I picked up my pallet of 800 bottles yesterday morning and as I am driving along Glen Osmond Rd in peak hour traffic I notice in the rear-view mirror that the top layer of bottles is moving around on the pallet so I start to slow down looking for a place to pull over. Then bottles started to slip out of the plastic wrap and land on the road and I had the car behind me leaning on his horn.
I pulled into a side street and stopped and realize there is no way I could secure the bottles to keep going so after cleaning up the mess on the road I unhitched the trailer and drove back to the bottle supplier to let them know how much they f@#ked up, grabbed enough milk crates off them to fill with bottles from the top layer of the pallet and some plastic wrap to secure the rest better.
When I finally got back to work my work mates laughed at me, bloody unsympathetic bastards. Did eventually laugh at it later on after I calmed down.
