Well its taken me a good hour to calm down and gather myself, after what happened, I appreciate some might not think its funny at all - but I did and so this is why I will tell you......

I was clearing out the fish tank - ready for the house sale and the move abroad in a few months. Parents put the fish in their outdoor pond, so I had to empty the water and clean the filters, to get rid of the tank etc etc..

I was using a syphon to get the water out of the tank into a bucket, then had the front door open and was walking the water to the bushes. After the 3rd bucket, I couldnt be bothered to walk anymore so was getting to the door and throwing all over the bushes....

When I got to the last bucket I got to the door and just threw it like the previous two, however I didnt forsee that the man putting the little SCOPE collection bags outside the door had just leant down to put ours there...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHH

Direct hit everywhere, the complete contents of the bucket ended up all over him. I said "I'm sorry do you want to come in and dry off or change ?", whilst trying not to laugh, he then turned to me hair dripping, body drenched and replied with "No, I think I will just go home" .

I was trying not to laugh at him as I did feel awful, I was holding back the laughter with tears streaming down my face. I shut the door and laid on the floor for a good 10 minutes crying and laughing uncontrollably.

Seeing him arrive home drenched wet smelling of fish obviously wont be funny at all.....

I need to stop typing now as I have started laughing all over again.......

Poor man, don't you feel really guilty ?

Thank you for that Nick

That is just the kind of thing I find very funny, I can imagine him now and wish I had been there.

Karma to you when I can give it.
