Thought I was doing my grandfather a favor by mowing his yard before he came home from work. Didn't know that old Snapper burned oil, and needed to be checked before every use. I burned the motor up.
In 1974, I borrowed my dad's wooden fishing rod he'd bought when he went through basic at Schofield barracks during the Korean War. The last thing he said was don't come home if anything happens to that rod. I was in a boat with one buddy, and his brother was fishing from the bank. The bank fishing brother got hung up in some trees, and asked for help. I lay the rod down next to me turned, and cranked the boat motor. When I turned around to see where we were going, I basically sat on the rod and broke it.

I was going through the cabinets at our house when I was about 11 and noticed all of my mother's cast iron skillets and pots felt greasy, so took them outside with a Brillo pad and some Comet and cleaned them. When I showed her my good deed, she shrieked and mumbled a few incoherent words and started to cry.
When I was about 14 my Dad asked me to back up our old Pontiac so he could hook-up our Ouachita bass boat for a fishing trip the next day. Well, I gave the car to much gas and immediately heard a bang. A few seconds later I heard a pounding noise coming from under the car, so I stopped and looked outside only to see my very, very, angry father crawling from underneath the car with a crushed cigar and his cap askew. Apparently I had run over him in my zeal to hook up the boat.
