This morning I spent 6:05 to 7:15 modelling something. Now it was a very box like object and I figured out this, what I thought was great, idea for doing it. Making a plane and folding it into the shape like a net. What a bad idea it was. As I worked at it into shape, looking over the help file desperately, trying to find ways to bend the plane the way I want it began to have visual errors which made the work harder. Eventually, I began trying to merely shape it into a long box rather then the odd shape I first intended. I spent about a half the time trying to make a box. Guess what, I failed. Shutting down the computer and storming off to listen to music and trying to relax the solution hit me. I was trying to make a box, and the easiest way would the one right in front of me. Use the object creation tool! Argh!
Leason learnt, step back and look at what you are doing more often. And use objects and shape them rather then shape objects from a plane.
Learn from my lapse of stupidty, and laugh and make fun of it so I never do such a stupid thing again.

Wait, whey the hell were you trying to make a box out of a plane? Why not make a box out of hmmm, a box maybe? lol... 
The box is like the first button, how did you manage to try to use the plane to do a box?
