Starting something you couldn't finish
Finnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

Websites
Or to be more precise, my own one.
I work as a graphic designer, and in my strange desire to eventually work for myself and own a big shiny graphic design firm (ideally where large chested women handle photocopying and I get to wear a suit) I have produced a fair few personal designs.
It'd be fair to say that I don't have a lot of free time, so when I do get to work on my own stuff it's usually a bit here and there. Unfortunately this means that by the time I'm half way through a design, I've got bored of it and started a new one. The result being that I have at least 20 personal websites in various states of completion. Goodness knows if I could put the same effort into one it'd probably rival whatever the mecca of webdesign is right now, but my gerbil-like attention span means I never quite end up happy with them.
Of course it does mean that when I do the paying work, I've already realised what works and what doesn't and can save time faffing about on loose ends.
Now...time to see if prototype #31 can be fixed...

You're me! That's exactly what I do. I do the design and then by the time I'm halfway through building the pages, I'm sick of the sight of it and then start again

But if I'm you...
...then are you me?
More importantly are you the one who ate all my maltesers?
