mike-zim Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I have just broken the brand new copier scanner and printer combo. I was just following the instructions and a little plastic clip snaped off. Now the fucking thing wont work. I have told the boss and she wasn't too bad about it. but i still feel like a dick. i really am not feeling great. Anyway any thing similar ever happened to anyone else? I dont expect to see any of the staff member own up to anything though.
Eenuh Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Eh, at one of my summer jobs a couple of years ago, the job is to put whatever fruit or vegetable they put in front of you on those cardboard scales so they can be wrapped in plastic. Was my first week and we were supposed to pack apples. What I didn't know was that there were different kinds of apples and that they needed to be packed with two from each kind (so four apples from two different kinds)... Suddenly we'd run out of one kind and that's when I figured I was doing things wrong (no one told me D: ). No one said anything; they just went to get more apples so we could continue... >.>;
conzer16 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I worked in a busy pub/nightclub - I was a pretty senior member of staff at the time - one day we were packed to the rafters (local sports team had won a big game) and I was seriously trying to keep the bars stocked with change for the tills, beer/spirits, glasses et all. We had a new glasswasher installed the previous day and as i was taking a tray of about 36 pint glasses out of it with wet hands and i let it drop - gashed my hands to bits, broken glass everywhere and left with a sever red face due to the almighty jeer that went up from the 200 strong crowd in the bar
Tom Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 on my first day in my current job I accidentally deleted all the emails in the inbox, assuming that it was my personal email. It was actually the email for the whole office. I didn't own up, I was too embarassed, but I think they know it was me. That was nearly a year ago though, so it doesn't matter.
Cube Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I once accidently put Microsoft Office Profesional 2007 up on the site I used to work for at the price of £49.99. Luckily, it was noticed before anyone purchased it.
Owen Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Mate, you should be proud of yourself for owning up. The company overall we think your an honest person from now on...stuff like that happens all the time, it can be easily done. Just think to yourself you did the right thing for owning up and you didn't mean to break it, who cares what anyone else thinks. : peace:
mike-zim Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks, i am the one that is always fixing things, changing light bulbs etc. So for me to break something is quite rare. oh well first thing i have broken in 4 & 1/2 years of working here.
Oxigen_Waste Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Ah-ah!! I misinterpertrated the title. LOL, I was actually thinking you were turning gay or something. Anywho... chill, it could've happened to anyone.
ipaul Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 In a pub once and pulled that thing in the disabled toilet that sets some sort of alarm off >_>. It's bad to worry about things like this too much though, they often have no bearing on your life other than slight embarassment.
Slaggis Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Ah-ah!! I misinterpertrated the title. LOL, I was actually thinking you were turning gay or something. Anywho... chill, it could've happened to anyone. lmao I thought I was the only one that mis-interpreted it
Ashley Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I've never done anything 'major' at work like that although I'm always making a prat of myself. Done it three times today alone; Went to Natwest rather than Post Office to do the banking because we switched on Friday and the manager whose store I was covering left it all in an envelope and I just presumed the banking was for Saturday/Sunday but it wasn't so Natwest sent me on my way. Went running around the stock room trying to find my phone which I had placed on some shelves (ie the same colour) upstairs. Came downstairs at end of day and did all the paperworky stuff and went to leave and was like "Where's the keys?" so I sent someone upstairs to get them and it turns out they were in my bag.
rokhed00 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I was hoping this was going to be an offer to give out some blow jobs.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I broke my scanner/printer combo. Well it wasn't all my fault. For some reason it kept saying that the lid was up so it couldn't print, when it clearly was down. After inspection I find a button it should be pressing when it's down so the machine know it's down blah blah. So I superglue it down. When it comes to change the ink cartridge I can't because it needed to know when the lid was up so it would move the cartridge into optimum positioning. Ah well.
Slaggis Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I got 2 people fired once... but that was on purpose. awesome! How?
Daft Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I bought 'Enter the Matrix', I feel ashamed even to this day....
mike-zim Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 mike-zim turning gay confirmed. Lol totally didn't think of what else it could have meant. but this could double up as a coming out thread if anyone needs an excuse.
UK Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Shit happens. Don't worry about it. You've just quoted one of the greatest films ever made: Forest Gump. Have a Brownie point, on me.
