Putting my boots out in the sun to air, and then forgetting to bring them in when it rains.
^ I've been guilty of that one before.
If you have a little fan heater sit them in front with the openings toward the heater so the hot air gets inside the boots. They dry out pretty quick.
I just had a message left on my phone from another irrigation company saying they have been approached by the Council to quote on this job and wanted to know where conduits and things were. I am raging right now. The council knows we are all being ****ed over by the company that went bust, and then have the hide to not even ask us if we want to finish it off directly for them knowing we have started it and have spent a lot of money on materials already, and then to give out my number to another company to make their job easier to find things? For them to give out my number proves they know I have started the job and they haven't even got the decency to speak to me.
I spoke to the Plumbing company and it was the first they had heard of it as well. They are going to speak to the council now.
First job today, did all the trimming (40mins), unloaded machine all set to go. Engage blades... WTF? I felt something but feel like the clutch has died. Ok, check fuse's. Nope there ok. Hmmmm Engage deck again, it kinda moving but should be much more. Lift foot plate, engage blades... belt is moving but .... WTF is going on here? Have a look around the machine (scratch head), check clutch and everything is fine! WTF?

Have a look under the deck................... NO BLADES!
I am a fcukin moron and forgot to put them back on after sharpening (and getting side tracked I MUST add!) I AM AN IDIOT!
Lucky that first job was only 5mins away. First job was going to be 20mins away but I changed it just before leaving home!
I have to open gates and stuff at this place and I just took off home to sort my screw up. Get back and owner comes out. "Oh, wife said you were here, but left the gates open. We thought maybe you left because you couldnt get in past the limo." Me, "Um, no........(I am an idiot)............. and I told him the story") I was only gone 15mins! This guy told me "it's nice to know your human!" (WTF does that mean?) I AM a kick azz lawn dude but what? Ok, I am the lawn mowing KING! Ok, I get it! He better get me something for xmas!
At least the blades weren't on up side down! Now thats a sin! Like tipping over a wheel barrow with 12 rolls of turf in it! I might buy myself a carton for my screw up!
Fails in comparison to the above bad days but still, I laughed all the way home!
oh dear Mick...perhaps that should go in the "I work with an idiot" thread. You almost got away with in until your honesty got the better of you.

Russ is my 3rd sisters husbands nephews 5th girlfriends uncles aunties brother! Its in the genes!
First 3 jobs this morning all had locked gates even after Texting them yesterday. Has never happened before with any of these clients.
Reading between the lines me thinks it's code for "I'd like my lawn mowed next week closer to Xmas but am to tight to pay for another mow"
To bad Courty will not have any slots open next week

I've had three of mine trying to stretch out to three weeks as well. I'm going along with it for now because of being away over Christmas but I hope they don't keep trying it in the new year.
