I'm talking about personal experiences. The few fails in your life that have made you need a third party facepalm....






There is one such instance in my past that I'm pretty embarrassed about, and I was going thru an old hard drive and found the evidence, and thought it'd be a good starting point for a thread, and id like to share my dumbassery! So, here it is!


A few years back, I was off out with the lads, when we used to go out with the express intention of finding female company in local taverns. I was running late, which is unusual for me, so after a quick shower, shit n shave, I was getting dressed.

I'd bought new clothing for the occaision, I'm not a girl, honest, however one has to look and smell good when one is hoping to impress any females. I had a really trendy zip up hoody-track top I'd bought, cost a pretty penny too, and it was brand new.

Anyway, I put it on in a bit of a rush, and was just leaving when I noticed, in the middle of said zip up top, on the chest area, a big, Fuckoff, obvious crease. I was pretty pissed, as I'd gotten ready pretty fast, and was just about on time. So I thought it'd be a good idea to iron my top, while wearing it.

I zipped up the top, turned the heat down on the iron, in case it burned, and to be honest, it was going rather well. I remember thinkin 'I'll have to do this again!' I did the arms, and stomach and then the chest. The crease was proving a bit tricky, so I, naturally, as you do when you have a tricky crease, pressed the steam button.......

To say it hurt was an understatement. I dropped the iron, burning the carpet too in the process. I had to sort of peel off my t shirt, which also hurt like hell. And after a day or two, this is how it looked...





I still went out that night, the alcohol probably numbed the pain!


So, has anyone ever done anything as stupid as that?

That's a pretty good one Paddy.

Failure to heed the advice of a cowboy that lived in the mountains I was visiting, very nearly cost me my life. Determination, loads of sweat, a cool head, the vision of my kids in my head, and just maybe a little push from God, got me out of a pretty serious jamb. After I showed up, hours later, the cowboy, who was pretty rattled and thought I was gone for good, would not speak to me for the last 3 days of the adventure.

I'm sort of a go big, or go home, personality... and it's about killed me 3 times. Two of the tales have been told very publicly, so details are not available here.

Let's just say - Lesson learned. I'm a bit smarter, and aware of mortality today than I was a decade ago.

Back in school I had a similar issue.

We were in tech class - don't know if it's the right word in english, but basically we draw blueprints and did a bit of computer and electronic stuff - and we were trying to build a little music box from scratch. We were at the stage of the circuit board which, of course, involves welding.

At one point, I was so absorbed that I decided to take the soldering iron without leaving my eyes from the circuit board. A few second later I understood it wasn't a good idea as I turned around and saw that I was holding it from the hot part...

I spent the rest of the class with my hand in the sink ^^

I did a similar thing with metal tongs while holding a test tube over a Bunsen burner. Found the end I was holding was really warm, so decided to pass them to a friend, by grabbing the hot part I was heating up.

I still have a slight scar.....

Glad to hear that.

Is your story really so unusual and identifiable that you cant give any details?

I do something retarded daily.

I haven't got a sweet big story, but I'll work on it.

Last night I made chicken wings in the oven. I put on an oven mitt, pulled out the tray, and realized they were stuck.

So I switched hands with the tray so I could use my right arm to pry em off. My left hand didn't have an oven mitt. Long story short, I burned my hand, and I'm stupid and shouldn't be allowed to cook food.

I have so many that I actually have an archive of them online.

Since I can't post any of them here, instead I'll mention one from last week.

Short version, I was very involved in what I was grinding and noticed I was getting hotter than the sun warranted. Didn't really want to stop grinding though, so didn't check to see what was going on. I did finally look down when it started to get a bit painful and discovered my pants were on fire.

Sadly this is far from the first time I've set myself on fire. No permanent damage done though.

I guess that's all relative to what forums and publications a person reads, but, yeah, in detail, it would be a unique story that's publicly been told. Aside from snowmobiles, deep snow, high elevations, some very sound advise.... and my failure to heed it, that's about all I have to say in this forum.

But for the sake of the thread, one of my more recent boner moves was thinking that I was big enough, tuff enough, strong enough and intimidating enough to subdue an out of control horse in close confines that was scared out of it's mind. Grabbing a loose lead as it came at me at a gallop in a closed barn, I quickly learned that 250 pounds of me, is no match for 1100 pounds of equine panic attack. Eventually knocked off my feet, and under hoof, in a corner with nowhere to go, thinking "This just might be the end of me..." the horse just stopped and stood there, as if all was right in the world. And I mean perfectly calm. No explanation for it at all, except my guardian angel.

Fairly well beat up from the experience, I learned that sometimes it's best to just step out of the way.

I once told a big group of people discussing dumb things the outlines of a story about how I did something really dumb, but then was all like, "Guize, I cant tell you what it is because my superhero identity will be revealed and probably will lose my topper-than-top-secret security clearance"



Also, one time I had a threesome. It was awful.

Quote:
The 3some... explained. sorry it is so long - but you lot did ask. I though as this place has got a bit serious and heavy, I'd finally cheer you up with another of my epic fails. The 3some:

The first excuse is I had just split with my girlfriend, and being shallow - needed to move on... fast. And I had an all expenses hotel room for two bought and paid for by my company.
But first - let me explain about Ashley, the victim, uh - I mean woman. She was a friends mum. Back when I used to sleep over at my mates house as a kid - I was 10 and thought she was hot as ****. I used to wank obsessively thinking of her. In their bathroom was the laundery basket and I swiped a pair of her knick-knicks. Droped em on my face and proceeded to 'fire the custard cannon' inhaling the mushroomy sent.
Problem was I was in the friends house who's mum it was, and we were in bunk beads. Russel, the friend below me was "Uh..... what you doin??"
I forgot he was there...
"I'm, er, having an Asthma attack. Stop talking you are ruining it... Oh and cover your eyes!"

The friendship ended when I wiped my arse on his pillow.

Fast forward 20 years or so, and I am in a hotel in Leeds. Very, very pissed. As I said I was recently single, so invited my mate Bulldog along. For those of you who know Bulldog, I asked all my proper mates but was too short notice. Bulldog fell off his bike as a kid, and has lots of scarring on his head where hair doesn't grow. He looks like he got chewed up by a dog - hence bulldog. I am drinking to forget the choice of idiot I have brought with me - Bulldog eating his normal diet of pills!

The conferance at the hotel I was staying at (why I was there) - so was rammed with women, and I am hitting on every single one. I was on about my 25th '**** off' - then.... "OH MY GOD - is that you... it IS you.... hi yoooooooou"
Ashley - Russels mum. Time had not been kind to old Ashley.
She told me about her difficult break up... she said I hadn't aged a bit, but she had as she has liver failure, leaving her skin sallow.
Me - pissed, told her I used to wank over her at 11, and stole her panties.
So I am flirting, getting booglie and being a ****.
She - to my total shock is flirting back.
So, me, being all sensitive said:
"How about you come upstairs and **** me and my mate"
She said....."OK"
(didn't expect that)
.................................................. ......"Seriously??"
"Yeah - why not" says she
"**** yeah" shouts Bulldog
"Shut up Bulldog" says I

So then, it turned in to a game of chicken as we walked to the lift.
"come on then" I said as I started walking
"OK" she said... following me
"I'm serious" I said.
"Me too" she said.
"I'm not joking" I said
"Good" she said.
"Me too" said Bulldog
"Shut the **** up bulldog"
I remember thinking 'Oh **** you've done it again - say your joking and stop this!'

By now - we had got to the lift. I had sobered up real fast. I am beginning to think this is a bad idea. It was a joke. After the Banana lady - I leaned that fantasy is better than reality. But I called it, and had way too much pride. You gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em.
In the lift, with its harsh overhead lighting - she was not pretty, sagging skin and yellow liver failure eyes. In the mirrored walls I could see Bulldong shuffling about with excited tension, playing with himself through his trouser pocket. It was repulsive, right there I should have hit the alarm button and ****ed off.

So, we get in my room. Of all the things you have read about me, this was by far the most awkward moment to date. My old mate's elderly, liver failing mum, drunk. My junkie mate looking like he is going to have a stroke and grinning like Forrest Gump, touching his **** through his pockets. And me. All looking at each other like a western gun fight is about to start. Nobody actually tells you how these things get going, you just start making random small talk.
I said "Chilly today isnt it"
Bulldog: "Huh??"
Ashley: "what? thats not very sexy"
I remember this next bit, as it is one of my epic FAILS. I had to say something sexy, and wild, but didn't know what to say - all nervous I honestly said the following.....
"Uh, yeaaaah..... my dick feels like corn"
corn... CORN?? what the **** was I thinking, corn? I panicked and said the first thing t come to mind and it was corn. Lucky for me - she didn't miss a beat and said "Yeah, let me put some butter on it"
....and thats how it started

Bulldog was so amped his head went red with all the scars white, So - I thought, **** it - get in first. We started kissing. Even that was awful, it was like a hovercraft drove over my face. Bulldog unbuttons his shirt, I get naked in a flash to beat him, go for the kill, bend Ashley over - cos I didn't want to do it face to face as she looked just like my 10 year old mate Russel - but with a vagina.

I plumb it in, so far so good. I am hammering away. For a short while it feels good and you forget the circumstances. I open my eyes and Bulldog right next to me - looking right in my face. Grinning. I didn't put any music on, so the only sound was like a dog walking through mud, only wetter, and my idiot mate right up in my face. So I whipered:
"**** off"
"What?"
"**** - off"
"**** yeahhhh"
"No - **** off"
"My go!!"
"What"
"Gimme a go"
"I just started"
"Im gonna blow - let me go"
with that he shuffles off in the corner and I can see him out of the corner of my eye getting undressed 'FFLAPP' there was a wet slapping sound, as if someone hit Bulldog, I snap my head around to look... '**** MEEEEEE'
It was Bulldogs ****. It was ****ing huge. Like a comedy rubber, foot long, lady slaying monster dick. The noise was as it swung and slapped his thigh!! He then starts wagging it about, trying to get blood in it cos it is too big to just 'wood up' like a normal-un.
You know that old footage of the girl in Viatnam - running down the street naked, all burned from Napalm and screaming - that is how I felt right there. How the **** am I supposed to compete with that? I am flapping a sub-standard baby dick and he is packing a monster!! I know us guys are insecure about the size of our *****, but **** me!! This ugly, ****ing fat retard looking idiot, is swinging a giant **** about.

Now, let me just clear up the size issue. It matters. A lot. Trust me. Want to know how I know? Go into a sex shop. All the dildo's are thick 9+ inches or more of monster ****. Never has a woman gone "Uhh, yeah - do you happen to have a sub-average size dildo?" Would never happen. NEVER HAPPEN. The only time you could by a **** my size, all small and ugly with an awkward kink in the middle would be on a key ring. And it would be a joke.

"my go" Bulldog says again
I hadn't realised I had stopped moving. Just standing there, losing my erection while looking at his - and still in mates mum. So I pull out. Something about my idiot mate and his giant **** killed the moment for me.

Now - you think everyone ****s like you. You base your basic '**** technique' on porn, medium speed regular half second piston-like pumps. Well.... they dont. Bulldong as I now call him is naked but for shoes and socks. Still wagging it like he is going to smash her about the head with it. He closes in behind Ashley... Him grappling the monster with both hands, it so big it would bend in the middle, Flop out and swing around. He'd grab it again. it was like watching a guy try to post a python through a letterbox.
Then Ashley whent ooOOOOOHHHH **** yeah - oh yeah.

Needless to say - she didn't say anything like that with me. I felt sooo ****. Curse my button mushroom-like ****. I didnt want to be there and my pride had just been flamed.
Then he started ****ing - christ it was awful to see. Grunting and squeels, and hammering away like it was a race, like three hits a second machine gun on auto, frenzy ****. Bulldog is a big fatty fat, fat. He looked like a giant baby with a monster ****, ****ing my mates mum. An image I will never forget - and the most traumatic I have yet to see. All I could think is 'I forgot to make noises! Are you supposed to make noises? He's doing the sex noises and she seems to like it - not only has he a fantastic **** - he does noises!'

After only about 4 minutes Bulldog starts making loud grunts, pulls out the massive beast, it slaps on her back 'thud' and he then blows his load - all over her back. He then, like cave man, went 'Uunnhhhhhnnnghhhhuuuhhhhhhhhhggghh' and flopped on the bed, like a grizzly bear shot in the ass with a tranquilizer dart.
I honestly thought, when pulled it all of that out of her - her liver would have shlopped out with it, hanging there like a grey flesh yo-yo.

So - there I am. My freak mate, naked but for shoes - asleep on a bed. My mates mum bent over expecting me to perform, and me, in a hotel room. I wanted to die.
Ashley looks over her shoulder at me "Come on baby - **** me - gimmie that corn"
I look at her pussy. Bulldog had ruined it. It was huge and stretched out of shape like she had just given birth. I could have stuck my whole hand in her **** and flipped a coin!!
How the hell am I going to follow that??
So I position myself behind her grab her ass, and eyes shut, I am thinking of as many sexy things as I can. Just get hard - ignore whats going on, even morning piss-wood would do. Me trying to **** her right there was like pushing a marsh mellow into a kebab. I'm as hard as jelly. Then my hand slips......................... Bulldogs Junk is all over her and I have just put my hand in it!
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRGH'
It looks like a badly iced ring doughnut. So I grab her skirt, pretending to massage her ass, and scoop it out of the way. No - nooooo nooooooooooo NO!!
I have another mans cum on my hand. I was either going to me sick or cry.
I just stared at it, horrified. I must have been there a while, as she turned around. I didnt even see her get up!!
She then started to blow my tiny baby **** - and that took my mind off it. Infact, a blowjob will pretty much take my mind off anything. I had restored some pride, as I was now sporting just under 5 inches of solid ****. It might not have been a giant like Bulldog's but you could have prized open a steel door with it.
So, Ashly bends over and I'm in. It's OK - feels good, I am doing the noises, working away. She is making noises - probably sympathy noises but who cares, I am ****ing.

I was just getting into it, blocking out what I have just seen by remembering the best bits from my porn collection.
'Bang'
something hard hit the wall. I was all 'What the **** was that?' I look about, and it was a shoe. Bulldogs shoe. Did he throw a shoe at me? "Bulldog what the fuuuh....."
I look over and he is naked - socks and shoes now gone, and he is doing something.
He has his back to me, but I can see he is up to something, fussing hard doing... something.
So absorbed at what he was trying to do - I stopped moving again. Nothing prepared me for what I was about to see.

Bulldog turns around. His **** looked even bigger but horrible! Dark purple and blue, bulging with veins. All swollen, I though it might explode. Around the bottom, he had tied his shoe lace!
"Bulldog - what the ****??" - I look at the shoe that hit the wall and, as I expected - no laces.
"Make shift **** ring" says Bulldog. Standing there - with his **** presented with a big shoe lace bow at the bottom. All the skin where tied was puckered up and white, then bulging twisted viens and engorged. It was grotesque, like a giant purple gherkin.
How the hell did he get hard again so soon? Must have been 5 minutes...

So again I am out. Bulldog - eyes bulging, just ramms it in. And then goes ****ing nuts.
****ing like a psycho, angry ****ing, grunting and shouting.
"Uhhhhhhh?..." I am standing there like a ****
Bulldog gets worse and starts making animal noises and biting her neck - Ashley looks scared. He is biting hard - I can see the tooth marks, and hammering so hard I can see AND HEAR his turkey-neck nut sacks mash into her ass.
I try to grab his attention - and whisper "Bulldog"
"Nnnagghh ahhhhhh, uuuuugh"
"Bulldog"
"GNhhhaarrr, uhh, UUUHHH, Arrrrrr"
"BULLDOG"

He looks up - only one eye open like a crazy ****ed up pirate. All red n sweatty with glowing white scars. It spooked the **** out of me. So I screamed. Like a little girl
"EEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh"
I have no Idea why I screamed - probably fear, but I am sure I had never screamed before. It was loud enough that Ashley stood up
'Shhhlop' over a foot of Bulldog fell out.
'What?' said Ashley.
Me - feeling an even bigger **** "Oh...nothing"
So, as Bulldog was standing there, already, she sat on the edge of the bed and tried to fit the purple monster in her gob.
I had become a spectator. So - I tried to tell em 'I fold - I'm out, **** this, you are both ****in freaks' but what I actually said was "Err... hellooooooo?"
With that Ashley flopped the giant **** from her mouth. It looked like she had been drinking mayonaise, stood up and tried to kiss me. Right after smoking Bulldog's mutant pole! **** THAT!! She got close enough that I could smell Bulldog's onion knob stench on her breath! So I pushed her off - harder than I meant, she fell back onto the bed and bounced off, onto the floor, smashing a lamp. Letting out the loudest fanny fart I have ever heard 'Phhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrflp' I am sure it splashed my face.

Enough was enough. The whole affair was a nightmare. I grabbed my jeans and slept in the car. Nothing like porn. Not even close!

Never again.

When I was in 4th grade. We had this elaborate playground at our school so for recess even in the winter we would go out and play on it. Well attached to the playground were monkey bars but they sloped. The idea was the climb up the bars from underneath to get up on the playground. There weren't a lot, maybe 6-7 total and it was about 5 feet off the ground on the very top one. 3 feet from the ground to the bottom one. Well one day in February I decided lets climb on top at the highest point and walk down them one at a time. That worked well for oh about 2 1/2 seconds. Until I slipped and went face first towards the lowest part. Which was all fine and great since the lowest part was farther down then where my feet were giving me extra time to gain as much speed as I could. I don't remember it hurting when I hit because I knocked myself out. I remember coming to, I don't really know how much time passed after I hit but two classmates were carrying me towards the school. I remember just dripping blood on the floor as they took me to the nurse. It took 10 stitches to close up where I completely lacerated my lip on the left side of my face. I had one more inside my mouth where I bit through my cheek. I had to have a major root canal from an endodontist when I was a Junior in high school. Fun stuff though, My wife thinks my scar is hot. Must be cause she thinks I had balls then. I also ran into a pavilion post when I was five. Cut open my head just above my right eye. 6 stitches there.

Pantsman, reminds me of when I was 8 and running beside some friends, looking at the friend. Just as I turned to look in the direction I was running, the lights went out. I ran into a sign and totally cold-cocked myself. Woke up, covered in blood, sitting in a chair. Between there, and the chair..... no memory.



EL,
Funny stuff. Even the sarcasm.

@ EL- I knew that was the story after like... the first sentence. I've been internetting for too long...

I'm gonna take a page from BMA's book.

I too have done some hilariously stupid things. Man, this was a good thread. Glad I contributed.
Can I get a highfive?!?!

If I come up with a real story, I'll post. But I think I spend my life wallowing in the "moderate stupidity" and don't have any extreme instances. At least, off the top of my head.

I was out drinking at a well known Irish drinking establishment in the heart of Birmigham a few years back. After getting wrecked on alcopop infused lager (I was in my late teens and open to any alcohol experimentation), I was naturally sick and vomited in the toilets. The eagle eyed doorman spotted me and informed me I'd have to leave, as I'd obviously had enough.

Not one to argue with a 6'9 wide bald dude I agreed and left. I headed towards the local cab office. While walking and texting a girl I was seeing at the time, I walked straight into a road sign. Smacked my head right on the corner. Luckily nobody saw it, however it gave the guys in the cab office a shock, when I walked in with my forehead dripping with blood.

I'd not even realised!!

They glued it int he hospital, and I've got a little scar right in the middle of my hairline.

I'd be lying if I said I never burned my hand exactly like Honda did.

Probably one of the stupidest things I ever did was trying to boat race a dude in conditions that were nowhere near safe for boat racing. This dude was in a bigger, offshore style boat and he could easily handle the choppy conditions. My boat is a light-weight boat primarily used in flat or near flat calm water. Like an idiot, I believe that there's no way I'm gonna let said dude in his big money cigarette type boat beat me, even if the water was rough. So I race him and pass him and while laughing at him in his very expensive, not really fast boat, I momentarily stop paying attention to the water in front of me. I look back in time to see a large roller making it's way towards me. I hit the roller at a high trim altitude and launch straight up in the air. I figured I was gonna get tossed from the boat but it came straight back down on it's transom (back of the boat). I broke the seat i was sitting in and got a bit pannicked but thankfully nothing else broke and i was uninjured. Never again.

I haven't posted in this thread yet because while I have done some stupid things, I'm not sure I can top some of these. (Like Davey's boat trick)

Since I tend to view everything as a competition and the title said stupidEST thing you've ever done, I assumed it would escalate until someone
told the story of how (on a drunken bet) they drove a nail through the head of their penis. We'd all have a good laugh and go home.

As I was going through the lengthy list of things I could post and not coming up with the winning story I figured i would just post some anyway:


I was driving a medium size truck for my job at the time and I returned to our office and parked it for the evening. As I was walking away from the truck I remembered I had been hearing some noise from the brakes. Without thinking I decided to feel the brake disc to see if it was worn or scored.

Shocker. IT WAS FUCKING HOT!!!!!!!

I actually heard the skin on my fingertips sizzle and about fifteen seconds later I felt........the pain.


On a side note, It's amazing how, when it's dudes telling the story, alot of them seem to include getting burned.
