queenofshopping Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 So I was just down on the porch, in the freezing cold, so desperate to finish putting up my lights before christmas comes that i was in my hoodie, pj pants, & slippers, & while trying to not staple-gun myself, i bent over in a funny way & rrrrrrrip, there goes the area of my pjs so, if anyone wants to share some story about the time they fell off a ladder or something, do it here & let us share your pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Not sure if this qualifies, but last year I bought 3 of those multicolored spiral trees to put out in the front yard. I decided to use the spike that went in the ground instead of the base that just sat there. (That was my first mistake) I had my 5 yr. old out there with me "helping" (second mistake) so I was having a little trouble focusing on reading the instructions and keeping her out of the box at the same time. Anyway, I shoved the stake & pole down in the dirt and didn't realize how deep I had it in there. Got the tree put up and all was well until after Christmas when I went to take the tree down & pull the pole & stake out of the ground.. I didn't even notice that the stake part hadn't come out with the rest of it - it was still in the dirt in the yard and I couldn't find it out there anywhere! I still don't know where it is, even the guy that mowed my yard this past summer never saw it. I'll have to take a metal detector out there to look for it.

Marcster Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 This isn't really a horror story, kinda funny actually... My in-laws had two of those light-up reindeer in their lawn. They look kinda like this: http://www.echristmas.com.au/images/group/Rein03.gif Well, we were visiting them a couple of years ago and we all went out for the day, and while we were gone, some prankster put the reindeer in a comprimising position. Now, my in-laws are very conservative... Imagine my surprise when the next time we went up to visit them and they had puchased and set up a little baby reindeer!
