We've all done stupid things in our lives.What are some of yours? I tend to make alot of typos when I'm not paying attetion. I remember once when I was in 3rd grade I was making a mask for a project.I had cut the eyeholes,really,really,really,really, small.I had put the mask on and was walking around class.A small table/counter/cubby juts out from the wall.I was behind and the eyeholes were so small I walked right into it,blasting the air from my lungs because I hit it so hard.I leaned right over it and almost fall over it. The entire class was howling with laughter,even my grumpy teacher was laughing. So what are some of your stupid things from the past?

<font color="cyan">Oh boy.
In a sorta order. Time wise...ish. Sitting in a guys garage, playing with candles, not realising there was a hellova lot of flammable stuff near us. We were trying to make lights for our den. Twas dark. Was about 8. Anyway, nuff said. In Chemistry:my mate filled a pencil tin with deodorant, I lit it while he was still spraying, and boom. Can didnt go, but there was so much deo that we burnt the ceiling, and a lof of our hair. Got quite done for that. Suspended for putting fighting. Had a three girl best friend love triangle. (this is a 3yr thing). In Chemistry again: Stuck a pencil in a blob of plasticine, sprayed the play-doh in deo, lit it, and chucked it. Lol. Trajectory was awesome. Hit a lad, burnt his shirt. Got quite done. Went down a near vertical quarry track on my mountain back. Maybe near 25ft. Did it :D So, a day later, tried the big one, that only one village lad completed. It must have been a 100ft drop from start to finish, some bits near vertical some just quite steep. Came down, and left the bike at a serious speed. Just fell off. That bike, erm, never rode again. The old gas tap flamethrower : this time I hit someone, burning their hip. Lol. Suspended for fighting again: Only ever two fights during school. Not bad. Got thrown out of a GCSE exam, for putting my hair into 6inch spikes for fun. Got thrown out for distracting others. I was just sat there. lol. They let me back in as soon as I washed it out. Crashed my car. Driving stupidly. Made a pen bomb with my mate in Science. Stuck matches and sandpaper inside pen, then gave to a mate, he pushed it and aaaaaaggh. Lol. Did the above with a tennis ball, and launched it as high as we could. This was a safe experiment. We told everyone in the playground to stay away. Rang college telling them I was absent because I was on a college trip. Got busted for that one then. Got caught doing weed by my mum at the age of 14. And an undisclosed bottle that was my mates. :S Had a porn stash found at 13. (embarrising more than out) Put a hole in my spare room wall (last week). Dad's not found out yet. :( Scraped all the drive, by getting a crane to tow my wrecked car down the drive with no wheels on. Brakes cut the drive up. Did that today :D . I mean :( . Dad will see that 2moz. DEAD! I'll add more as I think of them. </font> [ 01-23-2003, 07:42 PM: Message edited by: Lavindathar ] |
One very stupid thing i once did, was when i was riding a bike, and didn't pay attention to what was happening in front of me. I was looking to my right, to see if i could find a few friends. Suddenly there was this car, i tried to go around it, but crashed into the headlights with my knee. Nearly lost my leg there. So riding a bike, and not paying attention to the road, isn't a very smart thing to do. :D
|
I had something sort of similar to that johnny. Riding my bicycle wasn't paying attention and saw my friends up front a little far away started riding fast and heard a car beep to the left of me looked crashed into a pole.

Well, I can't remember anything from when I was !hic! drinking, but I've pulled a few boners when I was sober, also.
<ul>[*]walking down the street observing the leg show, when *oof* where did that parking meter come from? [img]tongue.gif[/img] [*]Drag racing when right in front of a marked cruiser in traffic. (you'd think the cherries would give it away :D )[*]Pouring out some water that was in a can that previously held gasoline, and swearing it would burn. Then proving said assertion by lighting it....in a ditch next to my dads car.[*]Trying to put out the above fire with more water. :eek: [*]Telling my then-4-year-old brother that pennies were edible. :( [*]When a cop pulled in behind me at work, asking "What? Did I take the last double chocolate donut?" :D [/list] |
Nothing really stupid I've done springs to mind right now, but certainly the stupidest thing my brother ever tried to do was light a gas ring on the cooker with his lighter. The flame leapt out and practically took off his eyebrows. I thought I'd die laughing.

<font color=plum>I once used Ben-Gay (similar to Tiger Balm) for a pulled groin muscle. :eek: [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img]
[img]graemlins/alarm.gif[/img] <font color="yellow">DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS UNDER <font color="red">ANY</font> CIRCUMSTANCES!!!</font> [img]graemlins/alarm.gif[/img] Suffice to say that I was greatly relieved when the effect finally wore off. I also hopped off the hood of a friends car in the school parking lot my senior year. Unfortunately, he was traveling at about 15mph at the time. It didn't seem very fast - until I met the pavement and gravel. I ended up with a few stitches, serious Road Rash, and some permanent scarring.</font> [ 01-24-2003, 12:57 AM: Message edited by: Cerek the Barbaric ] |
<font color='white'>I guess the dumbest thing I have ever done was seeing how fast our 4 wheeler could go. I am just glad I still have my finger...Man that could have been ALOT worse. </font>

Hitting a guy over the head in 6th grade who was in 11th, using Ninjitsu in the locker room after someone pissed me off too much (6th grade again)
Both got me sent to the brig T_T such harshe treatment and I wasn't even in high-school, but our principal was set in her ways, 24 hours of solitary confinment behind bars for any punnisment was the ONLY punnishment she knew to deliver. Um after that I was scared to ever disobey rules again... Though once on the PSO-WORLD message board I reported one of the moderators girl freinds for posting naughty pictures and got banned >_> That's what you get for being a *tattle tale* they said to me... *sigh* |
whew...you guys might wanna pull up a chair, this could take a while.
When I was 9 I asked my mum's best friend what 'beating your meat' was :rolleyes: You just can't beat learning sexual references from your older brother, can ya? When I was 12 I accused the son of the Head Teacher of...*cough* using a vacume cleaner in a certain way. Can you say detention class? When I was 13 I got extremely angry with an older brother who ahd already spent five years at the local dojo and smacked him around the head with a cricket bat. Oh well, beatings make the world go round. At age 15 I stole a lump of magnesium from a science lab at school and set it alight outside my teacher's house. Lucky that magnesium only produces extreme light. :rolleyes: Again at 15 I placed several of those small, really bouncy balls under the tires of a car and watched them all fly when the car went over them. When I was 16 I made a point of not letting my parent's know about the metal BB gun I ahd placed in the suitcase on a holiday. God Bless British customs officials, I was not found out. When I was 17 I told a girl she could "Only come back to mine if you bring your mate Racheal". Not the best pulling technique. At 18 (ah, the college years) I met a guy in a class and the next day decided to joint-purchase a flat with him. I could've had a seriel killer sleeping in the next room and I wouldn't ahve known it. Unfortunately it was worse. He was a Millwall supporter :rolleyes: At 19 (and the most recent to date, as far as I can remember) I decided to lunge for a mugger's knife and recieved quite a big slash on my arm as a result. The scar looks cool though, and the sympathy I recieved from friends and family was not bad :D |
I am known for being rather absent-minded. Once when I was a large kid (around 11 or so) I was eating a banana in the back of the car. Suddenly I woke up from my trance and exclaimed: "Hey, didya know, banana peels tastes really bad". I had by then eaten most of the banana peel without really paying notice. Worse yet, i had eaten the banana first and then the peel. My mom and sister were laughing their heads off.
(It should be said that I enjoy many fruits with pits, peels, stalks and everything, but I think i'm making an exception with the banana for now). [ 01-24-2003, 04:54 PM: Message edited by: Indemaijinj ] |
Can't complete with Lavin or Horatio....I think the stupidest I've done is tried to make pasta without the water. I put the pasta in the pot, turned on the stove, got distracted by the TV sat down and started watching and didn't realize I didn't put water in the pot until the sweet stench of burning pasta and fumes and some flames could be seem from the kitchen.
My next mistake...also in the kitchen was when I had a couple roommates, so I won't take all the credit for it. One guy (Jim) left some oil in a pan on the stove wanting to start cooking but needed to step out for something. He left the lid of the pan on the tabletop...it was kind of in my way (studying in the kitchen) so I put it back over the pan. Another guy comes along, starts cooking, not paying attention and max's out the coil with the covered pan of oil as well as the one he was using. Jim comes back, takes the lid off the pan and we had an instant Flambe. |
The most idiotic (and deadly, too) was with my best friend.
We where on our bikes, and we each had a stick, and where trying to catch each other to put our stick in the other's wheel, while going quite fast. Luckily, we weren't able to do it. |
Dumbest things I did lets see
- I made myself pass out in the sauna fell down and cut my leg open on the rail - Climbed a tall tree cut the limb I was standing on off - Rode my bike into a lake - Poured gas on a pile of wood and tryed lighting it with a match I was to close and caought my arm on fire - Lit a roman candle in my room - Drank I think it was bleach becouse I thought it was apple juice - My friend let me light his arm on fire while he skied down a hill Yaa thats what comes to the top of my head [ 01-24-2003, 06:42 PM: Message edited by: lucius ] |
<font color="cyan">I've just thought of three more:
Tried drinking more than 7 pints of milk in a row. It is physically impossible, no1 has ever done it. Your body cannot take it. I ended up spewing white stuff for near on an hour. Put a Meat N Tatty Pie in the microwave for 14mins rather than 50 seconds. Boom! Made a super shotty bong against the advice of the resident college expert. Whitied instantly, was throwing up with serious nerve pains for around 6 hours. Btw, this was in the street in the rain. Couldnt move. :( Never again! (For information - A super shotty bong is what an extremely drunk brad made up one night, as he thought it would be cool. He overloaded it far too much. He then virtually died [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font> [ 01-24-2003, 07:32 PM: Message edited by: Lavindathar ] |

LOL the number of minor stupid things I've done is impossible to count. Luckily I haven't done anything too stupid cos I'm so intelligent see? :D
Can't remember what age these happened at but all between 10 and 16. Actually the things my friend's have done are sometimes funnier. - At school I once was cutting a plastic bottle with a stanley knife. Was talking to someone didn't look, and sliced my thumb open. Still have the scar. Nice :D - In chemistry class lit half a bottle of cyclohexene instead of a few drops and it burned with quite high (about 1/2 metre) flame so it was hard to hide from the teacher :( - Once was launching mini rockets from my hand. One time after I lit it, it got stuck in the launcher. I was like "uh-oh" so I was gonna throw it away but then I saw a lady with a baby coming and I thought I'd better not throw it in case it hit them. Anyway so I just held it and it blew up in my hand. Sore hand :D - Was playing catch with a tennis ball with my mate Bob. I threw it too far and it went onto a neighbour's garage roof. Bob climbed on the roof but part of it collapsed under him LOL. The owner found out and made us and our parents pay :( - Once was climbing a tree in a private car park at the back of a pub. One of my mates shouted that the owner was coming so I quickly jumped out of the tree but I didn't see what was below and landed on the bonnet of a car denting it and setting the alarm off. Then we ran. :D - Another time I climbed on to the same pub's roof with Bob and we took a whole bunch of these wild apples up there and were throwing them at the pub customers in the pub garden :D Needless to say the owner found out and we had to get down and nearly got chased by some men from the pub, luckily they saw that we were little kids and contented themselves with swearing at us hehe. - When I was around 13, me and a mate Bob were climbing on the roof of our local school and then Bob thought he heard someone coming so he shouts: "quick jump!" I of course lowered myself slowly to arm's length and then dropped onto some bins. Bob however just leapt off the roof, the fool. :D The roof was around 10ft and so he broke his ankle as he landed LOL well ok it wasn't funny at the time. I had to give him a piggy back home. :D - Once was playing football at Bob's house and we were not too cleverly using the wall of the house as a goal. So I of course blasted it through one of his windows :( His dad was not too pleased. - One of my other friends, Paul decided to climb on the school roof with us. This was his first time and it was quite hard to get onto the 10ft roof for us just holding onto the window sill. Anyway he fell half way and broke both his arms LOL! Ok so that wasn't funny at the time either. Of course me and Bob had already been banned from climbing on the roof after he broke his ankle so we made up a story about how Paul's arms were broken. They were in plaster for 4 weeks. - This isn't about me but one of my friends Nick was so angry with his mum once that he punched a wall and he broke a bone in his hand and had to have it in plaster for 5 weeks LOL. - Other than that the funniest things were when I lit a banger and threw it near a cat in a doorway. Just then a woman came out the door. As the banger went off the cat schrieked and jumped in front of the woman who also screamed. Needless to say I rode off on my bike very quickly but that was pretty funny at the time :D - My friend Amin also once attached a chinese cracker (after they were made illegal in UK!) to a neighbour's wooden gate. Needless to say after 30 seconds of machine gun fire sound we had a smokin' gate and a couple of neighbours out with crying babies. LMAO! ahhh the memories :D I could go on but I'm sure you're all bored.... [ 01-24-2003, 08:22 PM: Message edited by: Vaskez ] |
Sounds like you like to climb stuff Vaskez. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Tried to hurdle a bin, long ways. Ouch, fell on it middle...
Attempted to boogie board (or whatever the sand board thing is) lost the skin on my knee, brilliant sstart to a holiday Fell off pavement and twisted foot, damaged tendons. Decided that it was safe to swing on skipping ropes hurled up a tree, over a pile of bricks. Excellent start to another holiday. |
oh...I remember one...Was 16ish?? Jumped from a moving car doing about 40. Lucky to still be alive.

I'll only hit the highlights of things that are past the statute of limitations.
1)making hydrogen baloons with attached fuse so they would blow up. quick fuse resulted in no eyebrows 2)making home-made dynamite and blowing up part of the street 3)shooting a skyrocket at some friends and hit a passing police car and the winner is being caught after curfew with my girlfriend (both of us in a state of undress) by the police http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/sulkoff.gif [img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] |

Only thing that comes to mind, is a time when me and a friend went out to see if we could get a petrol bomb to work for once. We lit it and ran behind a small hill, Waited and made jokes for a few minutes, Then we thought we had failed again, so we went back to try it agian and we were no more that 20 metres from it when it somehow tipped over and...BOOM. We are lucky to still be alive. we told our parents that some kids were trowing rocks at us and the rocks cut us badly. and we got lucky, and we got away with it. but we didnt try it again. But when we got home we had a bit of stupididty left in us and decided to use the rest of the petrol lighting stuff up, including us...
But we dont do that anymore, My friend found out that its not hte right thing to do the hard way... |
<font color="cyan">Someone just reminded me of something.
Me and a mate sat on a huge wheeliebin at leeds festival, and rode it down a 200ft hill. lol, we fell off half way down, and we fell to the bottom at about 30mph? My mate broke his arm and his collorbone, I came out with a sore ass. Oh, and the wheeliebin? It cartwheeled through a few peoples tents, and then came to rest in a ditch. Lol.</font> |
about 5 years ago, i was slicing through a twig with a little blade, and didn't notice my finger on the other side.... dripping blood has a certain novelty value at first...
erm, about 7 years making a ~1.5m leap for a flying foxy thing and not quite making it, then falling on my arm and almost breaking it... me and my friend were shooting rocks at crows with slingshots.... i got a massive rock and hit a crow square on... i was most surprised.... the crow went upside down in the tree with its wings spread out... we thought it was dead so my friends climbed up to get it down, it was still living fortunately and flew off [img]smile.gif[/img] haven't used rocks that big since.... |
Ahh my life has been so normal compared to yours.
Just a few things comes to mind: * Throwing little kittens to a big water can when I was little. They all survived, somehow. * Getting caught on action... *censorship here* * Changing clothes on supermarket once without realizing that the door was open. But ahh, time erases so many memories.. |
