    Used new-fangled silicone based lube in the shower when it first came out years ago, without thinking clearly… Ended up with a broken rib and missing teeth. That shhh is slick on bathtubs…

    Gamble.

    Gamble. Tried it out of curiosity when I turned 19, immediately lost my $20, never entered a casino again.

      Many pay a lot more without ever learning this lesson. I’d say it was money well spent.

      You didn’t lose it, you paid $20 for an education in why gambling in a casino is a bad idea. It could have been much, much worse.

    In Boston there’s a really low bridge on Storrow drive and there’s signs galore that trucks won’t fit under the bridge and there’s a whole catalog of pics of people who have gotten stuck or “storrowed”

    I’m involved in both cases.

    1. I was the designated trip sitter while my friends came over and got high. One decided to make brownies and being too impatient to melt chocolate on the stove, put the metal pot in the microwave for a couple of minutes. The kicker is that this all unfolded in front of me; we were chatting and I was too distracted myself to give a second thought about metal in a microwave. Microwave survived, kitchen stunk to high hell of molten plastic handles, and the pot was thrown out.

    2. I attempted and failed to seal a leak in the middle of a pipe with teflon tape.

    Saw a farmer walk out of the voting area at the polling place locally wearing an “I voted to Make America Great Again”.
