Most Trouble You've Been In?

What have you bought that's gotten you in the most trouble at home? About two months ago I bought an '06 Harley Davidson Road King for $8600. It is like new with only 6400 miles on it. I thought I had the OK at home, but soon found out otherwise. Things are just now starting to settle down!


No name given!
 
i cant tell you how many times i got the ultamaitum...either the bikes go or i do...told each and every one...dont let tha screen door hitcha in the a$$!
wimmen all gone but i still got my bikes,guns,tractors,ranch and MONEY
old age is good...big head started doing the thinkin.
 
I think about the most I got into so far was my new (used) snow blower I bought for $550. Was an Areins 1032 (10 HP, 32") that was just taken in on trade. I was gonna buy a different one that was for sale the weekend before but it was gone. Asked inside and they had this monster. Bought it as is and put a new scraper bar on it.

Haven't gotten to use it yet, and I still gotta change the oil, but she's settled down now. I sold the one we had for $400 yesterday and I still gotta sell our other small one. Should almost cover all costs.

I flushed a green toy tractor down the toilet when I was four. Didn't like the color. If it had been red, like my butt later that day, it never would have happened.
 
I collect original gas pump globes. Several years ago I went on a globe buying spree. My wife was not happy with how much money I was spending. I told her I'd be happy to sell all of my globes....and get another stock car. Never heard another word about spending too much on globes.

I recently bought a Ford 555 backhoe, and worse, I brought it home. Even though my wife wasn't happy about it she didn't say anything.....for about a week!
 
Never got into much trouble. Do not remember, but dad told about the time he come in from the field and my brother and I had throwed rocks through a bunch of window panes in barn. Another time when 4 or 5 found us half way up the windmill. He removed the bottoms steps. Our bedroom window was over the back porch and mom was having club when we decided to climb out the window onto the porch. Window fell shut and there we were. Had to holler at mom to rescue us when she had a house full of her neighbors.
 
Well, not so much with money, but remember losing traction on an icy hill with a Farmall 560, sliding backwards even with the chains on, and the trailer I was pulling headed for the deep ditch. Trailer hit a tree, stopped, me and the tractor spun around like cracken the whip, suddenly going down hill, opened the throttle and slowly went right back to the barn. Was hard to get off with my knees shaking so bad.

bout ten years old, soaped the neighbors Big picture window on their porch.real heavy

I wasn't thinking their three kids, and parents were away . I was the only other kid in the area.

My dad wasnt happy and nither was the neighbors.
my punishment was to spend all day on their porch washing, not scraping window. still couldn't get all it off. Had a new found respect for other peoples property.
 
I had to serve out a 12 years sentence with mine, you must have had a better lawyer, lol. Two of the best days of my life were the two days she said yes, one when I proposed and the other to the final divorce settlement.
 
That would require a lot of consideration. I might even have to work up a spreadsheet and catagorize diferent events. Some catagories that come to mind: Naked? Drunk? High? Multiple women? Money? Arrested? Explosions? I really don't want to think about it.
 
BB gun. Unused building about 75 feet long with the entire south (long) wall in 6-over-6 paned windows.

I got REAL good at glazing. Took me a while to pay for the glass, putty and points on my dollar-a-week allowance too.
 
Thought it would be a good idea to drag race a car next to me on Ford Road near the Southfield freeway back in the mid sixties. Turned out the guy next me was a Dearborn cop in an unmarked police car. I was pulling away when he put up his light.
 
This wasn't my fault, but I considered it trouble at the time. I was 17 years old and the bachelor farmer just north of us asked me to help him haul wheat from the field. He had a 1959 Ford F7 or 700 with a small 6 cylinder in it that was completely worn out, as was most of the truck. No mirror on the drivers door. Way over loaded with wheat, I wound her out tight in granny trying to get up a steep hill on the county road. About 5 feet from the crest of the hill, the thing stalled. I hit the brake pedal (probably harder than I should have) and the pedal hit the floor. I took a wild ride backwards and then I saw a car appear at the foot of the hill behind me. I steered it into the side ditch and through our new fence and down into our pasture. To this day i don't know how I kept from upsetting it--- i did spill some wheat. I saw a 40 foot scrub cedar tree in my one mirror and aimed for it. I snapped the tree completely off, but luckily the stump caught the front axle. Hard to get out of a truck with jelly for legs. I was unhurt, and for the most part the truck was undamaged--he fixed the broken brake line and used it for years after that. I never did drive it again. The owner is 83 now and once in a while at the feed mill in front of a bunch of old geezers, he'll rib me about wrecking his good truck.
 
Washed a couple of used pistons from the 70 diesel in the wife's dishwasher.
Took about two months for the dishwasher interior to return to a whitish colour from grey.
 
The worst reaction was when I bought a dirt bike for my son. I race 'em for 15 years. The Mrs just barely tolerated my having them. She went ballistic, followed by a few weeks of not talking to me at all, when I brought one home for the boy. He's still riding them 12 years later, I'm still living, the wife finally got over it and quit giving me the silent treatment....Wait a minute....About that silent treatment???? Maybe I aughtta go buy another dirt bike! No talking wasn't as bad as it sounds
 
First wife said if I bought another Cockshutt 50 she was going to leave.Man its been a great tractor if I'd of known that would have made her clear out I'd a bought a dozen several years earlier
 
How about a red hot 64' Impala SS with a souped 409 fitted with 3 dueces, 2 miles of 4 lane, a state cop that knew Dad and a radar gun that topped out at 137 MPH? Dad demonstated some of the injuries I could have suffered if something had gone wrong when he dragged me out of the back seat of that police cruiser. The cop just tipped his hat and said 'you fellas have a good evening'. I guess the cop did me a favor, (more or less)
 
Got in a bad wreck once...called the girlfriend..she crawled over her husband to get the phone...she came out..she was first at the scene...ambulance called...second at the scene was my wife..she was on ambulance duty...they both rode in the ambulance with me to the hospital..LOL
 
You darned right!

If ya gotta live under someone else's thumb or "evil eye", that just plain isn't livin'.

Bought a boat motor, came home to tell the wife while she was making out bills and listening to the dryer making all kinds of noise.(been having trouble with that dryer) Not anymore, now we have a BRAND NEW dryer AND washer! Boat motor wasn't such a deal afterall. :>( Mike
 
Ya gotta make darned sure they understand where the door is.

Have never understood anyone puttin' up with that kind of nonsense.

Met at a bar on a Saturday with a couple of friends. Several pitchers later my wife walked out of the ladies room as I'm playing tonsil hockey with a female coworker.I heard about that every day for 5 years before she let it rest.
 
Never marry a woman who makes less than you. Nowadays, the higher wage earner gets to pay alimony. My first wife found that out when she thought she was going to "Clean me out". As soon as I told her to be happy with my truck and the last few payments or go in front of a judge and be forced to pay, she saw it my way. I got the house and everything in it.
 
Getting caught with 10 cases of Oklahoma taxed Coors beer in the back of my pickup. It was 1975 and I was 17, in Arkansas, in a dry county. It was illegal to have Coors in Arkansas at that time and the guy that caught me was NOT amused, no it wasn't a cop, it was my Dad. I think I dug post holes for 6 months straight.
 
Not something I bought. But got in jail in Athens Greece with some buddies of mine in the Navy. Over a bar fight. The Fleet Admiral had to come get us out. Sure was a long time before we got liberty again.
