Ever done anything really stupid?

[Molitoth]

First thing this morning I got a call from a business owner renter of mine.

Renter: "Were you in my office last night doing some kind of work?"

Me: "Yes, I was working on spraying some insulation foam in a few cracks."

Renter: "You left my front door unlocked all night."

Me: (Melt in my chair feeling really unprofessional and idiotic)


God I feel stupid.


Any stories to make me feel better?

[Mr. Plow]

Nope. Everything I've done in my life has been perfect. Sounds like you are just a bad bad person.


:D

[EyePod]

That's not that bad. Did anything get stolen? It would have been much worse if it had...

[munkey]

Any stories to make me feel better?


Phillfree got punched in the face by a woman and told everyone here about it....:)

[BigRedChief]

I could fill volumes of pages with the stupid things I've done.

[Royal Fanatic]

It sounds like an honest mistake. If nothing was stolen, I wouldn't beat myself up about. I'd just apologize and move on.

Look at it this way. You're going to make mistakes later on in life that are much worse than this.

I cosigned for a car for a guy I was only dating.

I was about 13 years old, living at my aunt's place for about 2 months (over seas). So one morning, I woke up (horny as always) and decided to flog the dolphin into the bathroom sink (WTF?) to an old Playboy magazine. Anyway, something happened to were I got distracted after I was done and totally forgot to clean up and left the house. I remember coming back home and seeing the Playboy on the kitchen table. I felt a little awkward realizing she had to clean up the mess...

Back in high school, I was practicing making out in the mirror because I had a date that weekend. My stepdad walked in on me.

[Demonpenz]

I once went to the self checkout line at walmart and took a bunch of stuff over there, I had like 100 dollars worth of stuff but it wouldn't let me go over 12 items so i sat there for like 30 minutes scanning 12 items swiping items, until i was done, then when I left someone saw all this shit I had in my bag but only saw 22 dollars or whatever on my Ringup sign. so I had to tell them what I done, they looked at me like a moron, do you know how moronical you have to look to get the look that you are a moron in wal mart. Luckily i had all 4 reciepts to show them

2 handles of mccormick's vodka between my friend and I over the course of 4 hours

woke up in the middle of the night to find vomit on my bedspread..decided to wash it

woke up in the morning to find my friend sleeping in my bathtub using my shower curtain as a blanket but I couldn't find the damn sheets I put in the wash

noticed a smell coming from the dryer

spent the morning cleaning chunks out of the dryer screen and washing the inside of the dryer

also we had to go get our checks that morning from this factory we worked at seasonal..it was the last checks for seasonal employees and it was really awkward applying for another season 4 months in advanced smelling of putrid rancid vomit

[Jilly]

we keep our adult movies in the nightstand by the bed....sometimes in the case, sometimes not. Luckily the DVD's themselves have graphic pics on them so you always know what they are. My 16 month old often opens drawers that are not baby proofed and pulls things out of them. Sure enough, she had a dvd in her hand...I quickly grabbed it from her before she was scarred for life, and laid it on my dresser to put away. I forgot that it was cleaning lady day (an awesome, you're having a baby gift from my mother in law). Yep, pretty sure the cleaning lady now knows a little more in depth than what i would like about our sex life.

About 10 years ago on an early Spring morning I decided to fire up my little Ford 8N tractor. She started just fine but I felt this sting on my butt. I thought what the hell? A couple of seconds later I felt several more sharp stings and jumped up out of my seat and off the tractor. Only problem was the tractor was in 1st gear. As I watched the tractor roll down the terrace and across my yard I saw several wasps fly out of the seat cushion. As I realized what the source of stinging was I noted the tractor was headed straight for the pond.

Well I just couldn't let the tractor go riderless into the pond so I ran up along side. It was only moving 2 MPH so I decided to jump on to prevent it from rolling into the pond. Well either my shoes were wet or I just plain missed...I don't clearly recall. The damn tractor ran me over and I ended up one leg pointing north and the other pointed south.

I didn't get hurt too bad...a couple of cracked ribs. The worst part was calling a tow truck to pull my tractor out of the pond. The tow truck operator asked how the hell the tractor got in the pond. I looked him square in the eye and told him it must have been vandals.

[Halfcan]

I have Never done anything stoopid-lol

[Braincase]

I forgot to take my glasses off the other day as I stepped into the shower.

Yeah, not that interesting. MLIA.

[Ecto-I]

When I was about 10 years old, I decided to do the old "glass of water, centrifugal force experiment," where you swing the glass overhead just fast enough so the water doesn't spill out. So, I got a nice glass of water from the kitchen tap, warmed up my arm, and let er' whirl...only problem is, in the kitchen, the ceiling is about 8 ft high so at the top of my swing, the glass collided with the lights causing a cacophony of glass bursting along with shards exploding everywhere. My Mom came running to the kitchen to see what happened.

I claimed that the glass globes covering the lights looked loose and I was trying to fix them...she didn't buy it.

[Fritz88]

Yeah, piss contains ammonia, which will whiten teeth and destroy enamel at the same time. Next time, just chug some Windex.

Well, my urine was actually pretty good. It didn't contain a strong odor and is clear in colour which usually is an indication that its composition makeup would be roughly about 95% water and urea, which is less toxic.

Ammonia comes from the breakdown of urea. if your piss is really strong in odor and extremely yellow in colour, chances are it will contain ammonia which derives from bacteria production in the body.

Back in my barhopping days, a bunch of us would generally hit one of three 24 hour restaurants after closing time (God bless the poor people who worked there). We'd all be in various stages of fucked up, and eventually a mystery cup would be created. The mystery cup begins life as coffee, but when it becomes cold and half-empty, other random ingredients (applesauce, cigarette butts, green beans, butter pats, chewed gum, etc.) are added. The idea is to see if anybody at the table is drunk and stupid enough to be fooled into drinking it, and then the idea is to see if they can actually keep it down.

This did get nasty a few times, but luckily I was never the victim. :evil:

[mlyonsd]

Does running a hand held 110 v belt sander on locked trigger mode, then not paying attention while you're trying to pull more electrical cord around a corner so you could keep moving down the floor count?

When you do that it is very prudent to watch how close the belt sander running on full power gets to your loosely attached short shirt sleeve. When it caught the shirt and sucked my arm up into the spinning belt by the time I got it shut off my bicep skin and stopped the belt from spinning and the motor was just humming.

Ripped about two square inches of bicep skin off down to the muscle.

And, it hurt like a MF.

I once did a project interview with a guy who made a major, major mistake. As in, national news type of major, major mistake. If I said what it was, half of you would remember it, and it was a decade ago. I didn't know it was him, and unfortunately my research topic was related to the mistake. He was a nice guy, and he told me about it, and I was sympathetic because it really was an innocent mistake. But I found it very funny when he said, "you make one mistake, and people won't let you forget it".

Dude, that was not a normal mistake.

I left a pen in a shirt pocket once and the wife didn't see it when she was doing laundry. It survived the washer but exploded in the dryer, ruining about half the clothes in the load in the process.

A buddy of mine has a turbocharged Honda PWC. Supposedly it'll do 70 on really calm water. I was jumping some wakes in the main channel of the Lake of the Ozarks and got ballsy. I went a little heavy on the throttle and hit one perfectly as it crested at about 50-55 MPH. I had another buddy on another waverunner behind me and he said I was easily 12' off the water. At about the pinnacle of the jump I had to decide to try to land it or bail. I chose to bail. I didn't completely clear, though and my right foot slapped some fiberglass on my way into the water, breaking my third metatarsal.

What's even better is that my main reason for being at the lake is that I had a wedding there that evening (I wasn't in the wedding, thank God). I spent the ceremony in the hospital and showed up for the reception on crutches.

When I was about 10 or 11 I found an old .22 bullet laying around. I messed with that thing, trying to get the bullet out of the casing. I messed and messed with that thing and got it loose enough for the gunpowder to fall out of it. Well, I was determined to get that bullet out of that casing so I could see what it looked like, so I put it down on the concrete and hit it with a hammer...once...twice...3rd time BANG! This was right in the middle of the neighborhood and my baby brother (3 at the time) was sitting directly in front of me when it went off. He fell backwards (just scared, not shot) and I was standing there wide eyed with my mouth open in total shock as my Dad came running out of the house to see what had happened. Luckily nobody was hurt but I have NO idea where that bullet ended up. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

When I was about 10 or 11 I found an old .22 bullet laying around. I messed with that thing, trying to get the bullet out of the casing. I messed and messed with that thing and got it loose enough for the gunpowder to fall out of it. Well, I was determined to get that bullet out of that casing so I could see what it looked like, so I put it down on the concrete and hit it with a hammer...once...twice...3rd time BANG! This was right in the middle of the neighborhood and my baby brother (3 at the time) was sitting directly in front of me when it went off. He fell backwards (just scared, not shot) and I was standing there wide eyed with my mouth open in total shock as my Dad came running out of the house to see what had happened. Luckily nobody was hurt but I have NO idea where that bullet ended up. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

WOW! Ok that one counts. :eek:

I once had an awkward moment, to see how it feels.

At 14 I made a fake bomb, left it at a friends house to show my handy work, friend came home and called 911, bomb squad and fire department got everyone out of bed and down the street, my mom broke through the barricade to inform the officers "It's fake, my son made it", ended up in the news and newspaper, faced a very angry judge. Worst of all, none of the neighbors wanted me anywhere near their house or kids.

In my 20's, I saved my cash so I could go to the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), met some big Texan who ran his mouth how he could take anyones punch, traded punches (not a fight, just punches), got kicked out of The Thomas and Mack Center, missed the whole rodeo, walked around with a messed up jaw the rest of the week.

Barns are made for doing stupid crap. I jumped out of the loft with a bedsheet (parachute). I didn't break anything, but my feet hurt for a week.

Nope. I was pissed. I took my shots and all three times he flinched or tried ducking. I hit him, but not half as solid as I let him hit me. I guess that makes me the dumb one. On a good note, he did buy me a lot of beers after we got kicked out.

That's a good one.

My similar story isn't as serious, but it would be a better movie scene. I've told it before, but after 70,000 posts I've told everything before.

When I was in high school, my dad would take me to car auctions so I could drive cars home for him. At one of them, they would occasionally sell other stuff, and I got a crossbow for five bucks or thereabouts. (I think my dad even bought it for me.) It was homemade with a hand-carved stock and what I think was a car spring as the bow part.

I found an archery shop and bought some crossbow bolts for some outrageous price and took it over to a friend's house with another friend of mine. Fortunately (since there was no forethought involved), he lived on a big acreage that was part ranch, part woods.

The three of us set up a target, but had no idea what kind of power a crossbolt has. So with the very first shot, we cocked it and held it up at a 45 degree angle pointed toward nothing in particular, and pulled the trigger, assuming it would go across the field and then we'd chase it down.

I'm assuming it landed at some point, but the last I saw of that bolt, it was headed over the horizon like a Tomahawk missile. I had no concept of the power that thing had. It was staggering. We watched it fly away, and eventually I asked my friend, "Are there any people over that way?" He didn't think so, because it was headed off into the woods, but if at some point a dead hunter's skeleton is found with a crossbow bolt in his skull, I'm headed to Mexico.

ROFL Don't go to Mexico. They'll extradite you back. Go to Costa Rica. No extradition treaty there :thumb:

Metatarsal? You mean your toe! Don't be so dramatic. :) Seriously though, you went to the hospital and got crutches for a broken toe? I've never heard of that.

Toe = Phlanges.

The metatarsals are the bones on the top of the foot. And it is GD impossible to walk with a broken one unless you're superman.

a teacher of mine from high school was a very good story teller. (true stories btw)

He told the a story about him and his brother. They had each just gotten those little plastic bows with plastic arrows with suckers (plungers) at the end. you know, the cheap ones from gas stations etc..

Well his brother and him took the plungers off the end as soon as they got home (what young kid wouldnt...) and they sharpened them to a fine point..

They had their fun shooting at birds, bunnies, etc... and as they were running through the trees, his brother tripped, jamming all 3 of his arrows into his open mouth, into the inside of his cheek, gums, and one in the back of his throat..

Needless to say, he rode to the doctors office with 3 arrows firmly planted into his mouth, and it took them some manuvering to get them out..

Moral of the story, don't run in the halls... (that seriously was his moral of his story.....)

Oh, and as an ironic aside, I actually did break my toe last weekend (I assume I did, anyway, I'm not going to the doctor for it, but I stubbed the shit out of it and it's all purple) and I ran 3 miles on it last night and planning on doing 6 today. So I agree with your assertion about the lack of severity with a broken toe.

Did it feel awkward?

Slightly, yes.

Weird, I had a 2nd cousin that died from a crossbow bolt that the police assumed some damn kids shot into the woods. :hmmm:

One time I had a crush on a co worker. I talked about her endlessly on an internet forum. I posted a picture of her, with her phone number in the picture.

KABOOM!

[Kyle DeLexus]

Damn... Do you have a Phd in piss? :D

I bet he does, and I bet he's the guy that does all the drug testing for the NFL and MLB.(everyone knows they don't really give drug tests in the NBA)

I'm sure the only reason we haven't heard about it before is because he didn't want to offend Hootie.

My brother had a compound/open fracture (aka it was sticking out of the skin) in his toe and had to wear a boot and use crutches.

The most interesting man in the world did something stupid?

So one day when I was about 3 or 4, my parents told me not to wander off too far. I didn't really listen because watching little league wasn't too exciting, and I wanted to go play in the woods. Next thing I know, there's a stick that comes flying out of no where and jams itself into my foot. I later found out that some a**hole must've been hunting with a bow & arrow or a crossbow or something...they never found who it was, though.

As a child: had my eyes closed, and walked into a bare lightbulb. Nice 2nd-degree lightbulb-shaped burn on my left tit. Later that week, got into a fight. Other kid throws the first punch. Doesn't know what happened to me, yet manages to punch me right in the burn. I crumpled like hit by lightning. That kid probably thought he was Rocky Balboa.
