Civviie cock ups you have got away with?

[suttonporksword]

When I was in the scouts about 40 of us when off to camp. We were in about 10 separate tents with the mess tent set up in the middle . Took us hours to get the site set up and the mess tent much larger and full of all the food, equipment and tables etc.  On the first night I was woken in the middle of the night dying for a piss so got out of the tent . It was totally pitch  black and really windy so headed for the bushes. In doing so I inadvertently kicked a number of the mess tent pegs out of the ground, the wind got under it and blew the whole thing down  . How it woke nobody I will never know and I did the fastest piss in my life and rushed back to my sleeping bag.  Next   morning the leaders were saying how windy it had been and about 10 of the lads had to spend all morning putting it back up. I said 
Nothing!

Not so much a cock up but a cock down  .

Scouts again, it reminded me, on a midnight hike through Epping Forest, long before dogging was a thing, we came across a MK4 Zephyr bouncing on the springs.

Torches off, sniper style, we surrounded the car, then popped up shining torches into it, the guy jumped off, did not know what to do first, reach for the keys, pull up his pants, protect her modesty or close the windows.

Must have been very relived to see 20 odd guys walking away laughing

Once upon a time, when I was a teenager, I was in a cellar. A family members house.
I was changing a ceiling lamp holder, the white plastic ones. It was broken and faulty.
The switch was up, to denote no electricity to the lamp holder. It was a one way switch, one switch, one light.
As I was disconnecting the lamp holder, I got a full blown electric shock, that made me fall on my back. Biggest electric shock I have ever had.

Turned out the switch on the wall was upside down, one of those old fashioned round ones. What I thought was off, was actually on.

Big lesson learnt, whenever doing electrical work, switch off at the mains or take fuse out.

About ten years ago, when I was old enough to know better.
I filled up my motorcycle with diesel, instead of petrol 
It started OK but broke down a very short distance from the garage.
I was only half an hour walking distance from home.
Pushed it home, then organised garage to pick up and repair.
Very embarrassing for me.
Thing is, there are no modern motorcycles that use diesel. I must have had a senior moment 

PS. It must be genetic, my father once put diesel in his petrol car once.

In my 20’s large amounts of profoundly stupid high speed driving on public roads.

Really, really grateful never hurt anyone.

Me and a few others.

We used to have a visitor to scout night in the church hall, posh bird with a double barrelled name I will not mention, with the most magnificent tits always on show, someone must have been fucking her, but nobody owned up to it

Done it the other way round, very early morning, around 2 am, set of for the North in my big diesel VW Luton.

Filled the half full tank, dipped the oil, it needed a litre as usual, asked for it as I paid at the window and he gives me petrol oil, said I need diesel oil, Why? he says, you just put 50 odd litres of petrol in it
