Be honest. I mean situations such as water pissing out under your washing machine. I mean breaking a string one minute before the gig starts. Or discovering that your amp has gone silent a few minutes before you play, especially when depping.
Do you fume and say fuck fuck and wonder out loud why does this always happen to me? Are you a capable diy person who knows where the stopcock/mcb unit is?. Would you know who to call in to fix a leaking radiator pipe?
I know a lot of you guys are good with your hands - the builds and upgrades are amazing. Not sure what my question is really but can you perform under pressure or when in the spotlight?

Same as @dafuzz it's others getting stressed around me that knackers me.
Generally I'm pretty level-headed.

Kind of agree with Dafuzz as well, if I'm on my own I'II fix it, if others are around and they are the type to busily organise a hierarchy of competence and competitive alpha maleship amidst their panic and shouting, I'II just walk away and have a fag or just fix it anyway.
Life is too short for panicking and I find my seemingly complacent manner, calmness and reasonably total adversity to danger, whilst having a handle on caution in a crisis and being methodological just upsets and antagonises people who are busy panicking and trying to organise a committee to deal with the problem.
Although in all honesty sometimes I'II just walk away and have a fag anyway, I'm not a very good team player, especially with morons.
But then I wouldn't classify a mains pressure leak or the washing machine leaking as a crisis.

Did that very thing then went outside with my head down like a naughty school kid and uttered,barely audibly to my wife "I've done something really stupid"
Oddly she found it quite amusing.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
I often 'lose it' over much more minor things.
