Sometimes, when you've done something stupid, it's worth remembering that you're not the only one who makes mistakes. Here on the right is a feed from Randy Cassingham's This is True archive. Randy's collation of stories illustrates that our troubles often arise from our own silliness, and that whatever daft or weird thing you might have experienced recently, somebody out there can probably top it.
