Stupid Stuff People Do

I remember I had a friend who decided to set his hand on fire just to piss the teacher off. So he poured some rubbing alcohol on his hand, lit it with a bunsen burner, and showed it to the teacher. She fainted. My friend and the teacher were both sent to the hospital.

Send in your accounts of stupid stuff!

Decided to go swimming with a friend one nice summer day at the basin in Launceston. Anyhow, it turned out that it was in flood. So much flood that it was covering the pool in more than a metre of water. The pool can be seen in this image:

,

That should give you an idea of how flooded it was. But being young and stupid we went, "Oh bugger it, we'll just wade around the edge of the pool." The pool has metal guard rails that we were following with out feet. Thing was the water was so damn murky we couldn't see more than about 2 inches below the surface. And there was a huge current that was sweeping the sunken pool into a nice swirling frenzy. So whenever you had to leave contact with the guardrail (which was submerged) you were being pulled off the walk ways and around in the direction of the current. Eventually we came back across the middle 'catwalk' section, with the shallow kiddies section of the right, with the guard rail on that side and the deep pool on our left. I was in the lead, and must have lost contact with the rail, because I took a step and then opened my eyes. I'm thinking "Its all brown, and theres bubbles and -SHIT!" I apparently came back to the surface like a goddamn Polaris missile. My friend had watched me suddenly disappear from sight only to reappear a second later. We finished our crossing and returned to the warm grass area where we both proceeded to realise how fucking stupid we had been.

You did that? And you're already out of the hospital? You have a tough skin.

Well I used to run track along with playing Foot-Ball(Of course how was I to know that half of them in that Bar played Rugby!)

Anyway it WAS intresting but I emerged relativly unscathed(Everything intact and black eyes fade after awhile

)

However the $50 Bet was more than enough compesation

Espcilly when I made the bet with six people...

At the tender age of 4 or so, I unbent a paperclip and stuck both ends into an electical socket. It was a shocking experience to say the least, sparks flew everywhere and I got tossed across the room. It probably explains why I grew up into a weirdo for lack of better words.

ROFLMAO

When I was 6 I jumped down the stairs and landed halfway down, rolling down, finally stopping with my head on a radiator. Had to get staples in my head.

I once sat on a needle!

I en up doing a lot of dumb things because of my short attention span. Once, I was on vacation at some crater in Arizona, and I walked into the middle of a picture being taken by someone.

Nothing as dumb as other people. Perhaps I don't remember when I was young, or I'm just not the foolish type.

Perhaps you did something so incredibly stupid and traumatic that it erased all your memories of doing it

When I was about 7 I sprinted head first into a wall.... That was when my parents realised I may need glasses.

Bicycle related mayhem;

Ran over and killed a raccoon, several squirrels, had a bird fly through my wheel. I was biking with my GF once when I ran over and killed one of those squirrels, she was not happy with that, but she got over it. Those damn things run across the bike path, stop, run back, and then they keep running back and forth so the only way to avoid them is to come to a complete stop. I've had a ton of bike related injuries but I don't consider them stupid, even the time I hopped onto and fell off a picnic table.

Well, neither do I. The only one I regard as embarassingly stupid is this:

I was riding down the hill when, fast passing over several fallen tree branches, lost equilibrium . But I didn't fell of the bike. I got stuck between the saddle and the rear wheel, while still holding the grips. Now, I didn't reach the brakes, and my fragile parts were getting in contact with fast spinning rubber.

While the bike was gaining speed, I thought more and more of the advantages of being eunuc.

Luckily, I got away. There was a curve, and I just went forward and ran into several bushes which managed to stop me.

After carefully checking myself, I reached the conclusion everything was working properly

I think I've already told you about the time I accidentally tried to slice and apple while holding the knife backwards. I recently did it again, this time with a sharper knife and a potato.

Is that directed to me or Raxmei

I can think. Honest

All in general Olrik. I know you guys can think, but there are times when you don't. This is proof positive.

Yes. you see, men are easily distracted, such as when they see beautiful women in the streets, which causes them to burble unintelligible nonsense and walk into lamp posts.

Yeah, at our last semi formal, one of the kids tried to strip one of the Vice-principals who was there. She was NOT amused.
