Ever done anything really stupid?

Gael23

This morning I went to college with two different shoes on me.
Anyone else ever done anything else ridiculously stupid?

You'd look much more ridiculous with both feet in the one shoe.

Hey! :mad: I used to do that deliberately. One black converse, one white.

I was once so drunk at a party, that I urinated in someone's hotpress.

Oh the shame.

I was at a party in Glasgow in the 1980s and woke up inside a wardrobe for some reason, anyway was looking for the toilets to throw up in, couldn't find them so decided to throw up in the hosts stereo turntable. It must have been good drugs or bad back then.

I got so g*e eyed once and lost me expensive leather jacket in a taxi. Some lucky person got a 86 Euro jacket off me for free

Once, during my college days, I got drunk went home but I didn't go in. Instead I stood outside it in the middle of the road, one of the busiest streets in the city, and started directing traffic. Stopping cars, especially taxis, and only allowing them to pass when I felt like. Eventually, I heard sirens so I ran inside, ran upstairs to my bedroom and hid under the bed for three hours panicking that I was about to be arrested.

I have to say, I've since matured. I still get drunk but I only sing, badly, on the way home now.

I'd stayed up all night studying for one of my final year exams.
I was grubby and unwashed and tired and worn out, but it was my last exam and I knew as soon as it was over I could come home and go to bed.
When it came to 8am, I looked down at what I was wearing - a T-shirt I'd been wearing since the day before and a pair of tracksuit bottoms, figured yeah, that's grand, sure it's exams, we're allowed look a bit dishevelled. And I can wear my coat over it.
Grabbed my coat off the back of my door, threw it on over my clothes, put my schoolbag on my back and off I went.
It was only when I was getting crazy-person stares as I crossed the apartment car park when I looked down and realised I'd put on my dressing gown instead of my coat.

I once rang a takeaway to make an order for collection. There are two takeaways with similar names in the area. I obviously went into the wrong one ; )

If you think different shoes is really stupid then you haven't ever actually done anything really stupid.

I've tried melting the nozzle of a gas refill can with a lighter.

There was another time that I filled a water pistol with petrol so that I could have my own flame-thrower; turns out that petrol melts glue, who knew?

What about hanging out of a car at 50mph attempting to arm wrestle on the roof?

I posted a tweet I soon regretted then deleted it.

I walked up to the door of the house and clicked my car keys at it.

Years ago I did a workshop type of thing with work. It was casual during the day with a "poshish" dinner at night.

Anyway come to change for dinner - no jeffing shoes. Had to wear a suit with trainers. The top man said in his speech - thanks for breaking your golfing holiday to join.

To add insult to injury the only thing my team won all day was the highest bar tab.

Did that but in someone's wardrobe, got a smack on the jaw for that!

Another one I did was when I was about 15 I must have done something bold because my Dad sent me to my bedroom and told me to stay there (I had strict parents lol). I took him too literally and when I needed to go to the toilet, I found a plastic bag in my room and p****d into that. Turns out plastic bags sometimes have holes in them.

He wasn't any more pleased with me than he had been beforehand.

I went over to London for a few days to see a concert so I booked the return flight for 2 days later after the concert. 2 days later I wasn't able to do the online check in , or find my flight . So off I go to the airport thinking I'd sort it out there. I also tried the machine yoke which didn't work either . So I went to the regular check in desk to ask what was wrong only to be told "your flight was yesterday" had got the days mixed up I didn't check either . Luckily I had a place to stay had to ring parents to get the money home as I hadn't enough on me to book a new flight.

You seem to be a petrol themed person in general.

Did similar. Booked for a wedding a few years back - one of these really helpful people that think its great fun to get married abroad - anyway booked the flights exactly a week out.

Tried to work out if we could go for 2 weeks instead - money was pretty tight - in the end just had to waste the flights - pretty sick:o

I did the same once and walked into town, I realised when I was half way there. Walked back with one foot in the gutter hoping noone would notice. In hindsight it probably made it all the more obvious

I got up and went to college once, did like 4 hours, wasn't till I waiting at the bus stop I realised my shoes were on the wrong feet.

Not the same thing or particularly stupid, but this post reminded me of the time I was looking for a Pizza, so I called Dominos in rathmines, but I accidently put in an extra number

phone number is 014960577, but I accidentally dialed 0149060577, I ordered the pizza and they said no problem will be about 30 min. So about 30 min later a pizza arrives at my door but it doesn't have the domino box so I am a bit weirded out.

It turns out that the number I accidently dial is actually a take away place called Mizzonis and the pizza was delicious

But seriously what are the chances that a misdialed number would actually turn out to be another take away.

Tried to walk through a plate-glass window to pick up take-out. I bounced off it, face first. Everyone inside was in stitches laughing. One or two were actually crying.

Two weeks later, I did exactly the same thing again, this time there was blood but it didn't stop people laughing themselves incoherent.

Had a friend over visiting and we were having a great chat. I needed to go get a glass of water from the kitchen and what did I do only pick up the tv remote control, pointed it at her and pressed 'pause'!
I am so used to doing that with the tv.
Don't think she noticed.!

One time I was ordering from dominoes, put in my address into the automatic address selector, didn't pay it much attention, ordered, an hour later I'm sitting there starving, the delivery chap calls me to say he can't find the house, I'm like what the ****, turns out I put in an address in goddamn Mayo instead of dublin and this delivery chap had been looking for me for like half an hour.

Was flying down a hill on my bike when I got a puncture in my front tyre. It had been a long climb up the hill and I was looking forward to the other side. Was so annoyed I stood up and kicked the front wheel. Foot went through spokes, jammed in forks and I summersaulted with the bike. Broke my toe, scraped my face badly and had to walk miles home.

djflawless

Oh numerous stupid things! 1 from work. Forgot my protective gloves were full of holes..stuck my arms, up to my elbows, in a vat of 85 celsius water with a 60% concentration of caustic soda...nice set of scaley blistered hands for 2 weeks after it

Used a screwdriver as a chisel in woodwork. In fairness the joint was thinner than any of the chisels I had at my disposal

I did something similar: there are two chinese rest. in Swords, one at each end of the main street. I went into (the other) one to pick up my order only for there to be nothing there. Quick as a flash, the girl rang the other chinese and told me my order was down there!

Felt like some dufus!!!

Was on my way in to a restaurant for a job interview and managed to get both myself and the interviewer stuck in the revolving door on the way in. My bag was the culprit, but it took an abnormally long amount of time to free both of us. Needless to say, my Frank Spencer impression meant that I did not get the job

Yester

I gave my phone number on some online deal to win a free holiday. They have rang me loads of times to say I have won a holiday in Florida and all they need is my credit card details to arrange car rental. Funny thing is, no matter how many times I give them my details I never get the holiday. I still get charged for the car rental though.

No, never.

It was a dry day and I decided to go into my field and light some grass on fire to see if it would burn. It ****ing did.

I had to extinguish it when it got out of hand and turned a patch of grass into what looked like a big black crop circle.

Not my stupid thing but my mam used to make both my brother (who was about 18 at the time) and my dads lunch for work.

She went through a phase of putting these eh love notes wrapped up with my dads lunch.

She mixed up the lunches and gave my brother the one with the note. He was mortified. Even though i wound him up about it, he was kind enough to spare me the details contained in the note.

Strapped two fireworks to my skateboard to propel myself down the street when I was 11. Two grazed knees and a burst eardrum later I learned I'd never work for NASA. The Skateboard was last seen over Roswell, New Mexico.

Woke up in my bed late at night after a heavy drinking session a few hours previous to what I taught at first was someone pushing me but after a while I came to and realized I was being punched fairly hard. When I finally managed to adjust my sight I saw that it was my brother repeatedly hitting me.

In my confused state I had no idea what was going on, I asked him why was he doing it and he came back a minute later and threw the duvet from his bed at me and said that the next time I want to take a piss I should do it in the toilet instead of on him when he is sleeping.

===============================================

On another occasion, it was Christmas day and I was ten years old, the family had all gone to bed except myself. I seen my parents and other older relatives drinking brandy and other drinks earlier in the evening and I taught I'd have a taste of the brandy to see what all the fuss was about.

I drank it raw and didn't like the taste of it but I said I'd try it again as I might get use to it. I kept on drinking it in the hope that the bad taste would go away and before I knew it I had drank quite a bit out of it. When I had stopped there was only about 20% left, while before I had started it was well over three quarters full.

I went to bed and got up the next morning to an unexpected scene. The back door was left open all night, most of the downstairs windows were open, the Christmas tree was on the floor with a hole in it, the turkey and ham that was left over was on the counter with teeth marks in each of the meat, there was sick over most parts of the kitchen and the television was still on with the channel on BabeStation.

The hole in the tree most likely came from me sticking my head in it because there was bits of tree stuck in my hair and on my pillow. Best of all I was not the first one to be blamed for all the mess. Great Christmas indeed.

Well I've just realised why I had that pain in my stomach all day.

There's vomit in my bathroom and I won't be cleaning it. :mad:

So living in Dublin most would cycle to work.

Woke up a few months back during the summer (thank god) weather was great, ones again late for work.

Got my shirt, shoes, pants, packed in the back pretty tired got my cycling gear on. Outside the door (there is a primary school) half way to work total of 4k through busy traffic only to realise it was colder then normal. Look down here I am with no shorts, just a pair of boxers.. loose 1s at that..

Must have been the fastest cycle to work I have ever done. Didnt know what was going through my head totally forgot about the pants in my bag :O

Now its always the phone, keys, wallet pants check leaving the house

Homemade flaming arrows don't work too well.

Another lesson I learned is that if you are throwing a molitov cocktail, make sure the rag is stuffed in really tight before launch.
