Dabz	Will the realDonaldTrump... Disappear:- www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41854482 Actually, I've seen this on building sites a few times, where a bloke gets laid off, and they take to sabotage to get one over on the company! A couple I fondly remember, the first, was in Guisborough, the building was an old stables farmhouse thing, it was a square shape with a court yard in the middle... Lovely setup actually. So, the new drains were in, everything hustle and bustle as you expect, then in the court yard, they block paved it all, lovely pattern type affair as well... Looked well Must of cost a fortune but it was really worth it! Anyway, when it was nearly done, all the sanitryware, kitchen guff and all was was installed, this, they thought was the optimum time to check all the drains, the building inspector was coming and everything. Cut a long story short, they turned the water on, lifted the lids on the manholes to see what was going where, and, nowt, well, up until the point toilets where bubbling and there was water coming up. Blocked... Every single foul drain... Blocked! They tried rods, and there was bits of foam coming out... So they got a camera in them for a peek, and yep, there was stuff in there alright! So, with that, they had no choice but to dig holes all over the brand new court yard to see what was going on. And what they found, well, it looked like someone drilled the pipes, and pumped tins of expanding foam into them, then, buried them back over with pipe bedding! Fucking hell on! I remember it well, I remember Clarky, the owner of the company stomping about the place going off on one with everyone outside, the foreman, Neil, bless him, getting his arse kicked from here to Bombay, and Barry the machine driver coming in giggling saying "Our Sid did that", Sid, in fact, was Barrys cousin, who got laid off after having a pop at Clarky in the office about being docked an hour after being 15mins late in the van (He was driving), but noone else did. Eeeeeee That week was carnage mind, hilarious though! And the second one was a fella called Derek Ford, he was a joiner, and honestly, he was one of them people that just didnt give a flying bollock... Good joiner, but very huffy and a bit liberal for his own good. This was in a place called Byers Green, soon as he landed, it was one of them, arguing with everyone if he didnt get his own way, Les the foreman was a Labourer when he started, but made his way up the chain, which I think is good personally, they tend to see jobs from start to finish, and as such, have more sense then some jumped up knob fresh out of college that literally has no life experience, and generally, harder to work with because, they just dont know stuff and think everything is text book. Anyway, Derek didnt like the fact he was being told what to do by a Labourer, and made Les's life a bit of a nightmare. Les, obviously had enough and asked if he could get moved, so, they shifted him to another site, for a bit, but, he ended up back there, and again, he was at it making Les's life a nightmare. Things came to a head at the Christmas do, Derek, with a bit beer in him was getting brave and having a right go at Les, Les went over and said something along the lines that he wouldnt do anything today, but first Monday back to work, he'll meet him outside the Newagents in Langley and they'll sort it out then. Fortnight later on the Monday, Les, parked up in the van... No sign of Derek, he waited apparently for 30mins then left to go to work. While he was sitting there, Derek was in the office demanding to be moved, now, the contract managers, basically told him they had nowhere else for him (They would've though), and if he wasnt willing to work at Byers Green with Les, then he should just put his weeks notice in and move on. So thats what he did... At work, Derek went up to Les's office, and said that he would finish second fixing the plot, but he didnt want nowt to do with Les for the week, he'll leave him alone if Les left him alone... Les must've thought all his birthdays came at once, so he let him get on with it! So with that, the week past, Derek pissed off about dinner time on the Friday, just jumped in his car and was off, no bye byes to anyone, gear in, his arse in and away... Obviously Les went into the plot for a look, and aye... He'd finished second fixing the plot all right, skirting board was on, doors were on, all the door furniture was there, a closer look though, there was an ickle problem with the doors... Well, do you know how, like, door hinges are supposed to be on sides of doors... Not in this plot... Derek had put the hinges on the top, yep, on the top, the plot had the same doors as a Delorean car! Every door in the plot... 13 or something of them... And the beauty was he had all the handles and everything working as well! That was something else that mind, lol, Les never got wrong or anything for it, because they knew what was going on... But, it was a beauty IMO, they must've been a bitch to hang! Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

steve_ancell	My brother in-law did something similar back in the day. He fitted a steel staircase and landing at someone's business premises, they never paid him so he went back there one night with a wizz-cutter and cut it out and left a pile of metal for them to clear up. He may well still not got paid but the daft twats couldn't get into the premises until the place was cleared and a new staircase installed. This is before I worked for him, it would have been funny to have seen him do that to those scummy toff cunts. I do wonder if they did the same to the next contractor as they did to my brother in-law.

GfK	Mine was a bit more low-key... When I got told I'd been made redundant from Infogrames, I went back to my desk and hard-coded the software I'd written (to track workload per employee) to crap out on 1st April (this was in mid March 2001). Sure enough I got frantic emails asking how to fix it. Always got on with our boss, Tony (he wasn't the one who gave me the boot) so I had an attack of the guilts and told him where I'd hidden the source code. Found out years later from ex-infogrames staff that Tony had fought hard to keep me, arguing that even though I'd been there the shortest amount of time (3 years), it wasn't right getting rid of me as I was apparently the most productive member of the motion capture team - especially when one of the others was getting paid the most but doing the least amount of work, and at the time was off work for three months with "RSA", when in fact he'd pissed off to Australia to meet some woman he met in ICQ.

Jayenkai	I never got a chance to quit, or be fired. First job out of college (during college!!) was part time in a shop, where I grew to be almost like part of the family. I just wound up in hospital for 6 months with a Brain Tumour, and never had a chance to go back!!! Does that count as quitting?!! The shop was owned by the younger brother, who disliked his older brother so much that they had frequent (daily) arguments unless I was there as the go-between.. Once I wasn't there as the go-between, the two argued enough that the younger brother (the owner!) actually gave up, quit and left, leaving the shop in the hands of his older idiot brother. The older brother now seems to have also given up, as he's now leased the shop to some new guys. Not sure what the older brother's up to, nowadays, but the younger brother keeps in touch via emails, and is off working for eon fitting those fancy new smart meters. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I've not got much to tell either. I was made redundant from a business appraisal company, due to the recession (nobody was buying businesses, so our services weren;t required). They called five of us in and told us to clear our desks. So I did. I took literally everything that was on it home; all of it was really expensive shit too. Still have some of it now.
