What is the stupidest thing you have ever done?

[rutger5000]

When I was little I repeatedly stepped on a rake to see if it could fly up and hit you in the face like in cartoons.

FYI? They can.

Did that too, lost my first tooth that day.

had a moment whilst changing light bulbs n decided to see what would happen if i put my finger in the socket... wasn't pretty n taking the shocked step back whilst on a ladder didn't work to well either

Probably that time I ground up and ate some Morning Glory seeds, in order to avail of the LSA ensconced therein. It led to an intensely bad trip, followed by a lot of vomiting, probably caused by the pesticides coating the seeds. Or the fact that I decided the watch The Fantastic 4 halfway through the whole sordid experience.

Made fun of Twilight in front off 4 fan-girls... Let's just say it didn't end well... Hey, even a guy my size would be overpowered by 4 mad fan-girls!!!

Hmmm found another one, that's gonna affect me negatively in the somewhat near future: All the time I'm spending lurking on the Escapist is going to negatively affect my grades and may exclude me from my job choice!

These threads seem to pop up every now and then.

When I was 15-16, I broke up with an absolutely beautiful model-looking girl (so beautiful that a bunch of friends I only saw about twice a year, asked about where that girl was), who was probably the smartest, nicest, and in almost every way perfect girl. I had dated her a few months. And the reason for me to do that was that she wasn't too good at giving head. So instead of giving her some advice on that, in my youthful stupidity I dumped her. I suppose those were the best days in regards of getting nice attention from girls, so I didn't think too much of wasting a one-in-a-million chance there. Also, for an odd reason, I bunked with my ex/friend, who I still had some feelings for, for a couple weeks to be nearer a school-related workplace.

That has haunted me in a horrible manner. Still somewhat does.

And couple years later, if I weren't so depressed, I wouldn't have worsened my friendships. Which lead me to be more sad and having to break up (mutually, as I knew she had gotten bored of me, but still with a very bad taste in my mouth as I didn't actually want to break up) with a long-term girlfriend who I deeply loved.

She was quite probably the love of my life. In the meanwhile, most of my friendships had dulled down to being more of distant buddies and I had also, in my depressed state, failed to graduate from school. And in the end, I was left from graduation by about a week's worth of schoolwork, and through some bad luck I haven't been able to do that later either. In the midst of that, I also faced some financial issues. I've always been rather poor, but that did complicate some things a bit still.

So I pretty much ruined my life in few months, from a small spark as getting sad from not being too close to friends...

And now it did strike me: Why am I pouring my heart out in this thread?

Did this happen recently or a long time ago? And how are you doing now?

And I thought I had it bad, being sick all the time, missing allot in class, not having good grades, probably gonna fail this year.

OT: There have been alot of stupid things I have done before, but one of the most stupidest things that stands out the most was when I was 12 year old and I saw a pipe in front of my school, and because I was a f****** dumba** I put my keys in that were on this strap, to see if they would get stuck and...

**SPOILER ALERT**

...they did get stuck, what made that situation even better was that some of my friends saw that and started laughing at me. My father wasnt very happy when I told him that.

I wish I had a nickname like that, and an epic incident that created said nickname. You are a genius, and that is the best idea anyone has ever given me in a long time. Thankyou.

Well, I very often walk into things, that makes me feel pretty stupid. A few months ago I did some washing up and place one of our sharp knives on the draining rack, point up. About fifteen seconds later, I reached right across it and managed to slice open my forearm. That didn't make me feel too clever

Too 'Cleaver'

 

[crudus]

I once decided to see if I could set my hand on fire with a magnifying glass.

Ok you need to sate my curiosity here... did it work!?

No, it hurt like hell and eliminated a layer of skin. I couldn't get passed that point since I was inside a restaurant using their lights rather than the sun.

Roughly from 18 to 20. So a couple years back. Things are actually a bit worse now, with kind of depression, social issues, identity crisis, money problems and a few other life problems. If I win in the lottery, I'd might just pull through. I feel more numbness, frustration and disappointment than pure sadness still.

And that is a realistic view on things. Shit happens, I bet there are people who could deal better with these shortcomings and mistakes.

By the way, Welcome To The Escapist

Hey, it's cheaper than a shrink

That said, I really hope things get better for you.

I dropped my cellphone in the school's soup and then tried to clean it in water when I was 14 xD

 

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

Married my ex-wife.

Stupidest thing I've ever done in more ways than one.

I feel the same way about marrying my ex husband. I had miscarried 2 days before and had just had major surgery the day before. I was definatley not in my right mind when I married him

When i was a kid, probably like 12 or 13, i listened to my older brother talk to his friends when someone said that if you put a battery in a car's exhaust pipe it would explode. Can you guess where this is going?

A bright kid as i was, i put a battery in a car's exhaust pipe. There was no explosion, either because it was not possible or because i didn't really shove it too far in, but it was nonetheless a phenomenally stupid thing to do.

Heh, yeah, I suppose.

Thanks for that.
