Dumbest thing you've ever done?

First week of high school I climbed up a set of folded up bleachers in the gym during PE then jumped off. I messed up my legs for two weeks, didn't break any bones but the shock of landing messed up the muscles something fierce.

When I was about 13 10 years ago, I gave a girl a scary face when she got off the bus she ran so fast she fell face in the ground, then she gets up and runs to her house, and I had no idea where she lived, 10 minutes later me and my friend were walking down the next block, which she lived on apparently, she stood on her porch with her father holding a baseball hat and yelled "there he is" and the dad yells come here motherfucker and starts chasing me 2 blocks before he got tired and then saw him 15 minutes later standing in a parking lot in his van, I saw him then ran like crazy home, he didnt see me

Probably not the dumbest thing but when I was 6 my friend and I tried to see how close you could get to a jumping cactus before it sticks. We tested it with our hands and it went about as well as you would expect.

We also used to jump off of his second floor onto a couch below. The floor around was concrete.

I was a pretty retarded kid.

When I was younger we got our first microwave and I spend the whole day microwaving things like a high-tech pyromaniac. I watched a CD turn into sparks, observed as bread turned into charcoal, and saw how paper...uh...stayed paper. With solid objects out of the way, I decided to microwave some water until it turned into steam. Not satisfied, I moved on to microwaving soda until it bubbled intensely. Playing scientist and curious about my "creation," I decided to taste it. I suppose my logic at the time, being as young as I was, was that since water cools you off then water can't ever be hot...or something like that.

The reason why doesn't really matter, because I immediately burned my tongue, dropping the boiling soda all over the floor as I recoiled. For about four days I had unbearable pain unless I kept an ice cube in my mouth, and I had trouble speaking for about two weeks. Even now, dentists note that I have unusual scarring on my tongue that I feign ignorance for. Actually, on reflection, I guess a burnt tongue could explain my high tolerance for spicy and sour foods.

Anyway, that's tied for an equally stupid idea around the same time where I dropped and watched water sizzle on a piping hot incandescent bulb. At a certain point the bulb literally exploded with a violent shatter which even today I'm surprised didn't manage to harm me.

When I was about 9 years old, I was self-conscious about my Brooke Shields brows yet was too young to get them waxed, so I tried to "trim" them with my mom's disposable razor and ended up shearing off half my eyebrows. I was lucky I didn't cut myself to ribbons.

The kicker? I did it the day before our school's Picture Day.

Wasting money on the college industrial complex. I didn't get too shafted like most but I most if it was pointless.

When I was like four or five, I was playing pretend outside while my dad worked. At the time he took one of the fleet vehicles from the company he owns home since he needed the Piperack to haul some tubing to redo our sprinkler system. Well, my dumbass found one of the elastic straps he had laying around and thought "Hmm... I wanna go bungee jumping today". So I hooked one end to the back belt loop of my pants and climbed onto the truck, hooking the other end to the top of the Piperack. After giving it a tug to make sure I'll bounce, I jumped off.

It took my dad about five minutes to save me, mainly because it took four and a half minutes to stop laughing at his son who had just given himself an atomic wedgie. On the bright side, I learned truly how well made wrangler jeans were, the belt loop didn't tear, nor did the pants show any signs of damage. My balls and pride however...

Below is the strap in question:

1) drove my Nissan Note at 135mph on the motorway. At 4am, drunk. And I jerked off while I was doing it.

The adrenaline was intense, and I had to sit in the car for 10 minutes to cool down when I got home. Had I been caught, that would have been game over - in many ways.
 
Did a lot of stupid shit................most recent one had to be not buying GME at $10 and selling at $400

I have two, the lighthearted “haha I was such a dumbass” and the “god I was dumb and an asshole” events.

Lighthearted - when I was a complete newbie at smoking pot, I smoked an entire gram joint of Blue Dream on my own, greened out and had an awful night completely convinced my entire life up to this point was a fabrication I had conjured as a coping mechanism and the real me was in a mental institution hallucinating what I thought my life was. Friends thought it was hilarious seeing me freak out, eventually I did too but that was terrifying and I was a dumbass thinking I could chief down that much weed as a newcomer

serious - I was a little thief when I was a teenager. Stole from pretty much everyone except family and close friends. As expected, ended up getting caught stealing eventually and betrayed the trust and severely disappointing quite a few people. Took me ages to earn back a solid reputation. Thief me was a low point in my life and one of the dumbest moments
