What fails have our forumites witnessed/been a part of recently?

I was just opening a bottle of cyder with my lighter when my hand slipped and I sliced my hand open. It REALLY hurts, and it's right on the knuckle so it keeps opening up the wound when I close my fist. :roll:

Hi, use your other hand, then you will not have to close your fist ;)

Standing in Sainsburys talking away to my three year old nephew like, 'Your mummy's taking ages, isn't she?', and 'So what's Santa bringing you?'

I had completely failed to notice that he was standing there literally pissing himself :oops:

I'm glad I'm not a child any more, it can be quite stressful. Mind you having said that...

Just the other day, an idiot in a VW Corrado nearly crashed into me, because he was driving like a pillock in icy conditions.

Thankfully, we never made contact, and I sat there while he five-pointed it around, shaking my head and muttering "dickhead". I had completey forgotten my four year old was in the back and spent the next 15 minutes trying to stop him from saying "dickhead". :oops:

+1 for the drivers who think that scraping a tiny peep hole through the ice on their windscreen is adequate.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I've just done something quite similar, without the excuse of alcohol being involved.

Pulling a cable through a hole; it was a bit stuck so I gave it a good yank... and left half my knuckles on the brickwork when it came free.

"Ouch" I said.

And from the other thread:

Didn't we have a "What was the stupidest thing you done today?" thread, or was that the old place?

I guess we do now :lol:

Got a bit amorous with the missus too soon after surgery and busted open my stitches. Whoops!

Watching batman, ran up the stairs to go to the loo, started doing my thing and then noticed the slats on the window-blind were moving strangely and they started moving towards me violently.

Next think I know i'm waking up on the floor, pee everywhere with my housemates knocking on the door asking if I was alright.

Yup. I fainted. Out cold for over 5 seconds ^_^
