    Whats the stupidest thing you have done?

    Mine was recently,needed to get a few hundred Euros out of my bank account to pay a bill.Had my bank card in my hand in the morning,I put it down to put my shoes on and when I had my shoes on I went to pick it up again.The only thing it wasent there:confused:

    I had no I.D. to get money out of the bank any other way and I search the whole bedroom high and low for it.No luck.

    Went to college that day,went about my usual business.When I came home I took my shoes off and there was the card in my shoe:o

    Was late paying the bill,but I never told anyone where the card was.

    start a thread with a tag line that marks one down as an absolute lowlife;)

    Happened when I was 19, a good few years ago.
    Picture this …… restaurant in Sligo town (
    have no recollection of how I ended up in Sligo never been there since , last I remember I was in a pub in Galway?.) , beautiful sunny morning , sun is beaming in through the plate glass front .
    It’s the morning after an all night/day/night session, compulsory full irish breakfast has just been consumed , and apart from a minor hangover things are looking good. I decide to leave, enjoy the sun and get some beer for return journey to Dublin , others are finishing up.
    I’ll show these country bumpkins how its done, on with the Ray Bans and saunter nonchalantly (had to look up this word to set the scene )towards the exit.
    ……..SMACK! …..What the fck?,……stunned…..…SMACK! ….what the?.......dazed….takes a while….. but finally it dawns on me …….”Oh sh!t”. I had just walked into a glass door …..not once ……but frigging TWICE.
    Panic ensues as I try to find the handle , redfaced I leg it out of the restaurant to gales of laughter from kids , old folks ,cats, dogs, pigeons and assorted locals egged on by my so called mates ……..B@stards!.
    Sh!ts still bring it up every chance they get.

    In other words you walked into a glass door

    Meh, it happens quiet alot.

    I could never beat a woman.

    The most embarassing thing I've ever done can never be uttered out loud. It makes me go all red and shamed.

    Favourite amongst friends, I still hear about it a year later (bear in mind we are all engineers so they get kicks out of these stories of mechanical ineptitude):

    Decided to make a toasted cheese sandwich, but there was only grated cheese left. The toaster we have is a Dualit with 2 regular toast slots and a kind of grill where you can slot in something like a sandwich.

    I realised that the clamping force from the removable sandwich cage wasn't enough to keep the grated cheese from falling out, so I decided that a genius idea was to turn the toaster on its side.

    Anyway, I left it on setting 2 (medium brown - simpsons, anyone?) and went off to watch TV. A minute or two later I got a fierce whiff of smoke and went into the kitchen to see thick black smoke billowing out of the side of the toaster. I quickly turned it back over and saw that the toasted bread and melted cheese has worked themselves around the entire toaster, fusing themselves to every surface.

    A friend managed to take the toaster apart when he was over and scraped (rather chiseled) off the crud.

    That's about it so far, I'm sure I'll top that.

    one time i was in the car with me mammy and i wanted to light a smoke but had no lighter, so i was trying to get the car lighter to work, it wasn't working or going red, so i was holding it down with my finger, hoping to get it to heat up. and then, in what felt like slow motion, i lifted up my thumb and jammed it into the fuppin lighter, well, the feckin noise of my flesh burnin, and the smell was enough to set the mammy off, "you fu€king gobsh!te" i believe was what she said. funny, but so fuppin sore.

    Took drugs offered by a stranger without asking what they were. So instead of getting that extra boost, I K-Holed in a cab.

    Done and said many a silly thang
    But amoung my super powers is the 'no shame' barrier
    So it usually ends up with others having better stories of me than anything - Terry?

    Sorry just thought of a doosey
    Was in an interview for job - head of dept turns around to me after long senario question 'so who you gonna call?'
    Well, how could you not answer 'Ghostbusters'
    Not impressed were their expressions, but still got 2nd interview and was offered the job

    I was telling a story in the pub a while ago, just at a dramatic bit I made a dramatic motion with my hand and swept about 4 full pints off the table.

    Wouldn't mind but I wasn't even drunk, we had just got there. I didn't know the people I was with too well either. Didn't go down too well as a first impression :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 924 ✭✭✭Elliemental


    I spent about an hour frantically searching for my glasses, i caught my reflection in the mirror and i'd pushed them up on top of my head.

    I also stumbled into a full length mirror while a bit drunk, and apologised to myself.

    I'm forever doing stupid things haha!

    Here are only a few that pop into my mind:

    When i was younger, around 14, I was lost in o'connell street outside the GPO, so I ring my mam to try to get directions to Henry street (remember I was young, I had no idea how close I was). So anyway, my mam asks me 'are you near the GPO?', I look around (was so young didn't really recognise where I was) and I answered back, 'No, I'm at the General Post office though.' :rolleyes:

    I once asked, 'Does coffee come from a seed or a nut?' weeks of sagging from that one!

    I once plonked myself on a chair at my riding stables, I didn't look at the chair, and turns out it was the rickety 3 legged chair that no one used. Anyway I fell, feet over my head into a pile of poo, and then continued to keep rolling (it was on a slope), everyone just burst out laughing, I didn't appreciate it really, the poo was fresh too.

    I always ask 'where are you?' whenever I call someone, even if I call their house phone!

    Me and my friend were sitting in my mates boat during a party, we were drunk of course. We were pretending that the boat was like a bar, as in we kept everyones drink and gave it to them when they 'ordered' (we were 16, give us a break haha!) Anyway, the more drunker we got, the more excited we got over the control of all the lads' drinks. Next thing we kow, the boat topples over when we were too vigourous running around it. We ended up stuck under the boat. Everyone's drink managed to survive, except for ours of course, and we had to get our parents to help to get us out! Last time we ever messed in a boat after that.

    Emmm that's some of the stupid thing, I'll probably remember more!

    I had to go to hospital before to get a piece of lego removed from my nose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    When I was younger, ate a full bar of soap in a hotel on holiday thinking it was white chocolate

    About 5, accidently called the police and implied my dad had killed my mom, then a few patrol cars turned up within half an hour demanding to see my mom (who was in bed after having my brother) "Well can you get her down please?" - weren't best pleased

    When I was about 7, emailed Zippo's Circus because I was going through a phase of wanting to be a clown - they rang later that day and duly offered me an audition (I'd forgot to mention my age)


    This February, trying my damned hardest to ski in New Hampshire, started sliding down backwards, had no idea how to stop and took out 4 experienced skiers before thudding over



    I'm sure I've got some better ones, I just can't think of them now :/
    Luckily I dont do as many stupid things now I'm a bit older..... yeahhh right

    It's not always 7up in the bottle. Several days in hospital for downing a sizeable amount of white spirits.
