leaving tubs of spacers (5000) 2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm, where my kids could play with them and mix them all up:mad2::mad2:

We use these flat toolbox organizer thingys to sort the spacers and they work really well as long as the latches are secured!!!!!:mad2::mad2::mad2:

I now keep tile spacers in a bag with a clip on it - Got so hacked off spending half the day picking spacers off the floor.

Lost count of the number of times I've tried to smoke a pencil and mark plasterboard with a ciggie!

Funniest thing I saw was a sparks who used my steps to connect a ceiling rose and put his foot into a full bucket of spf when he came down - I was doubled up laughing and holding onto my mate for support.....what made it even funnier was that we'd only just commented on his shiney new trainers!!:lol:

Making a mix using my hose pipe that was fully unwound in the hot sun, it was set rock hard in 2 minutes.


Always run the water to cold if using a hosepipe. :cool3:

Dom, I can relate. Back when I was still a green bean we were setting a foyer with rapid set. THe lady of the house was pregnant and needed to get out of the house at any time to go the the hospital.

My helper and I mixed the rapid set with hose water on the side of the house where the sun was, in July I think it was, and got maybe two tiles set before the stuff set up in the bucket. Wasted an entire bag of material! :mad2:

The one I do that pee's me off is knocking over the spacers and then having to pick them out of the adhesive I have just laid ready to receive tiles. The other one is much like what Chris did, cutting around a pan getting it just right then dropping it - smash.....:mad2:

 

[faithhealer]

dead legging myself on the tow bar is probably funny to every one else

 

[diamondtiling]

I cut this tile twice, the first one broke after the lady of the house stepped on it.

:mad2:

Ps I dont look like that...........normally.

I havent got any tiling ones except for the spacers one.

But (and you can disregard this is wanted)
I was once stripping a subaru and laid underneath it undoing the subframe in order to drop the engine gearbox and everything else in a oner. I wasnt really concentrating and was laid to the side off the car one hand turning the wrench and the other pushing the ratchet up. The bolt let go and it was the last one. So the whole lot pinned my right hand too the ground i screemed like ned flanders as i couldnt get it off. My mate then came running in and tried too lift the wiegh off but lifted the wrong side and put all the wieght onto my fingers which then made a "crunch" noise.

I had SNAP ON in printed too my fingers for weeks.

The worse but was my mate saying can you stop swearing at me because its making me laght and i cant lift when im laughing,

Another time i was swinging off a scaffie tube which was on a wrench when the wrench "snapped" and i woke up 10 mins later with blood pouring out off my forehead where id lamped my self in the head . lol

Again not tiling so sorry:ban:

I can't add any more to those, as I have been party to all of them except the bag of addy emptying. The one that always kills me though is someone treading in a full bucket of whatever off a ladder, I'm laughing now just thinking about it.
