The most stupid thing you have ever done

[pallas artemis]

Last night as I was walking past the door, I thought I saw snow flakes. This wouldn't be quite that weird except that it was like 75ish degrees F. I stood there thinking I had finally completely cracked up before I realized that it was really pale colored leaves falling from the tree out front. The girl working with me asked what was wrong and as I told her I started laghing so hard I was almost crying!
This is probably not the stupidest thing I've ever done but it is the most recent example

I'm beginning to feel like maybe no one can beat that one and I should just reconcile myself to being one of the biggest dopes in the world.
On the other hand, I always tell people to find something they're good at and stick with it! Maybe it's a starting place for something good.

I don't know if this qualifies as stupid but here it is:

The other day I was in the parking lot of the local grocery store and as I was pulling up the aisle I saw that a woman was getting into her car to leave so I stopped and put my left turn signal on. I was going to park in that spot when she pulled out.

After about five or maybe ten seconds a very big red truck on those big
monster wheels pulled up behind me and honked his horn, gunned his engine and aggressively pulled out and passed me on the left and almost hit the poor woman backing out of the parking spot.
As he passed me he threw his hand up in the air. I do not know whether or not he was making a rude gesture.

He pulled around the aisle of cars and ended up parking about six cars down from me. (Where he was before he got all impatient.) Emily was with me at the time and we got out of the car and walked over to the man. The parking lot was quite crowded and there were people everywhere.

I never got closer that ten feet to this guy and I asked him in a calm voice "May I ask you a question sir?" He looked up and said gruffly "What?"
I said "Is there a problem with me stopping and putting my turn signal on to pull in to a parking slot?"
He then yelled quite loudly so that all of the folks in the parking lot could hear "Yes! You were holding up traffic. You're like all women too fat and lazy to walk!"

My blood boiled at this statement but as I had my daughter with me I did not want to get into an altercation with this man in front of her so I pointedly looked at his license plate number. He said "What are you gonna do call the cops and tell them I called you fat and lazy?"

Well I was very angry by this behavior but the idiot actually had a point. What was I going to do call the police and say he was mean to me? So after we got what we came to the store for. I got Emily back out to the car and buckled in.
Then I went back to the front of the store and picked up a large stack of these little plastic baskets that you carry around the store to put your groceries in.
I went to his car and put them on the ground all the way around his car. so that he would have no choice but to pick them up unless he wanted to drive off and mess up the paint job on his pretty truck.

When I went back to my car he was standing there with his cell phone in his hand and said "I saw what you did" I looked at him and said "Oh I am far to lazy to have done that!"

Well the guy called the police and with in 1/2 hour they showed up at my house. I told the officer what I had done and why. I also told him that I did not break any laws or harm his vehicle in any way so there wasn't anything he could do.

The officer said that we were both acting childishly but I disagree. I chose an non-violent form of retaliation against the un-provoked verbal abuse being hurled at me by this man.

Stupid? Maybe but I guess it is really just a matter of opinion.

i'm always saying the wrong things at the wrong time. ALWAYS.

[choki]

oooh that is not very nice of a guy to do that...so "un-gentlemanly"

Haha I'm not sure if the story below is considered stupid but that is definitely one of the worst day in my life.

A beach outing with classmates. A perfect sunny day. Too hot in fact so we ended up playing with the ice and water we bought for the picnic. Then some headed to the beach for a game of beach volleyball. I was happily eating my lollipop when I decided to watch them playing up close. So I took of my scandals and placed them by a bench, and walked down the beach. At this point of time, they hit the volleyball far away and helping them, I went to retrieve the ball alongside with my pal. I was behind her, following quite closely behind. (And this is the 1st stupid mistake) I always suspect this friend of mine having the world's possible short attention span and that day proved it. She saw a couple of my friends swimming in the sea and she glady joined them. And so she threw the ball behind which landed right on my face. Ok, so now, I dropped my lollipop and got sand in my eyes. I can't even open my eyes, let alone to see where I am heading. I went to the nearest water source - the sea, but eyes and saltwater don't mix well. This time, I called out of my friend but she didn't respond as she was having fun in the sea. So I struggled my way back to the picnic area and ooops I can't see where I left my scandals. (2nd mistake - no scandals) So I walked across the sharp squarish rocks barefooted. And there I called for my friends' help and asked for water to wash the sand off my eyes and face. (3rd mistake - wasting precious water) There is no more clean water left due to the water war we had earlier on. So I basically washed my eyes with what was left of the ice we had. Finally I can see but my eyes still hurts. So I went back to retrieve my scandal and went down to the beach to tell my friend off. (4th mistake - confronting the girl) She didn't realise she hit me with the ball and dragged me down to the sea. So I was soaked from head to toe without any clean, dry set of clothes. Then after the so-called swim, I decided to cycle and it might blow my clothes dry. Cycling faster and faster to let the cool breeze blow me dry. Then I did a stupid thing here. (5th mistake - trying to show off) I let go off the handle telling my fellow mate I can balance with one hand. And haha, I crashed my bicycle, scrapped both my knees and an elbow. Unable to cycle anymore because I was bleeding like hell, I slowly pushed the bicycle back to the kiosk and returned to the picnic area where my red-cross friends cleaned my wounds.
So at the end of the day, I went home in wet clothes with several blood stains of my khaki, sleeves and a few injuries.

Well done, Alice I - that story made me laugh so hard, I nearly peed my pants, lol.

And choki, you really had a bad day, didn't you?

[choki]

Yup, it happened somewhere in Year 2000. I got a lot of scars from that year though...3 of them faintly visible still.

The most stupid thing i ever did is taking the wrong train when i was a kid..
mom and i were going to another city to shop and i were going to lock my bike and mom went in to the station befor me to by tickits and i were supposed to come after..
Well the only problem was that day everyone seemed to have the same cloths as my mom and i thougt i saw her enter the train that just hade come in so i ran after..
when the train left the station with me abord.. noticing i hade made a mistake... i began to cry and as the train begun to catch speed i saw my mother standing at the station screaming her lungs out after me..
Lucky for me the staf on the train quiklly phoned to the station were my mom were and told them that they would let me of at the next station..
My Poor mom hade to take a cab to get to that station just to pick me up.. and because the cabdriver hade children of his own and knew how she felt.. well he refused to get paid and said that to se that i was safe were paiment enough..
So i were lucky in a way.. and we did go to that shoping trip aftewards, but that time we took the bus..
But i´m still edgy when i´m travelling by train..

Thats the most stupid thing i ever done and i were about 9 when i did it..

stupidest thing I've ever done: falling in love with an idiot named Marc.

smartest thing I've ever done: not marrying him

[platinumstepper]

I would have to say the stupidest thing i ever did was, i was in the car with my friend and we were at a gas station and across the street was a hardware store and she ran inside to pay for gas and i was looking at the store and i saw a man in the window looking over my way and he wasnt moving just standing there staring at me i got freaked out and told my friend what the man was doing she looked over there and started laughing and i said why are you laughing she said that man is a cardboard advertisment.

[Devinci]

Well, this wasn't the stupidest thing I ever did...but it was pretty awkward.

So, I was talking to an aquantance of mine about contacts. And I started ranting about how daily disposable contacts are the laziest thing I'd ever heard of....and, yeah, of course...she used daily disposables...It was like a cheap movie scene. I just...laughed and said "well...uhhh.....guess I'm a jackass!....heh"

Oh, and there was that time I held up a police station....but that's another story

[Athena Appleton]

platinum: ahhahahahaahahahahahahaha!!!! funny!

mainly that funny because it totally sounds like something I would do.

[Dark_Phoenix]

i was in the city mall, walking down the end to my bus stop, and i heard someones phone ringing.
i kept walking and noticed the person who's phone was ringing had the same ringtone as me, interesting, but i thought nothing of it.
the phone still hadnt been answered by this time, and i was begining to get annoyed. i was thinking, who is the idiotic person not answering their phone?!
it was only after the phone had stopped ringing, that i reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone to find i was the idiot not answering her phone.[/quote]
