Classic blunder

Today, I had to temporarily remove the drain pipe under the sink. I absentmindedly poured the stinky water from the trap into the now drainless sink, and flooded the cupboard I was working in with it. FML

Plumbed out

Today, I tried to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. I watched a YouTube tutorial and was feeling confident that I could get the job done. Two hours later, half of the kitchen was practically flooded because I forgot to cut the water off, and scrambled to actually find the main valve, then I had to call an emergency plumber, who showed up, laughed, and fixed it in five minutes.

Many of us who have done some home plumbing repair have done something like that at one time or another. Shit happens... You can either learn from your own mistakes or from other's mistakes. Experience is usually the most effective teacher, but those lessons can be messy or expensive... The difference between a good handiperson and a bad one is the good one knows how to fix their mistakes. A great one thinks ahead and doesn't make mistakes, but we're not all at that point.
