haha that's classic.

Something happened to me the other day that when I still think about, I still feel stupid.

The story goes a little like this:

A week ago I took my car in to a local garage because I knew their was something up with my exhaust. I'd taken it to the local Kwik Fit garage where the guy ran up of a list of things wrong with my car (like any kwik fit garage does). He said I needed four tyres, which I basically knew, but not STRAIGHT away. He quoted me ?200.05 for four tyers, I more or less told them to shove it. So I took it to another garage I'd been to before, he quoted me ?25 per tyre haha. So I bought two and the new exhaust. The man who fitted everything told me to go back in a week so they could check the tracking on the car.

Skip forward a week I went back to get the tracking checked, a guy told me to pull up, he then looked at the front two tyres, bent down for a few seconds at one side, went to the other and bent down again for another few seconds. He then shouted "THATS ALRIGHT MATE" to me, or so I thought, so I watched him thinking 'has he done it alread?', cos I knew they have to put some machinery in your wheel to look in them, but he didn't do that. Anyway to cut a long story short, after watching him for about a minute, he never came back, so I thought he must be done. Thinking about it since, their was no possible way he could of done it, he must of been going inside to get a tool, and by that point I'd already driven off.... Haha so I dont think I'll be going back there in awhile, because I still feel really stupid.		2011-05-28 18:38:00

WARNING: The following tale is in fact REAL. Please do not ridicule me for the sheer stupidity that seems unreal.

I'm playing airsoft. Me and my team just took out two of the other team's players. We pinned their team leader in an area while they were "respawning". It's too late for him. He surrenders, so we now have a hostage. I get tired, so I lay my gun down: bull**** happens.

My gun starts firing off by itself and starts shooting our hostage on his elbow from 10-15 yards away. My team's yelling "Who's firing?!" I hear my gun and look down to see it loading out because a twig caught the trigger. I remove it. My team's ticked because I killed the hostage. My response (even to this day when questioned about it):

I remeber being about 8 years old, playing on Sonic the Hedgehog 1 on the Mega Drive and I was trying to do the up down left right A and Start togther cheat but to no avail. So I reset the console to do it again for about 50 if not more times! It just wouldn't work! I remeber trying so many times to do this simply cheat and it even got me crying with frustration! Then my mom came in and said ""what on earth is the matter" I said "It's not working" then my mother pull the other end of the controler lead up to show me it wasn't pluged in. XD2011-05-28 20:50:00

Too many instances to count. However I do remember one. When I was in 8th grade I didn't know what coming out of the closet meant O.o it wasn't until that year that I finally learned. It took a teacher and a couple of students to finally get me to understand the concept ">.>2011-05-28 21:13:00

I actually did that once when I was younger. It wasn't because I was sleep walking; it was just because I was bored. :blush:		2011-05-28 21:37:00

... I've done so many stupid things on this website (with Silver at least pointing out half of them -_-) that I do not wish to recall.

In REAL life, however...
- I've let my sister & her friend sail my boat around the bay... and they have no training whatsoever (lol "what are sailing?"). They got busted by the harbor police once they drifted in military docking (since they never got the sail figured out and got caught in a current).
- I tied a French scarf and Belgium scarf together while in the Paris airport... I am most likely gonna be shanked should I ever return to France.
- I bought a crappy umbrella in NYC for $10 off a street vendor. During my trip out to Liberty Island, the umbrella literally torn open and broke every which way possible. When I got back in Manhattan, the vendor was long gone.
- I ate 3-4 month-old fermented cheese... first thing in the morning.
- I made grunting noises at a gorilla at the zoo... calling it into a territorial stand-off. He still recognizes me.
- I set a cabin on fire once... by vacuuming over the power chords.		2011-05-29 05:14:00

Lol, wow.. Why are you crazy?

It's just a natural characteristic that runs in my family, unfortunately. ;_;

The stupidest thing I've EVER done, however... was, erm... crashing my computer several times over (about... 20 times by now)?

No no wait... oh yeah: attempt walking on a cactus.		2011-05-29 05:58:00

I have one, just happened yesterday. I was at a wedding party, then a waiter comes and serves everyone in my table a glass of something. I think: "Well, he served me one, it's probably no-alcohol champagne, so I took (quite a) sip. Then my uncle says: "That is just for the toast!"
My instant thought:

I'm prone to embarrassment but not really stupidity but there's one I just remembered...

I was at the beach with the rest of my class, it was a mandatory trip and no-one wanted to go. 5 miles to walk there and 5 miles back. I was 9 I think at the time. Anyway, everyone was skipping stones and there was nothing else to do so I joined in. I picked up a pretty big stone (about half the size of a clenched fist). I started swinging around like a shot-putter and let it go, a bit too early. It flew through the air and came into contact with- my English teacher's forehead. She instantly started to cry/yell and lay down on the sand, EVERYONE was staring at me in shock. At that time I was a bit of a teacher's pet and it probably looked really weird from an outside perspective. I ran over and said sorry about 10-15 times. And for a week afterwards, every-time she saw me in the corridors she ducked into one of the classrooms... XD		2011-05-29 21:12:00

The other day I asked my friend why you don't hear much of "East West" on a compass and an hour beforehand I went to get off a train via the door leading onto the tracks, not the platform.

I hate myself. ><		2011-05-29 21:20:00

@Joruto: Yep, infact, about a week ago, I was looking my my USB plug-in, and I was getting all hot yelling at people asking them if they found it (What?! I was having a bad day! xD) And the whole time I was running around looking for it, my mom said, "Hey honey, it's right there.." Me: "Who what when WHERE!?" Mah mom: "In your hand.. Heheh..." What a big bucket of embarrassment 		2011-05-31 03:45:00

ok, so im looking for someone to talk to, and someone in a younger grade than me says, " Hey, do you know someone named savanah?"
And yes, theres a savanah in my grade, but i dont technicly "know" her, but i know who she is, so i said yes.

Later, i was talking to my friend, the younger grade girl HUGS me.

I just then figured out that savanah was nearby, and the girl was savanahs little sister. She probably thinks im a stalker now.

that wasnt the most embarrasing part of my year 		2011-06-03 03:01:00

We went out to eat and afterward it was kind of rainy so I thought I'd go get the car and pick my wife up in front of the restaurant. I got in the car and drove right into a dumpster and pushed it about 25 feet.2011-06-03 03:21:00

Yup, I spent about 10min the other day trying to find my socks, I gave up and got another pair to find I'd already put them on -_-

I also tripped over my own foot, there's no way to cover that up from your friends Not when your walking on a completely flat surface 		2011-06-03 03:25:00

I get off the bus with this girl I like, Marissa. My dad was waiting on the other side of the street. My brother and I threw our bags in the back of the truck. I was heading around the back. My brother had already got in, and Dad thought I was in too. He drove off without me. Marissa and 2 other girls were laughing at my misfortune.
At least later she said she felt bad for laughing.

I feel really stupid for this, but today, I made an elevator and captured and when I placed it down, nothing happened. None of the logic in it worked and I was just furious that I couldn't get it to work...

Our school did a sponsored walk, I put my brand new bag I'm my locker, after the walk I got my bag and went home, then I remembered, my keys were still in my locker! So I went back to where my locker was, took the keys out and headed home, halfway home I realised I didn't have a bag, I put it in the hallway after I put the locket keys in it, so I went back to school and got my bag, when I went back to school I found my locket keys in my open locker, I actually forgot to put the keys in my bag in the first place2011-06-05 21:45:00

I'm kind of stuck right now. Let's see what I can think of.

I remember at 5th grade graduation I had to read my story about 5th grade to all of the parents and teachers at the moving up ceremony. I choked on my spit about halfway through.
Left candy and my phone in the same pocket on a hot summer day when I went to football practice. Yeah, not my greatest idea.
Being 4 and my mom said "Don't touch the hot iron!" She left the room and I picked up the handle and tried to rub it on my stomach(I..don't know.) . Had a nasty rash for a week.		2011-06-06 01:36:00

Well one day it was field day at my school and I guess the teachers thought it was a good idea to give all the kids candy before we go outside. So anyways I grabbed a handful and ate most of it while we were going from station to staion. We were at our last station of the day and I had one tiny little chocolate bar left so I placed it in my back pocket. The staion we were at was the water balloon fight and once you got hit you had to sit down. I got out fairly fast, those stinkin water balloons, and sat down on the sideline, yet did I know chocolate was melting and spreading in my pants. It took me until we were walking inside and a few people behind were laughing at me to find out I had soiled my pants. I had to wait in the front office for my mom to bring me a clean pair of pants. How embarrassing!2011-06-08 20:37:00
