I enjoyed this

What total mess ups have you made?

I once drove a Landrover I was delivering to Ashford Middlesex in thick snow. When I got there I looked at the delivery note which clearly stated KCC. Took me a couple of minutes to figure out that was Kent County Council.

I hope you explained it was a new design of eccentric stable door as you screwed a hinge onto the off cut

My mate was asked to panel out the plumbers new van with plywood. It looked great inside unfortunately all the screws were too long and went right through the sides. It looked like a mad max vehicle. He only kept his job because the plumber needed a driver as he was banned for drink driving.

5 years ago was walking my dogs through local woods. A plumpish middle-aged lady was walking her Labrador puppy towards me.
With my two pugs running towards her, she picked up her puppy, only for the dogs legs to get entangled in the neckline of her T-shirt. Within a split-second her puppy had dragged her T-shirt down , exposing one of her naked breasts.
"ooops", she exclaimed, pulling her T-shirt back up.

Like a true gentleman, I pretended not to have seen anything, .....and put my camera discreetly back in my pocket.

We used to take on work experience / junior painters.
It was always a lot of hassle .
On one one occassion we were under the cosh, so I thought I'd risk leaving the lad on his own for the day simply to paint a ceiling & walls in a bedroom, while I went to help the others with a large job that had to be finished.
He had been with us a few months now & the room was virtually empty.
What could go wrong?
Came back to white walls & a yellow ceiling.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Putting my glass bottle of Tizer in my parents chest freezer for a school trip the next day. Bottle exploded overnight and chest freezer was embedded with glass and Tizer when inspected in the morning.

steep learning curve, sometimes
