For me I passed my test and on the first day nearly tipped the forklift. I still feel bad about it.

    Backed a forklift into an AC window unit of an office my first day on the job. I was fired by the end of the day and that’s the last time I ever drove a forklift.

      That’s unfortunate. Ive had people do worse things and keep their job.

      Was your next job in a related field or did that event make you change careers?

        I ended up changing careers. I had previous forklift experience working at a warehouse but yeah never went back into that industry.
