We had an engineer at my company who had a hard time measuring where to put hole in a sheet of aluminum for a test device SHE was making. I, the non-"engineer" measured and marked the holes. Several days later, I saw her complaining that the twist drill was dull. She said she'd been trying for 30 minutes to drill one of the holes and couldn't. I grabbed the drill out of her hands, flipped the switch to forward and walked away.

Funny story. That same thing happened to me before and I made the damn drill work. After I got the hole drilled I sheepishly realized what I had done. Ugliest hole I ever drilled.
