The dumbest thing I ever did would be on a ski trip in February 2006. I went flying down a black run, having assumbed the 'egg' position. I hit ice, slid sideways and went straight off the side of the slope, down an almost vertical decline across rocks and ice. Result? A dislocated knee and a mashed up face.

What's the most unintelligent thing you guys have ever done?

Had an external fixator in (lower leg), 3 bars protruding above the break and 3 below and then managed to fall when on my crutches (was in s chair most of the time I was outside) - had to make the decision to either

a) stand on the leg and risk re-break/movement and having it heal crooked
b) pitch onto the metal spikes and have them rip through bone/calf and out other side

should never have been out on slate tiles in the rain
 
Just because it's called "dishwashing liquid", doesn't mean it belongs in your dishwasher.
 
Joined a silly forum called TalkPhotography. My poor bank account :shake::shake::shake::shake:




;)
 
Chucked a lit commercial grade Roman candle in a big coffee tin in my bedroom, put the lid on and sat on it...:D
 
Damn, I've done so many dumb things and somehow never broken a bone!

Taking a goat track down a mountain on my bike was pretty dumb. I was picking gorse thorns out my arse back and legs for hours. This was a fair few years ago on a bike with no suspension - which I still have :)

Although I have to admit sledging down a very large hill on a car bonnet was also rather stupid. But that was stupidity divided by four as there were 4 of us on the bonnet. Well, 3 once we made it to the bottom. Only one once the bonnet had passed the field boundry.
Did I mention how hard a car bonnet is to stop when on snow at speed?

Haaarghahahaha that one made me laugh
 
It's not as dumb as my skiing accident, but arranging the metal poolside furniture on the bottom of a hotel swimming pool in Brunei got me the wrong sort of attention :lol:
 
Picked up a soldering iron the wrong way around. Walked into a door. Mis-juged a step and mashed my face up. Stood up and ripped a majority of the skin off my back on a draw. Tried to jump my bike of a kerb. Kerb 1 Face 0. Treid to open a milkshake close to my face. Face full of milkshake lol. I am very clumsy/daft.

That's nothing, some of the guys we know stuck rockets in their crack and set them off :cuckoo:

I have done lots of dumb things like falling up stairs and down stairs and breaking bones

I think possibly the dumbest thing I did was peeing the whole of my second year at Uni up the wall and only passing 2 out of 10 modules so having to resit the whole year the following year.
 
Ooooh and the time I treid to eat a mcflurry by sucking through the spoon :lol::lol: I thought it was a big straw. Mum had to explain :lol: And the time I sneezed in mcdonalds and gave myself a black eye where the straw from my drink hit me :lol:
 
Another one, ran my finger down a knife to see if it was sharp :lol: It was. Very, very sharp. Afterwards I thought 'why did I do that' :lol:

How the hell are you still alive? NOBODY can be that clumsy lmfao
 
I am sure my dad has many more stories of dumbass things I have done LOL. And to think they let me near Ferraris etc lol.
 
Jumped out of a bedroom window on to a bouncy castle in the garden...... Mrs G had to take me to casualty in the morning :lol:




and I wasn't even drunk :shrug:
 
Bought a motorbike when I was 45, now that was a bloody stupid idea, 18 and 45 are a long way apart
 
Deciding to do some clothes washing whilst drunk ... and subsequently forgetting to take my camera out of my my jeans pocket before washing them :lol:
 
:lol: :lol: :lol: I like this thread. Matt you're a pleb :D

Dumbest thing I have ever done? :thinking: ... Nope... :thinking: Err I don't know :shrug: I'll think on it and come back.
 
If they ever do a Young Inspector Clouseau film I think we have found the right man.:D Matt

standing ontop of a shed cutting down hawthorns then stepping back to check if there level. A little too far back:eek:
 
Too many to mention and none suitable for a mixed forum:thumbs:
 
When I was a nipper I decided that I wanted something on top on a glass shelf. With no one around, I decided that I`d just have to get it myself.

Got a chair and climbed up on it on tip toes, unfortunately I over balanced and grabbed the nearest thing. The glass shelf! And promptly fell arse backwards off the chair, pulling the glass shelf with me.

Apparently, how I managed to fail to do serious damage was anyones guess!

Oh, and another one, I overturned my Honda trike in a field. Being stuck under it, I pulled myself out. Shame I chose to grab the exhaust as a lever. Bloody hell that hurt. I had serious burns and blisters from that.
 
I think this thread needs renamed to "I'm not as daft as Matt Sayle but I have done this dumb thing..."
 
For the record, trying to unblock a car underseal gun by forcing 200psi through it isn't a good idea.....unless you're going to be auditioning for the Black and White Minstrels.....:bang:
 
Hmm got a few from back in the day but nothing in the past few years.

Got my hand stuck up a hoover and the brushes burnt/ripped all the skin off my index finger, down to the bone. Had to have skin grafts.
Got my middle finger, on the same hand, trapped in a car door which left the tip just hanging on by a flap of skin.
Fell of my bicycle and the pedal dug into the soft bit just next to the knee cap and then pull the skin off my knee cap. Funny thing was, it didnt hurt or bleed until about 30 minutes later on the way to hospital. I had walked for a good mile.

There all dumb accidents but the dumbest thing that nobody got hurt was trying to cut down an 80 ft tree with a spade, got caught by someone living near by. He took me home, told my mum and she made me go back and watch him push it down, did so much damage to all the other trees. It was in the middle of a wood area btw, Not a housing estate.

These were all when I was about 10 years old btw.
 
To this day i dont know why I did this but....

Many years ago when the light bulb blew in our bedroom, I stuck my finger in for some reason when it was switched on. (I really dont know why i did it :nuts:). Threw me across the room.

Slammed the car door on a finger, trapping it and instead of opening the door, stupidly pulled the finger out, ripping the nail out!


Loads more in the workshop. Like swinging a 2lb ball pein hammer in another kind of ball!!! :eek::eek: :( Now that hurt.

Setting fire to my arm whilst using cutting gear to remove an exhaust. Twice in a week.....


Better stop now.



Kev.

Thread title changed...sorry Matt :D
 
Playing with matches as a kid, managed to set fire and burn about 3/4 of our school rugby pitch, this resulted in one hell of a pasting from my dad, and the school having to get 1 set of new rugby posts, oh and replace the greenhouse they fell through.

Another, i have epilepsy, in my old house i had a small siezure on our laminate flooring, managed to "break dance" (that's what i call it) across the lounge and smash the front of my head off an old gas tap that stuck up out of the floor, result, 9 stitches in the front of my head.:lol:

I have more, but you would think i am dumb as they come;)
 
:lol::lol:That's the most entertaining read I've had in a while....... I have nothing nearly so amusing, but give it time.:thumbs:
 
Oh man... There's some painful things in here. Matt... A small suggestion... quite while you're behind :D...

I sneezed walking through a doorframe. The force of the sneeze was so much I nutted the frame. The bruise on my forehead stood out a good cm or two... I looked like I head a blue/black egg on my forehead for a week.
