DIY disastersI just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.
Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

Approaching levels of Darwin Award stupidityCut through a live AC cable with a stanley knife - blacked out the house
Got high as a kite stripping paint with some industrial solvents, a defective filter-mask and a pack of Red Stripe - found drooling incoherently on floor according to witness accounts. Smelt like a full-time glue sniffer for a while.
Smashed in the mouth with a pry-bar when lifting flooring
Sliced all the skin clean off the top of my knuckle with a stanley while cutting some lead flashing - tip: if this happens, don't stand up, you'll faint and roll of the roof like a sack of spuds
