Awkward moments at work

[kb76]

What are your most awkward moments while on a job? 2 of us on boiler change yesterday, nice couple in their 50's, nice house etc. The wife tells me she's going out now followed by "my husbands leaving today!" Didn't really know what to say and thought I won't mention anything to my mate till we're done and discussing the job over a pint in the local pub later. An hour later the husbands telling him the same thing as he's packing his things into the boot of the car. We finished the job, neither of them there, we had to knock on a neighbours door asking if they had a key to lock up...strange day!

1 of my brothers was working in a factory last Monday. Guy in the office had a heart attack dropped dead. Poor lad couldn't be revived even with defibrillator and paramedics.

Refilling a system. Thought the bloke was the only person in the house. Walked into a bedroom. Curtains closed. Pinged the light. Naked woman sat up in bed. Did avert my eyes. After a good gawp. Apologised. Filled the rad and moved on.
