Default "Duh Moment" Jeepers

I wish I had a pic of it but It made me come home and start a thread on the topic. I was coming home and saw a 2 door with the sunrider protion of the top open. No big deal right?

The "Duh Moment" must have happened when he opened the sun rider part and disengaged the little lock tabs on the door surrounds. The top was soooo loose the side windows were no longer tucked along the bottom and the back window was so loose it looked like an accordion. The whole top was just kind of floating there. when he stopped it just kinda came to rest on the jeep again and when he took off it started to flail around again. Top completely in shambles and driving along happier than a boob in tit town.

No big deal as I sure have had my share of moments but was wondering what else everyone has seen? Rulebook says you need to include the "Duh Moment" in the post ... make it fun

The "Duh Moment" happened for me when I was busy one night and asked my husband to put my soft top up for me before it started to rain. Went to drive it the next morning and hit 35mph and the top flew up! He didn't latch it in Scared the crap out of me!

Balanced one of my hard top panels on my head while removing it for the first time. Next day my neck was sore as hell. Have not had the problem since

forgot to latch the hood on my old YJ once.
got going down the road and suddenly had no view.
lucky it was a fiberglass hood and didn't dent when it flew up.

Could never figure out while my soft top didn't seal correctly. Finally realized the side windows folded in

I changed the oil in a hurry to go on a trail run and left the oil cap sitting off under the hood. Drove 2 days before opening the hood finding I had left it off.. = immediate oil change and a smile bc I am an idiot.
