This is a question DIY disasters

I 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.

I had the operation to remove one of these
3 times when I was young. the bastards just kept coming back.

These days however, when the bugger starts to hurt again due to the side bit of my nail being vertical (as opposed to the normal horizontal) and growing forward into flesh, I get out the trusty Victorinox, make a careful incision with a blade and wrench the bastard out with the pliers

this has to happen every 4 or 5 months. I can now take any amount of pain in my big toes.
