The other day, I was putting some chain lube on my chain. The top of the spray bottle broke off, and any attempts to put chain lube on the chain ended up just spraying oil all over the place. Sometimes when you try to make things better, they just end up messy. However, some of the oil did make it onto the chain. If I didn't attempt the mess, I would have had an unlubricated chain. Even though there was oil everywhere, the chain did get lube on it and was better.
