Thinking that experiment would work.
Failure
(This is never what it's supposed to look like.)

Buying this beer as consolation:

And discovering it tastes of cotton candy dissolved in Heineken.

Wearing these shoes:
Flat shoes

In this.
Snow
Also, Snooty Town's spectacular plowing.

Not clearing off one's car.
Truck

Parking one's car in Snooty Town.
Dead car
(And you thought I was kidding about the gangs! This car did, indeed, end up in Even More Hellacious City.)

Bad idea and good idea together:

Offering to make challah for the friend who just had major surgery.

But baking it late at night.

Bad idea:
Asking Mr. S to take it out of the oven. Before the ends charred.

Only really good idea:

Buffy
Declaring Thursday a SNOW DAY and watching Buffy all morning.
