Great stories everyone!
A situation came to mind regarding a co-worker doing side jobs.
This guy hired one of the company's new helpers to assist with a Residential side job.
Long story short - the helper got stuck in an attic, wedged between some kickers I think.
Co-worker kept hearing this faint voice calling out:
"Help Me, Mr. Home Owner!", "Mr. Home Owner!!!, Can You Hear Me???!!!", "Mr. Home Owner".
After finding out what's going on, tries to pull helper out of attic. Pulls helper's boot[s] off and plunges through the lid!
911 finally called out to save the day - end up thrashing the lid even more!
Although this situation really sucks and isn't a laughing matter, I fell to the floor and couldn't stop laughing for 15 Minutes!
It was the "Mr. Home Owner" thing that killed me!
To top that off, the Apprentice working with me had my stomach in knots every time he would go in attic spaces or on top of Safe Deposit Vaults.
Every few minutes "Help Me Mr. Home Owner" was heard either over the radio or across an open Plenum ceiling space!
All Ladders had the guy falling off the ladder saying "Help Me, Mr. Home Owner".
Man I am so glad that for once wasn't me!
Scott s.e.t.
