Most idiotic thing you've ever done?

[John President]

Thought of another one...

1st semester at uni last year, I was walking underneath the diagonal concrete beams on the south side of the Redmond Barry building, on the way to a prac. I was in a good mood and had a bit of a spring in my step.

However, having a spring in your step is dangerous when you're 6'4.

As I sprung upwards, I CRASHED my head on the edge one of the concrete beams.
 
The unfortunate results: A heavily bleeding wound, three stitches and future piss-taking from mates

So, I've owned a lot of mobile phones over the years - they never seem to last long:
- sat on one and the screen cracked
-dropped another and the screen cracked
-dropped one on the road outside school while getting dropped off. It showed up again at lost property. I didn't even recognise it, it had been run over and smushed horribly.
-got a hand-me-down iPhone from my brother. One week later, it was stolen out of my locker at school -_- (the dumb part here is that for pretty much the only time ever, I didn't lock my locker)

spelt wore with a 'h' in it in a semester essay marked by an external examiner.





I got an A+.

You're 6'4?? that is massive..wow

I'm only 5'3

This post really reminds me of all the dumb things I've done.

Another one was leaving my bag in the tsfx building on Collins while I went with a friend to Melbourne central to grab some Latte. I left my purse in there too and so was robbed of $45.

I honestly believed that no one would take anything of mine, like why would you want to steal...idiot -.-

Sometimes I feel the need to chew drinks when I drink them. Its the idiotic behaviour I cant get rid of.

Yesterday while I was running by the lakeside, my iPod slowly slipped out of my hands and it was falling towards the lake but I had the chance to pull the direction away from the water by yanking the headphone cord (don't know why I did it anyway, was too far from the edge). I felt like such a coordinated hotshot for a few seconds and was thinking 'BOOYAH saved my it from drowning' before realizing that it hit some jagged rocks, causing the button to be forever unpressable and the touch screen isn't even responding anymore. -.-

Edit: Also, is this thread dead? It was rather amusing and I'm sure we've done more idiotic things that we can share.

On Thursday at School, I couldn't undo the lock on my locker, the combination didn't seem to be working. So I sought out my head of house how has the master key, but he was unavailable. I spend 20 minutes trying to find someone who can open the lock. Eventually I do, she opens the lock, and I'm greeted with the sight of someone else's books..... I'd completely forgotten that I'd changed lockers from last year I ended up 35 mins late for spesh.

This wasn't me but I remember a kid in grade 3 who got stuck horizontally in one of those spirals in the playground.. I honestly don't know how that happened.

Haha, in grade prep, there was a bridge in the playground and there must've been a wobbly plank or something because some kid got his head stuck in the bridge and the fire brigade got called in to saw the bridge in half...Then in grade 3, in the playground, there's a cubby house and of course, some other dopey ass kid gets his head stuck in one of the windows and the fire brigade is called in..

Speaking of grade three..in grade three I was going through this phase were I really, really, really liked spies so when the AIMS test rolled by and I reached the essay section, I thought, "Sweet!", promptly proceeded to ignore the given topic and just wrote a story about the life of a spy.. Bet the markers were confused...

Although this certainly isn't the most idiotic thing I've done and it would probably struggle to make it into the top 10, I do enjoy telling it.

When I was young my friend and I lacked the presence of a trampoline, so what better to jump on then a bed, right?

Long story, short, I jumped sideways, fell through the window beside the bed and landed in a rose bush - damn my luck...

The most idiotic thing I ever did involved an ambulance and consequent hospitalization, but I'm not going to go into details for that one 

Hey 911, its Quagmire.

Yep its stuck in a window this time.

I have done this multiple times throughout high school, normally at the moment when it costs me the most, I still have nightmares about it......
2+2=6
Three years in a row I did that on a maths exam, the first time it was on the last line after a whole page (and I mean a whole page filled) of maths and it was the only thing that I made a mistake on. Everytime it happens now I try to forget it, but it still comes back to haunt me.

Probably not the most idiotic thing I've done but I KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN!

HAHA! I guess everyone has those stupid math mistakes that you never get over.. for me:

My friends and i had been waiting for a train for about 50 minutes (it was sunday when trains dont run as frequently). So the train finally comes and we literally step just inside the first carriage and im like 'it's too full let's go to the next one' but instead of using those doors that join the train I step back onto the platform as do my friends, and the doors close. And the train leaves.
So we had to wait another hour for the next one.

Lol my friends were quite annoyed at me after the inital laughter 'that we had been on the train, yet stillmissed it' faded.

In Year 7 science while the teacher was out of the room. I thought it would be a good idea to turn the gas tap on and put a match in front of it.... BOOM instant flame thrower  I'm not going to lie it did look pretty cool. Wasn't the most idiotic thing I've ever done, still pretty bad though.

@callum: lol what happened later on? what kind of trouble did you get into?
