Yup.

Two weeks ago - want to break the seal around the base of the gas tank after removing all of the top hoses and electrical connections. Floor jack underneath with 1x10 to prevent damage - jack, jack, jack POP spalsh splash splash. Damn, forgot about the fuel line underneath - gas everywhere. Quick - lights off, unplug stereo. "Honey, I've got to run to the store really quickly, be right back - uhhh, please don't turn on the lights in the garage...." 10 minutes and a couple of liters of fuel later - tank turned upright on it's side, kitty litter (I just bought) everywhere, fumes choking me as I pray to the god of all Porsches for no sparks...

About a week ago - Removed the fuel lines from my MFI 2.4, gas all over the engine and drippign onto the (oil stained) floor. Use the kitty litter (bought the previous week) again to soak it up, but that $#%^& smell persists. Few days later drop the engine, holler to wife - come see what progress I've made - hoping for some real excitement (because I was so thrilled). The only comment I get is "What is that disgusting odor, I've got to go..." Not the excitement I was hoping for.

I guess mine aren't very good stories compared you the others here, but I can understand how you felt.

The joys of being your own mechanic...
