I was new to a company & was running a ditch project along with another guy who was a seasoned vet with them. We made long runs of 4 inch PVC. Time came to vac a string. I asked about a rat. He said they didn’t have one & we would have to make one. Made one from plastic bags & took forever to string the pipe. Got a pill rip in & the oroject manager showed up, asking if we had pulleys a rat to clear out any debris. Someone produced a rat. I asked other guy why he said we didn’t have one. He replied “I knew we had one but I didn’t know where it was.” I should have listened to my gut & called someone at the start. Anyone can have a flaky day, be distracted or just not focused.
