this didnt happen to me, another tech relayed it to me. not really an oops, but its funny. If you've ever changed a HP 4000 tray 1 p/u asm separation pad asm, you will understand perfectly.

Tech in an office replacing the sep pad asm, there are 3 pressure springs that sit under it. 2 little ones 1 big one. anyway, one of the springs bounced out. The tech began looking all over the place for it. After about 5 minutes a secretary who had been watching him said, "are you looking for a little spring?" holding up her fingers to describe to him how long it is. "yes, how did you know?" he replied. "because its in your beard," she answered.

Hilarious! They always end up in my pant-cuffs or under the exact center of the machine.

I wasn't going to use the second hand stories, but you started it.

A co-worker of mine was complaining bitterly that a customer of his had stolen his flashlight. Not borrowed or misplaced, but stolen. He just could not let it drop.

At this company our office girls did quite a bit of phone diagnostics. The same customer called the next day with a call for "won't duplex". Our office girl had the customer pull out the duplex tray, and what did they find? A flashlight.

In my first few months I had been out in the field to replace a worn out fuser in a Toshiba 2860, I removed the fuser and returned to the shop. carrying the fuser in one hand and other parts in the other hand I reached out to open the door. I must have shifted the weight on the fuser incorrectly because it's metal edges sliced through my hand, fell on my knee, slicing open my pants and knee and then falling on my foot. The fuser was Ok! but I was bleeding like I'd just taken a bullet in the leg and my hand was gushing everywhere. It was then I found out just how poorly my employer at the time had stocked his first aide kit.
