My dp once spent the WHOLEday taking the washing machine apart because it had conked out. I got home from work and simply asked - have you thought of changing the fuse?
He hadn't. I'm still a bit smug about that one.
Last year, he went out ang got v. drunk - drunk enough for someone to steal his credit card and spent almost £900 on it. He didn't even realise it was gone till the following afternoon!!!
He managed to get the money repaid quite quickly though, to be fair.
