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.

When I was in tech
One of the lecturers had a glass eye. As freaky as it was it was used to great effect when telling us what not to do.

How did he lose it?

he was tightening his tennis racket with a pair of long nose pliers. Just when he was pullin git tight to finish the job, the pliers slipped off the cord and into his eye.

Apparently he tried to pull it out but it wouldnt budge.

I still feel ill at the thought of being rushed to the hospital with the handles of a pair of pliers protruding from his face while screaming in pain.


Length? well, it was long nose pliers...

My warehouse manager
Has a missing little finger on one hand. How did he lose it?

Taking a knife and fork out of his shirt pocket.

Yes, that's right.

No, I don't know, either.
