Or a reasonably thinking home-owner. Sure - there are a few idiots out there.
That doesn't mean most do-it-your-self-ers are the same.

Thinking of the idiot who connected the gas line to the cold water
inlet, thinking it would make the water hotter. That didn't work at
first, then it became a 10,000% success (at least according to the
fire department).


Show me documentation that this really happened. It is pretty hard to believe.


Especially considering that the lines have differences sizes and threads.
You'd have to spend a few hours down at the local home depot looking through
the wall of couplers and adapters to find the two or three adapters you
have to tie together to adapt the gas line to a water in/outlet.
