Not very likely to actually kill me, but pretty dumb anyway.
I was a teenager, coming home pretty late with everybody else asleep (pretty normal, I was a well-behaved kid and we live in a safe country so it was no big deal). I thought I'd make myself some toast before hitting the bed. I'm pretty comfortable doing stuff in the dark, so I didn't bother to put the lights on, partly because I didn't want to wake anybody up.
Didn't have toast, so used some other bread, which got stuck in the toaster. I tried to fish it out with a knife. Except without the lights I couldn't see inside the toaster. So I put the toaster back on before sticking the knife back in again.
Only managed to kill the toaster.
