Dumb things you've done in your lifetime.

Broke my neck diving into a 4ft deep above ground swimming pool - completely sober. WTF?

 

[yh125d]

Wtf? Why?

It was 1st period, I was bored.

It's really not my fault that you started a thread that should have been filled with drunken mishaps and the story you shared was "Oh no! I burnt myself with a fork". How old art thou?

29, and I turned out just fine. Share a story of your own, oh great one.

Probably when I decided to burn brush on a terraced hillside in Italy and nearly caused a massive forest fire. Somehow, I don't know how, I got control of it.

Me and a buddy were playing fireman in my backyard (we were 12 years old). Ended up burning a quarter of my backyard's grass (this in texas during the summer)

Haha, as good a reason as any.

Just shut the fuck up.

FWIW I know someone who did something similar, and he's in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. You were really lucky if you recovered fully

Back when I was 22/23, I drove home from my gf's house at 1:30am even though I was really tired (I was sober though). I fell asleep for a few seconds on a straight stretch of road, had accelerated from 80 to 110 km/h in a 60 km/h zone, and was almost completely in the next lane over. I jolted awake and made it the rest of the way home. Should have just slept over.

One time in Paris, on a Contiki tour, I got way too drunk. Had wine at the restaurant, beer at the show, and then more beer at the campsite when we got back. Then one girl passed me a tequila bottle, and apparently I had a couple swigs (I don't remember that though). I woke up 4 or 5 hours later, locked in the shower in my boxers, having puked massively. After my g/f got over the initial worry that I might have died in there (good thing I puked), she was really pissed off at me for the next few days. I know my tolerance much better now.

Kind of a tossup between breaking both wrists in 6th grade running into a wall or the time a friend and I knocked down a mailbox during a snowstorm while walking home.

Ugh, the Paris campground with the shower toilets combination rooms... nasty. Easy to clean up, though

I got way too drunk at that freaking cabaret too, Im sure thats what you mean by show!

Trying to jump my heavy-ass Huffy on a 90-degree pile of dirt.

Next thing I know I'm coming down head-first onto a concrete sidewalk (did no damage luckily!) and it took me a few seconds to realize my handlebars had gotten bent when it came crashing down almost on top of me.

You can add people to your ignore list, then you never have to see their posts.

Eh you didn't really have a valid opinion. next. STFU? lol how's that working out for ya genius?

Passed a car on the right side going 60 mph on a way to a BB tourny...not my brightest move with a car full of guys...(although the look on the guys face was priceless as he watched us pass)...

jumping off a 30 foot tree into a lake...getting stuck in a foot and a half of mud and struggling to not drown (probably the scariest thing I have done as a kid)

swimming across a 3 quart of a mile wide lake for Shits and grins with a buddy...only to get out into the middle and realize you can't make it...

Last I checked that didn't work. Else you'd be on top of the compiled lists

qft, sometimes I can't break the habit of posting on forums.

Dumbest (reality) thing I did was probably trying to spar with a real tanto blade. I cut deep into my RH pinky, but not enough to the bone. It was oozing the deeper colored blood, the almost violet-purpleish kind.

Instead of going to the hospital to get it stitched up, I put superglue on it and today I still have a slightly visible scar there.

Those incompletes that were due back in February that I still haven't started and don't have confirmed extensions on... yeah one way or another last time this is happening.

Yea, it was the cabaret show! LOL . The hostels were so much better than that campsite, oh man. So you went on a Contiki tour too? You'll have to PM me the really juicy stories haha.

When I was a kid, I had one of those old-school erector sets (insert masturbation/penis joke here). It came with one of those little battery operated motors, which had wire leads for connecting the batteries. It seemed like a pretty cool idea to stick the leads in a 110 outlet just to see what would happen. The motor spun up really fast, which was uber-cool. Then with a bright flash and a loud bang, the motor popped, and the house's master breaker flipped. My Dad, who was in the next room, was more than highly intrigued.

Blew up a garage when I was 7 or 8
Jumped off the roof of a three story apartment into the courtyard pool
Fell two stories into a pile of insulation
Rode a toboggan down a ski jump
And then I turned 18...
