Yeah, that didn't work - your great ideas that weren't

Not me, honestly, my cousin, aged 16. Decided to wash his Dad's car (Daihatsu Fourtrak) for him as a surprise, thought it would be easy to back it out of the garage and back in again. Hit the gas too hard, lost control, drove it though next door's front room window.
I laughed like a drain.

What happened with insurance etc?I laughed like a drain.
When I was about 14 we had a new King Charles spaniel puppy. My mum was feeding it ready brek in the morning (something about puppies being fed three times a day don’t come at me I have no idea or desire to know).
Anyway, this one day she was late for work and told me to make the dogs breakfast. I couldn’t be arsed to make that as I was getting ready for school so I sat eating my Rice Krispies and poured him a bowl full as a short cut.
He went to the bowl, heard the snap crackle and pop which to him must have been mega loud and ran away. Took my mum almost a week to get him eating properly from his bowl again and she still to this day has no idea why

I have similar slippers. I tie wrapped the laces to stop them coming undone.
A very long time ago, my wife bought a pottery duck, about 18" tall. It was hollow and I was always quite paranoid that it would get broken, so one day when I was home alone and bored, I had an idea. I thought that filling it with expanding foam would make it stronger and stop it get it damaged, so I did just that. I then left it sat in the hallway and went out for a couple of hours. When I came back, not only had the duck shattered, but expanding foam was all over the carpet of our 6 month old house. My wife still reminds me of it regularly.

This is without doubt one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life. An 18" tall pottery duck. Inserting an expanding foam nozzle up its quacker and pressing go. This will be the end of me.A very long time ago, my wife bought a pottery duck, about 18" tall.

No respectable PH'er wears slippers.
And it would have been better to tie a double knot surely than faff all over them
Knots come undone, double knots come undone. Drastic action was needed.
That, and hoping the M&S Slipper Feedback Line alerted them to the shortcomings of their laces and they changed them. It was a forlorn hope.

Working on small construction sites the toilet facilities vary from very bad to non existent.
On one site there was no toilet paper so I used Wonder Wipes to clean up.
Now Wonder Wipes do what they say on the tin. They will even remove silicone and oils. They had no problem cleaning up my rear.
The downside was they are not kind to tender areas. I was Very very sore around the old rusty sheriff’s star for quite a while afterwards.

Once dyed my hair black and couldn't get the black dye from my forehead so I found some carpet cleaner in my Mam's kitchen cupboard. On reflection, it did work as it did remove the dye from my forehead, but also several layers of skin. The scabs outlasted the dye!
After a CCF exercise I was covered in camo cream, the issue nasty stuff that doesn't come off. The plan that evening was to head into town and meet some girls from the girls school we were next to for some underage drinking antics. Being as the cam cream wouldn't shift, I thought that perhaps some wire wool would do the job....... safe to say, us guys aren't quite so understanding of skin care as our female counterparts.craigjm said:
