    I then got a replacement 2200+

    My next would be a motherboard i fried, which is also how i ended up with the second 2000+.
    I didn't know i needed risers between the motherboard and the case/motherboardtray.
    When i returned it to the store they were nice enough to give me a new one and let me keep the old fried one.
    Thats a coincidence..same thing happened to me, just after following your famous and extensive guide for tweaking windows ( which I can't find here anymore)



    j/k

    I once fucked up when changing the beer in a pub I worked at and accidentally poured a whole barrel of Labbatts away.

    Didn't you go, "Oh fuck, there's beer in this barrel. I better tip it up again."?

    Having said that, Labbatts is Canadian beer and is thus worth about 1/4 of a normal pint. So no great waste then.

    For that evil deed you should have been incarcerated and forced to eat mouldy cheese for 6 months

    Something like that.

    My manager made me add on a half pint of Labbatts to anyone's bill who looked too drunk to notice. Long story short we ended up with a massive surplus of Labbatts after a month.

    I once broke an AS400. They're pretty expensive

    Luckily, it wasn't terminally broken.

    Was working night shift in an ESSO garage when a can of coke fell on the till key and sprayed into the computerized till, thus shutting everything down,fuck knows how much it cost but it was closed for 12 hours.

    All spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in my post's are intentional.
