i worked in a building society once and really fancied this bird called penny...anyway one day she came into work and her hair was in awavy perm style ( this was 1986 btw ).for some reason that escapes me, i meant to say to her that her hair looked like a poodles ( i dunno either...)...but i actually said..." you look like a dog..."
i got a right slap for it in front of 30+ people........bitch.

I acidently hit the emergency 'power off' swith on an IBM AS/400 when I worked at Cornhill. It took 3 days to recover - IBM sent 3 portacabins to our car park with a full 'mirror' of our system on it.

It took out over 500 worksations & dozens of other peripherals.

It would have cost 10's of 1000's of pounds in lost business etc.

Did I own up? Did I f***!

I did mess my pants big style though.

My first job was working in a bank and I was responsible for ordering the stationery. Instead of ordering 5,000 till bags, I order 5,000 pink rubbish bags. I realised my mistake when a big lorry arrived and started to unload box upon box upon box upon box upon box upon box..................................

My mum was having trouble plugging the hair dryer in once. For some reason, the plug wouldn't go in the socket. So she rammed a KNITTING NEEDLE in and waggled it around, and was promptly thrown across the room.

I was once working in a Ticket Office for British Rail (as was) and a woman put her card on the till so I clicked the turning desk and the credit card caught on the lip and pinged into the face of the next customer and cut him above the eye.

A very dangerous Access Card

When aged 22, as a skint student, I sold my guitar (a rather magnificent Fender Jaguar) to buy some jewelry as a present for my significant other and get some cash to treat her to a dirty weekend after the last of our exams later that week. Got home to find a letter welcoming me to dumpedville, went and got very pissed in the park on cheap cider, broke a couple of toes kicking a lampost, lost the jewelry somewhere - lost the balance of the cash somewhere, spent the next couple of days sick as a dog - screwed up my finals, ended up with a 2ii - ended up in a shit career

I really liked that guitar

Hmm, have made more than a few over the years but the latest one was trying to clean my teeth with Preparation H instead of toothpaste (Thanks Mrs BHA who had put it on a new Tattoo).

There was the famous dealer at Lehman Brothers who accidentally put two extra zeros on his trade, and promptly lost the bank over £ 10 million. Ouch.

But they can afford it
