The Time I Accidentally Superglued My Socks Together
It was a dark and stormy night, and I was in a rush to get to the office. I had just gotten a call from the boss, and I needed to fix the Johnson report. But as I was rushing out the door, I tripped on the cat and face-planted into the washing machine.
I managed to get up, dust myself off, and continue on my way. However, I had left my socks in the washing machine, and when I opened the lid to retrieve them, I was in for a shock. They were stuck together with an impressive amount of superglue.
I had to be pried apart with a hairdryer and a pair of pliers. It took 20 minutes and a few choice words. The boss was not amused.
The Time I Tried to Cook a Steak in the Blender
I had been watching a lot of cooking shows, and I thought I was a regular chef. I decided to try my hand at cooking a steak. I threw it in the blender with a few other ingredients and hit puree.
The result was a fine powder, and a blender that was beyond repair. It took 3 weeks and a small loan from my sister to replace it.
The Time I Got Locked in a Porta-Potty
I was at a music festival, and I saw this Porta-Potty just sitting there, looking lonely. I decided to take it in for a spin, and I got stuck.

The Time I Tried to Ride a Unicycle on the Highway
I had seen it on YouTube, and I thought it looked easy. I had a unicycle, and I had the highway. What could possibly go wrong?
I managed to ride for 5 minutes before I face-planted into a guardrail. I was lucky to have a good lawyer.
