Hows this for a laugh,
We recieved 2 of our refurbished labs on the first day back this term,(we recieve the other 2 + prep this tuesday) anyway on friday one of our teachers was explaining to his class about the eyewash etc. And as luck would have it the whole eye wash just burst of the wall at the time the teacher was right near it.
Water went everywhere, the carpet was soaked, the roof had water all over it, ten minutes after (we had to shut the water of for the whole school) there was still water dripping from the new heaters on the back wall.
But I had to laugh, the poor teacher panicked and tried everything in his power to contain the water instead of running, looked like a drowned rat.
To rub it in I ran into him at bunnings on the weekend and suggested he now bring a spare set of clothes to school with him on Monday. I couldn't resist!
I even went as far as telling him it was less hassle to use the emergency shower if he was desperate.
We have to take our opportunities when we can, right guys!!!!
