I was doing some decorating in a friends house and agreed to add an extra couple of sockets while I was there, simple job really shouldn't take more than an hour.
After lifting a couple of floorboards I started laying the cables to re-route the ring, I stuck my arm under the floorboard and pulled what I thought was the end of the new cable.... wrong move. I somehow managed to pull on a live cable that had been bodge joined, to really top my day off it touched the central heating pipe and blew a nice little hole into it.
Some five hours later...... I'd cleared up all the mess and repaired the pipe, but still hadn't done the job I'd started. Don't think my friend was too impressed somehow. Ho hum.
