More than once (many years ago) i have left the ten pin bowling centre, walked 1/2 mile to train station. Got train 10 miles to hometown, and walking in the door being greeted by my mother "look at your shoes you idiot"

Yep, I've done that on a sump plug on a Talbot Horizon, I think it was.

Have I ! undone the sump plug, no container ready' god knows why,grabbed a small tool tray, slung it in place, and realised within 2 seconds what was happening, jumped up, ran too my garage only 20ft away.
I'd forgot i had a broken spring on one side of the garage door,so sometimes it creeps down, it did, i hit the edge whilst sprinting, hit the floor, rolled over a few times down hill towards the car, lifted my head still dazed, to see a really good oil slick
Her indoors wasn't happy

Everyone has surely emptied the sink trap, into the sink above, surely? Also spent several hours, trying to work out what I'd done wrong when doing some electrical work, only to be told there was a power cut.

I meant to tell my class of 15 to 16 year olds that a particular tropical disease, (cant remember which one), was passed on by a tiny organism!
