Reversing into things

Born Idle:
Bollards, lamp posts, fences, gates, cars, signposts, hedges, a helicopter, crazy golf course, a stage with a band playing, a duck, a gypsy having a wee, and a massive yellow church in Hungary are amongst the things I have reversed into!

You need reverse taking of, just go forward.

was it you who hit the Molloy and Sherry owners helicopter in their Dublin yard some years back, the owner used to fly to work in a private helicopter and land it in the yard only for someone to drive into it :smiley:

I was muck shifting with a tipper (no reversing camera fitted) anyway need a break so found a suitable spot on the street . I knew there was a car parked behind , so got out to have a look how much room I could reverse back … Climbed back in cab and reversed back leaving a good 4 foot gap or so (so I thought anyway :unamused: )
ANyway was sat there a few mins on break , a van driver pulls up and says did I know I’ve parked on top of a car :blush:

Fearing the worst I jumped out to survey the carnage :laughing:
One of the chassis rails was just touching the bonnet of the car , quickly jumped in before anyone else noticed :wink: and moved forward .
Just a little dent in the bonnet I did of course leave a note on the car with my phone number . Strangely never did hear anything tho .

Sadly, a written warning at my place.

Was talking to an ex colleague in the week, and he was saying one of the lads at his place parked his car in front of his Daf on a Monday morning, loaded his kit into the truck, fired her up and pulled off. He got about 3 feet before the loud bang reminded him he hadn’t moved his car yet.

A story I didn’t quite believe until I spoke to the man in question himself… Our shop steward was taking his stuff out of his motor one Friday night and transferring it to his car. Once finished he too set off in the unit and heard a loud bang as he hit his own car. The unbelievable part was he claimed off the company insurance (and got it) for the damage! Imagine filling that claim form in!

I don’t think my pride would’ve let me claim.
