Went to price a tennis court this afternoon, basically had to drive up a dirt track past the house for about 800 yards, priced the job, got back in the van and decided to do a 3 point turn between two barns, put the van on fulll lock and found myself in a ditch i had'nt noticed as it was coverd with leaves, i sunk up to the axels on the passenger side!! very embarassed i had to ask the client for a tow with her navara..
Anyone else done something embarressing like this when on a job?

was really ill on one job, (carpet cleaning) cleaned all the upstairs and then stomach was really bad, night on the ale and a curry had to come out, told my mate to wand the stairs so know one could get upstairs while i pebble dashed the toilet, absolutely stunk the place out, proper bad stomach, anyway, finished the job and the guy decided to have an inspection, got to the bedroom where the ensuite i used was, guy took a deep breathe and said " ooooooo that smells so much fresher" we fookin wet our selves laughin, but obviously trying our best to hide it.

I stood a ladder against a wall and got onto a 2nd floor flat roof to check a roof gully, heard a bang and the ladder was flat on the floor against the wall. I thought "thats lucky" and waited for someone to come out and replace my ladder. When I got down, the factory manager having put the ladder back, we realised it had smashed the MD's new jack the lad Astra - mirror, headlight, wing, bonnet,a post and roof  less than pleased was the reaction when I said at least its only a vauxhall and not a good car. That was a claim on my PL, ING were great and did'nt seem to load my renewal. I have not been asked back for some reason  lesson learnt
