I once broke a laptop before I'd given it out...

I hope you replace it with an Etch-a-Sketch.

iv had a day for a previous member of staff. gave them a laptop the next morning I heard smashing down the stairs as I was on my way up the same set of stairs to my office I had only just got in. and it hadn't even been 24 hours. they didn't get a laptop after that

Lapsafe broken by staff members, before it had gone into service: BEFORE term had started.

After the first Mrs C wrote our car off on an on-comming Volvo, she was talking to a Special Branch plod at work about the incident. He told her of an incident early in his career attending an RTA where the back of a brand new car was ripped off by a bus. The cars front wheels hadn't left the forecourt.

That wasn't my Dad but he had similar in the front end! He was driving out of the forecourt where he bought a used car, he was waiting to pull out and a car lost control going into him. (if my Dad hadnt been there, it could have been worse as there was a big dip the otherside of the garage).

 

Needless to say he had his car written off and he got more money than the car was worth

Story time?

Story time?

Pretty sure I've told this before... probably in the "what do you admit to" thread.

 

It was about 2006 and we only had projectors and computers in the 3 IT rooms. We bought 8 laptops and 8 projectors to create one kit per department (some shared). We did 3 lots of training on how to connect it up/use it/pack it away, at the end of the third one I picked up the laptop bag not realising I'd forgotten to velcro the strap down and zip it up - so laptop came out, slid along desk and hit the wall. Screen was pretty much destroyed.

 

It went back "damaged in transit".... unfortunately they had gone end of line by then so the replacement was a different model i.e. different drivers.
