I've been noticing a lot of static around the forum and I'm putting up a thread on everyone's level so we can all come on for a bit of a bonding session.
Tell us all about the dangerous, meaningless and trivial things that you do. Jumped off a roof? Worn a shirt without removing the coat hanger? Put nail varnish on a cat? anything at all

I once jumped into the wrong car by accident, when my ex was picking me up from the station.. In my defence, they were similar models & colour, and the strange woman saw the funny side, although my ex wasn't as amused.

Failed carjacking. Good, this is just what I was looking for.
I would caution anyone to be honest in this thread. If you do he just might be as rude and demeaning as he was to me in another thread. He didn't hurt me because he's not a friend but it was disrespectful what he said.
I decided to bring back to life two old chairs today and after carefully cutting into the right shape the new upholstery I did threw it in the bin along with the scissors. I am ashamed to tell how long it took me to find them... Yesterday morning I seriously panicked at work when my newest, expensive machine didn't start, the client is laying down with a face covered in Ultragel and the bloody screen is lifeless as a Black hole. Every single, awful, possible reason crossed my mind, seeing myself arguing with the producer and so on... And then I realised I haven't pugged it in the socket. I know, I need a holiday...

KremaP: That's my middle name!
Thank God they don't know anything about technical parameters, megahertz, joules per cm2, nanometres and all the rest of the BS, so I can talk endlessly about that. When the client is covered in gel or wears black protective glasses it helps a lot too...
Yep, keep up that barrage of covering fire and slowly creep over to the plug socket. Been there many times. I admit that I am jealous of you, I wish I had some way of incapacitating my customers other than bonking them on the head with a hammer. The judge has said he won't turn a blind eye to that again.

If you know what my clients are willing to go through, out of vanity...you won't need a hammer...they'll do the hammering themselves if you tell them it will work wonders and will pay you for that too... Jeez, I hope non of them reads that...oh, wait, most of them don't read anything but clothes labels...

Servicing your clients must be like shooting fish in a barrel if the fish shot themselves. I'm in the wrong trade. There's not much my customer's are prepared to go through for the resumption of an equitable temperature.
