Dumbest thing you've ever done?

When I was a teenager I was out camping with some buddies. Someone decided to toss a softball sized rock into the fire. About 3 hours, and 12 beers later I got the bright idea to pull the rock out and throw in into the nearby creek. I figured it would do nothing but create a bunch of steam and bubbles. Nope, the damn thing exploded instantly pelting myself, and another one of my buddies with hot shrapnel. Several pieces also managed to find their way onto, or clean through a few tents leaving holes in them. That old saying that being stupid should hurt definitely applies under the right circumstances.

The dumbest thing I have ever done in my life was driving drunk. I'm not talking a little buzzed I'm talking full on wasted. Me and some friends were at a bar and the time came to pick a designated driver. The most sober of us was this nervous guy who was unsure about his driving skills so I volunteered. I had had at least two fish bowls and a few beers and I drove with three other people in the car with me. By some miracle I managed to drive everyone home safe and sound. It was the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life just because I put three other peoples lives at risk because i didn't have the balls to tell someone else he was more capable to drive then me. I am ashamed of that night and how much of a wuss and an idiot I was to not tell the sober guy he had to drive us.

Started doing drugs as an early teen and totally disregarded everything about school and such.
Now I can hardly remember the first half of my life. Been doing alright the last couple of years, but it's been harder than it had to

I got at least two that haunt my just before sleep thoughts.

First one, I tried running across the tops of desks in high school and ended up falling after one tipped over. Landed on the desk edge and broke a rib.

Then this one time at Band class in middle school I cleared my spit valve from my trumpet and got it on the crotch of my pants. Was known as the kid that pissed himself in band class. Also the smell of old spit didn't help things :I

I am not a very smart person.

When I was a kid (4 - 6), I used to play with the friendly old man who lived in our neighborhood. He turned out to be a pedophile. Anyway, I don't think he ever did anything to me, but I could be repressing shit and thats why I'm fucked up. But I sure as hell don't want to dig that up

I gave myself a concussion by slipping in the snow at school

I ran face first into a pole and that's how I got my first black eye.

I went on omegal as a dumb younger teen and oh boy do I have regrets



There's more dumb shit in my life but hey

I bought a papa roach album once, so don't beat yourself over it.

Also for some reason when I was a sprout, I'd always manage to get a belt loop stuck on a door handle.

Once got face fisted by a kick ball so hard I lost my front teeth (baby teeth, thank Christ)

Also I was an "ADHD" kid so I was hopped on so much Adderall that I couldn't eat breakfast. So I'd eat paper towel and drink water to make it through the morning till lunch time on bathroom breaks.

When I was a smol tard, I watched The Simpsons Movie multiple times on ITunes. Well... one day, I thought it would be a smart idea to imitate the scene in which Bart rides his skateboard across Springfield naked. What I ended up doing instead was run around my yard with my butt and wee-wee hanging out like a dumbass while stimming the naked Bart theme.

...Autism is one hell off a drug,

As baby Pickle Dick, I put shampoo on my pickle for reasons I do not remember (I think I was taking a bath, so maybe I was trying to clean it?)

I remember it burning so hard I put myself a band-aid over it. The scar is still there to this day.

I fell for a blatant PS5 Craigslist scam. Possibly the dumbest thing I ever did. But on a lighter note, I finally snagged one for my husband today, so it's all good.

When I was around 7 or 8, some kid in my neighborhood tried to take my baseball bat from one of my friends because he wanted to hit next. I thought that the ONLY way to stop him was to throw a ball at him. It hit him in the back of the head and the kid ran off and told his mom about it. He never came back to play with my friends whenever I was with them.
I still have no idea what I was thinking.
 
The Kennedy Space Center has this little area where its supposed to be like the International Space Station, little chambers. I thought it was a bit crazy how little room it had, but that's how it is on submarines, you know?

In a moment of pure retardation I crawled into the thing thinking it was going to have little rooms inside, like the ISS. At some point inside I see it just loops back out, and turn back around and come out by a Black woman and her kids. I then realized that it was a children's thing, and said to the Black lady, who didn't seem the least bit fazed, that I thought it would have something inside. Like, an actual display.

Only after I left the place did I realize how retarded I was that I took a children's crawling tunnel for an adult display. I mean, in my defense, I didn't think it had clear signage up specifying that, but what the fuck was I thinking, that they'd have a display for adults that would involve crawling around? There were no kids in it at the time, thank god.

It made perfect sense in my head at the time but now I remember it and want to die.
