Stupid thing's you've done.

[Ironmonger]

Self-explanatory. I'll go first.

Leaned over to raise my office chair, smashed my eye ridge on the desk. Depth perception for ya.

[Sky Cloud]

Jumped over a desk in 7th grade, failed, and broke my glasses :/

[CamoBadger]

Ohhhhhh yeeees.

Never skateboarded before? check
Never longboarded before? check
Ride longboard down hill and off ramp? check

tear skin off left arm down to subcutaneous layer? check

[Frost]

Ikeep inviting Ironmonger over, so there's one thing.

[Ironmonger]

Jumped off-slash-slid down a 13-ft ramp without breaking my ass.

Doing parkour on the rest of the ramps at a skateboarding/biking place while people were on them.

Had to go again, I've done a lot of dumb things.

[Sky Cloud]

Spinning a rifle and hitting myself in the face

tripped over myself alot

ran into my friend in gym and flew across the ground

i can tell im going to be here alot

[CamoBadger]

Volunteer to get choked out for demonstration purposes during hand-to-hand combat training
Scare the crap out of everyone because I laughed as they choked me
Get choked again until I stop laughing...aka pass da fug out.

[Ironmonger]

Occasionally my friends and I test each other to see how fit we are. I picked up my friend Darren to see if I could lift him over my shoulders, I accidentally-on-purpose (it was instinctive) threw him over my shoulder and into the ground.
My brother taught me some college wrestling knowledge and I used it without thinking.

[MrMagma]

Go with some friends to dick around in a building site because we're real clever. (I was about 10 years old IIRC, I'm allowed to be a fucking idiot)
At some point during the adventure, I end up carving my left leg open at the shin (like, right down to the bone).
Investigate this sudden numb sensation in my leg.
..."Okay, guys, I'll see ya later, there's some...problems I have to attend to." Casually walk home, blood pouring down my leg.
Not sure if really dumb, or really awesome.

[Katarn]

Tried to cut rope with an axe...nearly severed finger.
When was kid (~4 y.o.) cut lamp's cord with scissors..only by luck didn't die.

[Sky Cloud]

just cleaned my bike and started riding, when the front peg hit the wheel of a parked car...... i flipped over it and got a gigantic bruise on my chest

[Cptadder]

There was the time I almost got arrested for running a meth lab in Indiana... good times.

There was the time I got drunk the second time and woke up pant less in a highway medium at six am over half a mile from the party.

Eerie that you mention that. In one of the New Vegas mods I have installed, one of the perks makes you wake up pant less in the Wasteland with a ton of money.

Also: Threw saw blades at a tree when I was four. They boomeranged back at me.

There are two lessons to be learned here, kiddies:
Meth labs can get you arrested.
And getting drunk at parties with people who would dump you on a highway is a bad idea.

As for stupid stuff... if accidents count:
I crashed an ATV a month and a half ago. Flung me over the handlebars and I landed on my back facing away from the vehicle, so I had done a front flip and landed it. It wasn't scary at all since I didn't see it coming, either. Nothing but myself was damaged, I ended up with a slightly sore back and a headache.

1. I was not running a meth lab at the time so no lesson was learned by anyone
2. My frends did not dump me, I got Black out drunk and according to someone I trust I wandered onto the back porch and then off into the woods to supposedly piss never came back that evening.

[Ketchup]

Firstly, both were terrible jokes. Maybe I shouldn't joke, it just seems to get people mad around here. Anyway:
1. I wasn't saying you did. But they can get you arrested. Probably came off that way, sorry.
2. Oh, I just got that idea because I've heard of it happening before because people get drunk with people they don't know, and end up lost, pantless, worse, etc. Going on just that, I didn't put "friends", but "people" instead. But yeah, your story makes more sense, as you do give off the kind of sense of responsibility not to do that sort of thing. Just me, being irrational.

So it was the second time I got to play paintball with my friends we played a few games then went to the chronograph station to finish the leftover paint.

when the paint was gone we decided to point and blast cold air at each other, felt great on a hot, humid and sunny day. So i stuck the barrel in my pants, turns out at that range just the force of the air was enough to cause pain.

In my defense I was young and dumb and still had the 'pftt its just paint' mindset.

Skinned (more like flayed) my palms by doing a cat-style landing on gravel from a long jump - still got scars, probably because I opened them up again twice playing soccer. Got friction burns on the back of left hand from not paying attention while walking against a wall, pretty noticeable scars from that (lost all but the very last few layers of skin, tons of scabbing and pus and stuff resulted). Stretching once, hit a glass ceiling lamp covering, knocked it loose, it fell onto and shattered upon my hand - again, got the scar tissue to prove it. Ate half a box of oreos once when I was like 4, regretted it alongside vomiting. Dated one of my best friends once - not something I regret, but damn was it stupid. Tried to free up space on an old computer once (when I was in elementary/middle school) by deleting stuff from the SYSTEM32 folder... oddly enough, nothing really bad happened and the computer did indeed run faster - still was stupid. Uh, I'm sure there are more instances than that, but that's all that comes to mind immediately... explored a purportedly haunted area of the woods a few times, but other than some weird spatial distortions and tons of spiders, nothing bad happened. Yup! :)

[CamoBadger]

Yeah, dating best friends never ends well. I've done that one as well...should've quit after it failed the first time...or the second time...

And why you hurt your hands so much?!

PAIN SHALL MAKE THEM STRONGER! =P But really, it's far better than it might be - I've yet to break anything! And I guess it sort of makes sense, in some ways - hands are an important part of how we interact with the world, so they get exposed to more nasty stuff than, say, chins. Also, it might just be confirmation bias of a sort, since I can easily see my hands and remember how I got all the little scars with mixed fond nostalgia and rue, whereas I generally can't remember the multitude of times I've been hit in the head. =P (Most of those weren't directly due to my stupidity, for the record) But yeah, I should probably start wearing gloves or something, especially when failing at parkour.

@Plasticube
Flippin' OUCH.

[Ironmonger]

Me and my buddy Caleb decided (actually the entire group decided to, but Caleb and I being the primary factor here) to stage a mock fight. We started throwing real punches (we knew what we were doing) and we somewhat lost track of who was aiming where, we punched at the same time and our fists impacted at high speed. Fortunate we didn't jam our fingers. We jump away from eachother, flailing our injured hands and going "DUUUUUUUDE!" with idiotic grins and laughing.

[Tia]

I have a box of zip ties and my friend asked for a couple to make a "Zip tie star", i allow him. after he makes one he starts hitting me with it(it hurts kinda like a whip) and we were like lol. then i make one, for about 10 mins we were whipping the s*** out of eachother, i stop and yell "What the hell are we doing" and he laughs saying "i dont know!"

[XT Vengeance]

Me and my friends used to shoot at each other with airsoft guns. Fun times.

[Ironmonger]

I do a lot of stupid stuff, not because I'm a complete idiot but because I want to experience different situations. Unfortunately someone on the Ironmind Committee of Thinkers occasionally derps and I get injured. Then I feel better because I just suffered a sometimes serious injury and recovered, have a new story to tell, and have some scars. No pain no gain!

One of the stupider things I do is say "Ow" when I'm not even injured. That said, not much actually fazes me.

[Ametros]

Not exactly stupid on my part, but my greatest injury was getting hit in the mouth by a cricket ball. I was actually batting and turned my head around to see where the ball was just as I got hit.

I need braces to fix up my front teeth after that...

[Dreamer of dragons]

Found some 9mm blanks and decided to pry one open to see what the inside looked like. Blew up in my face.

[OBS.GS.§S]

When I was a baby not even a year old, I had a habit of dragging my head across the carpet in the living room, getting a large rugburn on my forehead and causing it to scab over each time, and according to my parents I wouldn't cry or act like it hurt, I'd just sit there and laugh my little baby laugh.

And thus began the magical adventure of Obs' life.

[OneMoreDaySK]

Not me personally, but I accidentally ran into a wall. Ok maybe that is stupid, but after I did, my sister said "Ow".

This reminds me of the last time I stayed at my buddy Tristan's house. We're both 16 but when my mother dropped me off she handed me this bag of dollar store toys and said "HAVE FUN" so in the bag were this big rubber frog ball toys (like stress balls shaped like frogs you sickos) and these 10 inch long glow in the dark rubbery centipedes.

We ended up spending nearly all of the night out in us yard whipping eachother with the centipedes and throwing the frogs at eachother, occasionally putting the frogs in those dog ball throwing thingies (to throw a tennis ball farther). It was fun and we continued until the toys had all been busted. The next Monday at school we both told eachother we had developed massive welts where we were whipped by the centipedes. It was a very humorous "what'd you do over the weekend" discussion.

I've actually done that once a few years back, trying to headbutt my brother. Don't remember why.
I ended up with a concussion and the swelling on my forehead was really something. It was on our Thanksgiving too.
