Everyone has one of these stories.....
Work experience, Mercedes garage, aged 13, I was asked by one guy to get him a box of keyholes..... "
mmm... what does a diesel technician want with a box of key holes?"
Fortunately, I had been primed by my Uncle, so asked the bloke foe a fiver and trotted off on a long lunch, via the hardware store.
Came back eating a sandwich, and tossed hime a box of these, told him (whilst stuffing face with said butty) they were £4.99 and gave a penny change
Some other poor lad who started a week before me and was already a nervous wreck, was got with the old
"tin of tartan paint" gag.
"Dont shake it up, or it'll run!"
He came back downstairs craddling this tin that even had a tartan sticker on it, only to have it knocked out his hand.... tears... panic... AGGGGHHHHH
Felt pretty bad for him really
