Whos had an afternoon worse than mine? LOL (Funni stories welcome!)

[quackfly]

Well i went round to my local curry house to collect a dozen big buckets that once held chip oil curry sauce etc so I've just spent the past two hours retching at the stink of rancid chip oil as i scrubbed them out in my bath!! Anyhoo, I've now got a fresh stack of clean mixing buckets Can anyone beat that for a doozie of a stinking afternoon?

[Del W]

They must be really good buckets !

So you've now clogged your pipes with oil .....oops, next time take them to the nearest petrol station with a steam cleaner, let them have the smell................................... and the mess.

too much information

[quackfly]

Eh i didnt pour gallons of oil down the pipes Alan! and maybe you'd like to share your method for blasting inside an empty bucket with an industrial strength power washer without A. blasting it back into your own face and B. sending it flying twenty feet in any given direction with the force of the water? lol

[Mike]

too much information

i use gorilla tubs for mixing. as they are flexible just bend 'em and the addy comes off.

A bit like Mike's boxers then.

I can't say that I've ever done it so have no fixed method, I'm sure we could come up with one though, like wedge the bucket, stand well back and kiss your curry goodbye, gotta be better than going into your own pipes.

there was only tiny oil residue in them, the stink was the worst. i bought two bottles of fairy and got to work! like i said the result was a dozen large clean buckets for free!! I'm happy believe it or not!

I have a funny story that happend a couple of months ago, I arrived at a mid terraced house to do a little job, I got there and the lady let me in etc and I brought some gear in with me and then went back to the van for more stuff. I went back in and noticed the lady had a friend round who looked a bit shocked to see me, I walked in and said hello and carried my stuff up the stairs.

When I got half way up something didn't feel right, I thought this landing looks a bit different and then it hit me, I was in the wrong house!!
I'd brazenly walked into next door by accident, I thought damn the next few seconds are gonna be interesting, I turned round and went back down to be greeted by the lady who asked "who the hell are you?" with a worried and disbelieving look in her face.
I explained what had happend and that I was working next door but stumbeld in here by accident "they all look the same, they all look the same" I said!

I went back next door and a few seconds later she came round and had a word with my customer, it turns out they are good friends and in the end we all had a good giggle about it but, boy did I feel an idiot!

[SandyFloor]

There's a few of us have done that, Bob. I've done it at least twice. As you say they all look the same sometimes.
