The dumbest thing I have ever done thread.

[jmiller676]

Dang... I don't have any stories nearly as good as y'all's. Blowing craters in the lawn, building rockets, jumping go-karts? Sounds fun to me!

Best I have is, when I was about 6 or 7 I found my grandpa's old BB gun in our garage shortly after he moved in with us. It looked EXACTLY like the toy gun my friend down the street had, so I started playing around with it. We were not a gun-owning family, and I'd never been educated about them. Luckily, all I shot was the house across the street before I realized it wasn't a toy gun.

I guess oops doesn't cover that eh?

Let's see about this one. I have had serveral lol. The best one would be my senior year of high school me and a buddy thought we had a great idea/plan for a senior prank. One night we decided to go through with it. I had a key to get into the school. So we went to our high school with 300 paint balls each and used them on the inside. Needless to say come Monday morning when we got to school their was a state tropper there and we knew it was gonna end well. They didnt press charges aslong as we paid for the damages and janitors overtime to clean it up. It was like $750 apiece. Which really sucked while workin at Long John Silvers makin $6/hour but it all worked out and a lesson well learned.

Using charcoal lighter fluid to rekindle a fire in a woodburning stove. As practical as it sounds don't try it.

This is a bittersweet comment, but I can relate.

Senior Pranks. HAHA I forgot about that. I have two of them to share. One prank just wasn't enough.

First prank we did was let 5000 crickets go in the school library. We got away with that one.

Second prank we did, we had a classmate who's father owned a fireworks store. He could get ALL the good stuff. So we had these smoke grenades that were the most powerful you could buy at the time. We chucked them down the main hallway of the school and ran like hell. The fire department came, the police came, and I nearly...well nevermind that...anyway, we thought we got away with that one too, but someone ratted us out and we ended up being with in-school suspension for the last two weeks of school, plus Saturday school on graduation day. (This was in the day of not pressing charges.)

Man, it smoked up the joint.

Basic training night shoot. I was third on our line and proceeded to firing position and began firing. The first shot shook me. I (who was a fairly experience shooter) wondered why my M16 sounded so loud just because it was dark out. I continued firing and by my second mag realized I'd been shooting with no ear pro and it was that not the darkness making my head explode every time I pulled the trigger.

I've done other less than intelligent things, but I'll take the 5th on them...

Dumbest thing I ever did was one time I posted something dumb I'd done on the internet.

I see what you did there...

I dont think Ive made it a day w/o doing something dumb.

I once ripped a tag off my matress that said do not remove under penelty of the law...

statute of limitations is up on this one. When I was about 10 years old I decided to take my sisters Cherry Pontiac Phoenix for a drive in the neighborhood where i was seen by several people who knew my folks.. It was summer break and both my parents worked so I was forced to stay with Granny up in Muncie to stay out of trouble. My dad had several boxes he had there from growing up. As a curious youngster I was anxious to see what the oldman had up there. Sure enough I got my paws on a 22 revolver and some ammo. I had never shot a handgun at that point in life. Eventually I figured out how to take it a part and load it. Once Granny headed for the store I took it ouside and discharged 6 rounds in a Muncie neighborhood. That weapon didnt leave my side the whole time there. Thankfully Granny nor myself ended up with a cap n our azzzzzz...... Sad thing is that aint even close to the dumbest thing ive done..

Set a company truck on fire while buring trash. It was a Dodge so it actually ran better after this.

On a training dive, instructing students in the finer points of underwater navagation, our group bottom time was coming to a close. Looking up I could see the boat bottom, after all this was the crystal waters of Cayman Brac. The head count was made, everyone there, so the signal for accent went out. Standing on the fantail Iwas buzy helping divers out of there equiptment,and started to hear the rumblings of laughter.
Inquiring what the ruckus was about, I noticed we where on the WRONG BOAT!
