I've shared mine allready.
My father has loads of these stories.
One of my favourites is when he was working in London. He had the contract to fit new central heating to a few tower blocks. He was a cocky git back then and if he had problems from the tenants letting him or his blokes in to do the work, he would simply cut there services off. Everything.
So he did this to this bloke, who was jumping up and down and very peed off. But the job got done.
A couple of weeks later my dad got the gig to do something with the soil pipe. (don't know the details) anyway he sent a letter out to everyone in the block asking them to not flush their toilets or sinks ect between a certain hour.
He was in the man hole, and had unscrewed the joint of the cast iron soil when he heard it coming from the 28th floor.
All he could do was turn his back and pull up the lapels on his boiler suit. He got covered. He reckons the fella must have treated the family to a curry the night before and then stock piled the loo contents as it was un-natural.
Believe me, he was such a cocky git back then he probably deserved it. Would have loved to have seen it, but I was about 9 at the time!!
