In the realms of "Dumb Things I have Done" there's the purchase of a 2nd hand RS branded bubble tank from the local electronics junk emporium back in the day (25 or more years ago).
Get it home and think: I'll see if it works.
Carts tank into kitchen.
And my guardian angel being with me, I filled it with water rather than FeCl.
And it leaked due to a fractured gland at the base of the tank.
Thusly did I avoid colouring the kitchen floor orange or etching the kitchen sink.
Thank you angel of mercy.
Managed to mop up the water reasonably well, so got away with that one.
Still haven't found a replacement for the gland.
