So it's a convoluted story I'll tell tomorrow but I ended up eating a hot Cheetos fragment that was sitting in my inkwell for a day and only got cleared because I spilled water on it trying to figure out why my Xbox controller didn't connect
Think id rather drink poison and don't ask me why I saved the fragment it was there to be deposes of because I dropped.it 6 hours earlier and placed it there to bin it
one time i tried to lever some dirt out of a 5 gallon paint bucket with a shovel, on flat ground, and drove the bucket directly into my shin with the full weight of my body.

After taking a keg back for the deposit buying a handle of cheap whiskey and a 120 pizza roll bag then going to the park and doing ninja warrior. Not all of us ended up in the river.
Oh man, where do I even start. My life is nothing but a series of dumb fuck ups!
One time I was driving an earthmoving tractor along a slope, and I panicked when I starts to slide and tried to throw it into reverse. This was possibly the dumbest thing that I could have possibly done, I should have either rode it out or just pointed the front end down the slope. End result was I jacknifed the trailer and the force of that plus the slide tore all the hydraulic linkages off the back of tractor, about $200k worth of damage
In the game Pharaoh the little delivery guys, if your warehouses were full, clicking on them would have them say "No-one can accept these goods! That's okay, I can use the rest" which for the longest time I thought meant "I can use the rest (of these goods)" and this confused me for the longest time because they wouldn't actually like, eat all the food they were carrying, they'd just sit there waiting for a warehouse to open up and only much much later did I realize they meant they can use the rest as in taking a rest because they're just sitting there not pushing a heavy cart around.
A long time ago I was on a date with a girl, and at the end of the night she asked if I wanted to share a taxi.
And I responded with "but we live in opposite directions, I'll get a separate taxi".
Took years before it hit me
I've told this story before but once a much younger me got asked out to Olive garden for dinner and it was February and my hands were cold so I was rubbing them together at the table and the date asked if my hands were cold and then took my hand and placed it immediately between her legs
So I giggled and removed my hand and then we went back to my place to play rock band awkwardly for like a half hour they left because extra wrinkle is this date had a friend with her...
So this is the story about how Uriel could have lost his virginity to two women at once but totally biffed it.
One time I did not realize that a lady liked me until, after sending me a song she had written about how she liked me and how I didn't seem to notice, she clearly and frustratedly spelled it out for me.
"This song is good! It sounds a bit like The Weepies!" I said.
"Okay. Look here, dipshit..." she replied.

This thread is triggering for me. Making me suddenly remember all the dumb embarrassing shit I’ve done in my life that are not really at all dumb or embarrassing but will keep me awake at night thinking about them.
Once as a teenager my friends and I were doing some backyard wrestling as you do, and we decided it would be super awesome for one of us to do an elbow drop or something off the roof to another kid on a table. And seeing as we were dumb teens aside from all of the other stuff wrong with that idea, we also didn't think that they you know use special tables and shit for it. So I go to try and do a frog splash other kid wises up and moves out of the way, and to my credit I actually hit the table but that shit was sturdy and did not break. I on the other hand did lol.
One time I was putting some prints in some picture frames late at night, and somehow I managed to break one of the panes of glass into quite large chunks, like more than a foot across. So I stuck the glass in a box, in the middle of the living room, a few feet from the couch. And then about five minutes later I got up from the couch to get a drink and walked straight into a dagger of glass poking out of the top of the box, slamming it several inches into my leg.
Anyway that's how I found out the local emergency room was only open 6am-10pm.
I tried putting a futon together by myself. One of the zip ties holding the spring loaded hinges broke while I was fastening the hinge to the frame
It snapped shut on my fingers
My fingertips turned black like instantly, I couldn't get the hinge open one handed, I couldn't get enough leverage to get the spring
I couldn't find my goddamned phone or car keys
Thankfully my parents were on their way over to help me set up my new apartment. And my mom walked in like five minutes later and we went across town to the ER.
I still almost lost my middle finger because it took so long to check in and longer still actually be seen, whatever RN I eventually saw was very angry and nervous that I would lose my fingers since no one told anyone why I was there
It took a few days to get feeling in them, but they're fine

I used to have a raging heroin addiction, which I think counts as pretty fucking dumb
but because of said addiction, I have a lot of stories, like the time I called a gangster's violent bluff and he did the "haha, this white kid's alright" thing
I was sleeping in a 'bando (abandoned/empty building to squat in) and got woken up by a couple of other people because a pretty sizeable rat was just going around the room checking us out, no fear at all.
I grabbed that fucking thing by the scruff of the neck and threw it out the window and yelled "come back tomorrow after we leave"
when I was a kid me and a friend jumped off the roof with some toy nunchucks because we wanted to see if you could float to the ground if you spun them fast enough
I'm guessing sprained ankle and a mild concussion from nunchuck-helicopter head injuries

Dumbest thing I've done that makes a good story: while on a game reserve hearing something that made me think "Huh, wonder what that could be, sounds like something being killed" and walking towards it, and being chased away by a very upset mother lion.
Dumbest thing that doesn't make a good story: probably DUI of magic mushrooms.

so at a warehouse I packed a bunch of big gallon+ tubs together on a pallet. Think it was mostly acetone for a textiles customer.. Took a while but I tetrised it up, they were all different sizes but I aced it, fit everything on 1 pallet
I spent my whole lunch break going 'must remember to bind them. Must get ties and poly wrapping ont he pallet I just spent the morning filling'
Anyway I didnt and I just tried to forklift it instead
That was my first mistake. And instead of thinking 'ooooh fuck I better just slowly lower it back down' nd accept that a few things might fall off..
.. I decided to try and bind wrap it while it was elevated a few inches off the ground by a forklift

One night at an ungodly hour, me and a buddy were walking home from a party. Somebody from a third story apartment shouted down to the sidewalk, *Shut the fuck up, [slur]!"
My distaste for homophobia overwhelmed my reason (and/or I was very drunk), I shouted back that I probably wouldn't be taking his advice, something along those lines. He said, "If you don't shut your [slur] mouth, I'm coming down there!"
I said "If you think I'm a [slur] and you're coming down here, shouldn't I open my mouth wider?"
He said he that was it, he was coming down, I chipperly said, "Bring it on, motherfucker!"
And then I toddled merrily on my way, my friend peeled off to his place, exchange instantly forgotten.
And then at the end of the block a VERY angry middle-aged biker, a real Sons of Anarchy type, sprinted up behind me, spun me around, and began choking me like Homer Simpson punishing Bart.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

Teeth are important folks
One of the many implements I chose was a 8 inch cooking knife.
I succeed opening the bottle, but the bottle was not the only thing I opened that time.

I actually hate this because I have nothing memorable from my childhood to look back fondly on or recall over drinks. It kinda sucks!

Still having extremely vivid flashbacks basically every time I close my eyes the entire past year
Oh wait this is for fun stories right?
I used to walk home from school in the middle of the day without telling anyone I was leaving

It's probably because I'm a homeowner who hates plumbing but this one made me cringe the most so far.

I poured caramel down the kitchen sink.
Turns out it was the screw holding the bath drain pipe to the bath
So the bath did drain, but into the living room below
