That week I tried to fix a leaky faucet and ended up flooding the kitchen
Last Tuesday I thought I could save 150 bucks by replacing a cartridge in my bathroom sink. Turns out I forgot to shut off the main water valve and spent 3 hours mopping up water from the kitchen below. Has anyone else had a simple repair turn into a disaster?

Oof. That's a classic oops right there.

bro you forgot to shut off the main? that's rough but honestly i've done the same thing with a toilet fill valve. thought i could just swap it out quick and ended up with water running for 10 minutes before i found the shutoff. the key is always triple check the valve is actually off before you touch anything.
