The most stupid decision of your life?

Just curious... I know there are a number of really stupid decisions out there.
And funny ones.
So let's hear them... ;)

Waiting as long as I did until I came out. That was pretty stupid. Doing it the way I did was also kind of stupid...

I have made too many bad decisions to count or to try to remember, I can say that 90% of them were made under the influence of drugs, so I guess the stupidest decision of my life was when I was 9 and got high the first time. I should have just left it alone.

Hmm. Conversely to Fass, I think I came out too early. Things sorta went downhill fast from there, and have only recently begun to recover somewhat.

I'm trying to think of mine... there were plenty, I think.

I think the worst decision was not to stand up to my father sooner enough, and not to seek help...

Makes me curious : How did you do it?

The night of the big prom going down on a guy in my class I had sworn never to have anything to do with, then having several of our classmates pass us by just as we had finished up, me wiping my mouth, him zipping his pants up, my suit "stained."

The talk in school the following day was, umm, interesting to deal with. At least we graduated the same week...

It was not my "style" back then, but it was effective. Was kind of fun to see all the girls that had a crush on him jealous as all hell and hating my guts, though! ;)

I took too long to "come out" to my family, when it could have probably prevented a lot of depression on my part. The second silliest is not capitalising on it enough now that I have, but I aim to correct that mistake as soon as I have the cash :P

An absolute stupidity was this one: when I tried to put under pressure my boss (in order to earn more money), I told him 'You know? These guys nearer to my house have offered me a new employment, and I'm thinking on what to do...'

And he told me 'You don't need to come here this afternoon if you don't want...'

I really don't know if it was stupid or not, but I listened to my teachers and family when I turned down a chance to play baseball straight out of highschool. No it was not a mega million dollar contract, but I will still never know what could have been had I followed my own dream instead of someone elses.

My relationship is in trouble and Iv got the feeling whatever I do will turn out to be pretty stupid, possibly the dumbest thing I ever did. Il let you know if this thread is still active in a few days. aside from that? I once dumped a girl for obne with bigger tits. now the original one is going out with a friend of mine while my current relationship - not the big tits girl that went nowhere - is falling apart. goddamn it.

Stupidity is an artform for me. However, I don't think we're talking about humorous inanity. SO that greatly narrows it down.

The two stupidst decisions of my life were:

Dropping out of college the first time. Because of my inability to apply myself, I lost several valuable grants and loans. Because of that, I could no longer afford to stay in college. I ended up joining the Navy in order to pay for and finish college. It does have a happy ending, though as my years in the Navy were some of the most memorable and formative of my life.

The second was a girl I dated in college. It turns out she was a psychopath from a family of psychopaths and after her brother put me in the hospital and I had him arrested, she threw a cinderblock through my cars windshield and slashed my tires.

I no longer date anybody crazier than I am. And since I'm married to woman with just the right amount and type of crazy, I guess I'm keeping true to my word. :p

This was not the best decision, but I remembered SLC as being quiet, so that's where I wanted to go. I survived, though.

Probably the majority of the decisions I have made have been stupid, otherwise I wouldn't have learned from them and become the super-genius I am today.:D

But really, stupidest........probably when I got a this girl to give me a mohawk over Christmas break. It looked pretty awesome, and everyone thought it was cool (including parents and old people on the street). My parents (who happen to be "left-wing" and "open" to all sorts of things here in Canada) freaked claiming I was some cancer patient hating neo-nazi.:rolleyes: So they forced me under the razor and shaved it off.

*stares blankly into space, still not getting it*

After this substantial delay after the public break of the scandal, Lewinsky received transactional immunity on July 28, 1998 in exchange for grand jury testimony concerning her relationship with Clinton. Under oath she admitted that her relationship with Clinton involved oral sex, including oral-anal contact, as documented in the Starr report, which eventually led to President Clinton's impeachment, on the basis of perjury and obstruction of justice regarding the affair. She also turned over a semen stained blue dress (which Tripp had encouraged her to save without dry cleaning) to the Starr investigators thereby providing a smoking gun based on DNA evidence that could prove the relationship despite Clinton's official denials.

Woo, for a second there I thought you may have been a lost cause; one of those sucked into the blackhole of crappy automobiles. Toyoto is a smart decision, rather bland I feel but reliable, proven cars. I suggest you drive that from now on and leave the Kia to your significant other....unless they've done the same, in which you'll have to come up with an evil plan to steal it back.

Actually, while "stupidest" may be correct usage, so is "most stupid". That being said, calling someone stupid because their usage does not conform to what you consider proper may not be stupid, but it is ignorant and offensive.

Not to spread any stereotypes or anything, but most people there of The Faith get married at about 19, so even if there were (I wasn't looking much), they'd be hitched and mothers by 20. There are a lot of Big Blondes, if that's what you mean.
