That or the splash from the drain pan

That's guaranteed. If there is a pan of oil, it will find it.

My other great trick. You can only fit an under capacity container under the equipment that needs to be serviced. So you have to be able to screw the plug back in mid change to empty the container.

It never fails, the bloody drain plug ends up in the bottom of a rapidly filling bucket

Hey, at least you know where it is. Better than rolling off into the gravel!

Or you finally get the transmission stabbed after fighting it for half an hour and reach for the last bolt and see the pilot bushing laying next to the ratchet.

One day working on the X-ray 'egg' in steel mill, figured I was done after tightning up the last of a zillion bolts for the access port. Only THEN does my boss say 'what about the gasket ?'
OK, maybe a 'zillion' is off a bit, but 2' round disc with a HUGE number of 3/8" bolts with 1/2" gap between heads.....NO battery operated drills back then either.....just another 2 HOURS of 'fun'....

We had a Mech underground that was shall we say a real PIA. No matter what you did or how you did it, it was wrong in his eyes. One shift I was forced to work with him, and it was nothing short of hell on earth. At any rate, I figured at the end of my shift I was going home no matter what! Then from some where in the deepest recesses of my devious mind came a plan. I picked up some of the bearings he took out and tossed onthe ground,, I picked them up cleaned them up, packed some grease on them, and wrapped them back up, and put them back in the boxes they came in.
Then I laid them on top of the miner head. He was all finished, all of about 6 hours work, and he sees the boxes with these old bearing in them, thinking they were the new ones, and he somehow had put the old ones back in instead. My shift was over and I caught the man trip out,, He tore everything apart, again, and put the old bearings I had cleaned up BACK in. I dont think that loader finished that next shift, and he just couldnt figure out why

I used to just slip an extra lip seal or bearing on the other techs equipment he was working on. I would wait till after he had it pretty well back together and got called out for a service call, went to lunch, bathroom, etc... something internal where he had to take it all apart again. I don't do it to our current tech since we work well together.

But if the person is a jerk.....
