Biggest boo boo you have made at work

[Nottseagull]

Correct.

No wonder you fight your corner so well in the religious threads; your livlihood depends on it

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Well they all made me chuckle anyway, especially the one with the headset on

My own incompetence never fails to amaze me.

When I worked in A&E I was roped into doing some resuscitation training in an auditorium at a large sussex hospital. Beause we werer moving around a lot during the practical demos I had a head mike fitted so I could talk the Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics being assessed through the procedures,,,when we finished I had to dash to the lav for a long overdue number two..you guessed it.. I forgot to remove the headset and broadcast the whole performance across the lunch break buffet and emerged to a standing ovation.

Other hits included badly lacerating my hand whilst demonstrating an airway device and bleeding all over the assembled anaesthetists and plugging a laptop into an overhead projector and having the legend "I love anal" rotating gently across the screen courtesy of a mischevous work colleague as I rose to address the room.

In previous roles I made similar balls ups but don't want to bore you.

encore,..............

I see NSC as an alternative to hiring a church basement and starting a support group.

Mine are a bit boring.

I managed to take a satellite channel off air in the middle of advertisment break.

Probably the best time you'd think, but actually it's the worst.

For those technically minded I managed to plug something in with the same IP address as something making the ads go out.

One of them was going to win, unfortunately it was mine.

Only other one was printing off hundreds and hundreds of barcodes for a video archive, distributing them and finding out weeks later they didn't actually scan.

Mine is not so special compared to many/all of these stories.

I was working as a steward/security to pay my way through Uni, not an ego boost like the career stewards!

I ripped into all of the terminal stewarding retards and did not realise that my radio was switched on to broadcast. The button got stuck after I asked 'How are we going to find this camouflaged jacket?'. Work dried up after that.

I did have to escort two Peterboro' players off the pitch after they had a run in with their home fans, at Whaddon Rd, after the final whistle. I managed to elbow one of them in the face. No idea who it was as they were shoddy at the time. Brought a decent number to Cheltenham though.

Years ago, as a newspaper reporter, I got a tip that Salman Rushdie had attended a wedding in a local hotel. This was in the middle of the fatwa period when he was in hiding so I got pretty excited about it .The hotel manager confirmed he'd been there so I ran the story

Problem was it was a Muslim wedding but I was so excited about my "scoop" that I didn't really stop to think about the implications for the family who'd organised the wedding. Naturally, when the paper came out they vehemently denied he'd been there, the manager retracted her story and we had to print a grovelling apology.

But first, just to make sure I was wrong, I asked Rushdie's agent to get him to ring me and assure me he hadn't been there. Which he did.

We received around 30 new manuals for a product we manage on behalf of a customer a few years back, they arrived around 16:00 hrs.

I "stored" them on top of the bin and they were not there the next day.................

 

[Shinbreath]

as an 18 year old i was working in a grave yard doing various crap jobs . one of the least crap jobs was driving one of the diggers around. anyway one day i realised that if you turned the wheels full lock and let rip you could do a little wheel spin . anyway after a few weeks of wheel spins i was getting good , over did it one day tipped the thing up and i fell out. was pretty scared the thing would fall on me but it didnt and it righted itself . as i breathed a sigh of relief i realised it was still moving so i tried to get into it but it was moving faster and faster. all i could do was put my head in my hands as it turned towards the church. straight into the side of the church.

Not working yet but in first school i had felt ill for a couple of days. i was sitting on a chair while watching a video while other kids sat on floor, in front of me. I threw up and covered 8 kids in vomit.

I can imagine that starting a chain reaction.

 

[Gully]

Not me, but a former colleague, who received an e-mail with an attachment that was NSFW...this came from another location within our organisation, when opened up it revealed a video of a gentleman of asian extraction who was naked and lifting a rather large weight using his dick. If that wasn't bad enough this bloke decided that he was going to forward it to all his mates in the building, for them to enjoy, selecting names from his address book with almost gay abandon...unfortunately he also chose the name of one of the senior managers, who had the same surname as a mate of his, who it has to be said was less than pleased to receive the video and invited him to his office for a sharp one way conversation.

It is quite simple. Certainly, a lot simpler if you have been on the jars.

I ripped into my employers, workmates and it was broadcast on the central radio. I also questioned how we were going to find a camouflaged jacket (unless it was Siberian camouflage).

Sydney Futures Exchange .
In the Bank Bill trading pit .
It's the eighties' , pre mobile phones .
Portable handphones were around , but all existing bandwidths
have been taken up by rival brokers .
So , my colleague ,"Derek", decides to purchase a walkie-talkie kit from a local electrical store .
The device is to be used only for priveleged clients .
Days go past without a single order , until suddenly on the 4th day it crackles into life whilst
I'm eating a mid-morning cornish pasty . " Buy 27 Decs at market he screams !! ".
Startled into action , I hastily complete the order . Reporting the fill back to Derek , I speak into the pasty and then take a bite out of the microphone ...

I used to lifeguard at Arundel pool... I wrote off three radios in one summer season - it was silly really, there was nowhere to put the radios on the high chairs, so you had to clip them onto your shorts. When you see a kid struggling in the pool, saving your radio is the last thing you think about.
