Today, while leaving a job site, I put a bundle of pipe on my boss's van, picked up a few tools, and left for the day. He called screaming 30 minutes later to inform me that I didn't strap the pipe to the rack. It slid off the van and hit the car in front of him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while I was backing out of the my work's parking lot, I hit my boss's truck. While he was in it. FML
Today, I snuck out of work 2 hours early. As I was speeding away so I wouldn't be seen, I rear-ended my boss as he was leaving the lower parking lot for a late lunch. FML
Today, I hit my boss's car. It's only my second day on the job. FML
Today, despite warning my boss that it’s dangerous and stupid, he still insisted I get on with putting up a 4-storey tall scaffolding in high winds, and when it blew over, he blamed me for not putting it together correctly. FML
Today, I got out of my house at 6:30am to find that some road workers had dug out a trench in the road right in front of my driveway, then fucked off, leaving their van up the street. There are no buses within walking distance so I missed a full day of work and my boss is pissed. FML
Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML
Today, I was in a car accident on the way to work. I called my boss and told him I had to deal with the police and the accident report and didn't know how long it would take. He got mad and said I "should have picked a better time to do this". FML
Today, my boss flipped me off in traffic on my way to work. FML
Today, my boss watched me get my waistband hooked on a safety hazard in the warehouse. She included it in the safety report. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML

That's the bosses fault. he should've made sure he didn't have a loose load before he went driving that vehicle.

Both are at fault. Always check if your equipment is tied to your car properly before you leave.

the driver of a vehicle is ultimately responsible for the safety of that vehicle, and it's load.

There goes that job! Well, if you’re strapped for cash, I’m sure a strapping, young man such as yourself can pull himself by his bootstraps and get a job.

methinks he should just stay away from straps

People are kind of being jerks about this. You forgot to do something it happens. It just sucks that the thing you forgot to do resulted in something bad happening. Personally when someone else straps something onto my truck I double check it but I guess that's just me

My coworker told me to trust nobody even if you did it yourself always checkt it to be sure

like when a doctor forgets a clamp in you or a pilot forgets to lower the landing gear? Yes mistakes happen, doesn't mean there are no consequences

be more present when doing these things and mistakes happen a LOT less

You stupid ass...

Was it your responsibility to strap them to the van? And isn’t your boss at fault for not double checking anyways? That would be like a pilot going “well, it looked like they filled up the gas tank. We’re good for lift off.”

Your boss is not a responsible driver. As one you should always make sure your car is up to safe standards before driving it. He should make sure everything is properly secured himself.

I had a foreman like this he expected me to anticipate what he wanted without being asked, it stopped when he caught me sitting and chilling and he asked me " What are you doing?" To which I replied "I anticipated that you wanted me to go for an hour lunch" plus this guy told everyone that at breaktimes we had to have one foot on a ladder (construction electrician) and what we were eating had to have a hole in it, so me being the smart ass that I am I sat on a bucket put one foot on a ladder and put a hole in my sandwich, needless to say he was pissed that I called him on his BS then I reported hom to my Union and he got busted down to a grunt like the rest of us and we made sure to give him all the crap work

You should have let him know that you put the bundle there and did not secure it. Better yet, you should have secured it. YDI. (I just hope the people in the car who got hit are okay. You could be liable for any damage and if anyone was injured.)
