Stupidity

[Devillishgirl]

Like Roxanne's thread on silliest things you've ever done, I want to know the most moronic thing you've ever done....something that you didn't use a scrap of common sense while doing.

Mine would be the time when I took a flaming shot(now mind you, I was already completely obliterated) and listened to my friends who said NOT to blow the damn thing out. You can imagine a flaming shot of everclear doesn't go down very well. One sip and I was spitting it out but my long hair got in the way. Within seconds my hair, my clothes and most of my body were on fire. Even worse...I had to put myself out......the 30some people in the room just stood there and stared "HOLY SHIT MEGHAN'S ON FIRE!"

So spill it people....what did you do?

Would have to be the time I lived in the Keys. We were so happy and we had the best jobs....but we just worked all the time. Time came when hubbies old boss from Pa. called and offered a ludicrous amount of money for him to come back. We were so torn. But money is a woderful thing. We went on a rampage. We did all the tourist things. We got on a sunset, champagne cruise on the Western Union in Key West. I was drinking buckets of the stuff. I love champagne but didn't even get a buzz........or so I thought! Saw the sunset, hoisted the sails and glided to shore. Stepped on land and I was BLIND drunk! I mean more drunk than drunk! I was told....LOL!........that i stubbed my toe and as I bled I proceeded to puke all over my raw cut. I sat in the middle of the street and told hubby to leave me ther. I finally got to the car and the wind was blowing so hard I kicked the camaro's door open so far it wouldn't close again all the way. When I woke in the morning I wasn't aware of any of this....and guess who told me as the day went on?

Ok this one comes to my mind. My parents were on a trip to Spain and I needed a place to crash for a month. I had this friend drop me off because I was so sure that I could get in even though I didn't have a key. My parents house had a basement room (which I use to live in) and I remembered an unfinished vent that wasn't connected to anything. So I crawled under there house to were I found the vent hole that went into the bathroom. I climbed up and stuck my legs through managing to get my entire legs in all the way up to my hips and then getting stuck. Well, I just figured it was my baggy jeans. So I took them off and threw them through the opening knowing I would want to put them back on when I got in. Climbing back up, just tickled with myself and my creativity, sliding my legs in and wouldn't you know it my hips still got stuck. DAMN IT!! So now I couldn't get in the house and I was pantless. I pulled at my shirt trying to create a dress and went back out from under the house and sat on the porch not knowing what to do. A few hours later the neighbors got home and asked me what I was doing. I said I got locked out of the house and they informed me they had a key. So he let me in.

ok so I lived in a really old house in Texas...and the bath room door would get tight...so once I got in the shower for work...leaving my clothes on my bed. I took a hot shower and when I got out the door would not open...not a budge.I got a file and tried to unhinge the door...but old hinges don't work that way. So after like 30-45 minutes I looked out of the teeny tiny window over the toilet and hollered for a neighbor who had a key to the house. She let her self in and got me clothes going outside and passing them to me through the window. I got dressed but the distance from the window to the ground was far......so she got another lady and the pulled me through the bathroom window...LMAO...the funny thing was that when the landllord came he gave me that poor dumb little girl attitude thing but eventually had to cut the door to remove it, the swelling never went down.:p

[FussyPucker]

Well Lilith babe I'm sure that's not the first time you've been the cause of an uncontrollable swelling !! ;)

dummest thing I've ever done ? Well let's see 1996 I went on a boat trip with some friends....I woke up one morning 8am climbed out of bed and straight into a Martini :) yummy
the boat was tied up of course ! Like I'd be dumb enough to start it up and take it out onto the water........until I was totaly drunk !
pretty soon the boat was out on the water and I was at the controls hehehe by just after 11 we had managed to tie the boat up outside a pub and off we all went for more drinks......I have no idea how I managed to stear the boat in the very drunken state that I was in or how we managed to tie it up without anyone falling in !!! Anyway we made it into the pub to continue driking and a great time was had by all !!!

not that it would come as a surprise to anybody that's spoken to me for more than 10 seconds, but in one of my less-than-stellar moments i huffed 3 cans of spraypaint in 6 or 7 hours. yep, that's right. *points to self* muthafuckin genius.

[Aqua]

Silky, You gotta change that new Avatar... Everytime I see it I have to use all my self control to not laugh.

One of my dumbest moments? Trust me, there's been a few... but once I decided (after a triple dog dare) to ride my skateboard down the hill in front of my Moms house. While standing up no less. Granted this should not have been a big deal, but the trucks were really loose. High speed+loose trucks=speed wobbles. Right at the bottom of the hill I lost control and fell off, skidding and rolling on the cement road and finally coming to a stop in the gravel on the side of the road. My mom had to turn away on her first look at the flesh hanging from my elbow, and about a year later I had to go to the doctor to have a couple pieces of gravel removed from the scarred area. So don't EVER try to triple dog dare me.... I won't listen! ;)

Aqua I did that once on a bike,,,, was not pretty..

Anyway I had to think about this for a day or two and finial remembered.

We were going to do a controled burn over at the neighbors house, about 2 acres worth, got to rid the land of fire hazards, right? right.

Anyway, had the front end loader and was headed up to their house and the propane tank weed burner was in the front end bucket. As I went up the drive another friend was coming into our place in his car to help, (2 things here to note, the driveway is 1/2 mile long and we are both fire fighters.....)
As I got closer to him I rolled the front bucket down and lowered it as tho I was going to ram him, well the propane tank fell out and under the tractor, off the ground came the rear end, almost flipped me over and how I did not knock the top of the tank I have no clue.
So really 2 things there, almost flipped and almost exploded...
Was I thinking? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
