try harder! im an apprentice mech at ford product development. when we finish with test cars they go to be scrapped and nothing can be left in workin order. so we drain all fluids, start the engine, and hand feed bolts and nuts directly into the manifold as we rev the tits out of it. we dont stop till it stops running. im not talkin falcons and shit im talkin next models xr's and fpv's prototypes that are worth $250,000 plus.

i couldn't count how many cars ive scrapped.

not bad job to get paid for.

previous job at a foundry, a whole lot of brass was made with 2 much of a certain element which made the brass unuseable to be melted and cast ..24tons scrapped .. 1 tonne of this particular grade = 12k ... scrape value per tonne is around 3k ... and still got a bonus at the end of the year

Didn't really cost anything, but when I worked at a butchers, used to wipe down all the shit with this hardcore bleach and some other shit... when i first started ididnt know and couldnt find anywhere to wipe in to, so there was this tub of meat on the floor - i thought it was gonna be thrown out, but it was ready to get minced up the next morning so i just put it all in there... lol

I was emailing my friend about how much I hate my job, but clicked the wrong button - ended up in the inbox of my manager

Still working here and hating it

[Do-Luck]

Nearly ruptured a natural gas pipe in a boiler room

AP, I've got my forky's license, but I am sooo paranoid about unloading stuff

[DogKnight]

When I used to work as a Harvey Norman technician used to f**k things up from time to time. Mainly because we had to test things.

'Customer brings back RAM saying its fkd'

- Test RAM in my work PC

- PC fry's'

- Create dodgy invoice to make it look like the store purchased that PC 6 months ago

- RA'd PC and got a new one =)

working in finance means stuffing up just can't happen for me.. frequently blamed for other ppl's mistakes tho, which is even more annoying when you never make any...

but I do have a list of work related peeps who really need something stuffed up their....

I think Kevin Rudd is a clear winner here... $13M on his grocery price website which is of zero use lol

Its not stuffing up if its what they tell you to do...

[Ruffels]

wow mine looks crappy compared to some of the stuff ups here

when i was working as a mechanic i drove a customers car into the hoist, put a nice hole in the front left guard... off to the panel beater that went : /

[dezz]

back in the produce manager days I ordered 50 cases of one of the slowest selling lines instead of 5...

was quite a discount on that product

[SABBAi]

haha Dezz that's funny as.

Squash - $0.12 kg

[dezz]

It was actually 'fresh cuts' bagged salad mixes....

I marked em down to about 50c, think the original price was around $5

Customers loved me

[Swiper the Fox]

We had a new ordering system at work...instead of ordering a packet of Chux wipes with 100 in it...100 boxes turned up...3/4 of a semi trailer load. Same thing happened in Sydney with a packet of screws...500 boxes of screws...instead of a box of 500 screws.

Ive also written off a couple of cars...1 x Nissan Navara ute and 1 x brand new Commodore wagon.
