I certainly did.

I was taking a wooden box apart and realized I grabbed the wrong bit. Rather than go get the correct one I used my extremely hard head and decided to make the wrong bit work. The screws were not fooled.

On the bright side, I successfully turned a <5 minute activity into a 2+ hour project. Go me!

I worked harder AND smarter by telling my boss I was visiting customers and staying the fuck home and playing video games.

Were you paid by the hour?

If so, carry on!

Sadly it was at home so I am paying for it myself :(
