Well that was stupid.

[Jedamethis]

Well I was going to have lunch, a scrambled egg sandwich, and my brother had just fried himself an egg, so I didn't know whether the pan was still hot. If it wasn't, then I'd have to warm it up fast[footnote]Because I'm hungry damnit.[/footnote] by turning it up high. But if it's already hot then I just make it stupid hot and burn everything. So:

"I wonder if this pan is hot"

[Guess what happened here!]

"OW JESUS FUCK FUCK FUCK!"

Why did I do something so stupid? Many people I know have done similar things[footnote]"I wonder if this electric fence is turned on..."[/footnote], so I know it's not just me, but why?

Also, you guys guys have any hilarious stories about stupid things you did?

 

[hyperhammy]

You know, if it was still that hot you might have felt it by just holding your hand above the pan. =)
No, I never do anything stupid. hahaha! just kidding, but I don't feel like listing them all.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I would have flung a bit of water onto the pan. Water never lies after all. As for stupid things I've done: I've fallen up stairs. It kinda sucks >.>

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Whilst changing a lightbulb

"You know what would help here? Having the light on. Hmm... I wonder what the socket for the bulb looks like. Maybe if I poke it..."

Holy fuck, that hurt. I don't really know how I managed to explain the fact that most of the lights in the house went out without saying it was my fault, but I got away with it somehow. My hand smelled like burning for a while though...

Well I was hiking with a bunch of friends from school recently. We stopped to have a break and one guy decided to pull himself up using an electric fence meant to keep cows detained. He had a little spasm...

Once I dove headfirst in to a pond whilst fully clothed. Because I was fully clothed, that meant I had my phone and my wallet in my pocket, something I neglected at the time.
Then there was this other time I put a slice of blueberry crumble in to a toaster oven, but since you can't really have a slice of blueberry crumble as it crumbles, I kind of almost started a fire. Almost.To sum up the reason I did this, it was

Because I'm hungry damnit.

I knew that. >.>

 

[Kollega]

Why did you do something stupid? Logic and self-preservation instinct simply shuts down once in a while (especially if you're busy thinking of something else). As for me... i've did a lot of idiotic things, but can't remember any exact ones at the moment. And i'm grateful for it.

As for stupid things I've done: I've fallen up stairs. It kinda sucks >.>

How in the hell did you manage to fall upstairs?!

Amazing the lengths mankind will go to for food...

So my friend and I were really... hungry one time at his place. So he decides to make some microwaveable popcorn. He asks "Should we put hot butter on it?" and I respond "Of course we should." So he takes the little butter packet which is made from some kind of aluminum, and puts it in the microwave. Yeah. There are still scorch marks in that microwave. It was cool looking when it happened though.

My hand slipped off a doorknob and I walked straight into the door.

Playing ball in the basement. Ball hits lightbulb. Lightbulb falls out. Me, being really smart, decides to put lightbulb back in socket without using the light switch to turn if off. I got electrocuted. Felt really weird.

Worst part was I was babysitting at the time. >_>

Maybe your masochistic and you subconsciously like to feel pain. I've done it a few times.

Ye gads man! Where was the baby/small child/disgruntled big child?

 

[HeySeansOnline]

I sliced open my thumb, getting super glue off my thumb, cause it was annoying, tankfully pain covered It up.

...I almost shot my own foot off, Well, I didn't really do it, But I grabbed a gun I didn't know if it was loaded or not and clicked the trigger. Not smart...

Both kids were in the same room as I was. >_>

Luckily, I wasn't down for long, said I just got shocked, and put the bulb in properly. Then we went back to playing ball.

 

[steeple]

i came home kinda late (3-4 am), and while i took off my socks i felt i needed to use the bathroom.
instead of throwing the socks to the laundry bin and walking to the toilet, i threw the socks to the toilet and started walking to the laundy bin... took me a second to realise the stupidity and i laughed for about 5 minutes at myself after it

 

[Shoggoth2588]

It involves running upstairs with no regard to the stairs themselves then trying not to break your teeth when you hit the stairs.

 

[CroutonsOfDeath]

This is from when I was a kid. For long reasons I don't feel the need to explain I was forced to go to a grade school for the behaviourally challenged for my 3rd grade year despite the fact I was a quiet nerd who followed orders like a bloody robot and all I wanted to do was learn, read, get the hell out. Anywho the insane monkey children got on my nerves and I used a stress ball, but instead of squeezing it I would dig my nails into it. Apparently that was bad behaviour and so they took away my stress ball and I was looking for something soft to dig my nails into. Stupidly, I realized that the only soft thing nearby was myself. So I started digging my nails into my cheek and I kept doing it over and over and over and by the time the teacher noticed, I had literally tore a small chunk out.

I still have the scar D:
