At least you weren't being paid to do that work for somebody else....!
Never had a mishap with an oil change, but the oil filler cap on my Triumph Scrambler worked loose while riding and THAT was interesting. It was a brown geyser shooting oil everywhere, what a hot stinky mess, oil all over me and the exhaust, which smoked aplenty.
Fortunately a good samaritan stopped and loaned me some tools to fish the cap out of the space on the engine it settled into and work the cap back on the bike.
I actually posted this story in the Triumph forum and lo and behold 2 weeks later a new design oil filler cap direct from Triumph showed up! Impressive!
