    Swopped a live circuit breaker/fuse thing during a theater performance (for lighting).

    All went well but looking back its one of those "holy f that was dangerous" things...esp considering this wasn't a household electrical installation.

    When I was a kid I walked into a total stranger's yard and proceeded to pet the sleeping rottweiler. What followed was a lot of pain as the dog decided to have a bite of my hand. Two operations later I was good to go again. I did manage to miss quite a few days of school, but the pain wasn't worth it.

    2nd place would be finding out my ex cheated on me and then hitting that same hand against the wall as hard as I can, twice. Pretty much shattered my knuckle. Plus side was that I couldn't do my job properly and for 6 weeks I got paid to drink coffee, smoke cigarettes and surf the net.

    The one that jumps to mind happened a few years back our offices had just expanded and I was busy laying extension cords around the place along with network cables. At the time my wisdom teeth were giving me severe problems and that day I was pissed off, groggy from meds and in a bit of pain.

    So without thinking I decide to trim a power cable that's plugged into the wall and already switch on. There was a loud bang and I melted the blade bit of the wire cutter, was I ever glad that thing had rubber handles.

    I then went for a wee wee and got some of it on my woo woo which turned into me screaming for milk like a breast hungry baby. The wife brings the cuppa and there i sit in the B-room with my crown jewels and all cooling off.

    Moral of the story: Check the expiry date on your cans of mace guys.
    Dude thats epic what was your wife's reaction?

    I Spent 8 years on a farm in my teenage years, me and my friends were probably knocking on deaths door regularly making bolt, chlorine and whatever else bombs, playing with fire cooking up smoke bombs, I was a regular pyro until me and a friend were playing with Petrol and water and my brother showed up and accidently got his head set on fire.

    Stop drop and roll does not work if your head is on fire, He got 3rd degree burns, was not a fun time in my life.

    But it all turned out ok in the end.

    I was getting a filter out from an aircon at barloworld and I was dumb enough to be very far from the thing. The cassing of the aircon fell off and I knocked it out of the computers way and then falling knocking a water cooler over infront of everyone also I nearly broke my foot.

    Also I Chased after a lesbian for two years.

    Lost my passion and humanity - to an extent. Mostly it cost me major personal loss and subsequently I literally lost myself through that.

    Younger brother was taunting me when we were younger. I took the bait and chased him. Threw a punch at my brother when he was at the other end of a glas-windowed door, which he locked. Piece of glad lodged in his forehead, I cut the tendon of my right thumb. Nearly lost use of my thumb, but avoided that luckily.

    He never so much as scoffed my way again.
    That's what she said.
