I just came into the office to finish up some work and supervise these two bozos I have stripping the office floor and resealing it. Both are Eastern Europeans with a poor, but expressive, command of the English language. The head guy, Yorgi, Yugo or something like that, isn't what you'd call a friendly kind of guy and spends much of his time bossing the other fellow around. The other guy, Ivan I'll call him, isn't all that bright, but tries hard to meet Yorgi's demands.
The floor stripping operation went fairly well, with the only excitement being when Ivan pinched Yorgi's hand between the door jamb and the conference room table as they tried to manouver the beast out of the office. Yourgi's exclamation of. "You Fcuk Donkey!" followed by much angry swearing in what I can only assume is Russian cracked me up.
What really did me in was Ivan's operation of the Industrial Floor Buffer. This monster must out weigh Ivan by 50 lbs and, like a champ, he gingerly swung it back and forth struggling to keep it under control. I think Ivan liked working with the buffer as its so loud he can't hear what Yorgi is yelling at him for.
The noise is too high to concentrate, so I took a break to watch Ivan in action while Yorgi smoked out back. Most of the office was done when Ivan decided to manouver the monster buffer into one of the office cubicles. Unfortunately, he snagged the powers trip and telephone line, ripping computer, monitor, phone and clock radio off the desk. The monster buffer leapt around in the cubicle as if it was possessed, demolishing everything, pictures, files, job packets and a half full coffee mug. Ivan didn't even turn the bastard off, just hauled ass out of the building and I haven't seen him since. Yorgi arrived on the scene with the prescence of mind to pull the plug on the carniverous buffer. Yorgi's so angry he can't get a sentence out in English. I don't think my comment that he better get his wallet out helped any.
I've never seen such instantaneous office carnage. I suppose I should be pissed, but, the look on my customer service associates face is going to be priceless.
Edit: Anyone else ever have something like this happen in the work place. Something horrible, yet devistatingly funny at the same time.

Wiping out phone lines during stripping isn't rare though.
Years ago I was in my office one fine day ...
*Knock knock*
"Come in"
"Hey, you gotta see this"
So, I follow the guy towards the sound of a big old shop-vac.
Round a corner we go and there's the shop-vac, power cord stretched to the max and thirty feet yonder, the cleaner happily "vacuuming" trailing ten feet of disconnected hose.
