I pursued higher education. I don't come from money and I'm wasn't smart enough to get scholarships but I stupidly thought I would earn enough to pay off the student loans.

It was like a train wreck in slow motion. Each year I saw my debt accumulating and my job prospects growing dimmer. But how do you just stop halfway through? Then you've got to make the payments and you can't get the job anyway. It was like an inevitable horror show of shit. Guidance counselors and the like should really be honest about salaries and the cost of higher education.

Now I work in a job I hate for very little money, most of which goes to pay back the loans and other debt that I racked up.

The dumbest thing I ever did was pursue a relationship with a girl after she told me she had a drug problem. That was a brilliant move. The desire for sex will make a man do some stupid shit.

For future reference, Sean...it's common practice here, and considered rude to do otherwise, to post your own experiences first. Just to get the ball rolling? Don't ask, without first offering.

When I was a kid some friends and I thought it would be cool to hike through some tunnels near my house. None if us could get ahold of a flashlight so we all took off our socks and put them on the end of a stick to make a torch, we dipped it in gasoline and lit it up. Since we were young we didn't realize that the tunnels in question were sewage tunnles and that as such would have a bit of methane in the air. Let me just tell you, lit torches and methane don't go well together.

it's not just rude, its the request of Halx.

just one thing...

I didn't take corporate jobs earlier. I would be financially better off had I moved just a couple years earlier, and I'd be much higher on the corporate ladder.

I remember one thing that I did when I was 13.. I spliced the wires of a RC car motor to a power cord that plugs into a wall socket. I stupidly held the motor as I plugged the cord in, and then I heard VVVVVPPPP and then POP as the motor spun up and then exploded. Shocked the shit out of myself and got a nice little burn from the motor.

Scared the living daylights out of me, and I absolutely hate getting shocked now. It's the worst fucking thing.

dirtyrascal7

no doubt what mine is... driving drunk. i don't think you could be any more stupid. i'm just very glad i didn't hurt anyone or get pulled over.

skinnymofo

ive done quite a few stupid things in the short time that i have been on this earth.
the most blatant one would be one of the first times i got drunk somewhere around 14 i think? anyway we were camping and had just built a large fire. I picked up a nice round rock and threw it into the fire, and then decided i shouldnt of done that and i wanted my rock back. So i stuck my hand in there and brushed the metal firepit container with my wrist which was pretty close to red hot at the time.
Worst of all the scar i hoped for after everything was all said and done faded after a couple months

I have also done many walks through bonfires on the burning logs and stuff. All good fun

Lyncher

When I was 14 my uncle got pissed up on a bottle of scotch by 9 am. and woke me up to go shoot a deer ... he tossed me the keys siting that he was " too drunk to drive" ... so we get about 2 miles out of town and he loads up a shotgun with bird shot ... instructs me to sit and wait ... thinking this was nuts I say no way ... then a seer pops out ... he yells at me to shoot it ... I don't even think one shot got even close to the deer. hah ... so he grabs the gun and starts unloading like crazy on this deer, which didn't even move ... then tells the story to my mother at supper time.

True story.

iccky

I probablly shouldn't laugh, but that is pretty fucking funny.

Falling out of contact with my host family from my forgien exchange. No reason, no excuse, and I just totally walled off that portion of my life.

kid astronaut

i don't know about the stupidest thing i've ever done, but earlier today i was cooking and i knocked a huge knife off of the counter. i reached out for it while it was falling and managed to catch it by the handle before immediately thinking-- "<i>holy GOD that was stupid<i>"

lindseylatch

Haha, I don't think you should be flippant to Super Mods...they hold your account access in their hands.

You know what though, Seanland, it made me not want to say anything because it looks like you're just trying to get us to say things to make yourself feel better about something you did. I'm not trying to be harsh but that was just my gut reaction. So go ahead, fess up - what did you do?? I promise whatever it was I've done something 10 times as stupid.

Ripsaw

Free-climbed the side of a four story building. At 11PM in absolute darkness. I got up to the top, figured out where I was and said "Oh shit." Climbing down is a lot harder than climbing up.

yip driving drunk is a stupid one that i have done once before.
my parents house is out in the counrty about 2 miles from where i go for catch up drinks when i am back home. one night after far too many beers i decided to drive rahter than walk. made it fine but the feeling of guilt the next day was heavy and so i learned my lesson without hurting anyone and without getting caught. thankfully.

some of the stupidest things i have done have been on a snowboard. hiking backcountry and getting about half way down a way too steep with a way too high cliff being the ony way out...and climbing/ snowboarding/ skiiing when there is a high avalanche risk. that is stupid. i've have the fortune of setting a couple off without getting caught up in them too bad and they are so fast and powerful it's unbelievable!

but the stupidest thing i have ever done was joked around with an immigration officer or whatever you call them at passport control in america. about year ago and friend and i were going to nyc having just come from china and vietnam. i decided it would be funny to act all suspicious and dodgy, answering the questions with different answers, etc...not a good idea ended up spending a night in a police cell while they checked me and my pal out! i was not flavour of the month i tell you...

Probably being there for people and helping them, then finding out they never return the favor.

Been a lot of that lately with different people I know. Kinda fucked up, so I kinda regret being as nice as I have been. (One of my friends, she's bein an ass lately.. when I've been very nice and helped her in times of need)

Spit in someones face.

I was in grade 9 at the time, Some senior thought it would be funny to spit on my leg from behind as we were walking down the hall..I heard them making noises like "Aww gross". I stopped looked at the back of my pants and sure enough..I big wad of spit on my pants.

I didn't say nothing, Just turned, walked towards him and spit the biggest gob of spit i could gather in my mouth and i couldn't help but crack a smile looking at his face covered in spit..This guy gave me a punch in the stomach (Wasn't much of a punch though).

Looking back at it..I wish i had of just taken a swing at him, He wasn't expecting anything, I was in grade 9 and he was a senior..Some senior's are big bad ass's in school

Well, beat this Sean. Drinking to the point of blackout on Bourbon Street while on spring break with stupid people I had only met the day before (mostly frat boys), then sobering up to find myself in a hostel shower with some guy I'd never seen before, realizing I'd lost my virginity in the process. If that's not stupid I don't know what is... and up to that point, I didn't have many regrets to speak of (was very goody-two-shoes for most of my life, never got in trouble, never partied, was a 24-year old virgin).

lol, i highly doubt it. But Sure Here It is..

It Happened only a week ago now.. Me and some of my friends being the jackasses we can be decided it would be fun if we went out and bought some eggs, and go target certain people's houses that pissed us off recently. Driving to our target in 2 seperate cars we found this little silver honda civic. So We came up to a Red Light. With each of us on other side of the car on the three laned road. Communicating VIA Cell phone one guy thought it would be funny to hit the car. Reading the signals from the other car, I believed that we were not hitting the car. But one guy in the back decided to throw 1 egg at the car. Not realizing this, he tells me that cars following you. I'm like why? He says because I egged it.
Ok, so he chased us for a few minutes, at the first red light, the guy runs out of his car and charges at the car, so i turn right on the red fearing my life. The we thought of the idea maybe we can pull over at the nearest public place (the mall) and apologize for being jackasses, but then, this happened about 3 mores times, until the last red light he decided to pick up a block of ice from the side of the road and throw it at the rear window. That started to freak me out. Now the plan was to meet up with some buddies and try to get away without him killing us.. So we eventually got to the mall 30 mins later, and our buddies werent there, so we did a few laps around the mall waiting for them. Eventually they came, cut them off, and we made the getaway in my POS Chevy Malibu which is like dead..
Next Morning, A Cop shows up at my door. He says "Were You Driving the Malibu Last Night?". I replied "Yes", then he responds saying "You know that car you egged, those were two off duty cops." Im Just like shit.....

This is definately by far the dumbest thing I have ever Done, trust me. Eggs frighten me now...

And To The Mods, Sorry For being an ass, hope the story was worth waiting for... now make fun of me

When I was 18 and about to get my license, my dad bought me a nice little Acura. We're working on it a little in the garage when he tells me to put water in the radiator or somewhere, and walks away. I look around and find a cap with a container and a drop coming from it.

Long story short, I flat out filled the oil with water. Took a while to fix that one.

RogueHunter65

I jumped down a stairwell once. Went from the 2nd floor to the basement. Messed up my ankle pretty badly. I did it right at the start of the summer, so it basically ruined my summer for me. By far the stupidest thing i have ever done.

When I was about eleven or twelve I went bike riding with my little cousin, I think she was about six. We were home alone at her house and since I'd never worn a helmet in my life I didn't think I shouild start now. I can't remember if she wanted to wear hers and I said don't bother, or if she just saw me not wearing mine and decided to follow suit.

Anyway, we decided to go down this really, really steep hill (and I saw it years later, it wasn't just steep because I was young) from the top to the bottom. I made it just fine but her wheels started wobbling and she fell off, and it really was horrific, she looked like a motorbike rider tumbling after a high speed crash, she just kept rolling and bouncing down this massive hill for about 60 feet.

When she got up the skin on one side of her face was almost torn away, her face was like minced meat, it was horrific. She ran home and I chased after her, it was terrible. I can't remember what happened when we got home but her parents got her cleaned up and she had to wear a bandage for a while.

The next day we all going to a theme park but she stayed home because she was too embarassed about her face.

It's the stupidest thing I've ever done because I didn't insist on her wearing a helmet - she was a six year old girl and we went down a really steep hill. I've felt guilty about that for the past ten years. And this is actually the first time I've ever told this story, that happened ten years ago and I've finally got that off my chest. I don't feel any better though

jumped off the ledge of a pool, but spun around in the process trying to do a "trick" and ended up busting my chin on the pool ledge, falling in the water, bleeding and knocked unconcious. although i was at most only in kindergarten when this happened.

Cross-Over

Last day of school junior year in high school, at a kick ass party, and a bunch of us starting horsing around. I had recently separated my shoulder, and was advised to have surgery. Of course, I ended up dislocating my shoulder, and was in excruciating pain. Worse than the pain, was the fear of my parent's reaction to picking me up at the ER after my shoulder was put back in, again, but this time after a night of drunkenness. I think I had recently saw one of the Lethal Weapons where Mel Gibson gets his shoulder back in by being slammed into a wall. I tell my friend, who is also drunk, to slam it back in place while I lean against a wall. Didn’t work, ended up going to the ER, parent's were pissed.

NotMVH

I have no regrets but a few stories:

Always wear underwear under your jeans. I remeber being small, maybe 6 or 7 and zipped up a pair of jeans and caught a small bit of my skin in the zipper. I just fell down screaming (barely remember) followed with my parents rushing me to the E.R. where the doctor gave me a seditive, cut away the jeans and carefully removed the offending zipper.

Another would be when I was in middle school over at this girls house basicly to makeout and thinking french kissing was to stuff your tongue in a girls mouth. Understandly my poor romancing was not appreaciated. 3

Recently would be dropping of my freind around 2 AM in the morning, crusing down the highway in my porsche and seeing some headlights pull right up behind me. Being an empty highway, I sped up a bit (in the left lane myself) and the car sped up a bit. I figured it was just someone tailgating me so as a rounded the highways corner at 20 K over the speedlimit, I put the foot on the pedal and shot up to around 140 or 150 K as the Police officer behind me put his lights on. He was pretty good about it though, he didn't write me a speeding ticket but handed me an 86 CDN ticket for not displaying the proper sign.

mokle

Shot an old lady with a pellet rifle. Me and 2 friends were shooting pop cans we had set up in an alley from a 2nd story balcony. Ran out of cans, so one friend had the bright idea to shoot cars. Pellet bounced, hit old lady. Cops came. Gun seized. Parents phone (we were 12).

I bought about 4000 shares of Sun Microsystem over a six month period on margin at a dollar cost average of about $3.75 per share. I didn't sell it all when it hit $120 / share. That was pretty stupid. It gets worse....I started buying more on margin while it was on the way down. That was more stupid. It gets even worse but I digress and you get the idea.

Freshman year in college: Started drinking about noon, went outside to chill at the 'Omega', stone bench that looks like the greek letter, and a guy drives by on a golf cart. Something falls off and I go over to help him get it back on the golf cart, and he asks me if I want to hop on, and I oblige.

Yeah, stolen golf cart, got arrested, charged with grand larceny. Spent the night in jail.
