Close but no cigar. When I was maybe 19, my girlfriends mother said she would kill me if I didn’t stop leaning back in her antique chair I was always sitting In. Advice taken.
When I was in 3rd grade, 1967 or so, there was a black kid in my class. We were friends. One day he made me mad and I hissed “Nigger!” at him. I will never for the shocked look on his face or the pain in his eyes.
I went home and asked Mom what it meant.
I felt horrible and tried being a lot nicer to him for a while.
@Dutchess_III I am so sorry that happened. I could only hope that he could forgive you, being so young and not even knowing what it meant. Our culture can be terrible especially for young minds :(
Yes the entire mainframe computer system for an aerospace company, I crashed it. Didn’t know that I broke it, shutdown all manufacturing processes on mainframe. I get a call at my desk about 5 minutes after the system crashed, “Bill this is Bob at Apollo Center, did you try to do this . . . DON“T ever do that again!” Took them three hours to get it up and running. My question sent it into a loop the computer couldn’t get an answer.
It was was a bill of material question that was fourteen levels from deliverable part to purchased raw material , the register in the mainframe only had TWELVE levels, so when it got to 12 it went out into LA-LA land.
Back in March of this year, I purposely broke the connection from Russia to my Wealth Management/Private Banking Firms SWIFT network. This disabled Russia from doing any financial transactions or requests through my firm.
It felt so good and empowering.
I just remembered something that I posted on another thread. I did mess up something once that was very expensive, to have repaired any way. I messed up the front axel on my dad’s Mustang Mach One car racing another asshole one night. He was not a happy camper, and made me drive the VW to school there after. Prior to that he had always been cool about letting me use his car. Any time I asked him to. When I ill-advisedly protested, he told me in his inicable Army guy way, “Act like a numb nut you can drive a numb nut car. You should have thought about that son!” But he was right.
