I started my new job today. My boss handed me a fiver and said "First things first, I need you to go down to the hardware store and buy me a glass hammer, a skirting board ladder and a bubble for the spirit level." I laughed and said "Do you really think I'm that stupid?" He laughed .. "What do you mean?" I said "That lot is going to cost way more than a fiver!"

When I first started working in the bike trade I had to phone the main distribution centre for a bag of compression. 👍

A fully "qualified" spark was once asked to go and find the "Unistrut bender".. he spent an hour looking for it. Tyre nails were another one along with greenhouse bricks. Holliday home matches were popular once in North Wales...

I went to a Tesco years ago with no fridges working when I told the area manager I couldn’t get them going because the main red phase down
He asked me why I didn’t carry them in my van🥴
