Dumbest mistakes you have ever made.

[Loren Littlejohn]

Inspired from the studio one. I though this one would be funnier and perhaps more interesting.

I'll go first (top this, ).

I ran a stop sign guy (road construction if you don't know what I'm talking about. 2 guys hold signs that say stop and go on them at both ends of the road construction). Incredibly dumb, and dangerous and I'm a complete shit head for doing it. I wasn't drunk, just stupid.

Me and my mate when we were about 12 used to enjoy starting fires (you can already see where this is going), and we knew the best place noone would see us making fires was in a barn (yes haha) so we started some faggoty small fires with tissues and then when we eventually got bored we stomped out the fires and such, an hour later... our mate from the village knocks on the door 'you pair of dumbasses, was it you that started that barn fire', I was in hysterics because I was an idiot and my other friend was almost in tears because he's perhaps a bit more realistic and logical, needless to say we only got a £50 fine from the court at the end of it, the farmer was just glad noone got hurt in his £40,000 barn...PHEW!!


top that ;D

snorting random white powder that i found on a table in a pub
smashing fluorescent tubes over each others heads before an exam and demolishing my hand
smashing my mates laptop screen and then jumping out of a first (2nd if you're american) floor window
challenging a massive guy to a boxing match. I went rainbow coloured
getting in a car at 7:30AM with a man who was massively high and drunk and hadn't slept, just been raving all night. Didn't die, guy in back had a seizure though, really messed up morning
having those extra 1 or 6 drinks faaaaaar too many times

Turning down the girl I really wanted to date. Fuck cowardice. FML

Awww dude.

I'm in that frame of mind right now. This girl on my FaceBook has some Hallowe'en pics up and she looks sooo fucking hot.

We were good friends for a long time (she was party of our groupy fan club back in the day) and I got really drunk one night and just asked her flat out... She was with someone at the time and she said "you had your chance", but in a nice way, kinda letting me down gently. I never knew I had a chance! After that, things went awkward and her boyfriend was always snooping around trying to keep us apart.

Such is life.

In regard to the thread... I've been a very heavy drinker for a long time which is the key formula I believe.

Perhaps a slightly more tame version of skeksis268! lol.

Highlights include trying to take on a bouncer who wouldn't let me back in a club after I went outside to go piss in a river and driving a Porsche home from a party after 12 pints of Stella! Oh and doing donuts in a private car park after a heavy drinking session and crashing my car in to a wall. So fucking stupid

I'm Mr. Sensible these days, and just count my lucky stars nothing serious ever happened.

Ran THROUGH a sliding glass door, apparently it was just cleaned that day, i was fucking w my girl and took her sandwich, thought the door was open so i ran fast to get outside and low and behold the door was not open.

Haha man.

Double whammy, I'm sure that not only hurt, but looked like a total ass in front of someone you're trying to impress.

I bet the emotional scars on that one are worse.

On a related note, my buddy's apartment has a sliding screen door that EVERYONE we know has walked through while it was close...including myself.

They've been there for a year, and they are on their 3rd "new" screen door.

I went to a chicken wing place and thought it was a good idea to get a huge order of the "atomic" chicken wings. 20 blazing chicken wings later the roof of my mouth was actually swollen from the heat and my lips were bright red. Not too bad. But then a week later my entire digestive system went to shit. Turned out the chicken wings burned the lining in my stomach which threw off the production of stomach acid which in turned messed up my intestines. I could only eat chicken noodle soup and crackers for a few months, and wasnt back to normal for more than 6 months.

Another one was when I had to drive my girlfriends car. I've always been a very safe driver, but for some reason she still told me to be very careful driving her car. So what do I do... i try to pull forward through a parking space in a parking lot and accelerate over one of those cement stops and tear out the plastic wheel well cover on one tire. Could have been much worse but I felt like an idiot.

 

[DestroyTheColossus]

Just thought of another good one. In one of my high school classes these annoying kids were throwing ice from one of their drinks around the room while the teacher was out. I grabbed one as the teacher walked back in, then waited until her back was turned and threw it at the kid who first threw it. I missed and nailed my teacher straight in the head. She turned and started yelling at my friend who was sitting next to me but didnt even see me throw it. He got all the initial heat, which was funny. Then when my teacher calmed down I went up to her and told her it was me and in a calm voice she said "Thanks for telling me. You should know better than to do that." And that was it. She was even joking with me by the end of the period.

I smoked for 23 years.


The rest of the list would take a week to write.

At Jordon: Does this mean you only know 3 people?

Damn, I ate some KFC hot wings and woke up at 3am that morning with vomit coming out of my nose, so I rushed to the bathroom to throw up.
Only fast food I've eaten since then was Burger King on the way to Wales this summer, but before that was about 2 years ago when I had the incident with KFC.

Eating Fast Food generally ranks up there as feeling like one of the gravest mistakes I could possibly make haha

 

[StefTD]

Like Gareth said, eating Fast Food, stopped that completely.

Not banging a 2 girls at once when I had the chance to do it,
just because I wanted another one (and later realized that she
was just a dumb chick...god damn!).
Sniffing Wasabi powder for 10€, that was the second time my
nose was bleeding, the first time was when it got broken in a
fight, that was another dumb mistake

 

[GarethSE]

Hahahaha, snorting wasabi... owwwwww
Funnily enough the only nosebleeds I've ever had have been self inflicted, usually by managing to knee myself in the face when getting up from sitting on the floor. I'm serious... hahaha

 

[Torniojaws]

Getting a Bachelor's in Information Technology. It's a dead profession in Finland: barely any companies hire anyone, it's ridiculously competitive (hundreds to thousands of applicants per a single job), and nationwide unemployment percentage in that field is nearing 50 % :zombie:

 

[JeffTD]

Living in Germany for the summer of 2008 with a girlfriend back at home. Should've ended that shit way earlier.

I was 16 or so and alone a my aunts place. Took a gun her husband had out from under there waterbed. Setting on the bed I started slowly pulling on the trigger. The gun fired right at the waterbed, my ears where ringinng like crazy and I'm panicing thinking omfg I just shot a fucking hole into my aunts bed! Not only was I going thru there stuff and playing with a gun, but I shot the fucking WATERBED!!! So I'm standing there waiting for the water to flood there bedroom and nothing? Luckly there where blanks in the gun...I put it back and went back to watching TV scared shitless that someone called the cops or they would find out, but they never did
