Spoiler: Yeah yeah

I saw this on another forum (which shall remain nameless because of our anti-advertisement rules), and thought it was a funny idea. And there's probably other threads from a while back like this but whatever, I haven't seen it in the time I've been here so chill. We need more General Discussion crapola.

What's something you've done that's so incredibly stupid, you feel guilty about posting it here? Hurt yourself a stupid way, did something horribly embarrassing, lose a lot of money on something dumb, etc.

Keep it PG-13 or less, please and thanks. Also, keep it funny or lighthearted. i.e.: Car accidents are only funny if you're not super hurt from it.



Here's one of mine to start you off (no, not the worst, but it comes to mind when I think of embarrassment):

When I was in high school I occasionally had to walk home because I was always late to the bus. One day when I was walking, a set of the "cool kids" was across the street. I saw them glancing over and gossiping to each other so I tried to look as cool as possible.

I got so absorbed in my walk and my facial expression I stopped looking at the sidewalk, tripped on a block sticking up or something, and fell forward, flat on my face.

It wouldn't have been so bad except I bruised my nose, and all the "cool kids" started laughing. What was worst was that they started calling me "Klutzy" the very next day. Whee

Post yours.

I was working in the Kitchen and I went to open the freezer door. I was feeling rushed and swung the door open as fast as I could. But I was standing to close and the door smacked me across the face really hard.
My boss laughed at me for a sec but then realized I might be hurt.

When we was in the cinema watching a scary movie (Silent Hill) at one really tense part my dad shocked me by shouting BARRGH (or whatever sound a monster makes) and shaking me, I freaked out so much I ended up screaming :s

Everyone in the cinema started looking at me :'(

I've already said this in the "stupidest game", but it's gone so...
I got overly drunk and apparently accidentally shot a gun at my at the time girlfriend, but had somehow forgot sometime after passing out hours later. She started avoiding me and I swore she was cheating on me, only to find out the above.

Fun.

Not to be critical but shouldn't this belong in the games thread?

 

[Venetia]

Forum games are for asking people to come up with silly things to say to a silly thing. General discussion is for real things, but put sometimes in a humorous way.

Since some peoples' things may be long/a little serious: no, it's not a forum game.

@ Sixty: Yeah it was never the same between us after that :'/

(lol)

I never do anything stupid. XD

One time, I was at an outdoor party, and I saw this attractive girl who was serving pizza to everyone. She asked if I wanted a slice, and I said, Yes, I want some ... and instead of Pizza, I said something else and managed to stop mid-word, and saved myself. But luckily nobody heard me or I don't think so. I got my slice and sat down in corner somewhere traumatized. To this day, I am so relieved I didn't say it.

Another stupid thing I did and do sometimes still:

Sometimes when I am in a rush, I walk quickly and you know how corridors have corner sections? Well in my haste, sometimes I bump into that corner, and literally bounce off and fall down. Very embarrassing.

One time, on a date with a girl who I was nervous to be with. we were in a cafe, and as we were exiting, I suddenly got really nervous and very self conscious and when I'm like that, I can't think and I lose my composure. The door and the wall near the exit was made entirely of glass. I reached forward to open the door but fumbled badly, and couldn't open the door. After what seemed to be eternity, I realized I was grasping at the wall, not the door.

The Stupidest Game
It already exists... but this might not be necessarily the same. The forum game is trying to top other peoples stupidity. I think this is meant to hang a different clout?

Ah...here is one from when I was around 10 or 11...

I was in the middle of drying off after a shower (already dressed mind you, just mainly using my towel to dry off my head..). Right next to the sink there was a lamp without a shade, lightbulb on and exposed. I made a stupid mistake of shaking my head after dropping my towel. A good bit of water got on the lightbulb. I didn't pay any heed to the annoyingly loud sizzle the little bulb made, and shook my head again as I clumsily dropped the towel.

I stand up after picking it up, and the next thing I know glass shrapnel flies at my face. I managed to put my towel up to my face, and the lightbulb stayed on for about a few more seconds after the glass piece blasted off (there was still some argon inside the bulb, so the filament couldn't corrode right away). The glass would have caused me to either be blind or worse if it landed just a tiny millimeter higher on my face. I feel stupid about doing that now. That will definently teach me not to fling cold water towards flaring hot items, even if it is just a few droplets. It was funny though, as the lightbulb's glass only lost a fragment. The rest of the glass was still intact except for the piece of shrapnel which rested in my towel, not even burning it. The tiny cut it made is no longer visible.

Embarrassing? This is the only that comes to mind;
I was listening to one of my brother's(very attractive.) friends tell a rather lengthy story. Right in the middle of the story, my brother told me to stop, but I wasn't quite sure what I had been doing. Apparently, for most of her story, I had been staring at her chest. I had no idea that I had been doing this, so I was quite embarrassed, as well as the girl. The saddest part is that I don't even remember what they looked like. :'(

They did that by your time in highschool? xD

*ahem*
I was in a restaurant called "Coral Cafe". I went to go use the bathroom, and when I came out this old lady gave a "WTF!?" look at me and entered the bathroom I just came out of. Then it hit me, I wondered into the lady's room... :P

Yeah... not that interesting. Kind of cliche to be honest.

Three days after getting a brand new radiator put in my car, I got into a fender-bender and bent the front clip, puncturing the radiator and totaling the car. I barely scratched the bumper of the car I hit.

I must have been ten or eleven and was trying to impress a girl by showing off my acrobatic balancing skills by doing a hand stand on the bleachers during my older brother's baseball game. I had her undivided attention and her smile but lost it after I fell off the edge of the bleachers and rendered myself unconscious. I woke up in the hospital an hour later concussed and with a chipped canine. She never even came to see me

School stories make me lol. I feel distant, I don't try to impress anyone, and stories like these make my laugh at how stupid they are. :p

Hmm, I might have a few!

There was this one time, like a month ago, actually, when I was reaching across my driver's side seat, to grab my retardedly heavy backpack in the passenger's seat. I grab the little hand on the top, and give it a good tug. Apparently, I misjudged how heavy it was (strange, since I seem to be wearing it like 24/7) and my hand slipped. I punched myself in the nose, literally harder than I've even been punched before. So yeah, nobody saw me, but that was moronic. My nose starts running, right on cue, so I think, of course, I've broken my nose, and it's bleeding. I wipe my lip, and it's just snot. Gross.

That night, I'm coughing and sneezing.

The next morning, I have a full-blown cold.

I punched myself in the nose so hard, it gave me a cold.


Actually, now I forgot the other one I had in mind... damn... I'll be back!

Edit:

OH, I REMEMBER!

I was playing in some sort of benefit concert with my old band, and I forgot to take my capo off after one of the songs, and played through the whole next song on capo 2 when I wasn't supposed to be. The sound guy noticed and turned me off about 1/4 through the song.

Was still a great show, though.

EDIT AGAIN:

A buddy of mine asked me and another guy from the aforementioned band to play at his wedding. Thing is, he didn't tell us what song he wanted us to play until the rehearsal, the day before the wedding. Now, neither of us had time to actually rehearse, but it was a song that we had played many times, and figured we didn't have to practice.

Yeah, we both, simultaneously, forgot the second verse. Fortunately, my cohort was a fast thinker and did a little solo, and we picked back up on the second chorus.

Its a good thing the groom had a good sense of humor, and the bride was, well, clueless.

EVEN MORE EDITS:
I was flirting with this hot asian girl in one of my computer science classes (one of the really low-level, required for everyone's degrees sorts of computer science classes), back in like 2003. I'm chuckling at something she said, surfing away on the internet, when I misstype the URL to the website I was going to. Suddenly, my screen is filled with what seemed like hundreds at the time of pop-ups containing every manner of homosex porn you could possibly imagine, and probably a few varieties that, well, you had to be there to understand. So here I am, hammering Alt+F4, panicking, hot girl sitting not more than 2 feet from me, and there is man-on-man action happening on my screen. They opened faster than I could close them. Closing them just ANGERED them.

Eventually, I just turned off my monitor.

She turns to me and says something like, "What happened?"

I say, "Gay porn."

She laughs and says "Ouch"

I WAS STILL EMBARRASSED.

 

[holloway]

I mentioned Rufus Wainwright infront of a group of skinheads.

The phrase "Gay lover" comes to mind and a hasty exit.

LOL, seems we guys always have the most embarrasing stories when it comes to women. Well heres mine.

There was this Hot, Kittenish girl that I like when i was in the ages of 10-12, and she was 14-16, that I liked, I'm sorry, I mean infatuated over for 2 years. I have to admit now that she was and is a Slut, but I was young and stupid. So anyways, She pretended to like me, so i went around telling my friends that I had all these bogus "close" enocounters with her. Well, I just happened to invite all these peeps to my B-day party, and guess who showed up... The infatuation of my life, and naturally my friends ( being guys ) went up and asked her if she was my GF and if all the things I said about us was true. Anyway, at that time I knew there was no way to salvage this situation, so I made my escape while it could be made, but ALAS
It was to late, the damage had been done, and soon both my crush and my frends surrounded me asking tough questions I could not answer.

So thats my story LOL, the moral is Never mess with sluts ...
