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

I did that as well lol.. soon as i realised i ran over to him and im like i accidently sent an email to you which was meant to go to a friend of mine do you mind deleting it? lucky he was logged out at the time and he's like yeah no worries.

when i was a kid i went to the bank with my old man... he was doing business banking (family business) and dropped like $8k (i didn't see him drop it) but saw a couple pick it up and walk out of the bank... when we got served, he realised the money was missing and had no idea what had happened... i told him i saw someone walk out of the bank after picking up a lot of money off the ground but we never found them...

that's about as big a loss that i've caused...

when I was 15 I worked at a department store for a little while, serving customers, taking out rubbish and that kinda stuff. One day the elevator was out of order so I decided to take the big wheely bin of rubbish down the escalator. As soon as I got on, the bin slipped off and went down at a million miles an hour, nearly knocking a woman over and the rubbish got all tangled in the escalator motor, the emergency cut off didn't work and so the motor burnt out. Something about a $6k bill was mentioned, though it was such a pov shop they never got it fixed and closed down a year later. Probably my fault, the woman was pretty traumatised and may have sued.

All because they didn't fix the elevator.

some funny as sh!t in here! laughed a lot! some of mine arent quite as bad as some of the other on here...

I work for my families freight company which carts big machinery and farm/mining equipment across the nation, i was driving a 20ton fork loading a 13odd ton impact roller onto a truck, it somehow slipped off the end and onto the trailer bending it then kept sliding onto the ground... nearly killing the d!ckhead who was helping me, i kept telling him to get outta the way coz anything can happen, lucky he moved when he did!! bent trailer and damaged the roller... both are worth a fair bit

i sometimes to escorting too!( no not that sort), driving a chase vehicle to guide trucks with super wide loads, i T-boned some p plater girl in a camry who came across the intersection in front of me whilst i was escorting a truck through (even tho she had 'right of way' we had stopped all the traffic, flashing lights etc etc)... apparently we are being sued for that.. no one is really sure who's fault it was..

best one would have to be drifting the managers work runabout (vz monaro) right in front of him.. not happy!! but we all laugh about it now which is good!

I sent an email picture of two down syndrome kide sharing a milkshake in a park with a caption reading "my milkshake brings all the tards to the yard" to an email distrubution list with over 40 people on it. Lucky ofr me most of theme were in QLD and after bullsh!tting my way out of it I still have my job!

uhhh don't really have any major stuff ups... but in my current job while redoing the toyota website when we were putting together the design preview I changed all the aurions with chasers and camry's with verossas... somehow some of them slipped thru the net of final signoff... I got a huffy email a while after the site went live from my boss saying "please remove the non australian toyota cars from the site."

Didn't cost the company a cent, but I'm sure some boss at toyota had a seizure after seeing parallel imports on their site.

lol @ stolen_s15

you only ever make that mistake once..

My philosophy now is that I don't send anything to anyone unless I'm prepared for the wrong person to eventually see it too!

Oh I just thought of something.. when I was 14 I worked at a butchers in Sydney.. we used to slice up deli meats as well.. even though I'd been there for about a year.. one Saturday morning I was slicing something up for a customer and took off a good chunk of my thumb... thumb = invaluable! :\ I was earning about $5 an hour...

I don't think you can tell though... sure seemed alot worse at the time!

lol I was just saying the other day that I need a crowbar for the Wii so I can play HL on there :P hehehe!

Need Wiiocket Launchers too! :)

Need practice before they start up the LHC..

Oh boy that'd be fun...

They fired up the LHC yesterday... ...Don't know if they've done any collisions yet or not...

I unplugged the wrong thing when I was told to vacuum at a palliative care house...

Lucky for me there was an alarm and a battery back up...

:D

hahahahaha i reckon u may have lost ur job (possibly freedom) for that one! f*k that was close..

GOLD!!!!!!

BAAAHAHAAA

I have just found that pic and forwarded it to everyone in my address book.

A mate's brother was working for him and loaded a 30tonne excavator onto a low-loader semi.

Swung the boom as he was loading and flipped it onto his brother's brandd new Landcruiser Sahara. Total write-off!

Same guy left a nightclub with me at 4am in the City. Got a cab straight to the farm job (pissed) and was driving the same excavator and flipped it on it's side. Fell asleep and the farmer woke him up 3hrs later.

There's 7 boys and I could go on forever about this family and their f@$kups!

i used to work driving trams and i derailed the tram, ass end came off the tracks as i was entering into the shed at work and didnt know the ass end was off the tracks (as i was going like 6km/h) till the ass end really kicked out and hit the shed wall (Bricks) and hit air compressor line for the tram mechanics in the shed and cleaned up the fire hose reel, and the fence. lol total damage cost was bout $60000 to get tram repaired and painted, new shed wall, air compressor line fire hose reel, new fence and new bitumen and tracks lol ( and yes i still had my job afterwards as the investigated it and found out it was due to the tracks being in poor condition)phew!!! lol

Lesson - Never try to drift a tram - you have no steering wheel - hahahaha

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
