Stupid things you've done at work

Sitting in the back of a small van, holding some servers for dear life as my work colleague and 'driver' canes it round London at 50mph.
 
used to work in a warehouse and had need health and safety procedures, one day i jumped on the forks of a fork lift and raided 30feet to try and push another pallet back on the racking. very stupid looking back.
 
Probably when me n a few workmates got caught driving electric qauds around the warehouse.

Gave a customer the wrong bike after a repair...that was sorted though.

Build a few snowmen with boobies with my assistant manager out the back when it snowed heavy last year, such a laugh as the shop was dead and i only got to work because i jumped on my bike.:D
 
Was talking to a friend once at work whilst trying to establish what he wanted me to do next as I was helping out on his department, Duty manager walked round the corner and said to me, what are you doing, so I replied Passing moons(guys nickname) the bread, which I was, whilst talking to him. The guy then preceded to take me to the side and said step into my office - which was in fact the bakery cream room

Still makes me chuckle to this day, and my friend still can't believe I said it to the guy. Probably not the best reply in hindsight. :D
 
One of my colleage turned up on monday. :rolleyes: When he noticed the gates were locked he phoned my boss who was still in bed.

I've managed to leave some wire cutters in a roof space. I'm perminantly having to go back to the office for tools that I've forgoten.

I sprayed half a room with bright red sealant today. Because I forgot to release the pressure before I took the end off to see why it was blocked :o
 
I once watched a collegue drop a 6000£ projector off the top of a 2 storey moveable tower :D

..in the same day he managed to crash the van too!

So a 'duty manager' took you aside for a grilling for talking to someone you were working with. Thats the kind of stuff that would have happened when I was 16 working at McDonalds and some 40 year old looser who's lifetime career is working in a fast food gets on a bit of power trip.

Now, I'd tell them exactly where he could shove it.
 
Fell down from a ladder when putting some CAT 6 in the false ceiling, was dressed in a white shirt as well, so that got pretty dirty when one of the tiles followed me down and fell on me, was groggy, got up and tripped on the box of cable, fell chin first on a worktop and on the way down managed to rip a nail on the edge trying to grab it to stop the second fall. They found me on the floor with a busted nose as well as i apparently got my honker knocked on the worktop edge too.. don't remember that part, Got 3 days off with pay for that...
 
None really, nearly crashed a company car when i jumped a red light, had a pee and dribbled all down the leg of my grey suit.
Saw a guy blow himself up when he soldered a battery wrong, made a very tasteless joke.

When I was younger we had some laughs but its not really work, like forklift and pumptruck races, climbing the racking, jumping into the cardboard baler, jumping into the massive thing of packing peanuts off the racking. Didn't realise there was cameras in the warehouse, didn't get fired though.
 
where I used to work the MD had his own special toilet that generally only him and 'special' people use. I wasn't told this and used the toilet and somehow managed to block it, didn't realise at the time i'd blocked it, when the next guy went in (who was a some high profile customer they where trying to impress) the whole bathroom was filling up with water and flooding out the door into the corridor.
