"Post something DUMB you did (see my example)"


          

Today I poured A LOT of dry instant mashed potatoes into my garbage disposal - because I'm some sort of idiot.

Needless to say i had to take all the plumbing apart and clean it, and now I'm waiting for a "rooter" guy to come out with an auger to get the pipes in the wall (I have drainage, but I'm worried about what's in there.)

You do something stupid like this lately??

Today my neighborhood experienced a short power outage. I thought I would fix me a cup of tea using the kettle since my stove is gas, but the stove wouldn't lite. I don't know why I didn't put it together that even though the stove is gas it still needs power. That made me feel dumb.

I was cleaning the pantry out and instead of tossing it in the garbage I poured it down the drain. It was really dumb - no real thought was involved.

outlet on the burner.....
Unless super new stoves have some sort of electric powered valve I don't know about.

I know most have electric igniters, but those are usually bypassable.

They stopped at the trap, but from there and UP was just thick mashed potatoes would not come off - it was like glue. I had to take the pipes apart the clean each which involved a lot of shaking and tamping and scraping, and rinsing and repeating.

It took several hours to recover.

its more for food residue, not like actual big pieces of food

you may have one that can handle a lot, but once you get in the habit, you can easily wind up putting something in there without thinking.

It snapped off in the cork, so I decided to shove the cork IN to the bottle with a knife, pour it out to drink and just picked out the cork pieces.

In response to Reply # 0


          

If you have PVC all the way to the sewer (including the big drain pipe) you can use Draino or something similar to clear everything out. Should break down pretty fast since it's organic. If you aren't 100% sure don't use it tho, since that stuff eats away at metal pipes.

I flipped it so it would cook on both sides


Also

I went to a courthouse to pay a ticket. I had procrastinated and this was before online pay was the norm. Anyways I had a weed grinder in my purse. The guard found it and was like wtf? He told me to just leave



Also


Back in the day when I got my license and first car I got lost and was running low on gas. I filled it completely up with kerosene instead of gasoline

...put everything back together. Saw a loose plug that I'm sure was plugged in, but looked it up and it's some emissions sensor. Fuck it, keep putting shit back together because I don't see where the emissions plug goes (probably on the bottom of the airbox where I can't see). Figured the bike would run without it. Get everything but the plastics back on. Go to start, ECU throws an error code. #49. The plug I didn't plug in is needed for the bike to run, apparently.

Now I gotta take all this apart again to plug this one plug in.

Not worse than the time it took me an hour wrestling this new tire on the rim with a set of irons, only to look and see that I installed it backwards once I was done.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Audi A4 needed synthetic oil...
Pre kids I had plenty of free time and a strong "DIY is the only way" attitude....
Saturday afternoon figured I'd knock out that oil change real quick and save some loot at the stealership...

I pull out the jack and stands, jack the joint up, slide underneath and locate the oil plug...pull it out, and let the joint drain while I go off and knock out some yard work. I was feeling quite MANLY that day...

Came back 1/2hr later....
Pull the pan out...

Hmmmm.....thought oil was usually BLACK...the fck kinda oil they putting in Audi's????

Get on the googles...
Yada yada yada....

That wasn't an oil plug...
That was a transmission fluid plug....

FCK!

Trans fluid has to be put in via some weird machine that only the dealership has possession of....

So....

Ended up having to pay for an oil change AND a transmission fluid fill AND a tow to the shop...

>...with the special tool?

To remove the plug that I removed, I had to use a special shaped star allen wrench. It was a non-standard size at that lol. I don't even remember WHY/HOW/IF I already had one on hand or if I went out and bought one for the task lol.. i'm HOPING I just already had one....

So that shoulda been my first clue that was doing something dumb... no way any manufacturer would require a special size too to remove a basic oil plug...

If I recall correctly, the trans fluid on the B6 A4 had to be essentially injected into the car via some pressurized system.

i didnt have a car.
i asked my mom if i could borrow her car to go 'down the street' to the store.
i actually wanted to drive to circuit city to get the Memphis Bleek debut album (LOL).
so, i'm trying to make a 30 min round trip drive to circuit city in 10 mins bc my mom had to go to work soon.
Speeding, my dumb ass hit a curb turning into circuit city parking lot and the tire went flat.
i open my moms trunk to get the spare but my dumb ass didnt know how to change a tire.
meanwhile, she's calling me on my motorola startac every 2 mins. "Where are you!!"

I ended up having to call a tow company to take the car less than a mile from circuit city to Mr. Tire and I paid to get a tire installed.
60 for the tow.
135 for the damn tire.
12.99 for a wack ass Memphis bleek CD.

Got back home and moms was furious. but she was already late for work so she didnt have time to chew me out.
