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! :laughing:

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!

I joined MusicBanter.

How are you still alive?
No you didn't. This is the Matrix; you just think you did. In fact, you don't even exist. Neither do I. Or anyone else. Unless you're a robot. Are you a robot? Then you don't exist.

Also geniuses and will continue to invent, discover, build, pioneer and risk our lives to save others.

Probably meth.

Really?

I've probably done more stupid things but that's what comes to mind.

I sold stolen pills on a public school campus. I guess that trumps it.

What other drugs have you done? Crack? Heroin?

That's up there for me, too. Did you do enough to where your dick shrank up and all that? I was grinding my teeth and rocking back and forth for 48 ****ing hours. How do people get addicted to that ****?

I've smoked heroin before ja. I did a lot of exploring in high school.

I don't know I do a lot of stupid ****. I one time in high school was stabbing the **** out of a binder with my pencil and the substitute teacher told me to sit down and I did saying, "oh, you stander hater" and the whole class room erupted in laughter and I didn't get it because it was just a stupid joke. Half way to my next class I realized it's because he was in a wheel chair.

Goddamn. Can you imagine how miserable subbing high school in a wheelchair would be?

Huh. Speak for yourself.

The dick thing has occurred with a lot of drugs, I think it's a stress thing. But ja too much dirty energy with that **** where your'e wanting to get back to normal but it takes a week to get really normal. I know how people get hooked: hook ups. I've seen so many dumb kids go on about this big bag of free meth that they got who go on staying up for weeks on the ****. I wish it wasn't so popular down here.

Nearly lost £100 matched betting because I put a stake on the wrong market (half time instead of full time). A goal in injury time turned that loss into a £40 profit.

It was this match - Chelsea 3-2 Shakhtar Donetsk - BBC Sport

I went out for a walk and some beer at half time once I realised I messed up. I needed to clear my head. Betting is stressful. When I came back in I saw the score and I thought I had only lost £5, I was relieved and went to bed. It wasn't until the next day when I checked thoroughly I realised I had made a profit of £40.

A great story I know.

Yeah, that dude was a complete ******* though so I don't feel too bad. I remember getting a college student sub who flirted with girls in my french class.

- Getting into a vehicle with 4 teenagers ripped on mushrooms (including the driver) when I was 15 years old. We made it 2 blocks before getting pulled over. Miraculously, the cop didn't notice that we were all high, even after shining his flashlight directly into our eyes, told all of us to get out and walk home (driver didn't have his full license, limits you to 1 passenger) and told the driver to drive home carefully. Oh Canada.

- Explored an unstable 115 year old abandoned gold mine alone a year or so ago, far out of cellular range, no GPS inside a mountain. Bent my truck frame on my way up the mountain. Reviewed another explorer's footage of the mine a week later and noticed that a huge section of the mine had collapsed between his visit and mine, a 6 month window.

- Have gotten away with two B&Es, though both buildings were unlocked. One was accidental, thought it was abandoned, turns out it was occupied by what sounded like a dying old man (house was trashed on the inside, doors missing from every room, tarps hung in their place), didn't stick around long enough to be seen, the other was too interesting to walk away and is one of my greatest stories, no regret there.

- Rode my dirt bike 30 or 40 km at highway speed with a loose axle nut and no cotter pin (high risk of rear wheel falling off).

Knowingly?

No that was accidental, didn't realize until I was at my destination (no cellular coverage or services nearby). Had no spare cotter pins with me, ended up jamming an Allen key in there and bending it over with a rock.

-Doing datura with some fresh-out-of-prison heroin addict whom I've just met

-Driving in a car with a crazy and extremely drunk guy on an iced-over road at night, at some point deciding to see what happens if he stopped braking at turns. Luckily we just drove into some empty field.

-Various instances of climbing on buildings and scaffoldings while completely ****faced.

-Trying to buy cocaine in some ****ed-up hood in Barcelona from some shifty-ass Maroccans who ultimately stiffed us.

-Lots of stealing and vandalism

Any decent stories? Ever get caught/arrested/convicted?

Nothing particularly entertaining. Just stupid, antisocial ****.
Never got caught either, although there were some close ones.

Just remembered how we stole some audio equipment from our school, but then there was a chance that some people have noticed us with it in the bus, so we brought it back early next morning and stole it again a month later.

When we were young, me and my brother ran through these patches of very tall dry grass of some sort at a beach. They were the height of a person, so we jumped through them, ran to the next one, jumped through, etc. Then suddenly, my brother stopped running, but I jumped through the next one anyway. I landed in a small stream of water on the other side, my head right next to a big rock. Pretty dumb and pretty lucky.

Also, a long time ago in France, I ran down a hill very fast and all of a sudden I realized the hill stopped and turned into a straight drop. I fell almost 2 meters straight down and landed on my knees on a gravel path. Ouch.

EDIT: I forgot one more. Some years ago, on a yearly family weekend, we were some uncles, aunts and cousins playing this game outside in the dark at night. Basically, someone is "it" and has to find everyone else in the dark. There's a spot where if you run up to it and shout "I'm free" before you're spotted, you avoid being "it" in the next round. The one who was looking for where we were hiding was walking away from where I was hiding, so I dashed fast across the lawn about 15 meters, not remembering that there was a tiled fireplace in the middle of the lawn. I couldn't see anything as the lawn was just pitch black. I landed on concrete tiles with my knees, having run at full speed. I don't know why I keep demolishing my knees.
If that sounds like an unresponsibly dangerous game, it should be said that you're supposed to do it in daylight, but we used to do it at night because drunk uncles, stupid ideas, etc.

lol.

A lot of the stuff you've posted sounds like stuff I used to do.

- stole an El Camino that had (unkowning to me at the time) a few thousand dollars worth of tools in the back, and somehow got away with it.

- another B&E story. Broke into a place that did custom woodworking for kitchen remodels. Only stole a boom-box and ended up getting a summer job there after the cops made me apologize to the owner.

- bought a 10 pound bag of ice that had the cubes all fused together, and then figured cracking the bag over my head was the best way to separate them.

- got into the passenger seat of a van with a falling down drunk driver. Kissed a tree less than 5 minutes later. My dad was headed to the hospital to bust my ass for being so stupid, but he got to see the wrecked van at the junkyard on the way and ended up just hugging me - thankful that I was alive.

All before the age of 17. That was 40 years ago. I've got a ton more if anyone is interested. :D

-Credit card scams, got arrested for it.

-Um what else, I had a stolen gun with no licensing to carry a fire arm. Then preceded to shoot that gun within city limits.

-I've been in someone's home without their knowledge, while they were out of state for a month or two.

-I stole from someone who knew where I lived (Luckily they didn't hold a grudge.).

-Hmm... I was messing around with a serious gang bangers girlfriend on multiple occasions (Some crazy Spanish guy, she was hot though so it was worth it.).

-I drive without a license on a daily basis, I'm still on unsupervised probation.

-Shoplifted over 10 grand of items from Marshalls.

-Oh yeah I did molly once, that was pretty dumb. But yeah.

Edit: Oh yeah I was in a car with a friend who sells crack, with that same stolen gun. These are just off the top of my head I can probably think of more. I just make music now and barely leave the house. For a smart person, I tend to do a lot of stupid ****.

Holy **** all you crazy people have done so much ****. I've always been such a nice guy. I'd never steal from anyone. Not even as a teenager. Not saying I'm not a loser. Just a nice loser with a sense of justice :laughing:

Lmao yeah I'm not exactly proud of the stuff I've done. They're great stories though.

hmm

- Before I had my license I use to smoke salvia alone in the middle of a farmer's field at least a couple of times a week on my walk home from work. Salvia and I got along really well, probably did it about 15 times that summer, not one bad trip (wouldn't call them good either, but they were sure something).

- For a couple of summers my friends and I threw a lot of whippet (nitrous/laughing gas) parties. Sometimes going though a pack of 200 among maybe a dozen of us in a single night.

Just smoke a bowl on the comedown and it's not so bad.

First, I read that as "I smoked saliva"! Second, when you mentioned "threw a lot of whippet" I thought this was going to be an animal cruelty story.
Is she hot? ;)
