Aw, come on admit it. We've all done really stupid things. I'll tell you something I did to start this out.
I had to send for a tutor program from the internet to teach me how to program. It cost $50 plus shipping and I was so excited when I got the disk that I set down at the computer and hurriedly put the cd in the computer. But I fumbled the disk and i ...[text shortened]... rolled over the cd! :'(
When I told my friend what happened he couldn't stop laughing. ðŸ˜

When I was young we lived across the street from a park. The park had a set of monkey bars -- the kind where you just swing yourself from rung to rung. Some kids also managed to swing themselves up and sit on top of those monkey bars. Well -- one of those kids was my brother -- who's younger than I am. That simply wouldn't do, of course, that my younger brother could do something (aside from playing chess) that I couldn't do. So I decided to try it. I was 8 or 9. I remember standing on the top rung of the "stairs" and holding onto that first crossbar. And I remember ... waking up on the couch, and a doctor was there. I fell, and had a concussion (and a life-long fear of heights and falling). I did eventually manage to do it -- once -- just to prove I could.
Hey, maybe I can blame my brother for this, for being cheeky enough to accomplish something (a pattern, as it turned out) before me! 😲🙄
Now then...if we are talking about embarrassingly stupid things,then I can add one... I had been out for a couple of drinks,came home and decided to come on here and play a few games of chess....all good ...until I made a dumbass move against an opponent, and as soon as I had pressed "move" I thought I could pull the plug out of the socket to prevent the move going through.... hmm now thats stupid!

When I was a few years old, I tried to cut a very tiny piece of wood with a circular blade saw running at full speed. My dad was working in the garden at the time and his face turned white. It was a good job my mum wasn't around, she really would have freaked at my dad for letting me almost get my hand sliced off.
When I was a bit older, I pissed on our ma ...[text shortened]... e hospital. Turned out I had stretched one of my ligaments and was on crutches for a few weeks.
