What is the dumbest thing you have ever done?
« on: September 06, 2006, 09:21:35 PM »
What, that you can remember and posting it wouldnt dredge up painful memories, is the dumbest thing you've ever done.

Mine is when me and my father went bay fishing during a tornado.  We were trying to find something we'd enjoy doing together(which we have failed at grotesquely) and we tried to go fishing.  We tried sea fishing, and lake fishing, and all had been failures, so we tried fishing in the bay.  We got in a rental boat, rented at Polly's boats by the way, the most cheap and shitty looking establishment outside of butt-fuck no where and drove out for 15 minutes, then sat there for an hour, and then it occured to us we should try turning off the motor incase it was scaring away the fish.  Then it got windy and rainy, and the rain was coming at us from the side so the canopy was useless, and we were drenched and freezing, and we didnt catch any fish, and then we decided.... fuck it.  So we tried to turn the motor back on..... 30 minutes later we figured out how to do that.  And apparently we had drifted because it took us 45 minutes to drive back to where we started.  And then we decided to free the minoes.  And then we dumped them overboard, only realizing at the last moment it was into the motor.  And we finally got back onto (relatively) dry land, shambled into the car and declared it the dumbest thing we've ever done.

And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.
Reverence is fine, Sanctity is silly.
We're all fucked, it helps to remember that.

At least you weren't alone in that.  :laugh:

I've done many dumb things, but I can't think of the dumbest right now. :-\

Apparently I have no respect for the sanctity of life, because that was the most hilarious thing I read all day.

I've done my share of dumb things, but unfortunately all the spectacularly dumb ones seem to have erased themselves from my memory. I know they're in there though, hiding, somewhere.... If inspiration strikes, I will be back.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

More than a year ago I had to have my wisdom teeth cut out. When I got home I was exhausted and in a ton of pain. My mouth was sealed shut from dried blood, and I didn't want to eat anything. Unfortunately I had to eat something in order to take the painkillers prescribed to me. So I ate a chocolate pudding knowing damn well it wouldn' be enough food for me and took the pill. Five minutes later I was throwing up all of the blood I had swallowed duing the procedure. I had been wondering why I felt so full when I got home.

Trusted people who really didn't deserve that trust far too many times, even giving them second, third, fourth chances >:(

That's hysterical (in the telling, that is).  I especially love that bit about freeing the minnows.  There's something "Finding Nemo"-ish about it.

Anyway, sounds like every family vacation I've ever been forced to go on.  You get back home and wonder why in hell you left in the first place.

Dumbest thing I ever did was hitchhike to the beach (150 miles from home) with a few of my friends when I was 15.  Barefoot.  We caught a ride with a trucker and thought we were cool.  OMG how stupid can you get.  It was a wake-up call - when I got back home safely, I realized it was only through some miracle and that from then on I'd think before I did something.

Pretty damn lucky. That's the premise of most of the cases I see on the A&E channel crime shows.

I've done my share of dumb stuff too.....

But the most recent occurred this past winter when I hopped on the motorcycle for a ride when my mind was preoccupied with something else.
I lost sight of how dangerous motorcycling was.
My lack of presence of mind that day resulted in me getting in a wreck with a truck.

I managed to walk away with relatively minor injuries, just severe bruising ...nothing broken on me...bike totaled.
