What have you done that made you say you'll never do it again?

Mine came today, when I found some glass I had put into bundles and wrapped them together with masking tape. I think it has been that way a couple of years. In Florida heat. Sticky doesn't quite convey the mess left on the rods when I took off the tape. I tried alcohol, finger nail polish, pulling it off with tape, and I forget what all.
What worked the best was dousing it with vegetable oil, then rubbing it off with a paper towel after a few moments for the oil to melt it a bit.
