Why would you do that?

Well, as we all know (or should know), people are stupid. Certain individuals can be stupid, and large groups of people are always stupid. And this leads me to my question.

What is the single stupidest thing you have ever seen any person (or group of persons) do?

Haha very true.

I was in goal for soccer, and I stopped some kids shot, and he ran up and punched me in the face. One of us ended up in the hospital, and it wasn't me.

I think I just thought of one.

Camp Jeep, 2006 or 2007.

A large pile of rocks needed to be climbed over to continue the trail. One of the guys trying it (everyone who made it came back to watch) back up a good 50-100 feet, then, after a few moments of silence, floored the thing, and sent it engine first into a wall of rock. The vehicle was totaled, and any respect anyone had held for him was long gone. It was so stupid that nobody even laughed.

Idiot!

I didn't see this but apparently down the road from where I used to live,two guys got drunk and grabbed two huge bales of hay,set them on fire,and started throwing fireballs at eachother.genius.

At the gym, I saw some newbies trying to press something way too heavy for them. He couldn't hold it anymore and his aid could't lift it either. Pretty fun to watch, if you can ignore the fact that the guy underneath was almost being crushed.

My Father once yelled at me because I'd left pan of boiling oil on the cooker (Still on of course) He was yelling so much about how I could have "burned the house down" and all that, but the entire time he was trying to emphasize his point by wringing out a wet towel over it... to show me how hot it was...


for those not savvy to pans of boiling oil, the LAST thing you do is put water on it, It bursts into flame.

Luckily for my father that failed to happen...

But the entire time I was just thinking "Go on, yell about Me burning the house down when you're about to scold your hand off, trying to prove a point..."

To this day it still holds strong as the most stupid thing I've ever seen a person do.

And forever cemented the undeniable fact in my mind that I am indeed MUCH smarter than my father.

But you wouldn't say that to his face, would you?

I've made him very much aware of this in exactly that manner.

Bloody well agreed. I mean damn has anyone read what they actually believe in? What a HUGE, and I mean Mountain sized pile of tripe. It's no religion, it's a business exploiting religion.

One of my friends is a moron, whenever he opens his mouth he's wrong about something. I try as hard as i can to correct him and explain the truth. I have this thing against ignorance.

Well one day he got so mad at me for correcting his opinions on the laws of physics that he threw a shit fit. He started screaming at me and actually said the fallowing...

''SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY, IF I AM WRONG JUST LET ME BE WRONG OK? IM ALLOWED TO BE WRONG AREN'T I?''

to this date... probably the stupidest thing i've ever heard.

oh my god... I've gotta try that

also my one friend thought it would be a good idea to punch me in the gut full force to get my attention, he got 120 minutes of detention for that because you do not mess with me and get away with it

Unless there's no teacher/authorative figure around, huh?

Stupidest thing i've ever seen? The sales records for the Final Fantasy series since 1997.

I saw a video of someone who covered a hockey puck and one of their friends hockey pads in gasoline and lit it on fire and shot it the hockey puck at him.

i didn't actually see this, but it was the first thing that occured to me.

one of my mother's friends had decided to light a barbeque with petrol. he layed the foundations of the fire, got a small spark going, and then backed away and swung the open petrol can at it.

it doesn't end there. after the initial burst of fire caused a big black line to appear across his lawn, he then proceeded to do it again, because he somehow missed what happened the first time.

how he avoided any injury from this is a mystery to me.

Says the guy who read about half of my post, and from the looks of things, read it WRONG anyway xD

It was a pan of boiling OIL, and really, people who've been cooking for years can still leave a pan on by accident and chalk it down to basic human error, people who pour water onto boiling oil to prove that it's hot are just pure idiots.

I'll explain it again just so it's clear why my dad's the idiot in this story...
Boiling oil + water = Tower of raging fire
So if you're hand is above it pouring the water, you'll get scolded and more than likely burn the ceiling and/or house down, like a dumb-shit. My dad however, lucked out and to this day probably thinks he was in the right.

there are supposed to be gaps between your commas/full stops and the word that comes after them.

sorry, i don't normally do this, but that one just stood out at me.

I was born into this world. That was pretty damn stupid.
