We've all done it...

In primary school, I think I was about 5 or 6 at the time.... I was cutting paper for school work and as I cut down into the paper I sliced a nice chunk out of the tip of my thumb. I started crying and a teacher came over and preformed first aid on the cut. Teacher could obviously see I'm quite distressed, and to help cheer me up she asked me.... "how did you do this?", before she had time to react, I grabbed the scissors and said "like this" and sliced the tip of my other thumb.

I was in DAT (wood working class) and i grabbed a belt sander... placed change that was in my pocket on to the table and slammed the sander down on top of the coins. I really didn't think it had that much power, but it sent coins flying through out the class room. I was so thankful that I didn't have to explain to a jury how I accidentally killed a student with a dollar coin :/

My mates and I were at a park, and we were experimenting with home made fireworks. We set one off and the smallest, little spark rose up and landed in a tree, setting fire to dead kindle, with quickly grew in size. To this day, I still do not understand what changed my mind, when I was deciding whether or not to bring my fire extinguisher with us.

I have others, but I think these are the most stupid so far :p
 





Haha some legendary replies.

Glad to see im not alone in my stupidity :)
 
Tried to press an A140 diode out of an aixiz module.

I ordered a Jayrob 18650 kit and with the custom copper module. I then ordered an A140 diode and had it put into an Aixiz module (my first mistake). Not thinking about it, I didn't realize I needed the bare diode since I had ordered the custom module.

No big deal really, I have a second host on the way that could use the Aixiz module and diode, I just needed to order a second bare Diode. But instead of just ordering the second diode I decided to try and press the diode out of the module first. Not realizing how fragile it really was from that end, I ended up trying to push it out and heard a cracking sound. Taking a close look at the diode it appears that I broke the glass in the diode.

So now I'm still going to need to buy another diode for the second host when it arrives since I decided to mess with trying to press the diode out of the Aixiz module instead of just ordering the second diode which I needed to order anyways.
 
^^ epic facepalm.

Have you powerd the diode? it may still work?

That stinks. But you might get lucky and it still might work if only the glass broke. Its worth a shot unless it acutely damaged the Dia then it probably a goner.

Try and remove the Glass that broke as best as you can, and then try and see if it works.:wave:

EDIT: ^^^ Ped Beat me to it. :)
 
Free ride mountain biking on unknown trails at max speed fro the trail, triped on a sharp corner with a small drop, ended up having a 150' valley at the apex of the corner.
I fell about 20' before rolling to the bottom at around 40 mph with my bike trailing behind. I was so thankful that it was not a cliff like I was thinking as I flew over the edge :p
I'm like most here, I've got a list, but this was most recent funny one.
 
I was setting off a homemade firework with my dad's favorite backpack about 10 feet away. It was supposed to be a fountain firework, but the magnesium at the bottom spewed out at the end and melted a hole in the backpack...that was fun to explain.
 
Yessirr, worst pain I've ever felt. My legs felt like they were dissolving from the inside out.

I shot a black bear in the face with a spud gun. He was hanging out in the campsite (I was working on some buildings) and wouldn't leave.
I threw a couple of smaller rocks at him but he was ignoring me so I threw on about 6" around at him, got him in the head and he scrambled up a tree.
Went and got the potato gun but all I could find was an apple. Loaded that up and I MISSED!!! Aww, that was disappointing, I showered him with apple mash but he didn't even flinch so I went looking for the potatoes again. Finally found another 1/2 bag and loaded another shot. He had come back down the tree at this point and was wandering in the direction of the cabin I was building. That is the shot that counted...
He flipped over backward and you can see the pads of all 4 of his paws at the same time in the video. :crackup:
Not to be outdone, he runs away and hides behind the outhouse. Turns out he ran inside and chewed on the damn toilet seat cover!
Took another 3 shots, missed with 1 but he hung around for a couple of days after that anyway.
 
I was in Australia and living on "deserted" islands. Having tons of fun, playing with spiders, insects, rock climbing, spearing fish, etc.
I had gotten used to spearing sharks (great flavor with shake 'n bake) so I speared a couple of fish (about 2"X7"X16") and instead of putting them in my gather bag, I just stuck them in the pockets of my swim shorts. I wanted to attract a little reef shark to eat. I had already gotten a couple of painted crays to go with the meal too ;)
The problem was the fish weren't entirely dead... Now I have fish blood in the water, random electrical discharge from them twitching and in the couple of seconds I wasn't paying attention (I was looking under a rock for more crayfish) a little white tip races in and nails my leg. I'm trying to turn my 7 foot long Hawaiian sling spear around in the water to stab this stupid shark but try to turn a pole like that around underwater... It doesn't happen quickly.
So I drop my spear and grabbed my dive knife, my dad can't get a shot off without sticking me, he looks me in the eye to see if I'm panicking and I'm laughing.
The fish took the brunt of the shark's teeth and my swim shorts were kind of a canvas. I have a couple of scratches on the back of my leg but they are only visible when I have a tan.
*This was 2 weeks from when the water taxi was supposed to pick us up and we never have a sat phone.
I have a bunch more but I think I have already posted a couple on this forum. My friends all think I'm crazy and my girlfriend is almost as outgoing as I am ^_^

This is a pic of the shorts, they are a little torn up now but you can see the bite marks in a semi-circle

Thought I was a super hero when I was 15 and told a guy who was groping and slapping around a girl to leave her alone. Ended up with a nice knife slash in the chest and arm. Bonus stupidity: I didn't go to the hospital because I didn't want my parents to know.

Had a competition when I was 10 or 11 to see who could jump furthest off a swing. I broke my arm in the winning jump.

Thought it would be great revenge to sleep with the sister of an ex who had been spreading lies about me beating her. 4 months later, after several fights between the sisters, my new chemistry teacher turned out to be their dad.

Participated in a vodka-drinking contest in Copenhagen. Woke up in a small town in Germany with a toga on. Bonus stupidity: It was winter and I got a bad cold from travelling home in only a toga.

Seb aka dumbass
