Moments of "doh!"

[Frog]

We've all had them. (And I have plenty!)
Share, but let's do it just one at a time so more can play.
I'll start with that ever popular printing of a board without a shirt, and the ensuing sound of the screen breaking free of the adhesive.

[Prince Art]

How about when you don't realize until you're packing up the order that there are shirts missing? Somehow the entire order has gone through ordering, receiving, printing, and catching, then you look at the paperwork, and say, "Wait, where are the 5 extra smalls?"
Doesn't happen often. But when it does... "doh!" barely covers it.

I left a floodbar or squeegee clamp on a pallet during setup. Went to register another position, hit the table lift button on the printhead, and POW! Had to reshoot, dry, tape, and re-register that position.

That's not as bad as lifting tables into a quartz flash with something sitting on a pallet. Not that I ever have.

I hate to say it, but if it is a bonehead move, I've probably done it.

Pushing to hard on the touch screen for an auto press..... crack/spiderweb.....

Darn thing wasn't responding.... grrr... I felt like such an idiot.

Burning film backwards and not notice until you tape up and start to register screens on press who does that,  me me me me!!

Used the darn metal paint spatula that I even ground the corners on,
that yup- just went through the screen, again!

An invention for someone- make a stronger goop scoop with more of a beveled end
that doesn't hold any ink coming out of a 5'er.

sorry Darryl, while this is not a competition, I can top that! We actually went ahead and printed the job thinking the backwards screen was background for the art!!!
DUHHHH!

How do you spell BASKETBALL? We spell it BASETBALL. But only for an NBA TEAM

One of my finer moments has to be indexing a pallet under an empty print head catching said printhead (which was unlatched at the time) in the process and shearing the stop block on a tri-lock pallet off.

[Prince Art]

There's also leaving a pallet under the flash, walking away for awhile, then having 4 ft high flames catch your attention. (I was only a witness to that one!)

Doh! is bad enough. But if it's Doh! the customer sees, you're playing at another level.

  Many, many years ago, I spelled it basketballl.
