    So, what's the dumbest thing you've ever done out of sheer boredom?

    I'll get the ball rolling, I once attempted to trim my nose hair with a lighter.


    Hurt like f*ck.

    Decided to see what would happen if I put a 2 euro coin in the blender. Smashed right through the plastic jug and went flying into a wall!

    Back when we were in primary school when we were bored, we used to get a copper coin, and rub it really fast over a bit of skin on the front of our hand.
    Winner was whoever got the most skin off.

    Don't go trying it-it hurt like hell and took ages to heal.

    I did some pretty stupid things as a child. I once took the label off of an AA battery and got battery acid all over my hand. Luckily I washed my hand just in time before it did any damage. Another time I was playing with a stapler and put a staple right through my thumb. Then there was the time I was reading a comic while eating my breakfast and spilled boiling milk all over my crotch. It hurt. :(

    Take the container off a blender, realise that to get the spinning disc underneath the blender to work the safety button must be pressed in like it would if the container was placed on it. Precariously press it in with the little finger and turn on the blender and watch the wheel/disc spin very fast, and then press thumb on to it while it spins and watch as a massive gash is made on the thumb, then bleed.

    It was a learning experience. Next time I need more back-arch and pressure.

    Give myself a Brazillian after drinking two bottles of wine. Not only was it uneven, but it hurt a lot for a few days after it.

    I also took apart the pipes leading out of the sink to clean out the gunk, those pipes were impossible to get secure again.

    Wash cushions off a couch. And then put them in the dryer. Trying to get the shruken fabric back onto the much bigger cushion was similar to trying to lick my elbow...impossible.

    A mate once pressed the panic button in his house. Spent 20 minutes at his front door explaining to the gardai that he actually owned the house and wasn't trying to burgle it.

    Stapled my finger once to see if it would curl up like it does when you staple paper, turns out it does.

    The telly was off one night so I decided to smash open a safe I forgot the combination to - with a hammer, a drilll and some screwdrivers. It was fun but I could have done myself serious damage for 2 fcukin prize bonds worth a tenner.

    The boyf cracked up then cause I broke every single one of his new drill bits :pac:

    Me and my friend decided it would be clever to smash a empty naggin bottle of our heads, we were drinking and I stupidly challenged him to smash it off his head.

    He barely hit it off his head and it looked like it hurt like hell. So I sucked up everything I had, and with all the power I could get behind the swing, bang. 4 to 5 hours in hospital.:cool:

    I suppose drink driving alone in the icy mountains at 3am just to get some nice photos of snow was the dumbest thing I ever did due to boredom.
