What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?

Just wondering what kind of funny and embarasing things people here are willing to admit having done before. I can't think of a lot for myself at the moment, which is not to say that I haven't done stupid things. One that comes to mind that isn't all that special happened a few months ago.

I was at work and was using a small tool for opening these large bags of liquid cheese when I went to clean the tool. Now this tool is designed to slice through a plastic membrane keeping the cheese in the bad. So obviously it had some charp edges on it, but I thought it was just plastic doing the cutting. Boy was I surprised when I used my thumb to wipe off some cheese under the tap only to discover that it was a razor blade doing the cutting. 2 stitches latter and a few laughs and I won't be doing that again. Like I said nothing special.

I told my friend in Farsi that the woman walking in front of us has a big ass...

Turns out she also spoke Farsi ...

Just tell us one or two at random why not.

Recently...

Packaged and boxed up a PC build I sold. Got everything together (shipping address, purse, car keys, sunglasses, etc.), drove down to FedEx....uh, oh....left the damn thing at work:(:roll:

Hmm that one's more of a toss up to me... You can always go to the strip club but you only get to set up a new plasma so many times. Then again I'm a geek.

When I was young I had no friends and was lonely. So, I'd poke my self in the eye until a certain pattern of spots would consistently appear. I'd name the ones that would always show up and pretend that they were actually giant bacterium, and would play games with them. When the dots collided, it meant they were angry at each other. When they span around, it meant they needed food. The funny thing is that my eyesight is still great.

Well....

I was at home, I gotten sick. I had some soup and whatnot, but I spelt some all over my jeans. No big deal, I threw them in the laundry machine and started it. 10mins later I remember of an email that was on my sidekick that I was suppose to forward, I looked on my desk, and my phone wasnt there... It was in the washing machine. I almost cried. 7 days later, I turn it on. Battery still held a charge and everything was working perfect for a minute, but the screen started to tweak out, buttons were going wild.

Good thing is, 4hrs after the washing machine incident, I drove home with a new sidekick2, AND i sold the my other one for $125 to a guy I knew, he thought he could fix it. New one costed $130, so I was only out 4hrs and $5...

Another one. I remember. A few years back I was feeling really down so I decided to hit the bottle a bit. Well this was in my parents house and before I knew it I had downed 2 whole bottles of wine and was feeling more than a bit tipsy and sick. Suddenly I had to throw up so I stood up and headed for the bathroom, I didn't make it anywhere close. My parents weren't too happy to have to clean up barf off the couch and rugs that night.
