'work experience' about 10 yrs ago...Whilst I was at school I got put on work experience in a local menally handicapped home, which in itself p!ssed me off because I asked for a placement in IT !
Anyway, the people in the home got paid about £1 a week, for doing inane crap like putting keys round the chain things you get on keyrings.
Needless to say after a couple of days of doing this I got bored, and told them that I wouldn't be in tomorrow because I had a driving test!
So I took the day off, came in the day afterwards, and they all asked me how I got on in my test! I hesitated and said 'erm I passed'...and they all proceeded to chip in money from their £1 a week salary to buy me a 'congratulations on passing your driving test' card !!!
Man I felt bad about that !
