welcome to the dumbass club.
my bike wrenching mishap was a tad more serious, I was cutting plastic with a box knife pulling it towards me, it slipped and struck me in the wrist right near the artery..... time for stitches.......

:lol: Don't worry I'm pretty sure we've all done something like that. I hate to admit it but I was looking at the torque spec for a 8mm bolt and it was on a team green article, where with a lack of sleep I looked and saw 87 ft lbs. Not thinking I literally did that and bam the bolt broke lol it was supposed to be 8.7 ft lb :banghead:

Luckily for me the bolt didn't full break, I took it out after i heard a crack and inspected the bolt and saw a crack. So I bent it with my fingers and it broke in half lol. As for the mounting hole, I havent inspected it yet, but I'm quite positive its A Ok lol
