I once dropped a basin as I slid it from the back of the delivery van. Only dropped about 12" but went tinkle. I just threw it straight in the skip still in the box, didn't want to look. Said to the driver: 'when you get back, can you order me another one please'. Then I proceeded to swear loudly.

ÂŁ200 gone just like that.
id have given the driver 30 quid to take the blame
 
i once ordered 6 bathroom suites from wickes as they were cheap i think nearly every item was chipped broke or was wrong had a manth of hell running back and forth changing bits never again
 
had been at college about 5 weeks and decided i was qualified enough to change a bath. drained cold water storage tank and removed old bath. The hot and cold feeds did not have any isolation valves so i fitted a couple. installed bath and re-filled tank. this is when i discovered (after calling my dad to rescue me) that 22mm pipe and 3/4" pipe are very different indeed.i had used 22mm olives and not 3/4"!!!
 
My first mess was unblocking a kitchen trap. I disconected it and carefully poured the contents down the sink!
Think about it.
 
My first mistake was on my **** 6 months helping....grinding unistrut.....set myself on onfire......first plumbing mistake bout 3 years in (forgetting stupid drips) forget the name, terrible for that, long trough like urinals concealed pipes behind wall from cisterns air locked.....water turned on 1 week before grand opening.....
 
Got to be honest lads
I did that 25 yrs ago, and every time i take a trap off i have a little laugh at me
