She didn't nail it, she screwed it. <Insert joke here.>

At the bottom of such a list we would have things such as

- Coming out of Tesco with two trolleys because the stuff wouldn't fit 
into one... even though only two people live in our house??


maximum number of plants possible... Even though our garden is small, 
plants have the capacity to COPY THEMSELVES FOR FREE, and, best of all, 
she then didn't bother to plant any of them so the ENTIRE lot died. Good 


- Whining that my sister never calls her, and then spending 35 minutes 
telling her off for not calling her when she eventually does call. 
(Wanna take a guess why she never calls? I mean, aside from the fact 
that IN REALITY she calls far more than any sane person would think is 
necessary...)

Somewhere near the top I guess, we'd have

- Ripping the hand brake off of a car. (It WAS a Ford Anglia though, so 
I guess that explains it.)

- Screwing her children to a piece of wood. (And then putting the drill 
into hammar action rather than reverse while attempting to free them. 
[And then freeing only one of them, while leaving the other one to free 
himself.])

- Accidentally amputating her fingernail with a vegatable slicer due to 
not bothering to use the supplied safety guard. (ARE YOU MENTAL??)

- Accidentally drilling through her arm with a power drill and spending 
6 months incapacitated as a result.

- Spending 7 hours looking for her car keys when they were, in fact, in 
the door of the car.

You know, this list could be *really* long...
