Just heard this about one of guys who works for Mr CRX.

Mr CRX sent out the guy to buy light bulbs for work. Before he went he was told over and over again, dont get screw fittings, get bayonet.

He comes back ten mins later with screw fitted bulbs. He was duly told that he'd made a mistake and that he had to take them back and get the right ones. Off he went.

He came back ten mins later with the correct bulbs. Then went into the office and handed over 2 til receipts, one for screw caps and one for bayonet.

Turns out he had taken screw ones back and placed them back on shelf before picking up and buying the bayonet ones.

He never asked for a refund!!!!

i cant believe that someone like that manages to live from day to day with no sense lol

A mate I drink with once told me that he was working with a young lad and sent him to the shop for a pack of Marlboro cigs. My mate said to him that if they didn't have Marlboro, get me anything.

I remember when I was given an office junior to take under my wing - she had to type 20 envelopes - I set her up on the typewriter - indicated how to set tabs etc - typed a couple to get her going - an hour later she gave them back to me with all the addresses typed where the stamp should go - I asked her why this was and she said that is when she pressed the tab key thats where it had landed. I was speechless !!!
rofl, great stories!

A friend of mine worked for in a builders yard, and they once took on a 17 year old apprentice. On his first day he was dispatched to the local chippy to get the dinners for the rest of them and some money with the words "and get something for yourself", he went via the local market and bought himself a shirt.
HAHA! I love it B00

lol.

Im going to have to pass this on to Mr CRX, it should make him smile after a very tough few days :)
BOO - I have just spat my lemsip all over my keyboard - ha ha ha
Perhaps the Lad was too shy or scared to say something.
years ago I worked in a large engineering workshop and our apprentices were sent to the Technical College for mechanical training. One lad got lost and ended up in the catering section and rather than admitting he had made a mistake spent the day making small buns. Worse still he later told his mates what he had done.
Just thought of another one, a few years ago Mr Boo was nipping to Tesco and asked if I wanted something so I said "yeah, get me some mints for work later"....he came back with a pack of minced beef.
