Come on man....keep it real!!!
Worst 'find' was in an old disabled blokes house (ex navy ironically) really friendly guy, lots of tea etc.
Had just finished piping up a bedroom radiator. Plugged Henry Hoover into a multiway extension lead and flicked it on at the wall. My mate taps me on the shoulder in tears, the T.V and DVD player had come on with the (graphic) selection screen of a gay ****o in full motion...
Never could look the guy in the eye from then on and brought a flask with me the following day!
Found a massive bale of old **** under the floorboards of a house, must have been 30-40 mags, all 70's stuff.
****** in cylinder cupboards.
Moved a wardrobe once and a mag dropped out, I put it to one side. Old guy 70 ish (who had previously declared all the copper coming out was his on a free boiler job and a generally miserable bugger) came rushing up the stairs obviously clocking we may have found his stash, didn't say anything but looking around nervously. He didn't see it and walked off. As we finished up I wondered where to put this magazine I'd found, so I slipped it in between the pile of other various magazines on his wife's side of the bed.

Found that inside a pedestal but British mag from 1970s. Noticed it when I removed the avocado suit.
There's a town in Canada(Newfoundland) called *****.

Only up north would that happen!
The bizarre thing is he probably had to clean the jars every hour and arrange the specimens in size order!

Once found a mouse running about.
Put it in the secretary's desk drawer when she was away making tea.

Was it a worth while find?

That is definitely a northern thing.
Scared the living day light out of me. I left in a hurry, but when she came out all she did was smile at me? The whole experience left me confused. For weeks, I was ''kicking myself'', thinking may be she was after something and I couldn't read the signs? What an idiot.
But then again, only last week a landlord who lives in Manchester asked that I go and provide CP12 for his flat (been doing it for past 3 yrs). The tenant knew I was coming well in advance. When I rang the door bell, she said: ''You'll have to wait a minute, I'm having a bath''.
Two minutes later, she opened the door, scantily draped in a towel. I couldn't disguise the gulp that followed. Then she went into the bedroom and came out a few minutes later with a see through low shirt and definately nothing below? Came and stood besides me asking what I was checking in cupboard housing gas meter? I left that job in a hurry
I found one on a washing machine I'd fitted ;-)
one bird had left a electric toothbrush complete with padding and a durex on it beside the bed obviously didnt want to pay for a rabbit
im still trying to work out why my wife calls aa batteries rabbit food

Fk me. Your slow. I'd have been like a dug wi a bone!
I've just remembered the weirdest find I actually encountered. It was the grottiest social housing house on the patch.
Anyway boiler upstairs in landing cupboard, go to test inlet pressure and stick boiler into service mode, nip into bathroom to run hot water and I am confronted by a set of anal beads lying in the sink? Luckily clean!
Women was a really odd character, must have forgot where she'd left them.
I've got a photo of them somewhere!

I took the case off a boiler once and found the blokes stash in there. Warned him to stop taking the case off the boiler and hide his stash somewhere a service engineer wouldn't find it. The next year I found it behind the gas meter.
Was at a place working on my own and got a transco guy to give me a hand to shift a bedside cabinet. As we moved it it started vibrating, we nearly peed ourselves laughing.

I'd rather not get involved. Personally, I think it's not worth the headache. So you get in there, then there is that dreaded phone call at midnight, her wanting you to come and service her!!! You having to take phone out of room to answer her calls, then ask her not to call you, etc. Couldn't deal with the stress.
As long as my missus is looking after me in that department, I have no excuse to look elsewhere.
And as for the girl with the see through shirt, that job turned out to be the fastest CP12 I have ever done. Probably around 12-15 mins max. Couldn't wait to get out of there
Where was this advice when I needed it??
They run them off the mains round here!
