I was laughing today when I told someone I was helping a person running a farm one Summer. I was cleaning out and around a fridge freezer chest, like the top of it.

I was laughing today when I told someone I was helping a person running a farm one Summer. I was cleaning out and around a fridge freezer chest, like the top of it. Some of the water from my cloth ran down the back of it and I could smell the burning, it had touched some of the electrics. I hadnt thought of turning it off as I was just cleaning the lid of it. I tried to switch it off but it gave me an almighty shock. I ran as fast as I could to get home. The next morning I got a ballocking from the lady who owned the farm and said it was lucky that she didnt lose £1000 worth of meat in the freezer. All was well, phew . What stupid things or funny things have you done in your summer jobs?
