Your worst at work fuck up.

Tell about your worst fuck up at work.

I was at a nursing home installing magnetic door holders which let the doors shut during a fire alarm. These were floor mount holders, so before drilling, I looked in the crawl space and there was nothing anywhere down below that area. Drilled the big hole for the wires, and I had to drill 4 smaller holes to mount this thing to the floor. When I drilled the third hole, a big puff of dust shot out the hole when I broke through the first layer. So I pulled the drill out and the bit was literally melted off on the end. Here there were wires INSIDE the concrete floor. I'm lucky I didn't get shocked! It took out 3 circuit breakers. The electrician showed up to put 3 new runs in. He turned the breakers back on and they never retripped so he left it go. The boss man wasn't too happy about it though.
