Funny start to the morning!

Post by jessthecat »

We had a great start to our monday morning, our 1st lorry arrived 20 mins late, and then he reversed straight into the building, bringing bits of roof and lorry crashing down!!
Pretty sure he was a manager from the mail centre as we hadn't seen him before. We all had a good laugh! It reminded me of when one of our lads rolled a van, then phoned his mate to come and have a look and see if he thought the boss would notice!

Anybody physically injured? Was a full and proper accident investigation done? Didn't anyone think to take any pics?

similar one happened at our office. A guy on a rural hit a tree stump and rolled the van ending up on its roof. He was amazed too see it back in the yard a few days later, Manager got a new wing mirror put onit and said it only had a few bumps and scrapes !

Our lorry was 30 minutes late and driven by someone who obviously didn't drive much :nervous

I would have refused to go in the building untill it was looked at by professionals and said to be 100% safe
