This is a question DIY disasters

I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.

Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

This is a QotW answer I'm pretty good at DIY
I think my biggest disaster was in B&Q. I knocked over two tins of paint in separate incidents, in the same visit. Both of them popped open and spilled. I made a grovelling apology after the first one. I delayed telling them about the second one until I was past the tills and in clear sight of the exit. I didn't go back to that branch.
