Ever done anything really stupid?

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

Put my number on adverts

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?

Young Blood · 14-10-2015 07:19PM

I posted a tweet I soon regretted then deleted it.

Come on now con manx1 is that really the most stupidest thing you have ever done!

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

Got married.

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.

Darwin Award candidate ? Well if you keep it up you'll at least get a dishonorable mention -

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

MilesMorales1 · 14-10-2015 08:58PM

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.!

Ever done anything really stupid?
