I can have my time wasted more than that.

A couple of months ago I had to drop the job I was doing and I had to drive
100 miles north to swap a broken hand drier in a gents toilets (contract
work and we have to turn up when required).

I spoke to the manager and he showed me the faulty hand drier. I asked him
why the job could not wait (ie allow someone to arrive there for 8am in the
morning do the work instead of driving there in work time) as there were two
hand driers and the other one still worked. He claimed it was H&S, went for
a **** and then never even bothered to wash his hands or use the working
hand drier.

That's a more serious H&S violation!

You don't get these serious technical problems where they provide
paper towels like civilized people...
