What's the most hilariously stupid thing you've seen someone do?

Get off your horse. Half of Ireland is driving around stoned ffs. I don't do it anymore myself but I've covered thousands and thousands of miles in every type of vehicle whilst mildly stoned at least.
You sure you're young?!

Half of Ireland? 2 million people driving around high as a kite? Is that a fact. You wouldnt hop in a car after a few drinks so a few joints should be no different!

Was parked up in a carpark in Katherine, Australia, having a bite to eat and deciding where to head onto next, when I saw an American couple, who had rented the biggest Britz Campervan they could find just down the street a few minutes earlier, barrel into the carpark at full speed, even though the carpark had one of those 7' high barriers designed to stop anything bigger than a car from doing exactly that. Cue the screeching of tearing metal as the campervan roof slowly but surely peeled back like a sardine tin, while the guy kept gunning the engine and ploughing forward, not able to figure out what was stopping him from making progress, and blissfully unaware of all that extra sunlight pouring in on top of him...

Of course it is...
Is that the best retort you could come up with?!
You knew well I was using a turn of phrase.
What's on your mind sweet cheeks? Want to hug it out?

Nice stealth edit btw.

Hop in your car and go for a spin!

Not a stealth edit, I realized my mistake and edited straight after.

If you click on the arrow in the quote it should take you there. It wasn't a great thread, to be honest.

A few of us had just finished a nice walk up Ben Nevis in Scotland at around 4pm one October. The light of day was just beginning to fade, as we headed for a pint.

We passed an American wearing a t shirt, bermuda shorts, trainers, and a baseball hat. He was in his early forties. He was starting out the climb with his family. They were dressed for the summer, they had no proper gear, and the guy had small children and his elderly mother in tow. We tried to warn him off politely, telling him that it was quite cold higher up and that it was about to get dark.

He just smiled and said; "If we make it, we make it."

What a fool.

One of the stupidiest things I've ever done anyway, i was down the country for a few days a couple of years ago and decided to bring the young feller to sunday mass. i walked around at the bottom as all the chairs were full. the young lad started acting up (as they do) so i sez if you dont stop we're going out.

he kept it up so i said thats it we're going out and opened the door beside me and stepped into........ the confessional box .true story i still cringe remembering the people beside me sniggering

An old housemate was putting on his washing one night and went to put an open block of white cheddar into the machine instead of washing powder. Luckily I pointed it out.

You're lucky your son didn't walk into it, the priest might have ran away with him

Most hilariously stupid thing? I did it myself, and it was enjoyed by others.

Out on the lash on the friday night, but the big footy match on tv on saturday at 12.45.

So down we go, still half cut, and straight into more pints. Game on, into the second half, my team losing at home, one nil. Gettin fairly well on (again) at this stage, when my team equalise.

So the pub erupts, like I said i'm practically drunk again, and hadn't even seen the goal. So I head up to the bar for another pint, gander up at the telly, and watch the goal in the replay, but in my drunken mind we've just gone and scored two goals in less than thirty seconds. Obviously by the time of the replay, the pub had quietened down again as if nothing had happened. Then out of the blue, me:

"yessss!! Get in!!!! Get the fcukkk innn!!!!"

Que the whole bar turning round to the gob****e celebrating a goal from a replay 30 seconds late, man that was embarrassing

I shared a place in Sydney with a fella who had never done a wash for himself. He only went and used Fairy feckin' liquid in our top loading washing machine! 'Whats the difference' he asked, as five of us waded through the kitchen of our apartment. Luckily, there was nobody living below us, and we ended up with the cleanest Lino floor, and feet, in Australia. Bubbles out the door at one point.

Was funny at the time though.

A guy I know who was both drunk and stoned at my friend's apartment, opened the balcony door, got up on the rail and said "Lads, lads, look!... I can fly!" and jumped. Broke a leg for his trouble.

Once put a poker into the fire for 2 or 3 minutes & then put it on my foot to see if it was hot......it was, I was a pretty thick 12yo

It was my washing machine. Otherwise I might have let the experiment run.

I've seen it done as a prank with a full bottle and a dishwasher at a party. Waist deep foam party downstairs and a very unhappy house owner.

Few weeks back, left the cinema and it was pelting down. Waited for what must have been a half hour or more for a bus. Arrived home soaked to the bone and just as I was putting the key in the door, noticed my car was gone! 'Thieving bastards' I thought.. for about two seconds, until the penny dropped. I'd driven into town.

Used to work in the IFSC, and the office had an underground car park with fairly parking spaces. Use of the car park was limited to partners and clients during business hours, but outside of office hours anyone working in the building could use it.

One evening one of the managers was due to go on a conference call with a US team at 8pm. He'd parked on New Wapping St during the day, but went out sometime after 6 and moved the car into the underground.

The call ran later than expected, and it was close to 11pm when he was leaving the office. Night-brain kicked in, and he headed up to Wapping St and couldn't find his car. There was some shattered glass on the road (in fairness, there nearly always is up there) and so he assumed the car had been stolen. He rang Store St station and reported the car stolen, and spent about an hour at the scene firstly waiting for the guards, and then giving his "version" of events, before finally getting a taxi home to Blackrock.

The next morning he was telling everyone how some scumbag had stolen his beloved GTI, when he got a call from security asking him to remove his car from the underground.

Listening to him ringing Store St station to explain (with an audience in the office) was one of the funnier moments from my working life.

What's the most hilariously stupid thing you've seen someone do?
