What's the stupidest thing you've done?

Actually, it seemed pretty smart to me, too. My husband and daughter nearly died laughing - I seem to remember remarks like, "This has to be the stupidest thing you've ever done!!"

I guess the funniest part was trying to carry the heavy, awkward cinderblocks in the nasty water.

Maybe more stupid (total stupid) was later when I decided I could paint newly installed crown molding in the sunroom better than the contractor. Here's the S-T-U-P-I-D part - I decided a redwood picnic table bench made perfect scaffolding so I was painting with a brush in one hand and a fresh can of oilbase paint in the other when I STUPIDLY stepped too far toward the end of the bench and fell, covering the whole room, a new tile floor, a couple of plants and myself with the sticky, smelly paint.

I broke my right ankle, went into shock, had to be taken to the ER by ambulance - all the while covered with paint that got on everything and everybody who tried to help me!

I've done some (too many!) "funny stupid" and "serious stupid" things in my life. The biggest "serious stupid" thing I ever did was sneak out of a hotel on a school band trip around midnight, with a girlfriend, and go to a bar. We were only 16 at the time. We met these guys and went back to their apartment withe them for beers! Nothing sexual happened at all -- they were gentlemen, and ended up walking us back to the hotel an hour or so later -- but I cringe when I think about it today. That is definitely the stupidest thing I have ever done. Those guys could have been total psychopaths for all my friend and I knew! We were so lucky it all turned out OK. Ugh.

Probably the funniest stupid thing I've done was pull quickly into a gas station on a really hot day and run in to buy a Coke. I was in such a rush I left the car in drive, so of course when I tried to restart it, the engine wouldn't turn over. I totally panicked and called a nearby relative as well as Triple A emergency services -- and then I noticed the gear shift. Luckily I was able to call both individuals in time, before they had left to come help! I felt so, SO stupid!

That made me laugh out loud, June_Bug! It sounds like something I myself would do.

I tried to post just this one word for my response to the question and it wouldn't allow me to because you have to post a minimum of 8 characters to submit a reply. That was a little embarrassing.

blowing a salad as if it was piping hot...

I went inside and prepaid $30 gasoline and then forgot to put the gas in and drove off. It was humiliating to go back and explain.

I locked the keys inside my car while it was running......had to call my husband to come with the spare key, no wonder he's my X. dumb dumb dumb!

Thought I was in love with someone and married him....Thank GOD thats over....it was bad!

Woke up before my alarm went off and glanced at the time. Just a few minutes to go, so I got up, showered, did my hair, makeup, drove all the way to work and noone was there. It wasnt Monday, it was Sunday!
