LOGIK's stories reminded me
of these two (how i forgot i dont know):

* filling up the car with petrol for the first time (ever). for some reason they dont teach this kind of thing when you're learning to drive - i reckon they assume it's so easy no one needs teaching. i didn't put the nozzle all the way in, just stuck it in the hole and squeezed. a delightful backwash of petrol shot out of the car and soaked my jacket, which was a relatively heavy combat jacket, just the type to hold that petrol smell ... it reeked for days.

* Gold D of E exped 2005, holding a fence gate open for the rest of my group, and BAM! i got electrocuted. seriously, who electrocutes a fence on the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere with no animals for miles?
