50 in 50: Favourite Work Story

What is your all-time favorite story to tell from all the jobs you've held?

I don't really know if I have one, and I haven't held many jobs. I did enjoy my first job, which was archiving, or, essentially, taking staples out of paper and scanning them in (the paper, not the staples). It was very relaxing and gave me a lot of time to think.

I think there are plenty of stories of me being stupid at work that are funny. For instance, I couldn't figure out how to work the hot tap, and so spent three years just using the kettle instead. Once I was told how (you literally just have to press down on the button) I realised I was a bit of an idiot. There have been many similar cases of me being a little bit thick.
