If your 6 year old announces he is going to make "Kakao" (hot chocolate), go quickly into the kitchen to make sure he has not poured milk into the electric kettle to heat it.

A supposedly intelligent but clearly not very well domesticated friend at University once tried to make Porridge in an electric kettle. Genious.

First I thought you understood "Kakao" but your son didn't say the "o"

It is also advisable when leaving the garage at OEZ to not try to start your car with the plastic parking token while your car keys are lying on the passenger's seat.

Never trust a puddle that starts half way up a wall.
Along the kettle lines a girl I know's boyfriend and his cousin has come to stay with her for the week. Apparently he is a domesticated disaster she was at school all day so they sat at home and starved, so she got them ragu pasta sauce and noodles for the next day. Apparently he tried to cook the noodles (entire bag of spaghetti noodles) in a inch of water and tried to make the sauce by putting the bottle in boiling water

When smoking, attach a flexible vent hosepipe to your face and run it out of the window - just like the humble tumble dryer. All the non-smokers will love you!

Do not sleep walk and mistake the front door for the bathroom door. It is firstly embarrassing to ring the neighbours door naked at 4 in the morning to get a call to a locksmith. Secondly it is expensive.

The signs they put up next to estuaries saying be careful when parking your car as the carpark floods are there for a reason.
