Talking Point: Domestic Disasters
Created | Updated Nov 28, 2002
Everyone has a bad hair day. If you haven't had one yet, one is waiting for you in the future. It has also been know for people to have bad fashion days as well. Bad cooking days aren't as rare as some would like to think.
Do-it-yourself is a prime candidate for the domestic disaster. 'I'll just fix this shelf, it's a bit wobbly' you might think. Six months later you're so sick of staring at the hole in the wall that you're thinking of moving.
Where was the worst place your cat or dog threw up?
Have you ever put the handles on upside-down?
Did you think that you lokoed great in the mirror, only to get out on the street and realise that you look like a complete idiot?
Have you had to wear a hat for a few weeks after a spectacularly bad haircut?
Have you ever pulled up the wrong 'weed' or put the lawn mower over something you shouldn't have?
Have you panicked because one of your electrical appliances started smoking?
