mine? i watched a porn film being made :D

this is going back around 12 years ago,
i worked for a local traveller fitting waste drainage pipes, he dropped me off at a big house in Farnham one day to dig a trench ready for some pipes to be laid.. he said the guy at the house was a private film maker, tbh i didnt think any more about it and just got on with the digging,
come lunch time i was distracted by quite a booming voice behind me saying "hello, lovely day for it"
this might not have sounded odd to must people, but when i looked round and saw a rather plump elderly gentleman wearing wrestling trunks and boots 'big daddy style' i did think it was odd :o
anyway, it turns out he was there to have a film made of himself 'wrestling' with a naked girl :D
later in the day after this old guy had left, the girl was still there to have a "solo" vid made... i was invited in to watched it all, and i did ;)

so whats been your best day at work? :)

EDIT: that is a 100% true story btw

Plenty, most of the stuff not very good unfortunately, most memorable for me was while in Iraq, mortar alarms started going off, heard 3 base plate explosions , two rounds fly over and then nothing but silence.

All i remember after that really was knowing the round was coming down on top of me, running towards some Hesco wall trying to get into cover and then what i can only describe as what felt like a bus hitting me at 100mph and a bright flash to my left, then just blackness.

woke up thankfully in one piece but with a headache from hell.
 
Working in a club and sending the newbie to ask a club a few roads away if they had any spare ice mix we could borrow. Said club not being in on the joke told newbie they'd run out and he should go ask another club on the other side of town :D

Best phone call ever from the 1st club telling me what they'd done :D

Newbie quit 3 days later :(
 
Getting sacked from the passport office.... lol :D

The 256 days off sick in one year did not go down too well. :p

Hated the place! :mad:
 
i just remembered another one. i was working as a driver's mate and that involves sitting on my backside for most of the day. as a truck is limited to 56mph, i thought it was odd that we were rapidly gaining on a car in the slow lane on the m5. when i looked down at the driver as we passed, he had a massive pink sex toy pleasuring a woman sat in the passenger seat, legs spread impossibly wide. although he was driving slowly, fair play to him for keeping full control. :D
 
The car carrier I was on at the time docked in Melbourne in October 2011, where we were originally scheduled to spend a mere 8 hours before departing again. Given what we had to do in the engine room as well, that left no time to get ashore, which was a rather disappointing prospect.

Hence my surprise and delight when we found out on arrival that the local stevedores were on strike, meaning that due to the way the cargo was loaded, we couldn't leave until the cargo intended for Melbourne had been unloaded. Spent pretty much a full 48 hours there in the end, most of it ashore.
 
Being told to use the counter balance, despite me informing the dodgy team-leader that I had absolutely zero experience, and then watching his face as nigh on a million quids worth of stock fell 30' onto a hard concrete surface.

A few years later, quitting minutes before I was going to get sacked for a bout of fisticuffs with the above team-leader who was now a line manager.
 
A railed COO shoving his tongue in my ear at the Company Day after party.

Police in the Netherlands being kind enough to pull over and help me wrangle a drunken colleague into a taxi and back to the hotel. That whole night was an odyssey.

Ending up on the bender to end all benders with a certain high-profile author. When "funds" for that particular stop ran out, he decided that none of us had had quite enough and whacked out the credit card. "Last of the old guard" type, sweet jesus it was like the End Times all night.
 
sacking 6 people in one go, for gross misconduct.

that will teach them to smoke that stuff in work without offering any to da BOSS :cool:
