Failed ProjectsYou start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

I had an experience of this tooI joined a chicken rehoming project, paid my membership.
They emailed me saying they would contact me on the day of the rescue to tell me where to go to pick up chooks-to-be.
I built a coop, bought a feeder and waterer. I ordered a 25kg bag of layer's mash.
What happened? They didn't bloody well contact me. "The rescue must have been delayed" i thought. But no. On logging on to the website there are plenty of pictures of smug fucking hippies with their smug (if bald) fucking hens. It seems they took my money but didn't bother to contact me. The next rescue wasn't planned until a few months in the future. By that time it would have been midwinter, and not the best of times to bring bald hens to a free range.
The coop is still there in my garden, laughing at me. And let's not even mention the fucking 25kg bag of layer's mash.
Fucking hippies. It's a cliche, but true: Never trust a hippy.

How odd?I did it through the "Battery Hen Welfare Trust", they organise re-homing days and dont ask for any up-front payment. They only ask for £1 per chicken and you pay on the day.
