How NOT to handle a situation

[L4hlborg]

There are situations in the world that just have to be dealt with in some time. Sometimes, it just happens, that people fail while trying to do it.

My example would be this (don't watch if you don't like exploding dead whales).

Spoiler

Story in short:

A sperm whale died at a beach. And it started to rot, like dead things tend to do. So, someone got the brilliant idea to blow up the whale with a ridiculous amount of dynamite. Unfotunately, chunks of rotten whale meat flew around and apparently smashed into a car. And I've also heard that one piece destroyed someones roof-

I want to hear your stories about absolutely mindlessly stupid ways of taking care of any issue. Stories from your own life, friend's life, news etc. Anything goes, as long at is fail.

A friend of mine tried to get a stain out of his shirt by burning it.

yeah...

OH MAN! I had a great lucid dream over this whale detonation. It felt like being in the middle of a nuclear blast for some reason though, and I had an umbrella to stop me getting hit by whale bits.

Anyways...

The whale has been a staple of the internet viral videos for nearly as long as streaming video has existed.

True, but it's also an extremely good example of how not to get rid of a rotting whale corpse.

Oh man that is great, exploding whale corpse.

(yeah, it was a useless post but that's cause I can't think of any stories)

You know why that was a bad idea?
They didn't use enough explosives.
Fools.

My younger brother once decided to try and get a kernel of rice out of an electrical socket with a knife.
That was funny to watch.

Neonbob is going to fucking orgasm when he sees this.

Heh. You certainly called it!
*changes shorts*
That clip is good every time I see it.
Kinda like visiting your past, you know?

Oh my god, that's awesome and disgusting at the same time >.>

I've had a friend try to get stains out of things by burning them too. Couches... Shirts... pants...

We were driving by some guys that were pushing a broken down car down a road when one of them started waving his hand in a motion like he wanted us to slow down, so we did. Then he started waving his arms more furiously like he wanted us to slow down more. So we did. Apparently that wasn't what he wanted us to do, so he walks up and starts slamming his hands on the hood of our car like a deranged monkey. So we let him cool off and just make a gesture towards the hood and fenders that he just bashed up.

GG. We slam him with a $1000+ repair bill because he throws a hissy fit because he doesn't know how to signal a car to "STOP".

A friend of mine tried to get a stain out of his shirt by burning it.

yeah...

Use freeze spray, such as "Artic ice" to freeze the stain, then scratch it off with a blunt knife such as a butter knife. Hey look! i'm a housewife!. woot woot.

My PC caught fire several years ago, due to a cheap PSU, so my friend Scott threw his pint of lager at the fire... the fire from the PSU on the PC.

So he threw a liquid onto an electrical fire, yes, shit got worse.

not to mention he wasted a good fucking pint of lager, wanker.

My friend was tring to throw away a glass bottle after drinking some soda but couldn't find a garbage can so he decided to smash it on the ground but when he through it, it bounced back up and hit him in a face. The only time i've ever seen a glass bottle bounce.

Ah i see you two have finally begun attempting to concieve our messiah. Just one question, whose the man in this relationship?

Well, Max is a professed asexual being...so I don't know.
I guess whoever's DNA corresponds to the male...est part would be.

My mother has a strange hobby: collecting swords. Sabres, short swords, broadswords, anything. They hang on her walls, and they are sharpened. One day, my sister had a hissy fit when she didn't get her way, and hauled one off the wall to attack my mother with. My brother stepped in instantly and wrestled it away from her, but he has scars on his neck from where my sister tried to strangle him (she has long nails). Needless to say, the police were called. She's not allowed within our house without a police team on standby.

The funniest thing is that we constantly have to call the police because of her. When they showed up to investigate the house, at the last second we saw her (illegal) crack pipe on the table, and we couldn't hide it. It was amusing watching their reactions when we laughed and said, "Oh yeah, she also does crack."

Now she's getting knee surgery at the end of the month, and my mother is going to stay with her to care for her. Love to see how that will turn out.

My friend couldn't get a signal on his phone while we were driving, so- What's his ides?! Shut up and I'll tell you. He decides to stick it out the window. Just a few seconds later it hits a tree branch and his phone broke into many, many pieces.

Legendary fail. How was he supposed to talk on the phone, if it was out of the car window, even if the phone would have been ok?

Neonbob, I just now realized that I should take offense to your avatar. I love whales.

And for some reason, I just can't get mad at you. Which is exceptionally odd, as a subject like whales is one I would normally kill people over.

OT: Umm...I've got nothing.

AND Alcohol burns! Great thinking on that guys part.

Escort missions in games are not handled well by using spells that nuke everything in a 20 mile radius.

Yes I have done that when frustrated. It was funny.
