Don't take the remote control to school instead of your scientific calculator your mum will wonder why the tv won't turn over. Not me a boy I went to school with.

I can beat this... I am a teacher and at the start of each term, I take my printer from home, to use in my classroom. Well, I was really tired and it took about an hour to realise that I had taken my tv remote into school, in my handbag, instead of my printer (obviously not small enough to fit into a bag of any kind)! It was NOT a good day but the kids must have been as tired as me because none of them even cracked a smile when I told them what I had done!

Don't, when holding the cordless electric carving knife over the sink with one hand and the still-attached blades with the other, attempt to release the blades by pressing the start button instead of the blade release button. 30 years later I still have the scar.

Don't, as you are a keen amateur carpenter, get a bit over-excited about the chance to womble a whole load of quarter-round and other trimming from a very large and tall sided skip.

A skip which you will have to hang over the edge of to order to reach the goodies, and where you will slip and crack your ribs on the rim. Happened to a bloke I know - oww!

my dad put a pan on the stove with a bearing he was trying to remove, he went back in to the garage & forgot about it , result kitchen, front room on fire, he dialled 999 from the detached garage & then realised snoopy the dog was upstairs on the bed haveing her siesta, so he had a plumbers gas cannister in his hand from working in the garage , so he threw it to break the bedroom window for the dog to escape, but it went through the glass , still ignited , landed on the bed & started a fire upstairs as well:T

Lol........oh my god......lol.


I hope the dog was ok.

Always ensure that when you empty a hand held vacuum into the bin, that you don't drop the vacuum and its contents on the floor, thereby removing the need to hoover up the contents once again, and emptying it, before vacuuming what you wanted to vacuum in the first place.

Don't drive your car to town, something you seldom do, and then forget that you didn't walk down as normal, walk a mile home and have heart failure when coming around the corner towards the house and finding your car isn't outside............... it was several seconds of OMG before the penny dropped............:rotfl:

MIL did one better- just passed her test, took car and baby (my OH) to shops, came out and saw her usual bus just getting ready to leave, ran over the road and jumped on. Some hours later, FIL comes home and asks 'where's the baby?' Mum hadn't realised, so they had to rush to the phone box (no mobiles then!) ring grandad who lived by the shops to go and wait by the car while they shot over. OH was still asleep on the back seat, we've never let her live that down!!

Oh and another thing, don't make tea and gravy at the same time. Milk in gravy is acceptable, sugar is not!!

Dont spill gravy powder over your head following a bath and think that it will brush out with no problem.

I was about 13 at the time.

Don't try to change a fuse in the cupboard in the porch wearing a large bandage on your thumb caused by hitting it with a hammer earlier in the day. Don't then ,having touched the fuse become distracted by the Salvation Army Band in the close outside playing christmas carols and ask your wife why she is dying laughing behind you and add the words 'Can you smell burning dear?' We did put him out, when we could see through the tears where we'd laughed so much!!!

Don't try to nosey out the landing window and walk down the stairs at the same time...especially when pregnant!

and don't go on your exercise bike with loose laces...your teenagers will never let you forget you had to call them to free you.
