I went out to the garage, got in my truck, started it up, looked in all 3 mirrors and backed into the door. :smiley_aafz:

LMAO! I did that too!!

One my wife doesn't let me live down:

One day I hooked up my 16' car hauler; I was in a rush to get it all hooked up - lock? Check. Chains? Check. Lights? Check.

Got in the truck, put it in drive; felt like the brakes were dragging real bad. Looked at the brake control - nope, no errors, looks fine - let me test it. Yep, works. Brakes hold. Now try to drive again. Feels like something's caught, I'll just gun it, maybe it'll work loose!

I had left the jack on the trailer down and dug a trench with it all around the yard.

My wife comes out and says: "Do we have a mole or something?" :laughing:

I had to replace my jack when I did that. The wheels broke off.

Recently did my first cartridge oil filter change, was pretty proud I got it all switched out no mess or hassle, cleaned up and throwing stuff in the garbage when I notice a rattle in the filter box. Adapter kit I needed for that engine and new seals in the little baggy in the bottom. That could have been embarrassing, and it did take a lot of time to get everything back out and swap that filter again.

Reminds me of what happened to a coworker's B-I-L. He drove up to a stop sign, stopped, looked left..looked right..all was clear so he gave it snus and promptly rear ended the car stopped in front of him.

I remember back when I was replacing the cam in a 350 Chevy small block. I had the intake on and all sealed up nicely and everything and I was quite pleased with the speed of assembly I was making until I went to adjust the valves. For some reason I forgot to install the lifters and push rods.

I was in my new shop to change the oil in my F-350. Got the oil drained, put the new filter on and then turned a 1 gallon jug of oil into the funnel. All of a sudden, I hear this loud spilling noise! Must of had at least 2 quarts in by that time. I had forgot to put the oil pan plug back in! :smiley_aafz:
Had a nice big stain all over my new shop floor.

I changed the oil on the car, everything buttoned up then started it and oil sprayed everywhere because the gasket from the old filter was stuck on the engine.

Target practice with my TC Omega.

Replacing water pump on my Mothers old Merc station wagon. It was loaded with every option they had back then. Remove radiator and a whole bunch of various brackets, arms, etc. to get at the water pump Pump replaced and proceed to put everthing back on. Got down to the last item (power steering pump if I recall) WTH!! No bracket...and guess which part had to be installed first.
