Same story with network patch cables: cut cable, crimp plug, add plug boot.

I have never done that, nope, not ever, that was good for a laugh. Always put an extra inch or two in the line, for.....ummm.....errrrr.....contingencies

I can honestly say I’ve never done that, but MAN have I come close! REALLY close.

I’ve never done it either, but I’ve been the asshole handing the fitting to the person just a second too late. ( Because I noticed it on the bench a second too late, but my father still was irritated that I found it amusing.) It taught me a valuable lesson with it though.

Other favorite is have it fall a ways down the line, bend the line then realize the nut cant be brought to the flare. Lots of “aw fuck” coming out of NYankee’s bay back in the day.
