I am attending a community forum on planning and infrastructure so am spending a night in the big smoke. So far, so good. I go to get the wired mouse out that I brought with, and lo and behold it would not work (shades of the dust on the roller problems) so I flew into Jaycar this morning just to pick up a cheapie to get me through the weekend. No probs, I thought. Got back to the venue in time, pulled mouse out and plugged it it. Cordless mouse, Yes, Windoze recognises it, but I get nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Maybe I put the battery in backwards, nope, all good on that front. So I worked through the day without a mouse. Manage to get back to Jaycar just before closing time and explain to the young man, my problem. He remembered me from the morning. After a couple of secs he pulls the battery out and proceeds to remove the plastic wrap from the battery! Stoopid!!! Moi????????
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

I've seen worse mate.
MIL left the plastic on cheese slices ... naturally they caught fire under the grill.

My son once thought the custom cover for his grandmothers stove was a ceran cooktop......
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

Wife tried to boil the kettle when the power was off. Not too bad, except that it was a plastic kettle, still not too bad, except that she put it on the stove and then turned said stove on, forgetting power was off. Half and hour later when the power came back on.......Lots of smoke, followed by lots of spitzen sparken from the water hitting the hotplate. All she does is ring me to tell me what is happening, no thought to turn everything off and then clean it up. It's a good thing I answered the phone fairly quickly.

My elderly neighbor asked me to install a BIGGER power point as the plug of her new kettle wouldn't fit.
There was a plastic sleeve on the 3 pins of the plug .Lol

Few years back the missus and I were fishing from the bank of the Daly River at Douglas Daly.
A very excited tourist came up to me holding an undersize Barra he’d just caught, and wanted to know if it was indeed a Barra, as he’d never seen one before.
Told him it was, and that he’d have to put it back….and then noticed the lure, that was still hanging out of its mouth.
It was one of those lures that comes with little protective plastic tubes slid over each of the hooks in the treble.
Never did figure out how he managed to hook the damn thing.
