Good stories guys 
I've done stupid things when working on cars late and tired - simple jobs take 3x as long.
Only things I can think of right now are to do with noises... ages ago, for a while I was getting this knocking noise from the right rear of the car when cornering. Couldn't figure it out. A few days later, the car was parked, and I saw that one rear wheel's lug nut was missing, and some ofg the others were loose. I think the noise was the wheel not sitting flush on the hub and shifting when cornering
Another time, late at night I heard this faint weird tinkling sound. It was persistant, so 2 blocks later figured I should pull over. Thoguht some kids had tied something to my exhaust or something. Looked around, then noticed the passenger seatbelt was extended and trapped in the door, and I had been dragging
the latch all the way down the street. Broke of the plastic belt guide bar (why do toyota make the latch metal, but the bar above plastic?? Could be one peice) Still works.
