I know we all complain about the stupid people of the world, but today, just this once, lets all admit that we are stupid sometimes too

what is the stupidest thing you have done this week? this year? in your whole life?

serious or funny, I want to know........winner gets a cookie (gluten free of course)

In my whole life? Got together with an engaged girl. Worst mistake ever.

Sounds like a beat-your-head against the wall angrily sort of mistake to me.

Outside of that, everyone has done, many, many stupid things in their past, so this poll is pointless.

"Have I ever?! I am doing it right now!"

^ that one.

And I don't want to talk about it. <.<

so you don't get my joke?:eek: :( I thought it was plainly obvious.........:(

I got highly intoxicated once or twice in my life and I once jumped of my roof I was trying to fly oh and I flew for a bit.

I once climbed into a clothes drier while drunk and let my friends turn it on. On low, of course.

Hmm the stupides thing I did..staying up for 48 hours. Not my fault though. Got up on saturday morning with no plans. Got invited to a party stayed there till midday on sunday. Got home and watched many films and played computer games and talking to friends via msn. Didn't go to bed til 7am on Monday. Good times

Sounds like a beat-your-head against the wall angrily sort of mistake to me. Actually, when I did something like that, it helped me get over it.

Everyone has done stupid mistakes, man just isn't perfect.

Oh gosh, that time I drove in my friend's car when he was drunk and nearly got arrested.....

In my whole life? Got together with an engaged girl. Worst mistake ever.

I can beat that... getting together with a married man 12 years older than me, to be dropped together with his wife when he met a girl 8 years younger than me....

I can beat that... getting together with a married man 12 years older than me, to be dropped together with his wife when he met a girl 8 years younger than me....I'm only 22. I'll do worse later, I promise! :D

You might be idiots. I, on the other hand, am insane, which is much more interesting, and far and away more logical.

I'm only 22. I'll do worse later, I promise! :D

I think you already missed the opportunity. I didn't confess all of the story... :D

depends wether you get caught or not :p

so you don't get my joke?:eek: :( I thought it was plainly obvious.........:(

You are cruel and unusual. I like that. So right after I finish lunch I will post how I scared off dangerous dogs by sacrificing a friend to them.

I tend to say the wrong thing at all possible times.
Two Examples:

I was acting in this lame student film, and the whole crew was on break. One of the actors, who happened to be quite annoying, started talking about Stephen Harper, and how he shakes hands with his own children. Wanting to show him up, I said, "Oh, yeah? Have you hear about the new Christian Heritage Party candidate in our riding? He has fourteen kids! How many wives do you think he has?" Everything was silent for a moment. Then a third actor asked, "You do know that that's [fourth actor's] father, right?"
AND
Just last month, I was walking my dog with my friend Aletha. As we walked down my street, we got into a fight about which house was mine (not that I would know the answer to that :rolleyes: ). She pointed to my neighbour's house, and said, "That one is yours!" Thing is, my neighbour, who is in my grade at school, and is slightly cooler then me, was outside, washing his car. Sarcastically, I said "Yeah, you're right...and that's our slave washing the car." Apparently I said it a bit too loudly though, because, right afterwards, my neighbour looked up and gave me a look, like I was crazy. Needless to say, if he wasn't already creeped out by me, he is now.

I never understood that, its a little unusual, but come on

Plz, I've done 72 hours. Thank you, coffee!!!

Dumbest thing I ever did was Highway Surfing. You know, standing on the hood/roof of a car while its doing 60. Thank you, officer!!!

I'm doing, saying, dancing, praying and practising stupidity all the time!

Not really, the most stupid (and dangerous) thing I've done is playing football(soccer) in the railways near my house...

I never understood that, its a little unusual, but come on

It was big Grit ammo at the time (election campaigns).

Ok, not going to post the most stupid things I've ever done, but I'll give you something to build on...

I once got the idea into my head that I would get rid of the spider- and cob-webs in my room with a lighter. This was fine for the long strands dangling all over. However, I made the mistake of trying to get one off of a curtain in the same manner.

Part of my curtain is now gone, and there is smoke damage over one of my windows. :p

I've...

-cheated on a girlfriend. then after learning my lesson, gone and done it again except with multiple girls and even getting with one of them while I had the same girlfriend. Then telling a forum of people that know of the girl about it. to add EVEN MORE, the girl happens to be the ex of a friend of mine.

-cybered that girlfriend, looked a pr0n, and even masturbated with my little sister in the same room.

-started playing Star Wars Battlefront naked... And then somehow... >.> <.< I got an erection... then I started doing it several times... getting an erection several times... then I finally got caught, butt-naked on the floor of my room. By my mother. Then having to explain to her I wasn't watching Star Wars and masturbating. And then I finally went back to my room while my older sister snickered at me because my mom told her.

-telling someone who hates homosexuality that I'm bisexual.

-I looked through my dad's room for heavy metal CDs he might have. Long story short, I found Celine Dion and his pr0n collection

-I hit on a girl I saw playing pool, only to creep her out. Turns out she was in 5th grade.

-I gave a girl a note anonymously that included the phrase "I would do many things to you, but I won't say cause they're for me to do and you to find out.

-kissing a guy and sayin' we were going to get married to a lot of people. (you could say he was the first person I was ever with, for close to a year and maybe even two)

-taking about 30 tylenol tablets because I had a headache.

And all those but the last happened within the past six months, except the last two. The former was in 1st grade, and I forgot when the latter. There's a lot more, but I don't want to list everything.

<snip>

Ok, while none of these things might be very clever, one might get the impression that you're trying to show off here :D

Well, they're all true.

Not bad idiocy part 1


There were three very big guard dogs of mixed heritage that got ot of their fenced in area at a local neighborhood industrial park nearly every night. They would chase and bark at and snap at every vehicle that went down the street which ended where I lived.

One night I was riding home with a friend in his Chevy LUV urban curb jumper when the dogs had escaped. They went after his truck and he had to stop to not run them over while they snarled and bit at his tires. Well he saw all he needed to see and when the dogs backed off enough to let him by he sped past they gave chase and he did a parking brake bat turn in the street and started chasing the dogs. He went over curbs and through the parking lot and over parking bumpers and speed bumps and had a good old time for about 5 minutes worrying the living spit out of those bully dogs. Their eyes were as big as saucers and their tails were between their legs and they really could run faster than I even suspected.

They never ever chased his truck again and in fact would look the other way and pretend they werent outside their fence whenever they saw that truck.

I may be slow but I learn. I plotted how I would someday teach those dogs to leave me alone on my motorcycle.

To be continued cuz I hate losing long posts

Another dumb thing I did was actually competing in the "Sexiest woman" thread ... :p

Smunkee's stupid thing today

I dyed my hair blonde, you would think since I am a natural blonde it would look good........but nope. Apparently I have dyed it brown so long that the blonde, just looks wrong....very very wrong.

I am going to wait a few days and go back to brown.

-I hit on a girl I saw playing pool, only to creep her out. Turns out she was in 5th grade.


"I swear officer, she said she was 18"

and as for the rest of the stuff, well, lets jsut say, youre not that intelligent

I knew it! *cries*

The ost stupid thing I've done? I don't know, there are so many of them, though I guess it was kinda stupid to more or less hurl myself at a stonefloor headfirst, giving me a mild concussion and an ugly scar in my forehead...

-cybered that girlfriend, looked a pr0n, and even masturbated with my little sister in the same room.

That's just fucking creepy.

-started playing Star Wars Battlefront naked... And then somehow... >.> <.< I got an erection... then I started doing it several times... getting an erection several times... then I finally got caught, butt-naked on the floor of my room. By my mother. Then having to explain to her I wasn't watching Star Wars and masturbating. And then I finally went back to my room while my older sister snickered at me because my mom told her.

So is that.


-telling someone who hates homosexuality that I'm bisexual.

Why? I hate gays and I'm bisexual.


-I looked through my dad's room for heavy metal CDs he might have. Long story short, I found Celine Dion and his pr0n collection
[Did you use them?]


-I hit on a girl I saw playing pool, only to creep her out. Turns out she was in 5th grade.

Again, fucking creepy. You couldn't tell she was 9 or 10?


-I gave a girl a note anonymously that included the phrase "I would do many things to you, but I won't say cause they're for me to do and you to find out.

Meh, that's fine.


-kissing a guy and sayin' we were going to get married to a lot of people. (you could say he was the first person I was ever with, for close to a year and maybe even two)

Meh, you never marry the first person you go with.


-taking about 30 tylenol tablets because I had a headache.

See a doctor, that can cause liver failure.

I was at a music festival and we were all sitting around outside drinking and smoking. Then I heard this noise coming from a tent from this couple getting it on so I shouted "need some help in there?" and she said "yes, yes, yes!" so I went on in and she told me to fuck off!
I felt so let down, some women are such teases.

Oh, I've done that to... Except my hair has turned darker, so after I dyed my hair I forgot to take care of my eyebrows... It looked slightly...off.

Got into a van with a woman who held the wheel with one hand while smoking a joint with the other. Found once I got in that the van had no seatbelts. Did not die, but was so terrified that I refused a lift home and instead walked nine miles home, ripped off my face.

You ripped off your face?! OMFG!!!!!

Got myself kicked out of driving school at 16. My mom wasn't willing to pay for it again or get me a car till I got a license and I never did and so I'm 24 now and still working towards it. Cost me a whole f*ckload of dating and social opportunities.

Two years ago, I got a half-gallon bottle of 100 proof Smirnoff vodka and tried to drink the whole thing by myself. Passed out after a pint and woke up nine hours later nauseated, half naked, with puke all over my bedroom carpet.

This week? Hard to narrow it down to just one instant of stupidity. Probably working 72 hours.

This year? Multiply the above by 52 and you get the Idea.

In my life? The stupidest thing I have ever done in my life would be to have gave a single shit what the rest of the world thought of me.

Meh, you never marry the first person you go with.

Did you read the rest of the post? It was in grade 1 :p

Ugh. So many mistakes, so little time.

And, no, I don't particularly think anyone wants their ears to start bleeding, so I won't tell.

So back to the dog story

One Saturday Im taking off down the road with a friend on the back of my bike.
The guard dogs are out so I had to accellerate hard to get by them and I instantly came up with a plan . I pulled over off the side of the road into the dust and pea gravel and I'd wait until the big viscious dogs were on top of me and Id spray them in the face with gravel and dust from my rear wheel.
In the roughly 5 seconds before the dogs caught up I turned around and quickly shouted through my full faced helmet to my passenger "Hold on tight"
I later learned from him that this sounded like "wghtwj yuig ikwuegu3"
He replied "Huh, what?"
Which I misinterpretted as "OK"
When the dogs were about 2 feet away from biting us I revved the motor dropped the clutch and spun the back wheel. The last I saw of my friend for awhile before the dust and gravel all settled back to earth was his boots whizzing past my shoulders as he was dumped upside down and backwards into a pack of mean dogs and an ungodly spray of dust and gravel from my rear wheel.
I probably waited too long to stop and turn around but I was doing a nice wheelie and the dogs I cant even see for a huge dust cloud worry me. Fortunately for my friend the dogs were smarter than I imagined and they wanted no part of some maniac who'd jump upside down off a bike right at them. Also on the plus side they never chased me again.
On the minus side I still hear far too often about this from that friend and others. Ive helped him move 3 times since then and we still arent even!

Going to school sober.

:(

Bahahaha!!

Watch your back if you and him ever get drunk..:eek:

I clipped the green wire.

I lit my happy trail on fire which in turn ignited my testes,marking it with hidious 3rd degree burns,and fusing the skin of the penis to the testes.Not really,but that would hurt,eh?LOL.AHAHAHAHAHA.

I think the dumbest thing I've ever done is set a biscuit on fire in the microwave,fire extinguish it,and then eat it....:eek: :confused:

This week? Forgotten to feed a friend's pet turtle and it died. I had to buy a new one.

I spent the entire day with my mother, didn't properly vent and then was a bitch to my husband most of this evening. :(

Aight, I got some pretty good stories on this topic... I'll go with the most recent.

A couple of days ago I got totally smashed. Vodka, beer, mixed shit, the whole package. Well, some friends and I decided we needed to something crazy. Because crazy's cool, and chicks dig crazy. Of course, there were no chicks walking the streets at 2:00 AM, so it was a pretty dumb idea from the start.

Well, I decided that I'd take my board and ollie of my roof onto the truck parked in the street below and roll down the front onto the pavement. I climb out my bedroom window on the roof and start rolling down (the roof's barely slanted, almost flat) but I'm so hammered I went down at an angle, missed the truck entirely, and landed safely in the grass. Drunkenly falling from two stories into the dirt and grass, it knocked the shit out of me.

Winded, and dizzy, I looked at my friend and said, "Dude, tell me you got that shit on camera!" :p

Yeah, I do pretty dumb stuff at times. But it hasn't killed me yet. :D

Why did you go to mothers?

:(

Why did you go to mothers?
stupidity. I swear, I forget how evil and annoying she is....

I fell for the guilt trip once again, although I was probably just tired of hearing it, so I went thinking it would shut her up.... I was very wrong. :(

Is it wrong to hate your mom?

Guilt trips are sucky things..

I don't think it's wrong to hate your mother.. I can't explain why.. but.. yeah.

When she treats you as a burden, you shouldn't have to treat her as a mother.

Another dumb thing I did was actually competing in the "Sexiest woman" thread ... :p

Hey I was a judge there and you ARE one of the ten sexiest women on NS!
That ain't hay. :fluffle:
Personally I'd say you are in the top 5.:D

I can beat all of yours *Laughs*



I was loading my Computer into my truck, when I saw someone come up behind me. Thinking it was my dad, I said, "Oh foul, muffinheaded muffin!" (*inside joke with me, my dad, and my friends from when I was in 6th grade) I turned around to see an astounded lady, who merely stared at me then said, "Excuse me?" I apologized, and left, humiliated.

*My friends and I started the concept of the "Word of the Year". Muffin happened to be it. It's been the word of the year for abot 5 years now, and I still use variations of it periodically. Hince, the saying above, which was to confuse my dad....instead it embarrassed me!

all the really interesting stupid stuff i've done involves being drunk and i'm pretty sure i've posted the best on this forum already. did i mention walking across a large smouldering bonfire in rubber soled shoes and then passing out on the way back? or the time i fell out of a tree in front of a fast moving car on an icy night? when i'm sobre i'm just a bit more boringly stupid.

I have never done anything stupid in my life until today when I posted this. I used to be practically perfect in every way. Then I voted and posted in this thread.

I did some really trippy things in high school. Among them:

Asked my friends, "is a pentagon a real shape?"

Lose the paperwork for a $1000 scholarship.

Lose the paperwork for a different $1000 scholarship 3 months later.

Tried to jump over a pickle ball net. I missed, jumped INTO the net, and broke my elbow, three days before a band competition (I play trombone). For those not in the know, pickle ball is like tenis, only with wiffle balls and 200% more suck.

A year after breaking my elbow, I joined the sprint team, and run the 110 meter high hurdles for the first time in a decatholon. I promtly sprain my hip.

A year after spraining my hip, I start running hurdles in serious competition. I promptly sprain my ankle. I don't try to jump over things anymore.

The stupidest thing I've EVER done: Get my (ex) girlfriend and her best friend topless...on the same day, in the same house. There's nothing I regret more than ruining their friendship. It was the only time I've done something that was not only stupid, but was also evil.

The stupidest thing I've seen a friend do, I'll call him K. Conversation goes like this...

K: "Atreyu makes me so warm and fuzzy inside. To bad you can't come to tommorow" (to the show)

L: "Dude, you're such a F***ing whore"

K: "Your mom"

silence....

K suddenly remembers that L's mom just died.
