Ah the joys of being a kid............I was 15 had a mate on the handlebars whom on passing some hot girls removed his hands and shouted, "look no hands." The things you do for a girl at that age, I decided in a split second not to be outdone so removed my hands and before I got the the "no hands" part of the sentence, we were both on the floor with sore nuts from various bike bits hitting our soft bits. ^_^.

....It is not recorded what the girls said.....

I was thinking, I havent done anything *that* stupid, then reading the replies so many dumb things came flooding back!

Probably the most amusing (to me at least) was on a camping holiday, couldnt find the tin opener so decided the next best way to open a tin of beans was with a hammer which i would use to knock the lid in. I really didnt see it coming... but it wasnt shifting and I got focussed on getting it open so hit it harder and harder until as hard as I could I smashed the lid to the bottom of the can and basically made a bean bomb that covered several people and several tents in the area :whistle:

Am I the only one wondering what you were doing in the boot of a Ford Fiesta in the first place?

Being an idiot! I lost 80% of the skin on my face, and my mum told the A&E doctors not to use anesthetic so that I learnt my lesson. By god did I learn my lesson - if I do something stupid then get Dad to drive me to the hospital :smile:

There's a right end to pick up a soldering iron, and a wrong end.
*sizzle*

I've done that. Sitting looking at a diagram of the circuit I was building, I went to pick up a pencil to make a few notes on it and for some strange reason, picked up the the hot soldering iron by the tip as if it were a pencil and tried to write with it:cursing:

When I first bought my house and had builders in to do work to satisfy the mortgage lender.
I stupidly used the cheapest quote for the builders to do the wall rebuilds and wall ties. There was not one tie fitted to any of the walls. I was aware that their guarantee wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on but I figured that they would actually put ties in given the company were called Damp Proofing and Wall Ties.

Later, when they were doing the damp proofing injections, I was doing a partial rewire of one of the parts of the house I was going to live in for a while. I told the builders the power would be off for a while as I was working on the rewire. I pulled the fuses from the consumer unit and, stupidly, left them there.

I wondered off to start pulling out old cables from under the floor so I could put in new ones and went to cut through a ring main that I had pulled the fuse for. The resulting explosion took a big chunk out of my side cutters and made me deaf and blind for a moment.

The brain dead builders, on finding that I had indeed turned the power off decided to put the fuses back in and turn it on again!

I fined the builders the cost of a set of quality side cutters and made them bring their own generator, at their own cost, for the remainder of the job. All the fuses for the house were then locked in my car each day while I worked.

Though the mortgage company were happy with the work:rolleyes: I have been re doing all the work myself to do it right. Still need to install wall ties in the front of the house and replace all the bricks they drilled holes into, and shattered, for the damp proofing.

I once accidentally inhaled half a tube of sherbert. It's surprisingly hard to breathe when you have grains of sherbert fizzing in your lungs. I'm told I went blue and passed out and my boyfriend had to wallop me a few times on my back to bring me round where upon I threw up the sherbert and half my dinner all over him. Needless to say i've never been near a dib dab again!

I do recall a girl at school who got her tongue stuck in a (glass) Coke bottle and ended up being taken to casualty.
