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.

reminds me of my oft-removed toenails
I used to do a lot of training in Brecon, stomping around in all weathers. Being a sharing kind of person, I used to show my girlfriend how cool it looked to pull whole toenails off (long-dead, from blistering, they just took a while to get to the point where they'd slough off with a litte help, and no pain). They always grew back in a month or so.
In hindsight, I can completely understand her reaction (typically violent horror). Perhaps I shouldn't have done this in bed...
