The Starter Box, What a nightmare!

[RatzoRC]

I got home the other night very late from work. Not only was I in a terrible mood from working 15 hrs, and sitting in 2 hr traffic to get home, but I had a really bad headache.
To relax, I figured that I would go into the hobby shop, (my basement), and clean up a little. (also the only room in the house that I can smoke cigs).
I open the window and put the fan on and start to clean up.
After an hour of this, I see that it's starting to get late and I start closing the window's and shutting the fans.
As I turn to pick up my keys, I knock my starter box with the 12 volt gel cell in it, off the table.
I broke the Pos & Neg tab off the side of the box, and the tabs shorted against the box.
It took mear seconds for the box to start smoking, and ultimatly catch fire (small one).
So I did what I thought was the best move, being I didn't want to set the rug or the Nitro fuel onto a large blaze, I threw the starter box out of the recently closed window ( I forgot I closed it).
Crash! right threw the friggin window. I was hoping to keep the whole thing just to myself until that happened. Not to mention the smoke alarm went off.
Then I heard the footsteps from upstairs. It was her! My WIFE!!
Trouble!!!
Just goes to show. DON"T DRINK AND CLEAN!!

LMAO!! Funny stuff man

 

[Hypedonrc]

LOL!!!!!

Sorry for the bit of bad luck, but I did get a good laugh.

Man! That does suck.

 

[ImBroken]

Now thats some funny poop right there....
I bet your wife just gave you that look, huh.... You know the one... I have come to recognize the "look" & the "tone"..
Like when I get that phone call at work, that the UPS man just left... lol

 

[RatzoRC]

You know I did laugh for a split second.
Then I came to realize that my car was parked in the driveway, and I just tossed a
flaming, smoking starter box underneath it.
Thank god that didn't catch fire.

At least you didn't almost lose your eyebrows from trying to blow it out.

 

[Ryhton]

lmao, sorry hear that your day kept getting worse. That just sucks.

 

[mcvickj]

Sounds like its time to purchase a fire extinguisher for your hobby room.

 

[RatzoRC]

At least you didn't almost lose your eyebrows from trying to blow it out.

Incase you guy's missed it, this was one of the funniest things that I had ever seen.
We have the bash and dash a few months ago.
Diver is the BBQ guy for the day.
He uses the Matchlite, pre soaked briquets.
He starts to light the coals.
Doesn't light quite as he expected.
He blows very hard!!
Just to demonstrate what Divers breath can do, PHEW.......PHEW.........
PHEW.....PPPHHHHEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW.
BOOOOM!!!!!
Blows up in his face.
After the smoke cleared, he looked like something out of a cartoon, with the black all over his face.
Just kidding.
After we saw that he wasn't hurt, the roar of laughter could be heard from miles away.

Some times real life is funnier than fiction. Two very funny stories...thanks.

 

[Rolex]

Sorry about the bad day, but that was the best laugh I've had in a while. It sounds like a comedy script for Tim the Toolman Taylor. His wife ALWAYS shows up after everything has gone wrong.

Poor starter box......

Funny poop right there man.... Funny poop!

 

[RatzoRC]

Christian. How nice to see you.
I'm having a fire sale on starter boxes. No servo's or electronics.......

 

[FastEddy]

Chris has plenty of experience with things fireing up and melting in his basement. Hes just to proud to say anything. :smoke:

I hope this teaches you a life long lesson. Never, ever, ever, ever, clean your workshop. And quite honestly I'm disappointed you didn't just put a marshmallow on the end of your tuning screwdriver and and sing kum-bi-ya.

Starter $89.00
Gel cell $18.00
Basement window $46.00
Car $34,000.00
Telling you buds on the forum and having
them bust your balls for a month, $$ Priceless.

 

[RatzoRC]

hee hee. I can take the ball busting, I'm married!!

 

[Diver6127]

hee hee. I can take the ball busting, I'm married!!

Didn't your son kinda bust your balls when you tried to jump your garage with the t-maxx as well?

You got it from all sides now!

 

[RatzoRC]

Oh thats right!! forgot about that..
Hey guy's come quick. My dad's about to do something stupid!

Even dumber, I was pulling my 4 year old on his bicycle (training wheels) with my monster gt.
I hit the breaks, and he didn't.
Neadless to say, the damage was under $100
And his knee healed in a week.

 

[Lessen]
