Add your dismal fail here

Hi.
Seems that I am now getting dozens of emails because someone at PGP-UK screwed up and attached my email and the other 500 to the original email by mistake.

needless to say it is reaching hilarity point.

Feel free to add to this thread.

I had two math courses this quarter (Calculus 4 and Differential Equations) and at the end of each quarter we're supposed to fill out a survey about what the professor did well, needs to improve, etc etc. Anyway, I spent 15 minutes filling out a survey for my Differential Equations professor but after submitting it, I realized I had mistakenly clicked on the Calculus 4 survey, and not the Differential Equations survey.

Luckily the surveys are anonymous.

Long time ago I was trying to drive high side fets just as if they where low side, and I was wandering why it didn't work.

and

Driving fets using pull up resistors, while using a SMPS IC, insisting until I got something working, and later on realizing that my SMPS somehow was actually working like a linear one.

Epic fail would be the heavy handed reaction of the authorities, when 14 year olds have built an exact copy of this "reactor" without incident.
