Never have I ever!!!!!

[D00DY_T00DY]

Never have I ever spent an hour looking for my van keys.....then finding I had them in my hand all along

Or in your mouth and said " can't find my key-... oh"

 

[Rpa07]

Looking for my screwdriver today and it was in my mouth! Thought of posting my stupidity but didn't want to start a thread so thanks @D00DY_T00DY

I was looking for my new precision made CK slim line 4.0mm made in Germany driver
(CK get at me )
For a good 10minutes... put in in my normal pocket rather than my pouch

Sun got to my head

I'm so bad with putting my keys in my back pocket rather than my side pocket I've had to buy myself a karabiner to hook in to my belt loop...
Still "lose them"

 

[D00DY_T00DY]

Never have I ever locked my keys in my ford fiesta boot at 6pm on a Friday and ultimately had to smash my rear quarter glass to get them

Honest! I haven't

Never have I ever filled scrap copper pipe with rubbish so it weighs more, then taken it to a scrap metal merchant.

 

[Pete999]

Never ever have I told the Apprentice to use roof insulation to wipe his Bum after he's done number 2s

Never I ever put a load of rubble between folded bits of lead whilst roofing with my father

Uncanny Pete, I never ever did that either, was about 30 years ago that I didn't do it.

 

[Paul228]

Never have I ever ----ed in a plumbers bag, because the ---- blow lamped my newly run cables, because he couldn't be arsed to get a solder mat.
Never told anyone this before.
In his words, they will be ok, there's no copper showing and they are barely marked.

 

[Wilko]

Just like his bag

 

[Paul228]

Just like his bag

Lol true.
I seem to remember having a nose to nose discussion along those lines. I remember saying as a plumber, all your gear will be waterproof.
The site manager got involved and I walked.
He tried to get me back because it failed the basic tests.
The idiot had boarded up without changing the lengths.
I think the plumber was a relation of his, hence why he took his side.

 

[freddo]

Never have I ever cut right through PVC conduit with cables/draw wire still inside.

 

[Paul228]

Never have I ever put my tool bag on the roof of my van, got distracted and got in and drove off.

 

[David M]

Never have I lay down on the floor to reach for a cable under the floorboards only to crush my phone against my screw driver and crack the screen. !

 

[David M]

Never have I leaned over to flush the loo and my phone has slipped out of my pocket and gone down the pan!

 

[Pete999]

Never have I fitted Dado trunking a certain distance from the floor onl to go home and realise I hadn't taken the 2 inch screed into consideration, doh

Your poor phone

Never have I ever misread the rating plate on a 3ph motor and wired it in delta instead of star and marvelled at how fast it got to running speed.

 

[Paul228]

Never have I ever had such a belt off the HT lead feeding a neon sign as I did today.
Went to assess some lighting at a take away today.
The guy wanted it looking over and advice on some 600 commercial insert lights.
I ended up finding 15 issues with it.
All the lighting has been wired to switch on the neutral !!!
The HT feeding the neon has several twisted and open joints on its length, making the metal ceiling grid live.
Not something you expect when just doing a visual survey.

Did it start to smoke ??

 

[freddo]

No, I had the overload set correctly.

 

[Dave OCD]

Well of course the one that I didn't make the same mistake on also had an overload, but it hadn't been adjusted.

 

[telectrix]

that'll keep you on yer toes.@ paul228

 

[telectrix]

never have i ever took my hard hat off to eat my sarnies.

 

[Des 56]

That wouldn't be allowed today,the self righteous would be up in arms

because.the guy on the end is having a smoke,he must be swamping the whole of New York with that killer second hand smoke

 

[Rpa07]

That'll be the new @CK Tools competition to win some of their wonderful . . . . . (Insert tool type here)
Question: which one of these gentlemen is @telectrix having his statutory 20 minute Pie and Pint break?
Hint : look for something that is 'old' and 'peculiar'!

 

[Paul228]

I'm guessing that pic was taken in Leeds, Yorkshire.
They are all wearing those "hard" flat caps.
I'll se'thee

 

[telectrix]

[Paul228]

True
And not a whippet in sight...

 

[telectrix]

[Paul228]

Or Yorkshire pudding n roast beef..

 

[D00DY_T00DY]

No, I had the overload set correctly.

Did you make the sound of surprise and alarm?

 

[telectrix]

will you please desist from probing my achilles heel./ i'm amonty python fruitcake. these clips just freakme out.

 

[Rpa07]

Doodys just lost his 'V' to the Monty Python phenomenon so every second post has a reference - he's a lad he'll calm down or go chase a stick or something!

 

[Rpa07]

I could be wrong!

Cheeky.
Just my all time favourite film so tend to quote it.

Alot

 

[Rpa07]

It's making Tel go all wibbly though!

As an aside the predictive text for doody pulls up doofus! Now that's funny!

Perhaps predictive text isn't always so wrong as people seem to believe

 

[freddo]

No, that never happens...

Never have I ever forgotten to swap the phases on the delta part of one of the motors when changing the direction of rotation on several star/delta fan motors, so it started forwards then suddenly attempted to reverse when it changed to delta. I wouldn't know, but that might have made the sound of surprise and alarm.
I'm a good electrician really!

Haha
I've once been to a job on a Sunday after the guys "electrician" (to be fair it was a good job so far) where the spotlights kept tripping and he couldn't figure it out after spending Friday until 6 tearing his hair out (And the wall for a screwed cable)

So I take a peak inside the board... he disconnected it and I saw the neutral long enough to go on the opposite RCD. Sorted

Also tried to be converted to be a muslim. Had to politely decline and obstain from religion

 

[Paul228]

You've just reminded me of an incident about twenty odd years ago..
Friend of mine who's also a spark. Fitted an outside light for a guy who played in the same pool team. It was a quick job..
Unfortunately the light kept going on and off when it felt like it.
So we both went to look at it ( we had nowt better to do and he only lived 2mins from the pub).
Long story short...he had cut into a cable fed from his room stat... So it went off when the boiler went off..it was funny and embarrassing for him.
He still hasn't lived it down.

But I constantly get asked "has that radiator come on yet? Just put your hand on it and see"
Be much easier with a light to signify.

 

[Dave OCD]

"Is the heating on ?" "Hang on I'll just look at the outside light"

 

[Dave OCD]

And never have I ever cut a mitre joint on trunking in the wrong direction.

 

[D00DY_T00DY]

Never have I ever spent 3 hours trying to put up Swedish flat pack furniture and still not finish it at 1 in the morning on a bank holiday Monday.

Never have I ever esembled it wrong (a few times) only to realise when it comes to a later step and have to take it all back apart.

 

[Kamikaze]

Never have I ever traced an intermitted fault using an unauthorized test method until the fault presented itself in a more meaningful manner.

Never have I inadvertently used said unauthorised test method ...

 

[Wilko]

Never have I ever thrown in the towel and gone for coffee and cake

 

[Kamikaze]

Never have I ever accidentally dropped my favourite cutters down the cavity at a fire station and was forced to carefully knock out a breeze block at low level to retrieve it.
