| Well I saw a hole in the hose and panicked looking around the house for outdoor tape. I couldn't find it so I called my mom and she said turn off the water. I did and Boy DO I FEEL STUPID LOL! |

Why? That's what I would have done!  
Stuff like this happens to me nearly every day.

I do that kind of stuff all the time! lol. I've gotten into a lot of trouble with it, or have gone about making elaborate contraptions out of household items.
Once we had a leak coming from the bathtub faucet-the problem was it was only hot water, and it would literally melt plastic things that sat underneath it. Well, I didn't think to turn off the hot water heater, until the guy came to fix it, or turn the temperature down even.
What I did was find some paper towel rolls and taped them together, so the water wouldn't be flowing constantly in the bathtub (keeping us awake) and the kids wouldn't be tempted to touch the water. I lead it to the toilet, duct taped one end around the faucet and the other under the toilet seat. Then I wrapped it all up in foil, a couple of times, then put saran wrap around it as well (all to try to prevent leaking since I KNEW that the paper towel rolls would eventually leak since they were cardboard). It sat like that for a few days, lol, and when the guy came to fix it... he looked at all of that and said "it's clever and all, but why didn't you just turn the temperature down?"

| Oh pff. Calling yourself stupid for no reason. Was the hole big? Ah this brings back memories about the duck tape our family would use on the water heater and pipeing, but never the water hoses, which always squirted. One of them just turned into a hard, curved green tube... uhm.. I mean wood like stick.. after a long time. |

Yeah. Tell me about it. How can we be so logical and analytical and yet, in certain situations, have very little common sense?

| Thinking about a lack of common sense reminds me of a line from the book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, "One day the cat got into the dairy and twenty of them were at work moving all the milk out; no one thought of moving the cat." |

Exactly! Then I'll fume and take the criticism to heart and about a week later the commonsense logical alternative to my faux pas solution hits me full force!
It's like the Aspie brain is "blind" in certain situations. |
