I just did something really stupid but funny

When I moved into my flat a few years back (a new build) the first thing i did was unpack the kettle and go to make a cup of tea.
I ran the water for a 60 seconds hoping to clean the pipe out abit and slowly realised that my feet were getting wet, turns out the pulbmer who had finished off my place had been on a friday afternoon job and hadn't put the U-bends on anything.
It was just a good job I hadn't had a bath or shower first or the downstairs flat wouldnt have been happy.
They came round and fixed it the same day so no real harm done but I wasnt too happy and spent the rest of the day checking everything else I could think of incase of other traps left by the builders.

That would drive the mrs round the bend if i ever did that lol
lol plummface.
A friend of mine many years ago had an air rifle. I recall the day he thought it would be a great idea to do target practice in his garage.
He fired a shot, it rebounded off the back wall and smacked him in between the eyes!
Funnily enough, I did that too, I shot a hard cardboard tube -the inside of a farming black wrap roll. Think toilet roll, but 50x thicker, the pellet was lodged in my forehead
I was a crap kid
I really dont know why but 'bendface' is really amusing, i second the name change!
Ive done the exact same thing though!
I think one of the stupidest things i did was while drunk i wanted to know if the fire was on, the fire was one with a glass front and my method....to place my palm on to it.
Fair to say this left me pretty burnt for a few week!

Spent 10 minutes searching the cupboards for my morning coffee today. Found it in an unusual place... I must have put the coffee jar in the fridge along with the milk yesterday morning. Left the house without my morning brew 
Accused the wife of binning it too
Accused the wife of binning it too Did something similar round my parents, my dad sorting out the piping below the sink in the kitchen and when I popped over I said I'd give him a hand. We had nearly finished and I decided to get rid of the dirty water that was in the bucket using the sink, not knowing that he hadn't connected it all back up
Haha when I was a kid I was trying to blow up an aerosol with an air rifle. It wasn't exploding so I got closer and closer then one shot ricocheted and caught my right nut.
I went down like a sack of bricks lol. No damage done but enough to rattle me.

Did something similar myself a few weeks back. Had the U-bend apart trying to unblock it, thought I had done the trick, put it all back together but then I realised all the water had run in to the washing machine instead. Shame there was still a blockage when I put the washing machine on drain program
