Don't feel bad. I was going to change the transmission fluid once and was in a bit of a hurry early one morning before I had my first cup of coffee.
I had the quart of transmission oil sitting there waiting for the old oil to drain. I'm waiting and waiting and waiting and all of a sudden I realize there was way to much oil coming out of the transmission. I had pulled the engine oil plug instead. I had just changed the engine oil a week before. After putting the engine oil plug back in, I removed the transmission plug and was letting it drain while I was re-filling the engine oil.
This is where it really gets stupid. After topping off the engine oil I grabbed the quart of transmission oil and started pouring it in when I notice fresh oil running onto the ground. I had forgotten to put the transmission plug back in.
Needless to say that wasn't one of my better mornings.
