Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done

Good one. That sounds like something I would do. I always try to get stuff done quickly… especially when I was young, I would always get going too quick. Then I was put in charge of software development… wow… that stopped me dead in my tracks and made me stop everyone that worked for me from doing anything until we were sure we understood why. Programmers like me wanted to get going… great way to do useless stuff.

I am sure I have wasted dozens of hours ripping disks only to find the default during an upgrade went back to lossy compression… having to do it over again.

Maybe you.need one of them fancy TTs that require a belt relocation for a different speed.

Placing a quarter on my head shell to keep my record from skipping....but didn’t everyone do that growing up? 🤣

Played a side of an album with a cartridge I had just knocked the diamond from. The jagged whatever that was left on the cantilever acted as a stylus. I thought it sounded a bit iffy and put it down to a poor pressing. Expensive gaff.
