The most retarded things you've ever done

Well then. Here I stand, thinking I was near a double epic fail(I had failed the class once before) and I am informed that others share my love of virtual awesomeness over staring bleary eyed at a dry crusty old book while trying to keep the caffeine twitch out of my vision. Perplexed be I.
Yeah, I've failed several classes just because I was playing some stupid game, and a few because I was essentially too lazy to get up.

I just did something even more retarded to make up for it though. I did a huge load of laundry in a cheap portable washing machine(the kind you attach to a kitchen sink) and left the house for an hour on a little walk to curb cabin fever. When I returned I discovered that I forgot to shove the drain hose down the kitchen sink drain, and it had spewed all it's liquid onto the cheap linoleum. I ran to the closet and emptied it onto the mess. It took three huge blankets, most of my clean clothes, and all of my dirty clothes to soak up all that water. Move the fridge, oven, and kitchen table like a madman, and avoided any long term damage. I count my lucky stars that I have no carpets and enough tables to keep electronics off the floor.
See, now that's a retarded thing to do.
 
Couple of years ago in the middle of winter my friend and i got this great idea to run naked from a bar to my place. It was middle of the night and -15 celsius cold. We removed our pants and under wear but kept our shirts and jackets on(it was almost 3 km to my place).

So we ran and we were noticed and it was all good fun until we arrived to my place and realised we left our pants behind and our wallets were in the pockets of those particular pants. Luckily i had my apartment keys in my jacket and we got inside to fetch new pairs of pants so we could go and fetch our earlier pants with taxi.

Sadly when we arrived with taxi to our starting location our pants were missing and i had to leave my passport to the driver and a promise to pay back later. Luckily no one had used my or my friends visa card when we next day went to bank.

I have to say we had some serius facepalming after we realised we left our stuff behind.

To my defence i have to say it was the first time ive ever drank absinthe and i was very drunk.
 
Stupidest thing I've done this year is getting rattled by 2 dumbass racers driving CBR600RR motorcycles and getting coerced into some lil' horseplay on the road. Now, my F800S is a sport / sport touring motorcycle, a CBR600RR is a light supersport bike. As such the two dumbasses had more power at their disposal than I had.

We ended up doing over 230kph over moderately crowded public roads... Yup, brilliant idea that. While I couldn't overtake them, they couldn't shake me. As far as I'm concerned, that was a moral victory for me.

Now I hope I'll have the backbone in the future not to feel the need to give in to this kind of stupid horseplay. Kinda stupid to kill yourself over, I'd say.
 
Did some really stupid stuff during my life, though the most retarted cases i'm too ashamed to even metion.

Some other stupid things i did

1)When i was 15 me and my friend were playing a little basketball. When we decided to head home i thought it would be pretty neat to attempt a final dunk of the day.... I got of from pretty far away, then dunked the ball as hard as i could (it was pretty amazing) grabbed the rim and forgot to let go.... Suddenly i felt that i couldn't hang on any more because the inertia of my body a few moments ago was pulling my legs upwards.... So i ended up landing on the pavement with my head and forearms. Both of my forearms suffered fractures and for a few minutes i could barely hear, while my vision was colorless.

2)The same year i got very worked up because i couldn't find the damn chemistry book that i had to bring back because it was the last day of school. My blood pressure got so high from the state of furry, that an artery in my nose refused to stay intact. The blood stream from my nose was pretty impressive, i tried to lay down, but the blood just continued to work its way up my nose and then some of it got in my eyes. My mother called tha ambulance and during the trip to the hospital i was driking a good amount of my own blood, even after they stuffed my nose full of bandages the bleeding while not as strong, still didn't stop for a few hours. After that incident my nose would oftentimes start bleeding spontaneously, so i had to undergo a surgery.

This tought me of temper management when faced with insignificant problems.

3)Last winter i tried to drift an opel astra 1.6 into an icy corner while going down a slope. After a few seconds i noticed that the car isn't cooperating with me and heading straight into a sidewalk border (which was pretty high). Fortunately i managed to stop the car a few inches short of the sidewalk.

4)While working on a construction site i had to get a big rusty support frame ready for painting, so i started to grind the rust away with an electric disc cutter, without wearing any eye protection.... My eyes were hurting like a bitch for the next month....

Can't remember anything else worth mentioning right now, but i'm sure i did alot more stupid stuff.
 
OH HAI GAIS *falls on face*

Priceless.

1. When young I liked to play with fire. One time I squeezed out a whole tube of highly flammable glue into the kitchen sink and tried to set it on fire. Luckily, I didn't succeed. Parents were less than impressed.

2. Tried to fix an aquarium pump by taking it apart and connecting some wires with a screwdriver. Blown fuse, partially melted screwdriver.

3. Played with a desk stapler by placing my finger underneath and squeezing. Didn't know the thing was spring loaded. Had to use a screwdriver to pull the staple out of my finger (missed the bone fortunately).

4. Pulled a loose tooth, played with it, stuck it up my ear. Almost ended up needing surgery.

5. Decided to remove excess powder from a capsule that wouldn't fit in my toy gun. Using a needle. Scratch scratch Boom.

6. Wrapped some 7.62 bullets in newspapers and set it on fire. Ran around the corner with my friends. Shrubbery caught fire and the house almost went up in flames. The stubborn bullets would not go off so to prevent disaster my friends PEED ON BURNING HIGH POWERED BULLETS. I pussied out on that one.

7. Said "This thing really goes" to my friend while riding in his new Alfa. After some rapid acceleration we broadsided a car doing over 60mph with no seat belts.

8. Got drunk and texted my bosses' squeeze at a party. Naturally she ratted me out and I got dirty looks from the entire management. He was a good sport about it tho.

Will add more as it comes to me.

the bullets aren't dangerous when lighting cartridges on fire. it's the brass from the case that'll cause damage if it goes off, unsupported by a barrel's chamber. the bullet itself, aint gonna do much. :)

you can't board the other car while driving, if you're wearing seatbelts anyway...
 
Followed a bunch of friends intended to watch District 9 when it went on screen but instead end up watching Alien In The Attic.

Swear to God I'm keep on thinking how to kill all of them when watching that piece of childish crap.

So you're dead?

No, he twitched the steering wheel at the last moment and we struck the car at the rear tire and spun him out of the way. We all survived. Perhaps "broadsided" was an unfortunate choice of words.

I wasn't, I was a bored kid :)

Those red plastic things filled with a small charge that you put in toy pistols to make them pew pew better. Not really dangerous but a stupid idea.

A fragment from an exploding 7.62 cartridge is quite capable of ripping through your family jewels.

i didn't say it wasn't dangerous, i said that the bullet would do little harm.

a bullet, is the piece that is fired from a cartridge. the head, if you wish.
the case is what holds the powder (amongst other things).

the cartridge is the whole.

when setting fire to a cartridge, the bullet is unlikely to fire, since it's one of the heaviest parts of the cartridge. since the case is unsupported when the gunpowder ignites (since it is not in the chamber of a barrel as it is supposed to), it is the case that will shatter. case fragments will obviously be fuckin' dangerous. but the bullet will barely do any damage at all.
 
I tend to (incorrectly) refer to cartridges as "bullets", my language doesn't distinguish between the two in every day speech, hence the misunderstanding ;)
