Stupid things you've done...

Got my dad arrested at work

We were building a granny flat at the end of our garden and things were arriving by the truck load and I was just signing the receipts like crazy. One of which turned out not be be a receipt, but a court summons for a traffic fine my sister got, but didn't pay. (She borrowed my dad's car). A fine he knew nothing about...

So the police rocked up at his place of work and arrested him in front of everyone. I locked myself in my room that night.......

Rode in to a barbed wire fence on my Chopper when I was 14. Hurt like hell. Especially when I had to pull myself off the fence, after getting multiple punctures at weird angles. I swear you could hear the sound of flesh tearing.

Possibly.

Nevertheless, I admire your spirit of Daring Do and your disdain for lessons, reading manuals, and all that.

You must be a bit of a mad bastard though.

WHS

Puts my eating slightly old fridge food into a cocked hat...

As a tennager, modded my bike with a huge set of cowhorn handlebars. Was riding downhill through some woods and tried to follow someone else (with normal width handlebars) between two trees. Bike stopped dead - I didn't! Superman!

There was also the time we put a huge French Exchange visit banger in a milk bottle and re-invented the fragmentation grenade.

Many years ago working in a lab there was an old piece of kit that was never used, lots of dials, knobs, lights etc. In a prominent place was a socket with a small plate above it saying '500V DC', in a passing moment I wondered 'is this thing live?' and poked it with a finger.

You can guess the rest...

This one had me giggling at the picture...

I once went to St Martin in the Carribbean where I spent 90% of my time wandering round in swimming trunks. One afternoon after taking a siesta I wandered into town to get a drink and started getting funny looks. Odd, I thought, I've been in my speedos all week without so much as a raised eyebrow so far. Then, when I sat down in the bar I saw why - I was in my undies. And these were underpants -M&S white Y fronts; not the sort that could be confused with swimmers

That one made me laugh out loud...

I dropped a soldering iron & caught it by reflex.

By the Wrong End.

I hate the smell of burning flesh.

I did the same thing, actually heard the sizzling sound before the pain kicked in.

After working away long term mental ex gf chef and I decided to go for a short holiday break.

I woke up in the middle of the night in a boutique inn and heard a floorboard creaking and someone creeping around the room.. being half asleep and very confused where I was I assumed it was someone robbing the room so I screamed "get the f#ck out of my room" and threw a half full pint of water at the shadowy figure.

To my surprise I hit the target and so cautiously turned on the bedside light.. ex gf chef was sat quaking on the floor in tears and a bruised head.. she'd simply gone to the loo.

I know what you feel. Those water sports can easily get out of hand.

I guess that you went back to separate holidays after that as you couldn't get insured together??

Well the obvious guess must be wrong, because you're still with us.

(unless you're someone posting with a ouija board, or it was a low amperage)

Don't know what the current was but it had a helluva kick, my arm was numb for hours.
