Have you ever had one of those moments where you say "I can't believe I just did that" ?
Case in point: I was trimming my shrubs with my electric hedge trimmer. I was working my way around when I got tangled up in the extension cord and cut it in two, drawing a spark and a bang. To top it off, the lawn service guy saw the whole thing and could barely contain himself. He shouted, Be careful, man! There went my self esteem. I have to go into therapy now. :joke: :yikes:

Nothing like that has ever happened to me. Nope. Never. :rolleyes:

Been there; done that TWICE!
Couldn't believe that I was dumb enough to even do it once... :opps:
I eventually turned a great 100 foot extension cord into a 93 footer, and finally a 62'/30' two-cord set! :gaah:

I once quickly bundled a forgotten cord with my riding lawn mower, well I bundled a bunch of pieces of a cord. I was so impressed by that demonstration that I guess I was compelled to try it out on the hose the next week. A week later the neighbor brought out his lawn chair and a beer to watch what I would come up with next.:banghead:

You and my father-in-law would get along famously. I think he holds the record. :firstplace:

I can also say: Been there, done that (more than once).
