I left my mud pan unattended for two minutes to grab a tape measure. Came back to find him about to taste it, saying it looked like cake icing. What's the most bizarre mix-up you've seen on a job?

I always assumed people could tell construction stuff from food. Your helper almost eating joint compound proves that wrong.

Caught my kid about to taste DRYWALL paste, thinking it was PUDDING.
