How many times have you been bitten By the SHHHHH monster?

Today was my 3rd time.. Had my test monitor out.. I was done with it, and should have put it away.. I was doing some touch up on the top of a cabinet, when I felt my leg hit something and heard SHHHHHHHHHHH... I didnt even look, just walked away and came back later...

Shit that was a nice tube too:(

Once on a brand new monitor, but it was a cheapo Korean one, and one on a k7000 with no burn..that one pissed me off more.
 
once on a pretty nice K4900. had it stored under a shelf with another monitor which, as i pulled it out one day, i caught on the K4900 and heard "PSSHHHHHHHH." i was darn upset with myself.
 
This one was a 4600.. The last one I did was a Armor Attack tube:(.. I hate the noise.. Its worse that a chalkboard!!

Did it a few weeks ago taking the 4600 monitor out of my Missile Command. Lifted up too soon and caught the neck on the top of the cabinet. KPSHHHHH..............*silence*......... "Son of a bitch!!!"
 
Once... just once. And that was enough.

I was putting a 19" on a shelf ... wouldn't fit by about 1/2" so I pulled away and the neck board got caught on the under-hang of the shelf above...

SSsshhhhhhhhh......

>ARGH!<
 
A G07 got hit by a falling kayak in my storage barn... Damn.

Took out the neck and the neck board.
 
Nope not here, not yet.

I feel bad for whomever crosses my path that day as i'm sure i'll be a absolute JOY.
 
Hasn't happen to me yet. But when it does I'm pretty sure everyone within a 2 mile radius will hear me.
 
Did it a few weeks ago while putting a Nanao from a Sega cocktail up on my workspace shelf. Clipped the edge of the shelving and SSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

Good news: The wife was able to buy her some nifty new seat covers with the money from the swear jar.

Bad news: I think I made baby Jesus cry.
 
About 10 time last week... I was clearing out my burned tubes. I have only had it happen once on accident, and the monitor had some burn so I didn't really care. I was taking off the metal tatio frame to put onto a different monitor and I had the thing slip and pop the neck right off.

Ya no kidding.. I heard the noise and walked away.. When I came back I removed the neck board, It didnt look to bad so I gave it a nice kick.. I uttered a few choice words at it...:eek:
 
I have heard that sound many many times, mostly while discarding bad tubes. However, I removed the guts of my Dig Dug while cleaning out the mouse smell. I had the control panel sitting on a bar stool and the monitor was on the floor next to the stool. Unfortunately, the CP and the monitor got a little closer to each other than they were designed to.
 
I had it happen once in the first year i started collecting (15 years ago..) Trying to position the monitor along the brackets to properly center so could bolt down from behind like an idiot and my hand slipped (bleep bleep bleep mother bleep bleep) You get the point..:D
