Dumb things you have done

[Incog Neato]

Don't be embarassed! Share some of your experiences where you may have went against common sense! XD

Here's one of mine:

- One week at my old work place which was a retail store, there was absolutely POSITIVELY nothing to do. So, one day, genius nunuu decided to bring MANGA to work to read. >_> ('Twas the Fire Emblem 4-KOMA books. ^^) I worked in the office part of the place so I was able to sit down and read.

Minutes later, the supervisor came up to me and asked me to put the books away. XD

I could fill pages of this thread by myself. There's nothing I want to admit to right now but if a good story comes to mind I'll be back... maybe.

When I was younger, I got caught skateboarding on the roof of this building that had curved walls. There were about five of us skating, but it was only me and another friend that went up to the roof. It was during business hours, but the roof was so cool I had to skate it!

A little while into the session a woman who worked there spotted us. She demanded we come down, and after that she took us inside and called the Police. After a lecture, we were taken home in the Police car, and I was in trouble.

I think I was about 11 or 12 years old at the time, and I didn't want to run when the lady saw us. It was an adventurous childhood.

When I was younger, I was dating this chick. Eh... story short, now I'm not.

...

...

...

I was caught by her mom; I was hiding out in the cellar, because she came home earlier than expected. XD Either way, she was bad news for me, so getting my dumb ass caught was a good thing. Very manipulative, deceitful (the kind of chick who hid her face everytime she lied -- or make that, everytime she spoke) and disgusting. We'd dated on-and-off since (which is another dumb thing we did) and stopped two-three years ago. What happened? I caught her cheating on me with a lesbian. The lesbian's mom accused me of stalking my ex, had a bitchfit, and told me to take a hike without letting me get one word in. Well, I wonder if she had ever found out that her daughter is a lesbian... XD

[Grave]

Ooh, getting caught by moms reminds me of a fun one. Back in high school I once had to hide in a girlfriend's closet, completely naked, while her mother entered the room. That was a good feeling. Maybe that wouldn't necessarily qualify as a dumb thing I've done, but the girl certainly would! Oooh.

[Gamemusicfreak]

Great thread! Here's another one:

Frozen lake, I thought it would be cool to slide around on it, so I went pretty far out. Then the ice started to crack. I got really scared, but I walked back to land slowly, and made it without falling in.

XD You have no idea how funny that is. Great story, too! Heh... I was hiding out following a truth or dare session with my ex. Needless to say, the objects used in said game were found by the mom, which is how she knew someone was around. Plus, my ex being the terrible compulsive liar that she is, stupidly gave away my hiding spot.

[DoubleD64]

Well, here's one for ya:

I was about 10 and I really hated going to school (who doesn't at that age). I got bored & started playing with my change in my mouth & I accidentally swallowed a quarter!

But here's the thing...... Yeah, my eyes went wide open with my brain screaming "OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I DO!?", my teacher looked at me and asked what's wrong. I told her I swallowed a quarter and she laughed as if I just told her a joke, only I wasn't laughing.

Amazing what boredom can really do to you when you're just a kid.

Ha Ha I have been in that situation a few times. Its damn terrifying.

I think I pretty much do or say something dumb every other week. :'D

Anyways, one of the greater dumber things I did:

Back in college, during 2nd year I had a minor of sculpture. We were learning how to make reliefs in fiber glass. Anyways, after finishing up with with the actual assignment I had a lot of materials left over. So one fine morning, I decided to head over to the studio before time and experiment away, while no one else was there (though one of my other batch friends did drop by while I was 'experimenting')! XD Now with fiber glass one has to be really careful when adding in the two fixatives/chemicals (I've forgotten the exact names by now). A bit of dispropotion and one could have a smoking thing on their hands. I, though, was highly excited that morning and just dumped in generous propotions of everything (with flowers! extra inventiveness!) and BOOM! The thing blew up and the table caught fire!

...Erm, and so I fled (with the other friend). X'D And went and lounged in the main courtyard as if we hadn't done anything (well he hadn't but...). When we returned to the studio about half an hour later, the fire had just... died out by itself and the table was a blackened relic. And then the whole class got chewed out for irresponsible behaviour. (I don't think many realized I was behind that grand show. XD No one would believe it!)


My dumb stories aren't very exciting like you guys' (which were very fun to read!). They're truly... dumb.

But wow.. DoubleD64! You're still living after that?!

[DoubleD64]

Yup.

Looking back at it every now and then makes me just laugh at it.

[Incog Neato]

Yakra: I loved how you guys ran away. ^^;;;;;;;

wyrdwad: Yeah, I'm actually sort of careful when I talk or whine about work. You'll notice that I never really mention names or even the place I work at. ^^ 'Course, you're in a more volatile situation because you have shuper shecret knowledge of the products the clients have and have yet to release and stuff.

Anyway, here's another dorky moment from me:

Back in grade 5, I think the teacher and some other classmates were talking about people stealing things from a store and such. I think it was something on the news the night before. I can't remember but I do know it wasn't a class discussion or anything.

Now I was able to distinguish fantasy and reality just fine and dandy back then ... at least I'd like to believe so! However, that was the one day that I made people aware I had a crazy brain!

What happened? Well, I asked the teacher why the store didn't just use a forcefield to keep thieves out. >_>

He was like, "A what?" And then a classmate said something like, "Forcefields don't even exist!"

=_=;;

[FM-77AV]

A force field would also keep customers out. And the workers.

I just did a pretty stupid thing. You know those things where you put forks and stuff to dry after you've washed them?

Well, I was reaching for a fork in there. I grabbed it, but then I then let it go, and reached for another one, thinking - that one's closer (we're talking five centimeters here - or less). Then I caught myself thinking what-the-hell did I just do? Sure, it WAS closer, but I had already grabbed the one farther away - and what does a couple of centimeters matter anyway? It was stupid.

Who here has gone around their house over 10 times checking every room, looking for their glasses, only to finally realize you were wearing the damn things.. I have done that many many times.

[FM-77AV]

I don't wear glasses, but I have at least twice been looking for something I have been holding in my hand.

[jet16]

When I was around 8 years old, my brother and I decided we would have a fun time throwing rocks at each other in a little 'war'. These aren't pebbles that I am talking about. At one point, my brother nailed me in the head and I got a gash there. Blood came out at an alarming speed for such a wound that was rather small. Needless to say, I never did that again.

I have extremely horrible short-term memory so, while I'm not usually looking for my glasses, I'm looking for other things. -___-

However, I don't think I've ever had the issue of suddenly discovering that I was wearing my glasses all that time. ^^;;;

That used to happen to me all the time! Until one day, I was searching for them and couldn't find them anywhere, even though I could have sworn they were right next to me. And then I lifted my foot and er... found them. :'D End of that pair!

I do that now with my brushes! Search around madly for hours and hours and in the end it turns out I was holding it in my hand. Everyone in the house joins in too! (And no one thinks to look at my hand! X'D)

And...

Perhaps the force field could have been turned on after the shop hours? X'D Or had special identification-people barring feature that didn't let people who had dangerous objects on them in?

[Ascended Mermaid]

Heh, that always happens to me with my comb... except now, I *really* can't find the damn thing! I'd search and search, only to find out it was right in my pocket. XD It's not in my pocket now. I checked my other pants, but no luck. I wonder where the hell it went... my moppy head needs a good firm brush!

Yakra: I dunno, you have some good stories there! XD Chemical fires? Fleeing the scene of the crime? Well done, my friend.

[Justin]

Bah I did it again this morning, but this time with my keys. I looked all over for them, and I had already grabbed them and put them in my hoodie.
