Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

Washing olives
I only discovered last year that olives don't come off the trees fresh and ready for eatings. They have to be washed, often several times, sometimes with brine, before they can be eaten (except for one kind, I've been told, but I've not met one).
So all those times I've been gazing longingly at decorative olive trees thinking I could pluck one and eat one, I've actually been planning crippling stomach cramps.
