What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?
 
What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done/ thought that you feel comfortable sharing?

Probably a tie between staying in a toxic relationship/going back into said relationship knowing that it would never change, multiple times, and not realizing that my Mother was having a stroke.
From the outside, looking in, I believe those instances would be considered stupid by a vast majority but each just feel like casual bumps in the road of life to me.

Spilled chocolate milk on the tv when I was 8. It may have been an accident, because I didn't think it would spill by putting my cup of chocolate milk on to of the tv, but nope it spilled and completely ruined that tv pretty much forever... that was definitely dumb of me to decide to do.

Depends...stupid when I was probably too young to know any better, or stupid when I was old enough to know better and therefore objectively stupid?

For the former...I slammed my finger in the front door at my old house because I didn't want to go out the back on my skates. Nope, I wanted to go out the front door, because it was faster. I slipped on the steps as I was closing the door and caught my finger. Damn near took the top of it off. It didn't hurt, surprisingly. But it was an extremely stupid thing to do even so. Cue mother panicking, several hours in hospital for stitches, and a couple of months with my finger bandaged up. I didn't get to go swimming that summer, and I adored swimming...but it DID get my out of sports day, which I hated. xD

More recently - well, it was about 8 years ago now - when I was unsure of my gender identity and very confused about various things, I decided to have a voice call on Skype with a few people I thought I could trust. One of them recorded me talking and spread it around on the forum I was on, where I had deliberately kept it a secret. That was...not fun.

You mean I have to choose just one stupid thing, out of all the numerous monumentally stupid things I've ever done? This question's too hard.

Ah, crap, now I gotta add that to my list, too.

Either breaking my own foot and doing soft tissue damage severe enough to stop me walking for over two months... via standing on my own foot or the other week when I accidentally took about three times the usual dose of my sedative medication because I mistook it for an antihistamine.

Ok but being more serious, I've always had an urge to make everyone happy, and it's come to bite me in the ass at times. Especially as a kid I wanted to impress my peers by stealing, getting in fights, etc. I realize now that I just need to be myself, and the right people will find me.

Aslan December 30th, 2019 8:21 AM

Nothing serious but some of the stupid moments I can remember having - I had been using a bunsen burner for a chemistry assignment back in the 9th grade. I'd used a gauze mat which had been heated by the bunsen burner and for some reason I thought it'd be a good idea to straight up pick it up with my hands afterwards whilst it was still hot and I proceeded to burn a hole in my finger. Could have been a lot worse but Why.

I once also played Marco Polo on concrete - I was in and I ended up tripping over a bench, hitting my head and having to wear bandages for a week or so. Good times. I also once fell straight down a hill and got a huge scar on my knee because it didn't occur to me that running down a sandy, slippery slope at full speed wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Also random slip ups like once I was in a hotel elevator with my friends - I hadn't noticed there was another person in the back and for some reason got possessed to say "Wait why is it also going to the 25th floor?!?!" My friends lost their minds but I think the random person in the elevator was super nice about it and laughed it off. :D

That's actually perfectly understandable

As for myself, there was this time some friends and I decided to make a potato-shooting canon out of PVC Pipes because of a science project (and because we are dumb). That shit exploded like 3 times during testing and was never finished.

TheeWizard December 30th, 2019 12:50 PM

When I was younger I shot my brother in the eye with a BB gun. Luckily he was fine but damn that was dumb.

Honestly, I’ve been there with the toxic relationship part and it’s not stupid. It’s hard to break out of something like that. People promise things and you want to believe so bad that they are going to change. Also, it’s not stupid to not know when someone is having a stroke, if you’re not a medical professional I’m sure it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on.

Neon Pink December 30th, 2019 2:05 PM

I lost count how many stupid things i've done....barely remember any of it, but I know they were stupid.

Lol, I feel this on a spiritual level every other decision I make is stupid.

It was the fact that I could tell the signs but I was so caught up in my own selfishness, that I just disregarded them. It was her Birthday and ironically her death day, because of my callousness but you live and learn I suppose.

As for the relationship thing, I say it was stupid on my behalf because I actually knew that it wouldn't change. It had just been so long since I felt anything that even the sadness and frustration felt nice but eventually that grows old as well!


P.S. I suppose that I at least had the good graces of not befriending people on Tumblr? Haha I feel like I am missing something there.

I think you’re being too hard on yourself. People make mistakes. I’m sure you did everything you could’ve done. With the relationship part I’ve been guilty of that as well. My last off again on again relationship was like that. She was extremely abusive mentally and I knew she wouldn’t change but I stayed around. She threatened to gut me, kill me and hang me on a meathook, lol. So if that makes you stupid I guess we’re stupid together.

I pulled an electrical box off the wall and tried to my hit target in the head with it, but dropped it near my feet. I was standing on a puddle and got electrocuted. Of course this was in a video game.

As for stupid things in real life, I've microwaved things I shouldn't.

At my job before last I set my work microwave on fire three times. Once with an Arby’s sandwich left in the wrapper, once with a bag of Olive Garden breadsticks and the last with a box of Chinese food. Captain

Staying in touch with friends and trying to be friends with the biggest, to put it politely 'douchebags' ever in School. Regardless of how many times they called me names; caused other kids to pick on me for a short period of the first year of High school, even went as far as tripping me over, putting stuff in my hair and stealing my stuff.

I should of just stayed away from them, but they were my friends in Primary school and the only ones I knew then.

It's stupid because I made a really good set of other friends in that year, yet I ended up pushing them away because these other two friends (the trouble) suddenly thought they were the goshdarn plastics (mean girls). They basically told me repeatedly, that I can't be friends with other people besides them and if I did, they would stop being friends with me. It was honestly childish. It's bad enough I kept in contact with one of them until I left school, but it's only till recently I was encouraged to remove them from my contacts and block them. I thought if I didn't, I'd be harassed and I have a bad habit of forgiving people.

One time in our electronics class me and a friend stuck a fork in an electric socket. We were already trying to stick wires in it why not a fork right-

After that we were so tempted to do it again.

This was already far in our electronics class module. We know the safety stuff, and have heard that dumb ways to die song multiple times. I don't even know why we did it except for stupidity. :')

I'm really sorry to hear about that :( I somewhat understand that feeling. I know a lot of people roll their eyes when I bring it up, but I've felt really guilty about the way my dog and bunny died. I feel like I should've done more/done things far differently. Obviously doesn't compare to a mother (well, maybe my dog, Tachi, since he and I had the closest relationship I've ever had in my entire life) but the guilt is real and it eats away at you. Makes me feel like an absolute fool and a complete jackass for these mistakes. They're hard to move past.

Oh god, Tumblr. It's filled with crazy, entitled morons who love to backstab and be two-faced. Consider yourself lucky in that regard. Tumblr is trash and constantly coming out with the most bizarre and hypocritical politics you'll ever see.

My condolences for Tachi. I think we probably were able to grow from both of our mistakes though so there is always a silver lining! I am much more careful with the people in my life since my Mother's passing.

And wow, sounds nearly identical to Amino.

Oh god the amino. I had an amino account I used to go on from time to time. 90% of the posts are so cringe-worthy on there. You also can’t have an opinion on literally anything without the entire app getting offended.

She was a very very crazy female. Haha exactly. I know how to pick em apparently... 90% of all my tinder dates in the past scared the living s h i t out of me as well. I have horror stories for days about my dating life.
