Used chicken coop wire instead of proper mesh for the front bumper of my MK4 Astra  I didn't think it looked any different at the time!
One of my sisters ex's was a bouncer and owned a red mondeo and wanted me to spray the aerial, Calipers and drums bright yellow. So I did with no undercoat, laquer, didn't take the wheels off or anything  it looked shit but he was made up!
Filling up my AXGT with new oil without putting the sump plug back in = 5 litres all over the show after telling my dad he had to take me for more oil be noticed.
Fitting LED's into the dash of my MK4 Astra again an wondering for about 2 hours why they weren't working, only to find I hadn't fitted the LED's into the holders
Putting brand new 18" Lenso Shu's on another MK4 Astra and when tightening the bolts in I scraped all the paint off around all the holes  they looked amazing though!
In my corsa I tried adjusting the seat forward whilst driving and had to brake, I smashed into the steering wheel so fucking the horn went off and my face pushed right up against the windscreen. The horn was honking and I couldn't reach the lever to move it back a guy ran over and moved it for me. LOADS of people were watching!
In my AXGT I left work with 3 of my mates and just about to join the motorway I went to change gear an the engine started SCREAMING  Went to the redline and would come back. I turned off the engine and back on again but it did the same. The lads flagged down another lad from work and off they went, I rang my dad. He turned up and I explained what the problem was. The opened the door and move my floor mat a bit and the accelerator pedal popped back up  Jesus I got ripped in work the next day.
In my first MK4 Astra I was with my ex going into the local cinema when I did a 'Watch this' moment. It was proper pouring down and I was about to turn a tight full 180 corner and said 'You could have so much fun in this carpark!!' turned the wheel.....the car carried on going straight forward into a curb BOOM ended up in a hedge a mm away from a solid metal post. I said to my ex 'I think it's okay! Reversing back the car was bobbing up and down about 2 foot wheel was 90 degrees.
Rang the RAC and the driver just shook his head. Dad ended up paying £450 to get it fixed.
And that's all I can think of for now loads more

I left work one night in a pissed off mood and jumped into the Corsa I had at the time. I noticed I had a bulb out on the dash and I lost my temper and punched the dash hoping that the bulb would work again but the cuff of my jacket caught the indicator stalk snapping it completely off and jamming the high beam of my lights on which blinded people the whole way home. To say I was even more pissed of is an understatement lol.

crashed my first car into one of the bollards in maccies drive thru when i tried to wheelspin from one window to the next with my wheels at a 45 degree angle
one i really should have known better was jacking a very low saxo up with a scissor jack at the back jacking point. brought the entire rear up and it just pivoted sideways and ripped the sideskirt off

Got angry whilst trying to get some seized wheel nuts off and decided to jump on the tyre iron. All of a sudden the wheel nut gave way, flung the tire iron 360 degrees hitting me in the back of the leg making me fall over, faceplant my mums car which set the car alarm off.
Awkward...

Went to check my oil, needed a topup, did that but it was raining so placed he cap back on. Was called away on a job and got back to my car and all looked good. Slammed the bonnet down and broke down in congleton with the smell of oil in the cabin...

My worst one was on my corsa sport, had it in the garage on axle stands, taking all the wheels off, last one wouldn't come off, spent an hour with a few mates kicking it as hard as we could to get it off... I then noticed I had forgotten to remove 3 of the bolts
In that same night we where fitting the front suspension to it, stupidly just left the car on the jack without an axle stand and a mate was fiddling with the jack and managed to drop the car on to my legs.
Same mate then sat and played with my jump pack, connected positive and negative clips together and fell off his chair after the shock, I think he's a bit special
