skirting board ladder
I once worked on a building site where a newbie was sent for a skirting board ladder. He returned with a ladder for a bird cage - complete with receipt.
I also saw a guy refuse to go get a piano hinge.
We went down to the hardware shop with him and got the one.
Just when we got back on site, the boss said
Darn, I forgot the accordian lock ...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
