Forums > Social Discussion > Stupidity or just Bad Luck?

Just a quick discussion I felt like bringing up, although this thread will certainly embarass me and I'm sure it won't be many posts before many are laughing at me for my stupidity but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Last night at work (a bar for those who dont know where I work) I made the third of a big big stupid mistake which is pretty much causing the rumour at work that I'm a clumsy goit!

I don't know how many people here know much about changing beer barrels at a pub/bar but basically here's how the story goes last night really busy at work the Carling ran out so I ran down to the basement to change the barrel, something I do about 10 times a week or more so I'm pretty familiar with how to do it . So anyway more or less how you change a barrel is unplug the old one plug on the new one then you have to open a valve to send the pressure through to get the new beer into the pipes, that valve pumps beer though the pipes and out a small run off pipe that you normally havea bucket ready, the moment beer starts coming out you know the pressure is through so you can then turn the tap off and get back to work.

Well here's where last night buggered up! Basically I left the run off tap running....for about an hour, when I went back down there was Carling all over the cellar floor. Luckily my manager is ace and was just like its ok accidents happen. Now I'm sure I turned the valve off but no one else did anything so I guess it must have been me, how stupid!

To make the situation worse as I said earlier this was the third incident where my clumsyness has caused problems for the bar, While serving I've by accident broken a glass firdge door....twice. About a year ago, thena gain about 4 months ago, those fridge doors cost about £350 to fix so two fridge doors and now this beer pouring all over the place.
Seems like lots of clumsyness but I just seem to be having bad luck!

I was jsut curious on other peoples views on 'bad luck' or is it simply people not being careful enough etc

Now I wonder how many people will have a good laugh at what an idiot I am

Take it easy.

I'm off to work soon, lets hope I dont screw up again tonight
