There is a scene from the Simpsons where Homer is attempting to fix Marge's camera using a drill and a hammer and when he hits the drill with the hammer it shatters the camera to pieces. Homer says that he'll need a bigger drill...!
Anyway applying this warped logic to my everyday situation I have a terrible habit of doing things wrong and breaking things which leaves my wife just shaking her head with a mixture of disbelief and frustration.
For example I don't know which buttons are which on the TV remote and often when we watch shows together when attempting to turn up the volume I end up switching channels or turning the set off!
Today I broke a pair of scissors while cutting a cable tie and I also managed to bruise my leg by falling backwards off a chair after fixing the time on the clock. If I was to record the list daily it would be fairly long come the end of the week.
Does this sort of stuff happen to any of you and is there any 'cure' for Homer Simpson Syndrome?
