Have you ever damaged a game out of sheer carelessness?
I remember back when I first bought my Pole Position, I was changing the lightbulb right after I got it in my garage. I unscrewed the marquee from the bottom (I dont know why...) and took off the marquee and changed the bulb. Then I put everything back into place holding it with my hand. I realized I left the screwdriver on the ground, but forgot that I was holding the marquee. I let go of it and in a split second, I realized the dumbass move I just pulled and I doubled back, trying to catch the falling parts in a frantic fumble. I caught the bracket, but the marquee landed face down on the cement with a big POW!!!! Needless to say that wrecked my day, but luckily I was able to snag an even nicer replacement off ebay for $5 immediately.
So have you ever damaged a game out of carelessness or lack of attention?
