just for a change, as the title says. anyone had a bad day or a really good day or a bad/good job they would like to share? think a post like this one has been done before but nobody ever seems to tell the good bits.
 
best day, getting paid from awkward customers and dodgy builders, sorry about being cynical
 
Broke an outiside dodgy stoptap and had push down on the key for 4 hours till aquaforce turned up!
 
worst day for my mate ,large manhole filled to the brim ,fixing rods to gether ,steps backward and disapears into 12 foot deep manhole ,not at all happy when i got him out
 
Working on a backed up toilet in one of the local brothels, cut a 4" soil pipe and got atorrent of sh**, pi** tampax and used condoms. Ran outside to be immediately sick on the pavement. Next door was a nice little bistro on lunch service, manager there wasn't too happy as I remember. Ah, drainage work-now why did I ever give it up?
