Thread for Your General Fuck-ups

[Mike McC]

We all have them. In fact, if we didn't, I dare say we wouldn't be human. We all fuck up, and many times it ends up costing us. Sometimes we get off lucky. This is a thread for both situations.

So, last night, I was kicking back, playing my favorite DS game, Picross DS. I turned off the DS, set it down, and it slid off the shelf I put it in into a glass of water sitting right below. Yaaaay. It did not like that. The fall had turned it on, and the power light was twitching between green and red. The top screen was flickering, and flickered to black. I feared I had toasted the poor thing.

I took out the battery and let it sit to dry out, and, testing it after 7 hours of that, it seems to be mostly functional again, touch screen still fully works, so this time I was very lucky. It's currently sitting in a bag full of rice, to help draw out any excess moisture, so with continued luck, it will be as good as new.

So, what are your near misses/head-on collisions?
