The Most Stupid Thing(s) You've Ever Done?

We men are all boneheads, numbskulls, and we have done, do and probably will continue to do the stupidest, most moronic, logic-defying things throughout our lives. Some of them are probably so stupid that we're actually proud of them. So tell us all about the time(s) you left your brain at home and booked a room in Hotel Stupid.

I can remember standing near the cooker (hob) with one of those big jumpers on, the kind that are about a size too big for you. It was some moments before I realised that though I was out of range of the heat my jumper was not, and I was on fire!

I also once tried to lift an EIGHTY KILO drum off the back of a flatbed truck! Almost killed myself.

But the most stupid thing I ever done has to be this: Karen's bed is hydraulic, so it goes up and down as needed. I had tilted it fully up (with the headboard down as far as possible) to move her up the bed. On the way down, a wooden tray got caught by the bed and wedged tightly in. It then prevented the bed from moving up or down. I pondered the situation for some moments before coming to the bright conclusion that I could quickly kick the tray out and the bed would then slam down. It would, of course, and would have taken my foot off at the ankle!
