thought, but let it pass, 10 minutes later a red faced building surveyor came rushing through apologising. They only thought I was the office temp for the week in the accounts payable!

Another one from a few years ago and apologies if I'm repeating it.

I was working with a joiner ripping up a water damaged chipboard floor in a house and replacing it. The owners were both out but their 20 year old goth son was in. About 2pm the house phone rang he appeared at the kitchen door to say 'someone' was on the phone asking when we'd be finished. My mate asked him who it was. The boy walked back to the phone to ask and came back a few seconds later and said "it's my mum."
