[bigbaddave]

After working late on Monday in what I thought would be an easy PM job.. 2 spot in a on suite.. Doodle.. So i start with the first which is above the shower cubicle.. as I am a short --- I need the steps. So position the gear in the cubicle (Tools Etc) i carefully get the steps in and shut the cubicle... I must add this house is accumulate.. I mean spotless and as its a pm job i aint the cleanest.. well as in the cubicle i slip and hit the mixer shower.. Oh my lord where is this water coming from??? Ah its the shower.. Well the walk down from the third floor was a tad awkward whilst dripping over her clean cream carpet....

She actually just laughed...

That doesn't even register on the scale of foul ups! That's just a humorous incident!

Mine was walking down the aisle with the biggest **** this side of the Mississippi, when I was young and impressionable. :smilewinkgrin::89:

That's a very minor unfortunate incident

It's a few years back the shower I was involved in was at the head office of a very large breakdown company, the on call plumber reckoned it dropped around 50 thousand litres of water from the second floor of the riser when a rusty pipe broke as we ran a cable from the roof to the main computer suite. That was a bum twitching moment watching letters floating out of the basement post room which is under the riser thinking how to explain this one and how much next years premiums would go up as the claim would be big while getting rid of as much water as possible. Didn't sleep well that night wondering what the reaction would be when we arrived on site the following morning but aside from the building manager having a bit of a go which was well fended off by the IT team we were working for all was well somebody had checked the building records and the pipe should have been replaced about 18 months earlier during a building upgrade the contractor was called in to explain why it wasn't and we were in the clear

I've never done it with a gas pipe but I have with a water pipe...several times! I once managed to flood my cellar kitchen whilst I was changing the bathroom sink taps......the kitchen was two floors below the bathroom!

At one of my first jobs running in a supply for an elderly womans wet room shower, I was tasked with aligning the SA2 for the cable to ensure it was straight.

The sparks I was with says "You only get one good shot at this so dont screw it up".

So I screwed it up. After finally accepting my fate I asked the sparks how to get it off her new tiles. "Use your imagination" not taking into account this was one of my first jobs and I had no idea how to get it off.

In my young-ish wisdom I decided the best method would be brute force.

Seven tiles clinked off the wall with the SA2 to come smashing down onto my head and her newly painted walls and on the floor.

Needless to say he was't happy and I had the pleasure of telling the tiler I'd just destroyed his work, just as he was about to go home.

I kept saying to him 'I'm sure i can smell gas??' it was getting worse so we shut it off at the meter then had a look round.... daft sod had screwed a floor board down straight into a gas pipe!

Lucky i was there to pull him out the crap that day!!
