One of my many, many temporary jobs was looking after the pool at a holiday park. One weekend I had other plans and so decided to just put extra chlorine in, thinking it would be OK for the weekend. Returned to work to find a green pool and angry parents of kids with white hair.
They also paid me off so I didn't take them to a tribunal for unfair dismissal (because I wasn't trained in pool maintenance, like at all) so I count that as one of my wins in life tbh

My bad but I giggled out loud at this. Thanks for the laugh and glad it worked out for you. They should've given you proper training.
