Hey, was wondering what things people have fucked up in an attempt to make myself feel better about mine mistakes.
I’ll start the motivation behind this thread, I tried electrocuting myself wrongly wiring up an electric water heater/boiler switch to the LR4 I’m building.
Machine is fine, my fingers are crispy and I can’t wait to start cutting the torsion table tomorrow 
sharing right and wrong wiring.
Ouch! I rarely take pictures of my mistakes so everyone thinks I am always perfect, 
Ryan, you wouldn’t know as much as you do if you did things perfectly.
I tried wiring a kettle heating element to my stainless keg still and stupidly did so in such a way that the entire thing became live. Luckily the variable voltage controller was set low to like 50V or something when I got the through body notification. Still haven’t told the wife about that one.
Sorry, but my first ex-wife is fairly private, and I’ve been smart/healthy enough to not look her up in well over two decades… And her lucky contestant number three(?) took care of the related oopsies surrounding my name on birth certificates that it should not have been. Otherwise, I’d have to go with my own semi-feral (yet declawed) she-beast that I took as an act of mercy during divorce #2…
And, of course, last Halloween, when I terrified my kids with this selfie:
For context, I have had facial hair since the very late 1900’s, and they have never seen my chin or upper lip. The real oopsie was seeing my brother in the mirror until my beard grew back in.
