you read stories of Darwin Awards recipients and think "what great idea, I'm going to try that"

You'd be too stupid to realize you should kill yourself and remove your genes from the gene pool, and it will all work out right in the end anyway.

Sign an 18 month contract for unlimited cable connection to the net and 2 months later a 3GB cap comes in, which is legal cause of some legal crap written in size 2 font.

I know someone that happened to with the Florida lottery. Every week he used to bet the same numbers, a combination of birthdates of his family members (I do the same when I bet). One week he changed one set of numbers. That was the week that all his usual numbers were picked.

Instead of winning millions (spread out over 20 years, now 30 years), he ended up with about $5,000.

You sign up for a Fractional T-1 to put in a wireless POP and after it's in, they tell you can't resell the bandwidth. Or get out of the contract.

(Truth time - MF - should have read the contract no matter *what* the salesman said)

Revenge time - you let your sysadmin use it for a Roswell ftp server.....

When you find out that mod_frontpage isn't working and so you spend 48 hours recompiling apache to get it working, after rewriting portions of suxec, then mod_jk breaks. Then have to recompile the PHP module, because it's stopped working with the new apache.

Fourty-eight hours of pulling hair later, and you give up, going back to the old build, and mod_jk still doesn't work. Spend 48 hours straight trying to figure out why, and are still working on it.

Then, a new version of PHP comes out with an important security fix.

When you decide after trying to use AOL (tm) after taking Windows ME (tm) off your PC, and placing Windows 98 (tm) on but your forgot you did not back up the Hard Drive. Your cat rubs it's tail on the tower, causing a Static Electricty when a baby jumps on your lap only to spill HOT Black Coffee on the thigh and your new wireless mouse. And then you actually for some insane reason place Windows ME(tm) back on the PC when the Window Shade falls down on your Inkjet printer that happen to have a leaking cartridge that spills all over your Persian Rug. And then when you reboot the PC the Hard Drive gives a Head Crash. then you know Yesterday Would have Been Better.......if.....you.......did it THEN, Instead!

When you have an anal English "professor" who insists that all assignments must be typed in a size 14 serif font (otherwise it's a failing grade) and as you're turning the assignment in you realized that you forgot to change from the default font size to 14 pt.
