A couple of years ago I put up a shelf in the kitchen. I proudly showed this to the mrs at the exact point it slowly drooped and deposited its contents in the sink.
A list has already been prepared - luckily she knows my limitations and has omitted stuff I could ruin.
Many years ago, in the mid 90's, I worked in a factory soldering tiny little wires.
There were many jokers in that environment. One of them decided it would be funny to hot glue all of the equipment and stuff on one of our co-worker's workbenches, to the workbench, one day while said coworker was out.
Enter the manager, who had decided, on this particular day, to rearrange some of the workbenches. In this particular case, said coworker's workbench had a shelf unit though which the workbench was placed; the idea being to save space I guess by having the shelving in the middle of the bench with some shelves above the bench and some below.
So the manager starts moving things off of the workbench so he can get the shelving unit and move it somewhere else, or at least he tried to. As he grabbed each item on the workbench, he discovered it was glued to the workbench. So he started prying things loose. After about the 5th item or so, he muttered exasperatingly under his breath, but loud enough for those of us nearby to hear, "does she glue everything down?"
I'm not sure if said coworker got "talked to" upon returning to the building or not, but the rest of us had a good laugh, once the manager was out of sight, obviously.
