Is there a common time in your life for things going wrong? Sorry, just a rant!

[LKSF]

In my life at least, if it's going to break, snap, go up in smoke, fall off or just give up the ghost it's in the evening.
Every ****ing time!
I'm far from normal so start late and finish late and it's guaranteed it will get stuck or break at between 5pm and 7pm Monday to Friday. That's if it's a relatively easy fix - like walking home and leaving the bloody thing steaming in a pond of mud or whatever.
2 days ago the microswitch on the digger popped open and the whole thing ground to a halt at 6pm. What was I doing? Pulling the chuffin' dumper out of the mud it had sunk in at 5.30!
Tonight I heard that clunky rattle as the track fell off the digger in a field somewhere. The time? 6.30pm
If it's really bad and needs new parts it'll be Saturday or Sunday evening.

I've never once had anything break in the morning!

You haven’t been messing about with mud and machines for long enough then - you’ll definitely get things breaking at all times of day if you put enough effort in!

 

[Smiffy]

It's a conspiracy theory it always goes wrong when I'm on a promise!!! 100% guarantee it will go great and I'll be home early 1 week a month

It doesn't matter what i'm doing, it breaks at the same time, every time. I'm cursed!

Usually Friday afternoon when I’m trying to get a plumbers finish something goes wrong .
I hate looking for live services after 3pm on Fridays. That’s tempting fate .

when working with my plumber and its 330 friday afternoon,we have a knowing look ,before cutting a live pipe its time to pack up and go home

What you mean to ask, is what time does things go as planned.

Life is fix s**t, more s**t breaks, s**t breaks when it's worst time for it.
Jobs s**t, lifes wank. But we wake up and carry on.

If I didn't laugh at how s**t it was at times I'd just want to curl up n cry.

Whenever anyone says "we'll just .........", it is without doubt the correct time to pack up and go home.

A "just job" doing a connection on a Friday afternoon is the territory of fools and those who've always had nice lives

Stuff needs to break, keeps me in a jobI don’t really care when it breaks, and it’s usually good to leave a nut and bolt without a washer so it comes back for a second go

Sorry, hadn't realised that you worked for a main dealer

 

[DaveDCB]

Obviously nothing is going to break down in the workshop when the heating is on with parts in stock.. always in a mud bath somewhere inhospitable!

 

[Furniss]

And when you've had a good run you know it will be a major failure just to make up for it.

 

[JerryRtilt]

Its all governed by the law of Sod, example, last Saturday i let someone i trust use my tb280, thought i could earn a few quid while sat at home taking it easy, 8.30 i get a call from him, hose gone on the quick hitch

I’ve just had a machine back in the yard for what must have been 6 weeks, doing repairs and essential maintenance. She went out and straight to work, so far I’ve got the engine overcooling and on Friday afternoon a steering ram completely sh!t itself! Both would be much easier repairs sat in the yard! now it’s bollock deep in shite and on site….

If you don't mind I'm going to pilfer that last sentence as my default response to customer 'just' requests in general
