It seems to me that I receive more than my fair share of amusing occurances.
Often I am the fool, sometimes someone else gets the honour.
They will all be documented here for all to laugh at.

Lorry arrives.
I ask who he is looking for.
He sais Kalarev (my neighbour's new nickname).
I show him where Karaver is, he goes there.
After 20 seconds Karaver calls asking if I can help them unload a pallet.
I accept.
Through the phone I hear: Karaver: Please go to our neighbour for unloading. Driver: Go back there again?!?!
Lorry comes back.
Our forklift is an indoor battery CAT(erpillar) reach truck.
It is raining.
I instruct the driver to back up so that we can unload him from the back inside the warehouse because our CAT doesn't like to go outside when it is raining.
He protests saying that the pallet is heavy and that we do not have enough power to pull the pallet to the back, so it is better to unload it from the side.
I inform him that with my muscles I can move the pallet (by pallet truck).
I tell him that in that case he can leave, because I am not willing to bring the indoor stacker outdoors.
He understands that I want to unload the pallet outside of the yard, so he parks outside our gate positioned for side-unloading.
I inform him again that our stacker does not go outside.
He understands and backs the lorry into the warehouse.
We lift up a pallet-truck.
He starts pulling on the pallet and I inform him that the pallet truck can go in from the side of the pallet too, so no need to move the pallet by hand.
I try to turn arround so that I can move the pallet truck out from the pallet in order to unload the pallet using the stacker.
Lorry driver protests again, telling us that we should not turn around and that we should instead unload the hand pallet truck by hand.
He unloads the hpt by hand.
Fun.
