re: Stupid things you did as a kid/adult

Hooked up a battery to charge overnight - only problem is I did it backwards. Woke up the next morning to the charger cord melted to the top of the battery. Thankfully, the breaker flipped and cut off power before anything caught on fire. Not a mistake I'll ever make again.

Another battery story but not mine - my brother set the battery in the small bateau on an angle and both polls touched the bare side of the aluminum boat and started sparking and smoking like crazy. Nothing happened but it was a serious "oh shite" moment.
