    I had an idea.
    My story is:
    Once, I was playing with my 4 month old laptop, when the game I was playing froze, I jokingly "threw" (picked it up, and wave my arm slowly into the direction of the monitor and let go), the mouse destroyed the screen and I had to get a new one.

    It was at "CrazyBurger", the first time I had to powder-filter the fryer vats. We use a powder frying oil saver that comes in bags; it's so fine it can practically act liquid, and the first time each day that we filter the No. 1 fryer vat, we put a bag of this stuff in the oil that's being drained and filtered. Well, I tried to rip the plastic using the fry tongs like I'd been showed, but somehow the bag ripped too much and wrong. Boom, filter powder goes everywhere, all over the fries, all over the floor, all over me. Some of it even went into the fryer vat. Of course the jokes about "Colombian bam-bam" started immediately, and I referred to the stuff as "Pablo powder" for a while afterwards.

    Not like I cared about my terrible laptop, but I was trying to use it while my current computer was being repaired, so, I was doing some school work to then meet the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Being me, which is probably some sort of mental health issue, I, ummm. Jumped on it. I had to use my brothers, which was harder than you think to get hold of.

    This one time i was attempting to fix a school project some of my classmates broke. I had to take it apart, and cut new MDF wood pieces. WIth a cutter. I managed to cut a piece of my finger off, and when i was back, with my finger back on its place, i was unable to put the thing back together.

    Back in my house, we could fix everything by hitting it, no joke, the tv once went black, I got up, smacked it on the top, poof, clear as day, computer starts looking like a VCR recording while playing a game? Smack on the side and all fixed, so, naturally, when I bought myself my first Ipad, I figured the same would work, I was watching something on YouTube when the screen dimmed, I figured it was an issue so i hit the side of it, it fells off my table, onto the floor, and right into a bucket of water I was soaking my feet in (sprained it that morning while jogging)

    I put it into a bowl of rice immediately, and, a grain got stuck in the headphone jack, I took a toothpick and tried to get it out (and remember, the Ipad wasn't damaged yet, it was still working, the water got mostly soaked up) and somehow, the toothpick slipped, I heard a crackling, and, the iPad broke

    Once I was at my cousins house, we where in the basement and my aunt came down, throws the old computer into the corner, gave us a screwdriver and says 'have fun'

    My internet was acting finicky and shit while I was trying to watch a Youtube video for school. I got mad about the internet, and slapped the laptop... right where the hard drive was.

    The laptop clicked a few times and never worked again.

    I put too much oil in my car and made it run terrible. It just kept shaking and bucking while I bumbled around trying to find and fix the problem, until I was pretty sure the rings were done for. Then, when I started it up to try to take it to a mechanic earlier today, it started tapping. The timing on that just figures, and just stings. Of course, because Alaska is a horrible place to look for parts, we can't junkyard engine swap it within my budget. Mechanic wants it out of his yard by tomorrow; hopefully it'll survive the drive home, fortunately he's willing to sell me a better-running personal car that he doesn't need anymore for $280. If this works out well, I'll end up with two cars and possibly even a more powerful engine in the Sunbird by the time this is all over (several paydays from now, of course). If it doesn't, at least I tried. If the Escort blows up, I'll probably turn a profit just by selling it for scrap metal, and if the Sunbird blows up, it will be painful inside, but I'll still have the Escort.
