Sure... The old friend excuse.
In all seriousness, it reminds me of a friend I had in school though. To eat a nice, warm, slightly melted chocolate bar?
The dumbest thing you ever did?

I was racing a neighbor, a friend, on bikes, I went to close to her and she veered right, thus guiding her face into a mailbox, she was fine.
The mailbox however... Was off the post, we just left it there.

Well, dumbest things I've done huh?
When I was three I was at my nannys and got locked outside. Instead of being clever and ringing the doorbell or going to the window and knocking there I got my trike.. And put the front wheel up on the step and jumped up on top of it, and then physics and gravity took over, and I fell about 5 foot onto the step.. With my teeth.
Then when I was about 5 I thought it would be a good idea to try bit the lid of a can.. And split my lip open..
And at 8/9 I was riding a bicycle and it hadn't any rear brakes and someone jumped out in front of me and I pulled the front brakes and landed on the side of my face and grazed it along the concrete ground for about 3/4 feet..
At 11 I thought it was a amazing idea to jump off a roof of a shed (about 10 foot high) onto a pile of coal.. Multiple times.. Dunno how I survived that uninjured..
Then at 14 me and a few friends went into a field with a load of trees in it and climbed about 15foot up and decided to jump across on to younger, weaker trees.. They were grand but i ended snapping the top of the tree I grabbed and fell 15 foot straight onto my back.. After that one of my friends shouted at a man who was passing with a horse and made the horse go mad which resulted in us hiding in briers for 3 and a half hours until it was dark and we could sneak off..
I'm now 15 and not to much has happened since then..

My dumbest mistake was/is losing all my lego or taking apart sets when I was little. My parents used to spend a 🤬 load of money on lego for me, and the only thing I have left that's still assembled is a Nascar 
. If I could go back in time, I would stop myself from doing that.

I was sat in assembly when I was 7 years old playing with a sunflower seed....as you do.
I tried putting the seed in the ear of the person next to me, but she kept pushing me away.
But I was determined to put it in someone's ear. So I put it in mine.
4 hours later I was in A&E with a nurse trying to pull it out with a pair of tweezers. And I was squirming so much I had to have 3 people holding me down.
The moral of this story, don't put sunflower seeds in your ear.

When I was about 5/6 I was siting in my parents POS Mercedes while they were cleaning out the garage and playing with stuff in it. I started playing with the stick and ended up putting it in reverse and it hit the bricks which I think was wood at the time at the end of the driveway.

How did I miss this thread all this time?
Driving for 400 miles on LSD with a buddy of mine, stopping at points which included a cathedral, sugar cane field, a big lake, a community college that used to be a hotel, an abandoned school, and drove on a certain racetrack (which may or may not have been Sebring) which was very obviously not in use at the time...a nice fellow in a pickup told us gently to leave (I told him we were looking for the adjacent, uh...airport). We took a break to inhale nitrous oxide, just to take the edge off. And then we swam in the ocean, fully clothed. I took a picture at the beach, but it was completely out of focus...which was not intentional, since it was an autofocus camera. Just to make sure that we'd return safely back at our home planet, I drove the entire way, because that's what friends are for in case one might suffer from having a bad trip.
When I was 8, I stepped on a golf tee with my bare foot, and it punctured the bottom of my foot. I winced at the sight, tried to pull it out, realized it hurt like hell, then panicked...my foot dropped to the floor, to which the golf tee then ripped through the top of the same foot, Tom & Jerry-style. Pain pain pain pain pain...limped for a week.
Getting caught with a suspended license was my absolute nadir (it was suspended for nearly a year at the time). Going to jail sucks, and I personally hate people who use the word "jailbreak" because they want to use their phone in a way it wasn't intended...boo-frickin'-hoo, try the real thing for even a few hours, and you'll realize how good you've actually got it. It's miserable spending a night there, and thus having to come back for fifteen weekends to serve out the time is not much of a party (although, they put me with other people who were also screw-ups, not total reprobates nor societal scum).

When I was younger I learned how car cigarette lighters work... by burning my finger incredibly badly on the element. I'd always though the cigarettes were placed in the hole in the vehicle to be lit for some reason, and I was playing around with it one day and when it popped I took the piece out and saw the swirls on the element and though it looked like a cool thing to touch firmly. Wasn't even thinking... There was lots of pain, burnt flesh, and the smell of burnt flesh... haven't touched one since!

I hear you mate 👍
The stupidest thing I ever did was decide it would be a good idea to 'grow my own'. A few months later, four cop cars and a riot van turning up at my home in the little village I lived in at the time didn't go down too well.
Luckily I only got a caution and one night in a cell, but man, that single night has stayed with me. Think it's worth the risk? It really isn't. I'm a good boy these days

This was a while back. I would go really high in the swings and jump off. I jumped off towards a friend to joke around. Joke is on my I slammed into him breaking my arm and I got hundreds of splinters in my body since I landed in mulch. I'm an idiot.

Hmmmm, taking the back way into a housing estate which involved going through a field with 2 not-nice Alsatian dogs in it, through a garden with a bulldog in it, and through some thorns and barbed wire, a lot of pain and some inhumanity to dogs later, I got through.

It was late at night a number of years ago and I was quickly flipping through the channels on the tube and my tv at the time was well past it's "best before" date and the sound on it always took a while to zero in on the new channel as I flipped to it.Now I never watch The Simpsons but for some reason I stopped because Homer was saying something and I just had to know what he was saying so...I tried reading his lips!...Doh!

Mostly falling..
Falling in love, and...
Falling out of window.
One hurt's a lot more than the other.

I've 3 possible answers:
Sticking a finger into a stapler and pressing on it (6 years old
).
Closing the door of a year-old 1999 Hyundai Sonata....when my left thumb was still on the door frame.
(8 years old and the nail changed colour and dropped off a month or 2 later, revealing a fresh 2/3 grown nail underneath.
I wasn't saved by the supposedly shoddy Korean build quality.
)
Getting stuck in an automated revolving door.
(13 years old and had wondered what would happen if I continued walking round past the exit.)
