Good idea: Decorate your living room wall.
Bad idea: Decide that you want to use white squares to make a mural. As you stick them up, you grow frustrated with the fact that the sticky backing is not holding and decide, in what I must say was an awesome decision, to superglue the squares to the wall. Of course, you are eyeballing this, as why would you want to level something that is being superglued to your wall? As you step back and look at your crooked square you decide that you will just gently pry it off and straighten it out. Of course, at your first gentle tug, it pops off along with the plaster from the wall behind it. So, there you stand, superglueing plaster back to your drywall next to the other hanging squares that you now decidedly hate.
Moral of the story: When you get the urge to superglue squares to your wall, just put down the glue and walk away. As a failsafe, having a brother-in-law that wields a mean putty knife doesn't hurt.
