On the Ladies Forum, we got to talking about the joys of living on our own. Except for one little bit. The "joys" seem to come with "I really messed that up."
I know my biggest faux pas was trying to put a new socket in an old lamp. Instead of learning how to do that that day, I learned something different. Fuses and fuse boxes.
Someone else learned how to make her roommates sick from the food she made.
This got me giggling on how incompetent we were. (And I still am, since I'm determined to re-socket an old lamp again, but still remember how much that electricity hurt. I've had the socket for weeks. I have to shake the lamp to get it to go on, but I'm still gathering the courage to try it again -- under husbandly supervision this time. lol) But, I actually don't think anyone ever moved out, lived on their own for a bit, and didn't mess up in some amusing way.
What's your biggest mess up from when you lived on your own?
