Your Most Interesting thing from Work.

Something similar has just been started on the drz forum but with all of 9 active members the thread ran dry pretty fast. However this is the org, you lot are a right bunch of freak magnets so come on, whats the most interesting;
Event, Encounter, Experience etc you've had in your working life.

I don't want "my mate Dave once worked with a guy who..." I only want first hand accounts.

Mine was simple, I work in Civil Engineering so the most interesting thing to happen in my working day was the day I first encountered these freaky little buggers:

(skip to 50seconds to see the sort of thing I saw).
*Disclaimer, not our actual footage but easy enough to find if you search "sewer living blob"

but what about you?!
You public service folk should have some belters!

I once flew a VC-10 over Oxford

Oh...and landed it perfectly

September used to be interesting when it came time to fit phone lines in student houses, knocking on the doors of houses full of girls at 8am

Thou shalt not use the name Dave in a context which implies it's common as muck

Bet you think I eat pot noodles and work on building sites too.

You make me sick

Used to work in defense electronics, lots of interesting stuff, for me though most memorable was a trip out to a US Nimitz class carrier, the landing and take off were pretty interesting.

Of course it's common as muck, even on this forum we have to number them, mr20046. that's a lot of daves even if you're the last.

I worked in Texas for 2x 1 month periods in 1997, fired guns a lot, went to drag meets, drank virtually every night, was in a nightclub in Houston when it got raided by DEA, got offered a freebie in a strip club within 30 seconds of entering the place ( must've loved my brummie accent).

I could go on...
