True story - hey, who's spying on me???
I got one for ya,actually 2 for ya,when i was still new with my company i was running a machine called a "Skytrak",basically a big a$$ fork lift,my boss pulled up & was calling to me from his truck,he was wearing some stupid looking glasses that looked like the glasses Roy Orbison wore,i pulled out & drove over to his window,just as i got to his window i hit a peice of steel slicing the side wall of the left front tire, about 5 gallons of Hydrofill liquid sprayed from the tire right into his face .

He was wearing those goofy glasses because he just had eye surgery,i thought i was doomed at that point.

The 2nd time was right after i got promoted to management,the boss came into my office with his kid,i asked him what his daughters name was,he said " his name is Robbie":eek:

Nowdays im much smarter:D

First off, man - I'm still laughing as I type. :D If I was a betting man, you know, I'd have to say I'm not the only Audioholic that spends a portion of his work day surfing through this forum! :D
I would NEVER do such thing. ;)

(But then again, I am the boss)

Too funny man... the forklift story really hits home. I once took a job in an auto parts warehouse, and even though I had no formal training, I ended up driving the forklift here and there around the warehouse from time to time, because we were so short staffed. Granted this was a liability waiting to happen.

As it turns out, lo and behold, one day I'm trying to take down a pallet of rack and pinions from the top shelf with this forklift when the foreman comes around the corner and stops dead in his tracks. He was unaware I had been driving the forklift up until this point. Well, in my inexperience with the machine, I managed to slide this big pallet right to the edge of the shelf, as the foreman comes over steaming red. Pallet is now tilting precariously on the edge, and the forks of the lift didnt' have enough grab.

I become nervous and I back up the forklift prior to raising the forks again to steady the pallet. As you can predict, the whole friggin' pile comes undone and hurtles towards the ground. Luckily the cage over the forklift protected me from harm, but the foreman had to so some serious acrobatic maneuvers to avoid serious injury.

Uh, needless to say, I was soon thereafter escorted from the building and told to never come back. :rolleyes:
