    Driving today and a guy pulls alongside and makes a few gestures to the back of my van and mouths something.
    Got the idea that there was something wrong with the back of my va, thought maybe something hanging out.
    Pulled over and found the back / bumper a nice creamy colour.
    The Mapei Ecotack had fallen over and i hadn't put the lid on properly.

    A guy I used to work for many years ago was loading up his Renault Espace one morning , when he threw a tin of spray adhesive in the back . It hit a screeding trowel and deposited the contents all over the back of this car !! He was pacing up and down like Basil fawlty, I didn't think my knickers were ever going to dry !! It couldn't have happened to a nicer man !! He was a pratt to be honest !!

    When it happened to me, my mate put a full f44 with a loose lid ontop of a empty drum. No wonder it fell off.
    He never made that mistake again....
    I sacked him

    It looks as though you took a wrong turn into the zoo and got your back doors pushed in by a randy elephant

    My godson/weekend helper precariously placed a 3/4 full f3 tub on a of a part roll of cloud nine at side door of my van. 2 corners from the job, I hear a recognisable thud, immediately pulled over, and it was in my steel toe caps, all over my straight edge, in my tool box and drips all down the road. I screamed at him and it was a long silent drive home. Lol. I forgave him. These things happen ay mate. :D

    Can of spray bursting in your toolbox is a bad one, it gets into all your tools with moving parts and they stop moving. Nightmare!
