Most petty thing you have witnessed on site

Mick Bracewell:
We don’t have the luxury of a power washer at our place as we’re still waiting for the previous one to be replaced which got nicked a couple of years ago. That means washing the trucks and trailers by hand as best we can when in the yard, but it’s not as bad as it sounds as most of the places we go have a small pressure washer themselves or at least a hosepipe. Anyway, at base we’ve been using empty product tubs for the soapy hot water. A few weeks back the CEO (who, for 2 years, has been telling us a new power washer is coming soon) spotted the tubs and came marching over to see what we were doing with them outside of the production facility. When he saw they had mucky water in from washing the truck he completely flipped out and went into a frenzy screaming about how they are against the regulations and if we had a spot compliance visit they’d close the company down :unamused: . One would perhaps think this heinous crime would have been the prod he needed to finally go ahead and purchase the pressure water. No. The next day we were all provided with colour-coded buckets, only to be used for washing the wagons and strict instructions never to use our own product tubs. :unamused:

I just don’t understand firms who don’t want there fleet looking clean and smart,
