Creeping along in a Town Center traffic jam, apprentice driving, as they like to do, head on swivels, girl watching, he runs into the back of the car in front.
Very low impact, we got out to inspect the damage, hardly any, broke the number plate on our transit, knocked a large amount of rust flakes off the underside of the car in front, a really old Sierra on it's last gasp, we all had a look, couldn't see anything, owner said no problem so we apologized and left it at that, bought a new number plate to keep the boss happy and forgot about it.
A month later, in the office, got called into the interrogation room,

"What's this about the crash you've had"?
what crash?
"Well only the crash where you wrote this guys car off, injured his wife, and wouldn't give him
your insurance details"

The guy was claiming for a new car and damages for his wife ( who wasn't even in his car) ????

Luckily our Boss was a good guy and saw the funny side of it when we showed him the old number plate that was still in the van, but I believe it caused him a bit of grief before it was done.
So don't forget to fill your accident reports in, never know who you're going to run into.
 
best one was Wifes pals boyfriend emailed my mrs saying Id been having an affair with her pal for years quoting a day Id been working away n long hours We had just been checking through bank statement and i had used my card god knows howmany times that day lol He had sent similar email to a few of the girls friends one who had just had a baby and others NUMPTY (I wouldnt give her one anyways shes way to skinny Id be feart she would break
 
So far today
1: letting the cat catch a bird
2: blocking the Hoover ( been nowhere near it )
3:making her loose an earing
4:letting the cat put said bird behind fridge
5:making her late for hair appointment
Ive been in about half an hour and stuck in the office - and in not moving!
 
Getting her pregnant
“You wanted a kid”
“That was before I knew what it’s like being pregnant”
I went for a vasectomy a month after my son was born!
 
I fixed a light in a ladies WC in an ediburgh Tax office. 2 hours later i got the boss on the phoning asking me why HMRC were complaining i had installed spy cams above the female showers!

Turns out it was the on site maintenance guy stirring it I dont think he is there anymore
 
When I was a labourer I got blamed for smashing a window on the extention of the house. Tenant screaming and shouting at my boss that he has to pay and also swearing at me calling me some very nasty things!

Soon as my boss pointed out the water damage from rain over a months worth my boss told him where to go and that he is lucky that he doesn't deck him for trying to pull a fast one. I gave him a few chosen words of my own. Why do people think that they can try to make us (and other trades) pay for the broken things in their house?
 
When an apprentice I got blamed for the spark I was with smashing the van into a block house in a school playground. Apparently it was my fault for not looking where he was going! I was 16 and couldn't even drive!

Boss didn't like me because I didn't like Bristol city fc and I rode a motorbike. Ended up being forced out, bang went my indentures.

Bitter, me?
 
I quite often get blamed for nothing in particular:
Some old geezer who thinks he's funny will come up to me and say "it's your fault" then wander off.
