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

When I was a kid I moved my dad's audio system to the porch so I could put the speakers outdoors while my brother and I played frisbee. We only did this when our folks weren't home, of course, because my dad would have murdered both of us had he been aware of it. We had a grand old time and made sure we moved everything back into place well before pop arrived home from work. He turned the system on and started playing an album, and called my brother and I downstairs after about 30 seconds. "who was playing with the stereo?" We (I) had connected the right speaker out of phase. I told him I wanted to "see what it would do" to wire them this way. I assumed (correctly) that this would not get me in as much trouble as "we moved all your stuff to the porch and brought the speakers outside and played everything at full tilt for three hours while we participated in hippie olympics". It still wasn't an enjoyable conversation, but it made me more attentive when it came to wire management in the long run.
