>mom asks me to change a light bulb
>lamp housing in front of house has 2 lamps inside
>one controlled with a switch and one controlled with a sensor
>decide to remove one and connect the other one to the switch and the sensor in parallel
>notice the sensor lamp does not turn on, no problem, I'll fix it
>cables are a goddam mess (thanks dad)
>4 cables go to the sensor, it actually needs 3
>cables are spliced multiple times, with different color segments
>bring a spare cable to test continuity to identify which cable is what
>dogs chew my cable when I wasn't looking
>reconnect the lamp, sensor doesn't work
>the sensor detects presence (small led turns on), but does not activate the lamp
>eventually realize that the relay inside is always on (transistor got fucked)
>SMD transtor
>its not only soldered to the board but also glued because fuck you
>remove it and replace it with a insertion transistor nigger soldered in place
>then I realize I soldered it backwards, thankfully nothing got damaged
>it works!

TLDR: it took me 6 hours to change a light bulb
