Don't yank somebody's vine?
Today while mowing my dad's grass, I saw a Virginia creeper vine growing on the side of his house. I decided to pull it off the house, but failed to see a group of wasps building a nest on said vine. This resulted in me getting stung by a red wasp, on my nose.
It's been about 6 hours since the sting occurred and by face is still slightly swollen and it's difficult to breath through my nose from the swelling.
I have learned a lesson today...

So now you look like you have a drinking problem?
Many years ago, I was riding a road bike (as in: bicycle) and wearing a collarless shirt. A red wasp flew down the back of said shirt.
I learned two things that day:
1. Watch out for bees when riding a bicycle and
2. Red wasps can sting multiple times - and each sting is just as painful as the one before it!

And now, for my latest screw-up:
I've been working - off-and-on lately - on my MK II Jetta GLI.
One of its problems was that the headlight dimmer in the multi-switch stopped working, so I ordered a new one.
Since I had the steering wheel off to replace that part, I decided that I might as well pull the instrument cluster and send the speedometer off to Rick at Overseas Speedometer in Austin because the trip odometer wouldn't reset or rotate properly. I have a spare speedometer assembly which I've used before, so I thought I'd just pop that in and use it until my speedometer came back from Texas.
Being late July and Ohio, it was hot and humid; my hands were sweaty and I was attempting to put the speedo/tach 'cassette' back into the surround when it slipped and dropped all of 2 inches onto the workbench. The tach popped out of the assembly and landed face-down on the bench, breaking off the needle. I immediately called Rick and he assured me that he had the proper needle in stock and to just re-assemble the unit and ship it to him. After making sure my hands were dry, I put the assembly back together and started packing it - and accidentally pressed the trip reset. You guessed it - the drop onto the workbench jogged whatever was stuck back into position. :?
In any case, the assembly is back in Ohio and all I have to do is re-install it. And, it's been completely cleaned and lubricated and has a shiny new tach needle. But... Rick certainly had a good laugh at my expense!

Just realized I ordered the wrong Blu-ray movie earlier this week, Kung Fu Panda (which I already own on DVD) instead of Kung Fu Panda 3, but the shipping fee to return it would be 65% of the purchase price (10$), so might as well keep it.
Yes, but I do believe unplugging the phone breaks the connection in most cases. So still mostly me being stupid

Why the fuck is it even on the outside of the car?!
