How many of you have been "got" by the tailgate having weak gas struts then? I'm sure there must be a few of us.
I once lowered a maestro onto my foot without noticing (I was wearing steel toecaps). When I went to walk off I was rather puzzled at tripping over because my foot was still wedged under the car.
I've also started pouring oil in an engine without first remembering to put the drain plug back in! Luckily I spotted it very quickly before I created an oil slick big enough to kill off the local wildlife!
