    Racing late one night, car breaks sideways and I'm trying to steer it back. The force feedback swings back with so much strength that it ripped one of those plastic twist-down clamps in half. Needed to buy a $200 wheel stand and bolt it down to be able to race anything.

    We have a larger property with hills so about 4 years ago my dad decided to buy a brand new John Deere lawn tractor. Since he works 8-5 I agreed to mow the lawn for him. After he got his tractor he said I was aloud to drive it under the condition that I check the oil whenever I take it out to mow. For the first month or two I did as he said and checked the oil level. After I saw the oil level had not moved at all for over a month I slacked off a little lol. I figured since it's a brand new motor it shouldn't consume/ leak oil... Boy was I wrong, about 2 weeks later I was mowing and the engine started knocking from oil starvation. As soon as I heard the knock starting I added oil. I started it again the knock got extremely bad.. Then.. BANG! Threw a rod. Dad was not too happy about this one but luckily it was covered under warranty...

    I attempted to desolder a broken trackpad conecter on a MacBook Pro logic board. Apparently it wasn't hot enough when I tried removing it, cuz it ripped the solder pads right out of the board. I had to scrap the board and get a new one. Sorry for the poor pic quality.

    I Jumped on my bed and busted the springs and the frame... didn't end well because one side is leaning and the other side is hard as a rock. Under Frame is Snapped in half because it is a wooden frame.

    Okay, I have a few stories here, both related to my laptop.
    Story 1: Not too long ago, I broke one of the enter keys off my laptop. Don’t ask.
    Story 2: Not too long ago again, my computer didn’t start up. So, I decided to take it apart to see what was wrong with it. After taking off every single cover and then the keyboard, I realized that the ribbon cable that connected to the power button was disconnected...

    Also bonus story: I have a little electric contraption, it’s pretty much a switch connected to a transformer and battery that leads to a wire wrapped around a button that you can shock people with. Pretty fun, but almost sorta painful to do it to yourself. So one day, being me, I wondered “hUh wHat woUld HapPen iF I toUchEd thE enD Of tHe wIre to thE tranSfoRmeR?”

    And do note, I was holding it by the transformer as there wasn’t any other place to hold it without putting strain on the wires or something.

    So, I put the wire to the transformer, and I received the biggest shock of my life. Literally, and physically.

    The bolt shot up my arm, almost into my shoulder and it scared me to death when I felt it.

    But, I’m okay now. I think.

    I was somewhere between 12 and 14. Golfing in my friends backyard with wiffle balls. "this is boring, brb." Run home grab my golf bag, I'm lefty and his clubs were righty.

    Bag has real balls in it. "Let's use these." All having more fun with the real balls, but I wasn't using a driver. Decide to go for broke. Hit ball ~200 yards arrow straight. See what looked like a puff of dust come off the back of a car parked in the driveway. "uh oh" Grab everything and run home going past that house. See rear window smashed.

    Told my parents and ended up cleaning up the glass with our shop vac and seeing a really pissed off lady. Brand new car and she just had a flat tire and now this.

    I broke a new Razer keyboard by spilling water on it.
    My keyboard magically poofed in half during a frustrating obby on ROBLOX a few years ago.

    i like boring cars. next time you see it check if its unlocked, then if it is, pop the hood and see what you're dealing with. if its locked, beat in a window with a bat. you should start a thread for this

    I suppose later in life if my arm just stops working or something, I’ll know.

    I broke a school computer after i finished exams. I did this because i finished my exam and was waiting for everyone else to finish and i stuck my pencil in the usb port and it sparked and some smoke started coming out the the computer, so then i had to blow around to fan the smoke out and put the little fire out that was inside the usb port. Then the administrator in the room was walking around wondering where the smoke and electrical smell was coming from. :eek:

    EDIT: this was not funny at the time...... -___-
