You know, now that I think about it, she might have done it on purpose. Just before she backed up, she said something about wanting to kill that biotch. She has a dark side that's not too pretty.

 

sorry to hear that. I don't have that problem though, couldn't get a lawn mower in my garage.

 

She does have thatevil look in her eye(just one of em) .......JR

 

After years of backing into my carport I could clear the Volvo and the wall and not squash a cat with only an occasional glance in the side mirrors, never look back and never slow down. Then one day... ***CRUMP***, WTF. Now I looked back, checked my mirrors again and didn't see a thing, WTF. Then I saw movement in the mirror. It was my wife standing there with one hand over her mouth and pointing at the top of my truck with the other. I said it one more time, WTF. She had left the pull down stairs open halfway to let the cat out of the attic. Yes it stabbed into the top of the cab. It really wasn't her fault and certainly wasn't mine. Whose fault was it? You guessed right, it was the cat's fault.

 

I had a blue F150 4x4 ORP before my lightning. 2 weeks after I bought the truck, I was hooking up my ATV trailer. Well, needless to say, I backed up too far and backed the tailgate into the tongue of the trailer. This left a 4" scratch down to the metal and a dent underneath.
My wife heard my cussing and swearing all the way inside.

 

A couple months ago I closed the garage door, thinking my wifes Jeep was pulled in far enough, and took a gash out of the bumper. The edge of the handle stuck in just far enough to take the paint off. I paid for that one over and over again.

 

I wish to assert my 5th Amendment privilege...or something.....

 

At least I'm not hearing about anyone pulling into there garage with the bicycles still in the roof racks. I have a friend who did these and needless to say the bikes, racks, roof of car and side of the house suffered damage.

 

I remember one time I was changing the oil in my 97 chevy pickup and I had a phone call with somebody as soon as I got done draining the oil. So for some reason I thought I filled it up with oil and I went to go start the truck and the truck ran fine for about 5 seconds and then I hear this funky noise and the motor just died on me. I thought to myself, what the hell is going on. so I tried to start it again and then I saw the 6 quarts of oil on the counter and I said to myself, "Joe yous stupid as mother bleep bleep bleep, WTF are you thinking about." So I filled it up and it was OK, but that trucks gone now.

Then once with the L I was at US41 and I was filling my resivoir up with ICE and I had to move the truck up, so I closed the hood kinda and drove up. Well I get out to finish filling up ice and I go to close the hood. Well I raced my truck and then I came back to pits to drain the IC and put fresh cool water in there. (it was dark outside) so I pop the hood and look and my cap is GONE! I thought sombody stole it or something at first, but then it clicked in my head. So I got a flashlight and by pure luck when I launched the truck the cap flew back and landed right by the spark plugs and got caught under the fuel rails! What a lucky day that was.

I could go on, but thats about it for now.

Don't feel bad, everybody does stupid chit all the time. Its daily for me, HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Another garage mishap. I have a Supercrew that only fits in my two car garage if I very carefully back in diagonally. I very carefully painted lines where my tires should be so I get it in right everytime. This day, however, I had just assembled a new rolling toolbox and placed it where I thought it would not be in the way. Anyway, as I was backing in, I hear a horrible scraping sound on my passenger side toward the back. I look in my mirror and see the toolbox resting on the side of my truck. I pull out and get out to look, and I have a nice 4 inch long scratch (very deep too) just above my cutline behind the rear wheel well. I fixed it as best I could, and now it is a remider to me how stupid I was. I don't think I'm willing to spend that much money to get the entire panel repainted just because I was too stupid to think about it.

 

Another one of those garage things:

I pulled into the garage in a hurry, and ran inside to get something I forgot...I was already late. No problem so far. When I ran out, I hit the garage door opener like I usually do. I jumped in the L, put her in R, and started to roll. About that time I realized I hadn't closed the garage door when I ran in-- I closed it when I ran out, just in time to back into it. Duh!!!! :o

 

I came home with a deer I just got during deer season. I backed the L up into my garage, raised my ARE lid, lowered the tailgate, jumped in the bed, and tied the deers legs to the rafters. I pull the truck forward a couple of feet, got out and slide the deer the rest of the way out so I could start processing it. i then jumped in the L to pull it the rest of the way out of the garage. After I started moving forward I heard a cracking noise. I realized I forgot to lower the ARE before pulling the rest of the way out of the garage. The ARE latch was in the up position and caught on the bottom of the garage door, snapping it off. Luckily I didn't scratch the lid. It cost me about $30 to get a new latch, which I installed in about 5 minutes. Even though I felt stupid, it could have been a lot worse.

boy what therapy this is, where else can you admit to stupidity and get understanding without "the couch" and "how long have you hated your mother?" for FREE??? (myself included, see my post )............JR

 

This is a very eye opening thread. I had no idea there were so many screw-ups that visited this board. I, myself, never make mistakes.........DOH! (What did you hit me for, Dear?)

Like I was saying, I almost never make......OUCH!(What did "I" do, Sweety?)

Well, sometimes I don't screw up too bad.

The employee parking lot where I work has a metal sign about 5' high designating "Employee Parking" at the end of the lot where you enter to park diagonally facing each other. Excellent place for someone to open their doors(of a lesser vehicle) into the "L"s and put dings, dents, and scratches. In an effort to avoid that on the weekends I would pull in between the sign and the end vehicles staying 4-5' away from the last one. I opened the door a little brisker than usual and it swung past halfway point and hit the damn metal sign putting a 1/4" in diameter gouge all the way down to the metal. You try to avoid and ya cause one. Hard to win.
