That's no big deal, I called him a **** and thats the end of it.

An ideal opportunity to learn about screw gauges and lengths while
sorting them back to their proper compartments in his own time?

Make him find them, sort them by size and prove none are missing (see how
far he gets with the last bit)

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Perhaps he was cleverer than you think. You call him a "****" because he
made a mistake [1] and then he deliberately upends the box just for
fun...and calling you a doddery old c**t (I know that they're usually
useful, but...) Did you pick the screws up BTW?

[1] Have you never made a mistake, been ham-fisted or simply careless
Adam? Or have you been the master of perfection since the day you were
born?

If you say no and yes to those questions in that order, then you really are
a bit of a fibber. (Me being polite here)

Think back to the stupid things that you have done since birth (including
your apprenticeship (presuming that you actually had one and weren't born
ready-trained to play with wires) and give the 'lad' a break. ;-)

From one getting a little uninterested of the continuing (and probably
exaggerated) "all apprentices are ****" saga.

Ah, obviously not engaging brain before acting.

Purely as a point of interest, pig **** is not thick, as you'd discover if you ever stepped on the thin hard shell it develops when piled up outside. Don't ask me how I know but I can tell you it is the most foul smelling product you can imagine.

A pun or pune is a play on words whereas a euphemism is a large brass wind
instrument.

As a lad I worked on a pig farm and can confirm their **** was solid lumps
easily shovelled away from the pen (at half a crown a day)

Years ago we asked a YTS to sort a box of mixed screws and bolts, he sorted them into large and small, not quite what we had in mind.

Human **** left overnight in a locked room in mid-summer also develops a

I don't think that calling him a clumsy **** for doing what he did is
unreasonable. I did not shout or scream at at him. Consider it a term of
endearment. It was the end of it. I'm a screw box down and he did not get a
bollocking - accidents happen.

It matters not if he deliberately emptied the contents of the box. I swept
them into a carrier bag and he sorted them out into the new box in his own
time - every clip, every screw and every crimp.

As to have I ever ever made any mistakes, been ham-fisted or simply
careless. I am surprised that you needed to ask. I often post examples of
things that have gone wrong when I am at work - it's just there are more
apprentice mistakes than Adam mistakes. OK?

Never smelt that:-)

One of the worst smells I have smelt was from a decaying rat in a loft one
scorching hot summer.

The second worse was the house with 3 dogs in the bedroom where I needed to
lift the carpet. There were inches of dog**** on the floor. The owner said
"no problem" rolled up the carpet and threw it out the window. This was a
rented property!

Or mayby the chicken factory. I could not eat chicken for nearly a full day
after working there.

As an aside I was the only one that was prepared to work at an Halal
slaughter house. And I mean working on the electrics - I was not asked to
have a go at slitting animals throats. I was also given strict instructions
not to order a bacon sandwich for breakfast:-)

The slaughter house was an odd smell but not a nasty smell.

When I was an apprentice I broke the shaft of a hammer. The hammer was
owned by the heating engineer who was training me.
I was scared of him and chucked the hammer under the floorboards. He found
it.
