I know the worst stuck has been done before but There is us new guys that got some more. I love these stories! Here is mine...
I used to plow the lot where I work. Up until this point I always was able to plow before the store was open or after it was closed. We dont get much snow here and when we do it is usually a couple to four inches. One morning it was snowing when I woke up so I was able to plow before the store opened at 9 am. I then went to work for the day but it kept snowing all day, not too heavy but enough that my boss thought I should get out there and do the lot again. The lot is basically the shape of a horseshoe with the store in the middle so it is easy to plow I just windrow from the building out to the edge of the grass. Towards the end of the lot at the front of the store the lot is a little narrower and by the time Im out that far I have a pretty deep windrow and a good stack of snow going. It is hard to tell where the edge of the pavement is. On my last pass I come to the end, stack the snow and back up only to get caught in the windrow and pulled over to the side off into the grass. Well it was grass but over the summer they tried to dig in a big tank to test jet skis in right there and in the fall they took it out and had the hole filled back in. So Im stuck with front and back left wheels buried up to the hubs in the not yet frozen ground with both axles sitting on the edge of the pavement! A fellow worker tried to pull me out with his Toyota but couldnt find the traction. We had to hook a Dodge to his truck to pull mine out. In the process I got wet,muddy, embarrassed, and broke a hub. BUT it was still fun cause it happened plowing!
