Total moron destroyed my garage door

[IReallyLikePizza2]

Unreal!



I hit the the wrong button, I supposed to hit the gate button but I hit the garage, it just so happened my front wheel had already cleared the sensors so it kept coming

Thankfully I was able to just get the bottom panel replaced, a $650 mistake! Company came out and fixed the same day, so at least t was fast! Now I need to clean the rest of the door

Been there, done that. I forgot I had to unhook the door and raise it all the way up to get the back hoe in.
I tore the bottom panel into a U shape. I took it off straightened it enough to block the opening until I got to town to get a replacement.

I got the "I'm a garage door dumbass" tee shirt as well, about 2 months ago but I elected to barely scratch the door and do more damage to my wife's Fusion.

Got in the car, pushed the button, started the car, looked in the backup camera, saw an open driveway, put her in reverse and began backing out. The problem? The door stopped before going all the way up.....I'm thinking I must have accidentally pressed the button again which WILL stop the door.

The damage to the car? Busted the high, 3rd brakelight LED above the rear window and raked the satellite radio/GPS "sharkfin" antenna off the roof.....cool move.

My late wife, bless her heart, was leaving one morning and had our infant daughter with her. Her car was in the garage, door open, running with our daughter in the back. My wife, meaning well, decided to lower the garage door a few feet "to make it harder for someone to take the car with our daughter in it" while she ran back in the house to grab something. As expected, when she came back out she forgot the had been lowered the door and backed into it. Fortunately the damage was minimal and we didn't need to get it fixed, but I just had to shake my head when she called.

If I can find the video, I'll post it.

I was standing by at another volunteer fire department's station, sitting in the driveway with our rescue when their rescue came back. The driver proceeded to open the door and show how "cool" he was by swinging in and backing quickly. Well... He didn't wait for the door to go up, and nailed the bottom 1/3 of the door. It took all I could to not laugh... He stormed out of the cab yelling, "Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!!!!!"

At our fire station, we have lost the bottom section of a door so many times, we have a spare sitting there for the idiot to replace.
None of them were me, thank goodness.
