Random Irritations

Putting the car into drive instead of reverse when there’s a 70ft drop in front of me. Thank god for a solid fence post well concreted in.

Worryingly, after 45 years of accident free driving this was the 3rd incident in 3 months. Bumpers, back & front, looking a bit battered.

Scary stuff. Hope you’ve changed your underpants 😬

Guy at my old golf club did that - drove into the pond...

Maybe just complacency and this scare will get you more focussed when you start a journey. Last week I put the teaspoon in the bin and my yoghurt put in the washing up bowl...
 
I feel your pain.
I once fitted a 3metre roller blind outside recess. I used my small spirit level as I was feeling too lazy to go out to car to get a longer one.
I got a call that night from customers husband to say blind was not level.
Turned out he was a carpenter and told me I was 11 mill out. He let me use his long level as I refitted it.
As he pointed out, "The wider you go the further out you will be".
Lesson learned! 🙄
Luckily the drift was only about 9mm over the length of the cut. So I can re-cut and only lose 18mm which the client is ok with as I did suggest the units were slightly oversized to begin with.

Just annoying that I did didn’t notice it, looks like the square has been damaged in the last week as it was bang on this time last week cutting MDF sheets. Just decided to wait until I was cutting the expensive stuff 🤦🏻
 
Who's house?
There is a squirrel currently banging his head against a wall right now.

Okay, the main characters in the film are called the McCallisters. The Macually Culkin character, see earlier picture, is called Kevin McCallister. Their house is huge............

See the film, please, for all of our sakes 😭
 
There’s lots of nutjob theories but the one I think is most likely is that it’s not real and they live in a big house because the film would only last 5 minutes if it was small.
