The 'stupidest' thing you've ever done?

[noseybuddy]

[

This next one is by far the worst and I have not told this story to many people. You men out there may not want to read this. The first time that my “friend” came to visit my mother gave me a package of pads that she had bought for me. I don’t know what I was thinking, but when I peeled the backing off of the adhesive strip I proceeded to stick the pad onto myself instead of to my underwear. Need I say more?

I keep thinking and laughing about this one. I am giving you 1st place for the Stupidest thing you've ever done.

Cooking related story here.

I was making an oven roast, the kind where the directions said to put a little water in the bottom of the pan. It said that if the pan was becoming too dried out, add a little more water. Okay. Well, it NEVER said that the water you add should be hot so...

I took the roast out of the oven, decided it was not done and a little dry, so I poured some cold water onto it....

Seems that cold water + 500 degree pyrex roasting pan = explosion.

Who knew?

The pan litterally shattered and spewed across the room, and the roast beef shot up in the air. The pieces of the pan melted the floor tiles in a scattered pattern throughout the kitchen (and are still prominent...dang we have to replace that floor.)

The roast beef landed in the dog's water bowl.

Of course, we had guests in the next room who all ran in all concerned and yelling "What the heck was THAT?"

I still get asked for my special recipe for Exploding Roast Beef.

I blew up teh cooking spray making pancakes. Maybe we should get together and cook a meal. I'm sure between the two of us we could destroy a house. (you know I'm just kidding)

About a month ago I backed out of the garage straight into my dh's car. There was no damage I could see and I didn't tell him. Shhhhhhhh.

Right, you and I can cook in hard hats and bullet proof vests. LOL.

Okay, this happened in my previous life as a career woman.

I worked downtown and my company's parking lot was a good block from the building. There also was a train track between the lot and the building. This particular day, I was running late (as usual), and panicked when I heard the whistle of an approaching train. I got out of my car in a hurry and ran across the track. Ahh, made it!

At the end of the work day, my friend and I were walking to the lot and, as we approached my car, we heard the quiet hum of a car engine. In my rush to beat the train and get to work on time, I had forgotten to turn off the car. My car had been idling all day. I had remembered to lock it, though.

My friend had to drive me to my parents' house so my dad (who had a copy of my car key) could drive me back to the lot and unlock my car. It's a wonder my friend and I didn't get in an accident, since she was laughing so hard she could hardly drive.

I am almost crying from laughing so hard about this. Too funny. Thanks for the giggle!

I was *bad* and put on restriction for a couple of weeks during my freshman year of HS. Parents wouldn't allow me to go on an out of town trip with the band during this time. I decided I *was* going and sneeked my majorette outfit out of the house and changed into it at school. All the band members and chaperones boarded a train and headed to the state capital to perform at a function where the governor was appearing.
When I returned home, my parents met me with stony silence. Seems I had been spotted on the *NEWS* throwing my baton high up in the air! More restriction!

Also had to take the blame for wrecking a brand new car my parents bought for me. It was better than admitting I'd allowed a *14 year old boy* I hardly knew to drive it!!! Oh, I've done some stuff!

Well......


There are to many but...


Running around a city I didnt know and when we jay walked (My friend is from france and won't use crosswalks) sceaming our heads off


Or sitting on top of a 10ft skate boarding ramp, sliding down on my butt, my feet stopping me and me doing a front flip down the ramp.


Going to "Big Beach" with my friends which has about 8-15ft waves and purposly eatting it...Lol

streaking when I was in high school and my friend's neighbor saw the whole thing!

I didn't do this one, but was there, my friend had just gotten her license, and we went to McDonald's. She had a hard time pulling into a parking spot, and hit the car next to her. To make matters worse, it was a police car!!!

That's easy: a home bikini waxing kit.

Denise < --- could totally relate to the chest waxing scene in "40 Year Old Virgin".

Oh. I was putting away dishes and dropped them on my head (I was little with high racks) got many stitches.


Me and my friends decided to make a regular slide into a waterslide then do a chu chu train down it. Well, we flew off and landed in the dirt and the girl behind me bit open my head...

I was cooking rice in the microwave instead of doing it in the glass bowl I did it in a glad container. Well, lets just say 10 minutes of microwaving on high later it wasnt the same

I have a blowing-up-while-cooking story, too.

I was making a caramel pie, where you boil unopened cans of condensed milk. I fell asleep and awoke to a BOOM. One of the cans had exploded and blew caramel all over the kitchen. I had to reach around the corner and push the pan off of the burner, because I was afraid the other one would blow.

We were newlyweds, and hubby worked a second job at night. That was the one night he got off on time. I said, "Sweetie, I blew up the house!"

grabbed my ds's sweat pants out of the dryer one morning and hurridly got him dressed to drop him off at preschool. he keeps complaining "they itch, they itch", i tell him "it's just the tag, ignore it". we walk into preschool and in front of teachers, students and parents he puts his hands down his pant leg and pulls out one of my bras yelling "see mom i told you it itched!"

a girlfriend was cast in a play in the dead of winter that called for her to wear a 2 pc. bathing suit. (this is pre tanning bed era). on opening nite she realizes she is going to look like a dead, pale corpse under the lights so she grabs 3 tubes of Q.T. tanning lotion (remember "q.t. tans in 3 to 5 hours with or without sun" ) and talks 2 of us into covering her head to toe in the gunk. SHE WAS FLORESENT ORANGE FOR A SEMESTER AND A HALF (our hands fared better after repeated washings for several weeks).

another friend decides for spirit week in highschool that her clown outfit will be complete with green hair (she was a toe-head blond). so she grabs what is handy-green food coloring. she was shocked when it would'nt wash out ("it always washed off my hands when we used it baking"). she had green hair for the rest of the school year (and, oh yeah-her dad was a state senator running for re-election that year, so you can bet she was'nt in any of the color campaign photos).

Back when I was in college and living in my sorority house, I got the job of cleaning the hallway and floor. It was the only section of hardwood in the house. I got the bright idea that I'd polish it so it would look nice. So what did I use? Pledge. Who knew that pledge was that slippery???? It took at least a full week before any of us could walk on that floor without sliding! I'm lucky they didn't kick me out!

I blew up a can of cooking spray on the stove and nearly killed my mom. A ball of flaming oil was sent flying across the room to where she was standing just a few seconds before. the room was covered in oil. THe can is still lodged in the celing.

I mixed up the dishwasher soap and the regular soap. need I say more?

I nearly blew up the vacuum. I forgot to empty out the dust container and it got full and started making a really scary sound. I emptied it out fast!

I was cleaning and I carried down some plates from upstairs and I sliped and got 87 stiches.

There are so many more, lets just say that I'm not Domestic in any sence of the word!

Yes, as your mom, I can say that the Pam incident was by far the stupidest thing you have ever done. Don't forget to tell them that when the can blew up, it shot straight through our kitchen ceiling. Oh, your might not remember that though since you were noticing the large fireball shooting towards your mother's hairspray soaked noggin!

There isn't enough webspace to tap out all the stupid things I have DONE, let alone choose THE stupidest!

One year we when I was about 16 or so, I think I just started driving or something. It was 4th of July and dark and at the center of our local firework show. Well, there is a FOUNTAIN there! I felt a step, so I stepped up, next thing you know, I am IN the fountain, because when I stepped UP and tried to WALK, I realized I was on the EDGE of the FOUNTAIN! I got wet, the crowd got a show and me being the "entertainer" I am, stood up and took a bow.

I trying to think of something i have done that is funny but i do have a funny car story to tell.

DH and I were at the drive in. This was the old style drive in with the speakers still hooked up to those cement poles every 12 feet or so. We watched in amazement as a teenage girl proceeded to somehow drive up next to the pole and then back up and get the pole wedged between her front tire and the wheel well. After much discussion she tried to back up and unwedge herself but she ended up pulling off the entire bumper and front of her car. We just stood and stared at that train wreck.
