Slight (as in complete) RP
When I was a nipper I had a favourite toy which was this walking robot. It stood a tall 10 inches and had a light display in it's chest. When it was powered up by some batteries it would march forward, stop, then do this light display and repeat the process. Twas not gifted with great variety, but it made alot of noise and looked cool.

One day the batteries run out. Robot noise becomes quiet plastic statue to the 4 year old. Obviously the 4 year old wants this resolved so I bring this to the attention of my father. This was my fatal mistake.

He has a look around the house for some batteries but he can't find any so instead he decided to test out something else. He opened up the battery compartment and connected a spare CAR BATTERY to the +/- points in the battery bay with some jumpleads and some wire. All is ready then dad flicks the "on" switch....

Robot noise went beserk. STAMP STAMP STAMP LIGHTS STAMP SMOKE STAMP STAMP LIGHTS STAMP FLAMES STAMP LIGHTS LIGHTS FLAMES FLAMES FLAMES....
Dad disconnected the car battery but it was too late. The robot had run straight into a wall and was currently burning itself to the skirting. He runs out to the bathroom, grabs a cup of water and soaks the melting circuit person drying it to the wall, a lump of disfigured toy with the smell of plastic death emanating from it.

"Oops....errr...sorry son." says dad, who promptly legs it. Mt mum comes upstairs to find me sitting blank-eyed looking at a black stinking skirting board pizza mess saying "Daddy broke it".

Are you still in the habit
of needing to blame someone else for your own misfortune?

It's a wonder your dad survived long enough to breed

since he clearly has the intellect of a potato. And not a particularly bright potato, either: a potato that plankton laughs and points at.
