Golddigga Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I got a loosely Supra related one for you. I noticed I had an oil leak around the top of the rocker cover (see current threads ) When I first saw it I didn't have a clue what it was so I was getting in and having a good old look. Later on my dad popped round and I was telling him about it. He told me to pop the bonnet and let him have a look which I did. Whilst I was pointing out the oil leak he asked me why I had a smashed pair of sunglasses on top of my suspension leg. It was then I realised that I had taken them off to get a better look earlier Diesel shades so now £100 down before I've even been to a garage [OOPS][/OOPS] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan999 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 About a month or so ago while in work on nights, we had been out fitting smoke alarms in someones house. When we had finished walked out the house and it was pitch black so i turned round to the lad I had been in the house with and said, watch these steps mate. Next thing I went flying down them all and went to grab the wall but some how managed to pull the brick wall over on to me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Just remembered another one, reminded by a story about standing on a toilet and then hitting it. My final year of high school in SA, girlfriend at the time was in the same year. At our farewell dance we decide that the bathroom would be a good place to go....as you do... With me sitting on the toilet, her ontop of me..... couple of minutes later the whole bloody toilet decides to come away from the wall dropping the 2 of us on the floor in a rather heavy manner... cracking the actual toilet. We run out thinking nothing of it.... Apparently leaving it like that, and not switching off the water was not a good thing... Thankfully did not get busted for that.

Guest Jc` Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 When i went to pick up my MK4 Golf, the blooming salesman had decided to park it on the steepest drive i've ever seen in my life. So i had to do a hillstart in a petrol car for the first time (I'd been driving a TDI). Just to add the suspense, there was a £32,000 07 plate VW Touareg parked a metre or so behind. Nevertheless, after 3 rollbacks, leaving me about 1cm away from the new touareg, i managed to floor it up the drive and away. And just to cap it all off, I nearly took my wing mirror off turning out :> Forgetting how to hillstart is not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil tt Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 While at college learning to be a carpenter, we where always told to put hand planes on there side, and not on there face to protect the blade, anyway this was drummed in over the course. While working on site on my first job, shooting in an internal door, using an electric plane, took as much off as was need, then put the plane down, on its side, and remove the tops of three of my fingers at the same time. That really hurt, and it was a winters morning, which didn't help:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan999 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 While in Las Vegas in Jan for the boxing, I was given a Stun Gun off one of the lads I had been doing security work with as he was going home. Later that day I decided to have a play with it as I had never had one before. After dismantling it and finding the 9v batt that powered it I thought it cant give that bad a shock from one of those! So while sat in a chair I decided to shove my thumb between the two electrods and press the button. I was told I made a really funny grunting noise before coming round slumped in the chair. My good god never try it, my arm was killing for days after, and you sure can get a shock that would drop an elephant from a 9V batt. Very funny though.

jim_supra Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I went to the cash point this morning to get some money out. I put my card in, put my pin number in and checked the balance. I then keyed in that I wanted £20. The machine did it's job and then gave me my card back, in it goes into the wallet and off I go. on my drive to work I stop off at the shop to get a drink, go to pay and.. oh sh1t........ I've left the money sticking out of the cash machine!! Needless to say when i got back to the cash point the money had gone! D'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'oh! i did that a couple of months back. the money didnt come out of my account though. i think if you dont grab the money with a few seconds it gets sucked back into the machine.

Ark Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Wouldn't worry too much - if nobody takes the cash after about 30 seconds, the machines eat it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Surprised I didn’t post this earlier! Yet another moment of stupidity from yours truly… A few years back now I worked as an IT engineer for a company with 11 offices throughout England & Scotland. As part of the job we had to travel to different sites for upgrades and support. Of course sending two heavy drinking Geordie lads away for a few days always resulted in us getting completely plastered and ending up in a right mess… The time we went to Stafford was among the worst! We’d finished work early, maybe 2:30 in the afternoon and headed straight out on the drink. I rang a couple of lads I know down that neck of the woods and they agreed to come pay us a visit. By the time they turned up it was 12 o’clock and they turned up in just enough time to see us being escorted out of an Indian restaurant for being too drunk. We headed back to the hotel with a car full of ale and carried on as usual getting totally and completely out of it. Annnnnnyway, much passing out later everyone had left and I went to bed. I got up during the night to go to the toilet. Normally a very simple task but I was still 99% asleep and very very drunk. Kind of a Stella induced trance if you like. To cut a long story short I couldn’t find the toilet in my very small room so I took off looking for the other lad’s room (my boss) to use his! So off I set… along the corridor, down the stairs, through reception and down the hall before knocking on the door. The door opened and I burst in desperate for the lav. It wasn’t until I started to “go” I head a voice cry “erm… excuse me” and I started to wake up. I looked out of the bathroom door and a very frightened bloke was lying in bed covering himself with a sheet. I’d got the wrong room… and I was stark bollock naked!!!!! I decided an explanation wouldn’t really fix things so I waved and said “good morning” and walked back out of his room, along the hall, through reception, up the stairs, along the corridor still as naked as a baby.

loks Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Since GeordieSteve has admitted to that story I too have a very similar tale of woe involving drink and a hotel... A few years back, here in HK, I was having an ale or two in my local boozer. When it came time to leave, I noticed that I didn't have my house keys in my pocket with the change. So I thought about it, swayed a bit and being pretty smashed, thought descretion was the best part of valour and it would be a good idea to check myself into a local hotel. I remember getting up for a slash in the middle of the night and having a little problem with the door getting back to my room. Considering the bathroom was an integral part of the room... Anyway I wake up in the morning, feeling a little jadded around the edges... Had my shower, brushed teeth with supplied brush and had my morning ritual crap as usual. I then went back to the bedroom and noticed a few thing missing. Well in fact everything - wallet, phone, cash, shoes, clothes, etc. I had been robbed. Hmmm, what to do? Manage to phone a mate on the room phone and explain the situation. He's of course howling with laughter but agrees to bring a set of clothes and some money over, to get me out of there. Sorted. In the meantime, it would probably be best to go and tell the hotel staff about the robbery and my predicament. Now, as this is usually a love (short time) hotel, the towels are not very big. So I go down basically naked to the reception, being covered by next to nothing and explain it all. Due to seriousness of this problem, the Manager is called and we head off to view the room. The Manager is very concerned and very apologetic. When we are walking towards my room, the staff member suddenly veers off in another direction. Me: "But my room is down this corridor". Staff: "No sir, your room is down here and infact, here it is". She opens door and viola, there is all my stuff... Somehow during that visit to the bog, I had waked half way across the hotel floor and found another unlocked room... lucky for me, it was empty... Mucho apologies to the hotel and I'm out of there as quick as I possibly could. My mates still take the piss to this day. What a twat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Not really stupid, but last night I was working. Had a cuppa soup and then crashed on my desk around 04:00ish. Woke up after 40 mins and found that the desk was wet. I didn't have my glasses on as I had crashed face first on the desk. Looked down and I found a pool of dark coloured liquid. Thought it was blood and sure enough it was coming out of my nose. After putting my glasses on and waking up a little I discovered it wasn't blood, but Oxtail soup. Somehow it had come back up and found it's way out of my nose. Pretty gross... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallikev Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 A few years ago, when i was about 17 or 18 i was seeing a girl who lived in the middle of nowhere, so one night she phones me and says "Wanna come round because my mums gone out for the night" bearing in mind her mother is v v protective, great i think and get my mate to give me a lift down there. Anyway were parked up waiting for her to phone to say her mum had gone out, she phones and i go round. Got settled in, watched a dvd and then got down to it, a while later i'm sat in her window smoking a cig, feelin pretty happy about things when i saw a car coming down the road, bearing in mind its the middle of nowhere i told her and she looked and said dont worry about it, then she went to look, heard her say "S**t its mum" at which point i jump up, grab my clothes on the floor, fall down the stairs and have to crawl on my belly past the front door (only in my boxers) as her mum is putting the key in and run to the back door, run out and hide behind the house. I'm crouched down, lookin round the corner waiting for her mum to move out of view so i can vault the 6ft wall behind the house, which i did, sat behind the wall putting my clothes back on and then i get a phone call to say her mum knows someone has been here and is going mental, anyway with this being the country i was imagining rather large shotguns lol, so ran across this field jumped over a barbed wire fence tearing my jeans to shreds, ran down the road and everytime a car came behind me would do a commando roll into the field next to me and lay flat down, did this for about 3 or 4 miles fearing for my life lol, at the same time trying to direct my mate back (who had got lost looking for me). Eventually he found me and told him to put his foot down and take me back home!. I laugh about the whole thing now but i really was bricking it at the time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
