Stupidest thing you've done this week ?

The stupidest thing i've done was in band practice, where I was playing an electric bass with a pick. I play fingerstyle, and was unsure of how to properly use the flexible bright pink object in my right hand. I was also distracted by a certain something ;) across the room. We were playing an Ab scale, so I was not paying much attention to my instrument, and was plucking rather hard, and on the upstroke on the highest note of the scale, the pick flew out of my hands, and conked my teacher. "Don't like playing with a pick, eh?" was the rather embarassing response.

So, what was you're moment of stupidity in the last 167 hours?

I took out a glass to get a drink.
Then I wandered off.
Then I realized I was thirsty,
I came back and got out another glass.
I continued this process until I had 5 glasses out in various places around the house where i had set them down, and I had none left in the cupboard.

I accidentally mismarked something one time I took the SATs, and had to erase and re-fill in 40 or so little bubbles.

At least you got to correct it though. I only realised after I left and talked about it.

I drove my bike through the school hallways in full camoflague and army helmet. Right after school, so most people were there. No one recognized me though. And I had someone ready to swing the door open so I could just drive out. It was awesome, I had my CD player hooked up to lousy speakers, so I went flying down the hallways with Ride Of The Valkyries blaring, it was like the scene from Apocolypse Now. Teachers though just heard the song, and saw a camo'ed person on a bike and bout died laughing.

Congratulations! You've just done something stupid! Maybe it's the stupidest all week, but that's not likely......I'm sure you've done much worse.

I got into a drunken mob brawl between my dorm's floor and a Fraternity.

About a week ago, someone in the frat told this guy from my floor "Party's over, you can just take the keg." He did, and they noticed it was missing about four days later, so when that guy goes back with a friend for another party, someone jumps him. It'd be 12 on 2 if he tried, so he comes back here, borrows a bit of my supply of hard liquor, dares me to chug a bottle of white rum, and then starts recruiting. We're all smashed and stupid, so he gets about 20 people who just want to break shit to walk in 20 degree freezing rain to the frat house, and we whack the shit out of random strangers outside for an hour, stopping every five minutes when somebody yells "COPS" and runs away.

Then a few people remembered that they had cars nearby, and everyone but the guy who took the keg piled in. We get to our nice, warm dorms safely, he comes in an our later, and nobody can move the next day.

last Wednesday, I was about to go to bed and I was setting my alarm and I thought to myself 'right, it's Friday tomorrow, i don't start college until 9:50 so I can have a lie in' so I set my alarm for 8:30. Next morning, I got up at 8:30 and went to brush my teeth, then suddenly it occured to me 'it's Thursday ****! I have an exam at 9!' this was a huge problem because I wasn't dressed or anything and it takes me an hour to get to college on the bus. So I quickly got dressed and luckily my nan was on hand to lend me some money for a taxi, so I got to college for 9:20, ran to the sports hall only to realise that was the wrong room so I ran to the right room, sat at my desk then reached into my pocket only to realise I'd forgotten my pen and calculator so I had to put my hand up and ask a teacher who had to go around the room looking for a pen for me, I eventually started the exam half an hour late, and I was doing well until I turned over the page to find a 10 mark question and a 40 mark essay and then looked at the clock to find I only had 5 minutes left, I think it's safe to say I havn't done very well in that exam

Was talking to my friend on ski's, and I started to drift backwards, so I dug my poles into the ground. I then let go of them to adjust my glove, and went backwards down the hill, taking out two people. I stopped when my ski hit a tree and i flew into the ground, face first.

Ha! I did the exact same thing once, but it hit the certain something. :(

I've since learned to hold onto my pick. :p

Stupidest thing I've done all week...

My (evil) ex boyfriend/ex best friend got dumped by his new girlfriend (she told him that she needed to restore her faith in god, cause he kinda took that away), so a couple of hours later, he starts flirting with ME again, and then randomly asks, 'yeah, if we went out, what base would you go to with me?'

So, when i told my mates, they were outraged (as in trying to get out of lessons and go to his house and beat him to a bloody pulp), and then - stupid bit - I DEFENDED the ex. WHY WHY WHY?!

at work (mcdonalds) asked someone in drive thru if they would like their meal for here or to go.

went to the grocery store and ran into a stand holding assorted suckers (you know, the kind with somewere around a hundred suckers placed into little holes) while walking backwards. felt like an ass, but helped pick it up at least.

as i was leaving this store, i ran into the sliding glass doors. actually knocking it out of place, as it was pretty weak. took awhile to put it back. once again, i felt like an ass.

made several clueless attempts at getting into the wrong car. the dog inside didnt give me a clue for the first few seconds while i was talking to the key (trying to get the damn thing to work)

spent longer then i should have looking for a pencil that was in my hand. and then as i was sitting down to use it, i accidently sat on a pencil.

yes, today was a bad day, i havent slept in forever, and dispite how it sounds, i do not do any drugs/booze.

its a sleeping disorder punctuated with my own stupidity/stubborness. and yes, quite a pain in the ass to tame. come to think of it, maybe the drugs/booze would help? how about that drink you promised me a few threads back? that'll knock me out.

i drank too much tea and got a caffine rush.

that's a bad one. I once had too much caffeine in my blood and it was horrible. I had to vomit, would all of a sudden lose my balance or almost pass out, ...

I normally don't drink coffee, but this one day i had a giant thermos filled with coffee and carried it around the entire afternoon. Every few minutes i would pour a cup and drink it. On top of all this, those that were used to drinking coffee said it was very strong. That was the last time i ever drank the stuff

I must be really tolerant then.
I can drink a full pot of multiply-brewed coffee without anything like that happening.
I should probably cut down on my caffeine consumption...

2) Told Tink she wasn't ugly when my paranoid girlfriend was behind me reading the post. I still have bruises.

3) Spent quarter of an hour in my last exam on a calculation, and ended up doing my usual trick of successfully proving 1 = 1. Successful?
