One of the silliest things I ever did was make a 'potion' in the bathroom with anything I could get my hands on. I remember that the 'star ingredient' was "Tincture of Iodine"... Eventually, I had this dark, weird chemical concoction, but had one last ingredient to add - some Glade aerosol air-freshener! So, I sprayed the aerosol straight into the chemical brew. Unfortunately, it was right next to my Mum's newly redecorated bathroom wall, and the potion (predictably) sprayed all over the place :ill: The potion immediately stained the new wallpaper black, and I panicked. I tried to wipe it off but only succeeded in tearing the wallpaper :ouch: I had no choice but to tell my Mum what happened, and she started crying when she saw the mess :guilty: She told me that my pocket-money would be docked to pay for the replacement paper, but miraculously, the staining faded and then vanished completely within about 10 minutes. The only sign that it ever happened was the slightly repatched piece of wallpaper that I had ripped when trying to clean it up! I didn't learn my lesson, however - I went on to do a degree in Chemistry :nervous:
 
I've done so much dumb stuff I can't pick one.

First one off the top of my head, I nearly drowned chasing a swan.
 
Recently I did a very stupid one, which was when I was dropping a friend home one evening. I was pulling up in-front of her house, and wanted to scare her by slowing down then jumping hard on the brakes at the last minute.

Too bad I didn’t notice she’d taken off her seatbelt and I had to reach over and hold her back to stop her flying through the front windshield. :ouch: Not impressed.

I do this on a regular basis, purposely. One of my pet hates is people taking their seat belt off before I stop so I like to make sure they know why it isn't a good idea.

As far as dumb things I have done, I think it's best I say nothing. Jack doesn't need any new reasons to make fun of me.
 
Dumbest thing I ever did was post an actual answer to a thread like this on another forum.

My dumbest thing was probably this:

$6000 later she's sort of back to normal :(

No. The dumbest thing was putting superslicks on the front, and leaving the retreads on the back. Then going racing with it :dunce:
 
I stapled my own thumb once in 5th grade... just spacing out fiddling with stapler. Didn't realize what I had done till I looked at my thumb and saw a staple all the way in it.

Felt kinda funny...
 
When I was 16 on a school football trip to Italy, I carried half an ounce of weed for all the potheads since they were too scared to carry their own. I didn't smoke so I didn't mind as the teachers wouldn't believe it.

When we got to the airport, I saw a bunch of guys with submachine guns and a dog.

And in the dumbest moment of my life: I went to stroke the German Shepherd.

Strip-searched, expelled and almost convicted.

Also, I didn't rat anyone out, even though the teachers /knew/ it wasn't mine.
 
Can't point out just one of the dumbest things I have ever done, but I can assure you the past 3 years will fill up a bible on doing dumb things. . .

Seriously, I think you just won. I've learned not to carry anything remotely troublesome when travelling by plane now... cause its something along these lines "OMG, TEH DEODORANT STICK COULD BE A BOMB!!!"

How about giving birth to Jack? I think that takes the cake. Possibly even worse than the German Shepherd guy..

Just kidding. :P

Apparantly they confiscated my girlfriend's toothpaste once.

Oh my god.. it could.. be.. a bomb?

I think, out of the (around about) 13 times I've split my head open.. the dumbest was possibly trying to slam dunk over the top of the shower screen, on wet tiles, when I was young, and actually embedding a bathroom tile into the middle of my skull..

It was touching the bone, so the doctor had to use some yellow cream to soften the scalp and push it out a bit. In which case, I had to walk around for a couple of weeks with a yellow scalp and a piece of tile in my head.

I then turned to football.

As a little kid i did that a couple times. Whatever i could find under the bathroom counter, i'd put into a cup for no reason. I finally stopped when my parents said that i could kill myself, lol.

The most recent stupid thing i did was when i was riding my favorite close to mint classic road bike. I was fooling around doing the usual fast sharp turns, when i had to come to a stop because of some stupid car. I got to a pretty low speed and went to take a 90 degree angle turn, but turned the handle bars a little to quick. Over the handle bars I went, but i was more concerned with my bike. I was pissed but it was nothing much, just had to align the front fork and move the brake around a little bit. The only thing that really sucked was the painful sprained wrist i had for 3 days.

Ive done way too many stupid things (A good amount involving bicycles) but i'll list one more.

back were i used to live, I was hanging out with a group of people and we were just doing the usually messing around. One of the kids brought his brand new mountain bike and was doing tricks (endos, wheelies, etc...) so I asked him if i could borrow it. I get going and i decided I wanted to try and endo. Having no idea what to do, I was at a good speed in 6th gear and hit the front brake. Over the handle bars I go and wham onto the pavement. Again I was more concerned with the bicycle while every body else gathers around "OMG are you alright". I get up, and the kid almost starts a fight with me because the gauge that showed what gear you were in had gotten scratched so that you couldn't see. (Be aware that this kid was tough as nails and could fight like a champion) Scared as hell, I walked off and came back after he left. This was the first time i sprained my wrist, but it hurt so badly we went to the doctors to get x-rays. Nothing wrong of course, just was asked to wear an arm brace for a good week.

EDIT: I hate airplane's too. When i had first gotten my ipod, i didn't know how to turn it off. We get on the plane and the flight attendant asks me to turn my ipod off. Not knowing i said "You have to wait until it shuts it self off" and she kept saying "turn it off". So every time she said that, id raise my voice a little bit and say the same thing as she was getting pissy with me. She finally stormed off and another, nicer, flight attendant came by and showed me how to turn it off.
 
There is this one dumb thing i keep on doing. In my living-room i have to walk past my table but..... as i walk past i always seem to hit my little toe on the table leg (its a big table leg) and all i will say for a good 2 mins is.... "Ahhhh!.... *****"! C****! S***! ****ing Heck!!" and so on...... :ouch:
 
Some of these responses are pathetic. "I hit my little toe" ?!

Lets talk about getting mom's new Dodge (Less than 7K miles) , 3/4 through a barrel roll before landing it. Lets talk about Deciding to join the Army, "Cuz Dad did it". Lets talk about experimenting with Cocaine and ending up in the the ER.

Some of you just haven't lived life to any degree.

I zipped up my little fella yesterday, that was pretty dumb. :(

I think this is definetly in the top ten of dumbest things.

@DA, maybe people have just lived to a smarter degree than some.
 
Hmmm.......I crashed into a parked truck while riding my bike. Curbed one of my month old rims. Stood to close to my brother while he was swinging a golf club. That one landed me a trip to the ER to get the inch long hole in my upper lip stitched. Oh ya and a real good one where I pissed my dad off and slammed my door shut which he proceed to break down and chew me out some more.

The dumbest though is the golf club incident.
 
Two dumbest things.

Getting severe frostbite, and not having use of my finger for a week, after accepting my friends 'I bet I can stick my finger in this dry ice longer than you' challenge.

I countered that when I was drunk, when I stuck my hand in one of the ceramic wood fire things, it got burnt and I said 'I didn't think it'd be hot!'

Got busted doing 193 km/h in an 80km/h zone...lost my licence for 3 months. Dumbest by far. ( and yet most fun too )
Click to expand...
You only lost it for 3 months after going 113km/h over the speed limit? Here that'd be at least 12 months gone. I lost mine for 3 months for "just" doing 42 km/h over the speed limit..

I suppose not strapping my ankle for football and tearing the ligaments for the second time in a row would be pretty dumb..

Crutches suck.
 
One time i got into my car but i wasn't paying attention as i opened the door. I was standing in-front of the door (dumb i know) and it.... Whack! in the chest. Didn't actually hurt that much appart from the slight bruise on the chest from the speed i pulled the door open. Note to self: Do not stand in-front of car door so often.

About 5 years ago i got knocked down by a white Ford Escort Estate (wagon). The dumbest thing was trying to identify the car instead of attempting to get up off the road and get away from the car that hit me, incase it rolled down-hill (it was a hill). Luckily it didnt roll down the hill. Summary: If you are ever hit by a car.... dont try and identify it instead of getting up.
