Don`t feel disappointed, your time will come. :wink:

Many the time, a cheeky apprentice, unknowingly :roll: carried a pair of bricks in the tool bag back to the shop. :oops:

Hahaha! They did something similar to one of the blokes. Everyday, they put a flange in the pannier bags on the back of his bike! Took him 2 weeks to realise why his bike was so heavy!

My boss at work (in a hospital pharmacy) told me about a trainee nurse who was sent to the pharmacy for a 'bowman's capsule' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowmans_Capsule).

They phoned the ward sister and asked how long to keep her waiting for - the response was "15 minutes or so - she's driving us mad!".

They then returned to reception, explained that they had run out of bowmans capsules, and could she come back tomorrow?

When I worked I Tesco we sent someone off to get a 'rotation' because that was what the eggs needed to be used in.

I remember when I was stock contoller I was annoyed with a supplier and tried to phone them to complain- someone gave me the number which I rang and I told them how dissappointed and upset I was etc. etc. I then realised I was talking to a rather concerned Samaritan.

When I was a placement student I'd ask another placement student in operations where certain parts of a diesel engine were fitted on the production line. Therefore she had no qualms about asking the chief engineer sat behind her where the spark plugs are fitted (spark plugs are only on petrol engines for those not in the know), he then shouted across the office to his boss to ask if he knew. Hook, line, sinker... :lol:
