paid a visit to purchase some lengths of 5x2" from our local b/m

went to the back of the drivers seat to get a bit of rope to tie the wood onto the roofrack of the van.

the rope snagged onto something unseen behind the seat

i pulled harder and could hear an ominous whirring noise followed by an earpiercing hiss, then a large can of bright yellow line marking aerosol paint came spinning out from behind the seat spewing bright yellow propellant onto everything within a 3 metre radius including me the wind screen the seats and on exiting the vehicle on its demented travels proceeded to redecorate the brand new car park in the builders merchants before exhausting its contents and coming to rest around 30ft away wtf :eek:

turns out i snagged the trigger of the makita drill which had a philips bit attached which in turn drilled through the skin of the full aerosoll container sending it on its trail of vandalism.

i'm a bit worried about going back to my local bm now as they now have a lovely new car park which is covered in long swirly streaks of yellow paint.
i cant deny knowledge either as i now have yellow boots, windscreen and van door.........gulp...... :confused: :confused:
