» Expensive Mistakes

Almost on topic
Not my mistake, but definitely theirs.

Work as a technician/researcher at a cutting edge researchy lab place, big furnaces, relatively clean area so no mess, no carboard, no dust etc.

Got really hacked of with others (re:scum!) not disposing of packaging and putting it all in cardboard boxes- place was a tip.

Someone Reported it and I was told to clean it up, so being a nice bloke and known to do anything for a wage, did so.(while grumbling)

Of course more packaging and boxes and stuff started appearing again, once again reported and this time I was told to purchase a bin.

Not my mess, not my problem, not my money so did I buy a normal plastic swin bin for a tenner?

No- Fully automated stainless steel rigid bin with automatic Infra red top opening sensor* for over £150.

Their mistake - Don't ask me to clean up other peoples mess.


*when it was delivered, found the sensor didn't work-so threw it away. Anyone want a £150 stainless steel bucket?
