Ugh, that reminds me of the time I tried to make gravy for ten people and somehow ended up with wallpaper paste. The panic of guests arriving just makes everything in the kitchen go wrong (it's a universal law, I swear). We ended up ordering pizza and laughing about it.

Remember this actually started with network TV fighting commercial breaks.

Tried using a glue stick to fix my favorite book's spine once. I was so convinced it was a clever hack, felt like a genius for about five minutes. That thing fell apart in days, like it gave up on life, and now I have a book that looks like it survived a tornado. My big repair moment turned into a sad pile of loose pages on my shelf. Should have just spent the extra time with the good glue instead of going for the quick win.
