The amount of time I was instructed to ask supplies people for left handed screwdrivers, right handed hammers, sky hooks, striped paint was ridiculous when I was a youngster starting out in employment

Got sent for a bubble for a spirit level, figured it was a wind up, went to the canteen, got a cup, some water and washing up liquid, made some bubbles and told him to take his pick!

No! You must be spending too much time in Todmorden if you are.

Sent a mates sister to the newsagents for the car magazine, 'Escort'.

Livid wasn't in it when she came back, couldn't believe that when she calmed down she went for a copy of a real car magazine, 'Fiesta'.

Never stayed around for her reaction but my mate said it was hilarious and was a couple of weeks before I was brave enough to go round to my mates again.

We used to get new employees to water the plants in the restaurant I worked at just to see if they realised they were artificial!! I would also send people to the bus station to get my passport photos for me lol. My hairdresser used to send his trainee to the deli opposite for some organic K9P, a delicious drink he'd just discovered. How cruel.

A few years ago I was putting a new engine in a car I had and wrote a list of parts I needed and juicy went to go get them for me.

Amongst the list of usual things like timing belt and oil etc I had put in a long stand, tartan paint, glass hammer and a few other stupid things.

She checked it and the only one she didn't cross out was the long stand. The bloke in the shop got her to phone me up and ask how long. Luckily she saw the funny side.

Also, sent an apprentice to the parts shop for some spark plugs for a diesel.

Worked in a parts shop, and didnt know much about engines.... a mechanic came in and asked for a radiator hose for a VW Beetle... I ended up with three stores catalogs out looking through them... the other stores guys were hid round the corner trying not to laugh as I got more and more frustrated trying to find the part he wanted.... he played me for 20 minutes before telling me that Beetles were air-cooled!
