  • xDD I'd probably say messing up my keyboard with soda. And I had a password for the Administrator account, and since like, half the keys were all messed up I had to guess. For thirty. Stinking. Minutes. Until I got the password right.

    And then another time, I messed up a keyboard so that the a key didn't work. Whenever I wanted to use 'a' I had to copy and paste it from somewhere else. XD Sad.

    Took out the circutery, placed in a few fireworks, lit them, and ran away as quick as I could.

    That's how I got rid of my old Mac. XDS<

  • Made the WASD keys really wobbly/scratched/faded from playing too much CS.

    Not really "stupid", but embarrassing nonetheless if a person sees it and knows what I've been upto...

    CS really drains your life =ω=.

  • Definitely would have to be looking for a keygen for WinZip [I know, pathetic, but I didn't feel like reinstalling the trial although the trial does restart from the beginning of 30 days if you reinstall it], and then downloading an obvious trojan downloader program.

    Ahhh. I had to run cleaners for at least three days.

    It was a long time ago since I used WinZip, but doesn't the trial continue past those 30 days? I remember the countdown taking forever (You are on day 31,896 of your 30-day trial period).

    The most stupidest thing I've done to my computer must be never formatting the C: disk. My old computer worked as a charm for 7 years, without any need for formatting or re-installing windows.
    It was a bit slow, but it worked.

    A few things:
    1) Spilling a cup of coffee on it. There are openings in the top, so coffee just went right into it.
    2) Knocking it down while it was on a stand.
    3) My chair repeatdly knocking into it while it was on the floor
    4) (I was younger) I tried doing something I saw on T.V. When it had an error, I hit it, really hard too.
    5) eating various things at my desk, causing crumbs and all that to go into my keyboard. Very disgusting to me..
    6) slamming the keyboard when my computer froze.

    I was trying to organize the forest of wires that are around my desk, and I found a wire I didn't recognize. (Yes. I recognize every wire by color, thickness, and texture. Yes. That is sad.) I was like, "Hm. Maybe it's the spare phone line."

    So I pulled to get it out.

    Hm. It was stuck in the wirehole pretty good.

    So I pulled harder.

    And harder.

    And harder.

    Until I heard something "Click!". Apparently, I ripped one of the cords inside the wire that led to the power source of my computer. < <;;

    Hmm, in an attempt to free up space on the hard drive, my younger brother decided to delete everything on c:/ including program files, windows etc
    Now the computer sits in the corner gathering dust. :P

    Honestly, I have no idea. :laugh:

    I presume he went into the local disk and deleted most of the folders one by one. Not all the stuff went I suppose since files would be in use, but teh ones that boot up etc.... all gone. After a few restarts, he came and told me it 'wasnt working'.

    Eitherways given up hope on fixing that xD
