AIBU to shrivel up and die of embarrassment?

[redbusbeepbeep]

I am quite honestly never going to get over this. It was my birthday yesterday and as my partner works away he arranged for something to be sent to the house, along with flowers and a helium balloon.

A few weeks ago we had a leak from the bathroom, pretty bad, leaking down the walls and through our light sockets. The plumber came and fixed the leak, however 2 days later it’s leaking again, no where near as bad luckily as we caught it in time. He comes again and haven’t had an issue since.

Today I’m sat having a coffee and I notice a patch around the same area. Furious I phone the plumber to tell him the problem STILL isn’t sorted and he needs to come back as soon as possible, as I’m meeting friends in another city at lunch time and I wouldn’t dare leave it like that.

Plumber comes, it’s not a fucking leak, it’s the shadow from the helium balloon.

Sorry to laugh but this is pretty funny op!

😀😀

I once dismantled an entire linen cupboard thinking it had been invaded by damp
and it turned out it was someone’s distressed paint technique!

I’m sorry but 😂 I hope the call out fee wasn’t too painful.

Hahahahaahaha amazing 🤣

I was once that person who logged an IT issue at work, got them to come and fix it, and it wasn't plugged in properly 🤣

Excellent!

Thank you OP I loved that 🤣

😂

That is hilarious and the kind of thing I would do 🤣
What was the reaction from the plumber?

I spent 30 minutes trying to start my computer today. Got the IT guy out of his lair. He switched it on at the mains.

I’m sorry but 🤣🤣🤣. We once called out an electrician as the living room light wasn’t working only to find that my step son had turned the dimmer switch all the way down and we didn’t think to test it as we never used it as a dimmer switch 😂.

This has made my day.

HA 😂

Sheepish, embarrassed for me I think! He even offered to double check there was no actual leak, I said he needn’t bother 😂

Who’s heard about the bloke who phoned up Asda customer service saying that he’d bought a pizza. When he opened the box there was no topping. It turned out the pizza was upside. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha I wondered why the presents at the beginning bit was important 😆 this is so funny! I’m sure he laughed too!

Naturally I’ve blamed my husband for buying me the helium balloon

Brilliant 😁

My DM once took her car back to the garage after a service and complained about it making a knocking noise, going on at some length about the fact it hadn't been doing it before the service and all she'd done since was a 12 mile round trip for groceries.

After the garage had removed the rogue tin of beans that was rolling around under the passenger seat she did apologise...

😄😄😄😄 thank you, op, for making me laugh!

Yanbu, its embarrassing, but you'll be alright, hes a plumber, hes seen worse!

Haha

I live alone, and years ago I called the police in a panic as I could see someone climbing in over my back wall (about 50 ft away), it was a dark night, I looked out before closing the curtains and nearly died of fright.

Those were the days when the police actually responded quickly, and they were there before I knew it, BUT I had on my big voluminous T shirt nightie with a fekkin huge Mickey Mouse image slapped to my chest.

To be fair, they went out the back, had a good look around, went around the lane and found nothing.

Dear reader it was the shadow of my neighbour's tree blowing in the wind.

I wanted to move away, but I'm still here.

Not me but a chap at my old job
It was the hottest day of the year (2015) and the cold drinks machine had stopped working
We where getting it in the neck from customers (rightly so) and we where all stressed
Work called out the engineer at great cost
He walked in,glanced at the plug socket,plugged it in and billed them a small fortune
The manager had pulled the plug out so he could check something behind the machine and forgot to plug it back in again when he'd pushed the machine back into place
I won't say what the main manager said but it wasn't pretty

I called my kitchen fitter back as I couldn’t shut one of the cupboards properly. The boxes inside were sticking out. I was mortified!

This is hilarious! Hahah

I once had a whooshing sound in my car when I went round corners, luckily I worked it out that it was a can of WD40 getting squished

Keep em coming you’re all making me feel better
