Dumbest thing you've done?

I got a Heart Shape brand in my butt that I got in a one drunken afternoon. But I don't regret it and instead I put meaning on it. Now I treat it as a reminder that I'm now using my last and only life and I should spend it well.

@bush_dog: Are you still drunk?

Buying an Xbox One console was the dumbest thing I did for this gen. I'm done with MS consoles.

Gave someone a very strong opiate I’d been Rx’d for severe chronic pain. He handled it very badly. I could’ve gone to prison had he croaked.

Purchased a stand mixer. Not worth the money or the space it takes in storage. Only the additional gadgets are useful (food processor, blender etc).

A hand mixer is the way to go.

Got married. Thankfully the divorce is nearly done. Maybe not the 'dumbest' but certainly my biggest regret.

Tried to flip an unsanitized butchers knife.

letting myself become obese. Probably from too many baked goods from the stand mixer :'(

You mean like a kitchenaid mixer? Dude those things are priceless, lovely kitchen gadgets.

Though if you regret it, it sounds like you don't really enjoy cooking, and if you don't enjoy cooking I don't see why you would buy one in the first place.

They are expensive, but a good stand mixer is something any half-decent cook eventually ends up owning.

Framed up a garage ceiling not to code. lol

Doing 70 mph up at the mountains of southeastern Oregon in the dead of winter where the likelihood of black ice is certain.

Snowtubing over a ramp... my buddies and I were all tubing down this big hill and hitting a small bump we made at the bottom... when I went down the hill I couldn't control the tube and spun around backward, I hit the ramp backwards and faceplanted on what was not soft snow at all... it felt like my face hit pure ice. And I smashed my nose pretty good.

lol, is he praising the "dumbest thing" he's ever done?

I don't think I have ever gone online while drunk. I wonder why nobody ever goes online while they are drunk? Maybe due to lack of being able to read.

Probably for the best, I can't imagine the amount of virtual damage one could do to oneself.

Well actually I have no choice, I can't remove it, so instead of having regrets I just put some "deep" meaning on it. lol

Answer the question

When I created this thread 'No'.

Currently, also 'No'.

Staying in Sweden

Or ecstasy

mhm

fell down stairs yesterday because I didn't want to turn on a light. RIP my foot.

I'm a big fan of doing dumb/dangerous things. Some involving substance abuse probably wouldn't be appropriate to post here. Some that are (mostly Jackass-inspired stuff from my childhood/early teenage years):

-when I was a kid, I tried "bungee jumping" out of a tree house by tying a skipping rope around my leg and jumping out head-first. The rope rode up my leg and I was brutally sacked, and stuck hanging upside-down until my friend ran to get help from his parents.

-me and a different friend invented a sport called "ski-jousting" which involved skiing down crowded runs at high speeds hitting each other with ski-polls as hard as we could. There were no winners.

-myself and the same friend pulled a trampoline up to the house, then climbed onto the second-story roof of the house through a window and jumped onto the trampoline. We did this several times until my friend had a bad landing and flew off to the side and landed on the ground, somehow without getting seriously injured.

Nowadays I climb mountains and go backcountry skiing which while dangerous I wouldn't consider dumb since we take the necessary safety precautions.

Did the same exact thing.

Used to do repelling down an old shut down school, that was kind of stupid given its condition.

Used to love waiting for the roads to get iced over, get up to 45 or 50 and hit that emergency break.

Went over 100 on a dirt road one time, of course i hit a rock the wrong way and went skidding out of control. Luckily no one was hurt and the car started right back up after slamming into a dirt mound.

There was some super old scaffolding four floors up at another old, abandoned building that we used to walk on to get to the other side. Looking back on it that was a horrible idea given the wood was like... 1 inch thick and like 30 years old.

Good times, at times im shocked that i made it passed my teens.

Too much stuff to list everything. Every day I wake up thankful I'm not dead or in prison for all the stupid stuff I did when I was young. I could write a book on the stuff I've seen.

I took my stepdads Jaguar one night and wanted to see how fast it would go so I opened it up on the freeway. I did 150mph for 7 minutes.

Another occasion I ran a red light and got t-boned by some girl going 50 mph. She wasn't wearing a seatbelt and she broke the windshield with her face. My car was practically ripped in half. I was driving on a suspended license. I thought it was more important to buy drugs then pay my tickets. The judge gave me an ultimatum pay a $800 fine or 30 days in jail.

I've ran from the cops on several occasions. One time I had enough drugs on me to go to prison for 40 years but I escaped. Another time I ran but I got caught. The entire cities police force was looking for me helicopter and all. They had me on the run for an hour. I almost got away.

I had a habit of taking too many drugs at once. I ODed on two occasions the second time I ended up with brain damage. That was the end of my addiction lifestyle. It took me 5 years to recover. I spent a month in the hospital. At first I couldn't even tie my own shoes.

After that I cleaned my act up.

haha yea sounds like we had/have the same stupidity gene.

The funny thing is I did get injured quite a bit growing up, but never doing stupid stuff. It was always weird accidents when I was just going about my daily business.

I still really enjoy driving around during snow-storms.

Once at the movies, the ticket person said "enjoy your movie" I said "you too".

Sounds like we have the same addiction gene as well. Then again, maybe it comes from constantly seeking so much stimuli and being adrenaline junkies at a young age.

Oh i got injured all the time, it just never phased me. My father was never really abusive or neglectful or anything, but in this era parents still taught their kids to "walk it off" as a form of medicine. So as long as i had some duct tape near me and nothing that required emergency surgery........... lets go. Hell, I can even remember times where i preformed my own surgeries. Specifically one time i remember skating and i fell down this hill and when i did i got a piece of a branch lodged in my leg about two inches. I pulled it out but part of it broke off inside my leg, so i had to use my buddies needle noses to pull the rest out and then luckily he also had some super glue. Didnt skate again that day, but i did walk it off. And luckily skaters always came prepared to fix boards (and people).

Actually a few months later we were skating on that same ledge/hill and about a mile down from where i had my accident, theres sewage. And a buddy of mine who is.... was? Is? Im not sure if he kept it up.... a professional inline skater and he hit a rock that he couldnt recover from, fell down all these rocks, cut himself up very badly and then fell into the sewage. He was in the hospital with massive infections for almost two months.

The first accident i remember having, im not even sure of my age but it was before kindergarten and i only remember that because we hadn't moved yet. But myself and a few local kids decided to build ramps for our bikes but we did this by putting wood against a privacy fence. So we were like 5 maybe 6, riding our bikes up a six foot incline and jumping off. Of course this lasted like two minutes before we didnt really jump but fell and got injured, and people started freaking out and then parents came, but whatever, its all good.

I live in FL now so thats not happening anytime soon. I do tend to laugh at hurricanes though.

@mrbojangles25: I do love cooking actually. A lot.

Its just what someone finds practical. Some prefer having a machine do the work. But I find it complicates things a lot, more than it simplifies them (especially handling while adding ingredients, cleaning up etc). My own mistake was buying one with a metal mixing bowl. It makes meringue whipping easier but it makes it almost impossible to cream butter because of the cold surface.

Its only necessary in certain things such as whipping meringue or cream without too much splashing (a hand mixer splashes a lot), or recipes where you have to "bloom" the batter with boiling water for better consistency especially for layer cakes.

When I worked as a bouncer a couple of my other bouncer buddies would get together in parks at night and spar bare knuckles. It was fun at the time, but I look back and think to myself "WTF was I thinking? It's not like gloves are expensive." I got a chipped molar from a spinning backfist.

-Byshop

Did a bunch of mushrooms up in the mountains on a camping trip. Hike in 3 hours, no cell phone service, etc.

Found myself really antsy and needed to do something rather than sit around in the middle of the night, so I fired up my chinsaw and cut firewood for hours, wearing a T shirt, shorts, and sandals.

Another time, a buddy and I crossed a low river to go fishing, and we polished off a 26 of rum. On the way back, the river was suddenly a raging torrent. Unbeknownst to us, this river has a kayaking course further upstream that they close the dam to adjust obstacles. We crossed when it was dammed and didn’t know it. There were a few bighorn sheep on the other side that looked like they wanted to cross, but decided better of it. They were smarter than us.

The only reason I didn’t drown when I got swept right off of my feet was the empty beer cooler I was holding in one hand that I was able to use as a flotation device while swimming across.

Drunk driving and almost killed 3 people.

I got a great idea - while drunk.

I wanted to jump over my mate, as tall as he was. It was during the NBA All-Star weekend and yeah... you get the picture.

I to a few steps back, sprinted towards him and as I went up, he ducked. As I had counted on pushing off of him, I was suddenly doing and awkward Superman pose through the air. Both hands took the fall. As well as my face. I sprained both wrists badly, broke my glasse and got a nasty cut over my eyebrow and busted my iPhone.

If you think that's awkward, try imagine wiping your arse without functional wrists... xD

I think we really need to stop drinking booze.

Message here!!!!!!!!

I tried to talk to a girl I've never met

Actually that's pretty cool and brave.

Stare at the ceiling looking at a black dot without my glasses and fretting about it being a moth

I had a hang over from Ecstasy and didn't get much sleep at all the next day I had to go to work and a customer asked for something I thought it was milk so I handed him a carton of milk then he said no he was asking if his friend was working that night or something to that effect lol. I don't do hard drugs anymore but man I did some dumb shit back in the day.

I raced a cop.... He was in an unmarked cop car and I thought it was just some random asshole on the road trying to go faster than me, so I went faster than him. I didn't see he had lights in his car until it was too late. I noticed them, and just as I started to slow down, they came on, he slammed on his brakes to get behind me and pulled me over. Boy, was he pissed! I thought I was going to jail that day, but because I JUST exited his jurisdiction, he let me go. This was like when I was 18 on my first car. Oh, the immaturity of a teenager in his first car....

Have unprotected sex with a married woman. I mean the unprotected sex alone is always stupid but with a married woman who's husband and kids could've come home is utter stupid. But dat azz though.....of course I did a lot of stupid things in regards with women when I was young. I also once had sex with my g/f's best friend on the same bed that my g/f was currently sleeping on....god, if she would have woken up, she would have murdered us both cause she was crazy like that...yeah that was very stupid...

Cops aren't allowed to break the speed limit either unless it's an emergency. They are enforcers of the law, not above the law. Theres a video of a guy pulling a cop over, chewing him out for speeding and the cop apologized.

Drinking far too much when I was a kid causing me to have mental disorders as an adult. Paying for it for the rest of my life. ?

No offense but that was really funny.
