So today I decided to impress my girlfriend by fixing our leaky bathroom sink. I’d never fixed a sink before, but I watched one YouTube tutorial and thought, “How hard can this be?” Spoiler: really hard. I got my tools, unscrewed a few things, and boom—water everywhere. I thought I could manage it, but the more I turned things, the worse it got. In full panic mode, I grabbed the nearest thing to stop the water: a roll of toilet paper. Yeah, not helpful.

Next thing you know, the bathroom’s flooded, I’m soaked head to toe, and my girlfriend walks in laughing her head off. We had to call an emergency plumber, and my handyman dreams are officially down the drain—literally. Lesson learned: leave plumbing to the pros.

TL;DR: Tried to fix a sink, flooded the bathroom, and became a joke in my own house.
