A user asked the forum, what’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? Here are the common responses.
STAYING WITH MY EX
“Stayed with an ex after she cheated. Just leave folks; there’s no fixing that. Edit: I’m legitimately depressed that so many of you related to this; I hope things have improved!”
DRIVING FASTER
“Drove my motorcycle down the road at 110 MPH while I was drunk because the girl on the back wanted me to go faster.
I was much, MUCH younger than I am now, but it still makes me queasy when I think about what could have happened that day. Very, very stupid.”
GETTING INTO SOMEONE’S CAR
“Maybe not the dumbest, but I got into a random person’s car without thinking.
I was trying to catch the bus, and the guy offered to give me a ride to the nearest bus stop. Got lucky that he was just trying to be a good Samaritan.”
CONSUMING HEROIN
“Shot heroin after nine years clean. I’d say that was quite an error in judgment.”
TRYING HOMEMADE GRENADE
“As a ten-year-old, I tried to make a homemade grenade, added in airsoft babes for shrapnel.
The thing ended up blowing up in my hand. Luckily, I didn’t have any major injuries.”
DRINKING
“Friends and I, super drunk (ya, that’s a shock), decided to scale a greenhouse… in the middle of a thunderstorm, then took turns holding the lightning rod (kinda super low probability Russian roulette).
The most dangerous part wasn’t the above, though. It was getting down from the three-story high building while it was pouring rain and still slick.
Honestly, surprised we escaped with only some scrapes.”
BUYING A HOUSE
“bought a house in an attempt to save a failing relationship.
The relationship still failed, and I ended up with a house (by myself) that I could barely afford payments on and could not afford the maintenance.
Ended up short-selling it. Glad it is over…that includes the house as well.”
PUTTING MY HANDS ON THE STOVE
“I put my hand on a stove once to see if it was hot. It was.”
PULLING A FIRE ALARM
“I pulled a fire alarm in a motel when I was five because I wanted to know what would happen.
My parents panicked, the whole fire department showed up, and I got scolded by the fire chief.”
BREAKING MY ARM
“I broke my arm playing high school football. I then cut the cast with hedge clippers two weeks early to play a pickup football game with friends.
I obviously broke it again, much worse. I now have a metal plate and 16 screws in my arm.”
WORKING IN A CHILDCARE
“Thought working in childcare was a good idea.”
GOING ON A TRIP WITH A BAD GUIDE
“Went on a class 4 rafting trip with a bad guide and a shallower-than-normal raft. Husband ended up tearing both his rotator cuffs, saving my life.”
SHOOTING A LIVE SHOTGUN
“Shot a live shotgun shell with a BB gun from point blank range.
We were in the woods, and it was like a bomb went off. Leaves, sticks, and branches fell in every direction around us.
And there we were, standing there without a scratch on us, and we knew instantly how stupid that was and how lucky we were.”
SMOKING
“Started smoking. Hands down, dumbest decision I ever made.”
GETTING MARRIED
“Get married. Three times.”
WALKING ON THE FROZEN ICE
“My brother dared me to walk out on the ice of a frozen pond, so I did. Then he dared me to dig a hole in the ice with my heel, so I did. After the second hole, the ice gave way.
This is before I learned to swim.”
