I was working for an electrical contractorWe were rewiring a church, and as the labourer, I had to run the wiring. I was crawling around on my hands and knees in the loft, which was full of years worth of bat shit.

as a plumber's mateI had to crawl under floorboards which was very claustrophobic. Once I panicked and instead of fixing the elbow joint on someone's wastepipe under the sink, I just propped it up with a brick and legged it. Sorry, if I flooded your house.
edit - I also used to clean the toilets in a factory. But I don't want to go into that right now. In fact I wasn't too keen going into them then.

My brother (who was an electrician with the same company I worked for)and his boss were working in a remote public toilet. This thing was pretty damn remote, and had no mains sewerage, so they used a chemical toilet, using the same blue stuff that your parents used for the caravan's porta-potty.
His boss (who is also an electrician, but thinks he's a plumber) connected the pump up and turned the power on, covering my brother from head to toe in blue stuff.
He came home looking like a smurf.

working in a plumbing team...many a time I've had to go down 3/4 meter drains to unblock the rascals.When you do get it unblocked it fills up so quick with human shite you've got to race up the ladder like billy-o in waders,and on more than one occasion me foot has come out of the boot bit and panic gripped me with fear of drowning in excrement.
great feeling when you get out mind.

Bat shit on your hands and knees is nothingYou should try preparing church bells for rehanging by removing bits of aforementioned bells and stuff by lying on your back in the years of bat shit (so it's in your hair and everything)
Worst of all I wasn't getting paid it was volunteer work for the church :S
