Marriage doesn't count.
Post the thing you look back in your life repeatedly, not just once, that could have your life in minutes or seconds.
Me? Bull riding (or falling off of spectacularly).
I got it in my head to get my PRCA card and hit as many local shows as I could. Ate a lot of dirt for a year or so I met a particularly ill tempered one that I had no business getting on. After being slammed into the gate, getting hung up, and touring the entire arena a couple of times while attempting to untangle myself from the angry bovine, a fine fellow managed to get me loose. And my retirement began.

turning down sex...the fear of being another one of those people in high school with kids was terrifying.
It was probably a good thing though, as the chick got soo angry she would tell me she was gonna hang me from meat hooks :noid (what a nutbar eh) shortly after I found out she was bi, which had me kicking myself even more as I would sometimes see her in school being "walked" by her girlfriend wearing a leash and collar(yes we are still talking about a person) and she was into some crazy stuff as you can tell by now. The other told me she wanted to rape me....I was a youngster and this made me feel kind of awkward. Sometimes I still wonder what could have been though :(
also going to work drunk is pretty bad too...still trying to figure out how I never got fired for doing this at least once a week

Wow I didn't think this was humanly possible for a man! :rolleyes:
Well ok I did it once too but it was a drunk co-worker and old enough to be my mother. So that doesn't count probably?
My dumbest thing that I've done more than once is definately speeding and risky passes on road. Especially when I was young I drove like a maniac and in retrospect I'm glad I survived those times (better yet, never caused an accident). Nowadays I follow the speed limits only with the exception of passing 18-wheelers where sometimes you just need to gun it a little. But one pass like that with a patrol coming on opposite lane and it's bye bye license and bye bye job.

Wheelies on motorcycles... Two fairly painful incidents.

I've been biting my fingernails for six to eight years now :confused:

Skateboarding the El Cortez Hotel pool in San Diego about 10 years ago. It's a nice tear drop shaped bowl with split gutters and coping that sticks out about half a foot, with a nice smooth transition that goes slightly beyond vertical as you approach the split gutter. It's a pure front side line bowl, hardly any good backside lines and as a goofy foot, I am more comfortable skating backside than frontside. After a nightmare commando infiltration into El Cortez (had to scale a 15ft wall, run across a roof and then jump down a series of electical boxes to get to the bottom), we got to the pool and suited up to take our rides. I took a fast frontside line to pop up on the coping for a little smithy grind over the light but was way too fast and when I did a small pop to get on the coping, I ended up launching out of the pool about 5ft above the pool deck and came straight back down in the deep end, which is 15ft and landed on my shoulder, seperating it. After I recovered from it and finished physical therapy for it, I went back to El Cortez and tried the same line and again was too fast and again got caught on the spit gutter but this time I didn't launch out of the pool and back into it, I just flew off like a bullet into the pool wall, smacking my head and getting a concusion and then kind of bounced off and landed in the deep end again but I had put both my hands out to break my fall, snapped both wrist and got a real bad cut when one of the wrist guards I was wearing snapped on impact and a piece of the guard got stuck in my wrist.
Quit skating after that, at 30 I was too old to keep getting hurt like that. Now I only putt around on my long board to get smokes from the gas station on the corner.
ack-ack

Well, I haven't done it twice yet, but right now I'm participating in "No Shave November" which is as the name implies, a thing where no guys (some girls :uhoh) don't shave for the entire month of November. My first year of actually being interested enough to do it. Should be called "Itchy Face Month." Jeez.... Seriously though, I don't know if I'll do this next year, it is so aggravating.
Oh yeah, I can honestly say that to my knowledge, I have never done something stupid twice, I am a very quick learner. :devil
-
This is the perfect thread for me. :pray Well lets see I touched one of the bug zappers and my arm went numb for days. I touched a really hot pan from the stove, it marked me for life. Went sledding, with a hole between the legs. I payed for dinner and a movie. Ran into a tree plus a mailbox, running. I ordered a hamburger with out cheese. Redd a book that was for women. I said hey dude to a girl. Fly was open. Had to stop my cousin from saying bomb in an airport(FAILED). Forgot to get my Mom a gift for Christmas.
Many, many more. Probably the worst one was, getting into a car while my sister was driving.

same married woman 2 times. 2nd story window and hubby came home early both times. HEY!! i was only 20.

Buying a new motorcycle (Crotch Rocket) when I was 18 just after high school graduation. My first bike ever and I almost died many times. If that isn't bad enough, after having it for a couple seasons I started doing wheelies regularly out of stoplights and on freeway entrance ramps. Glad I sold it and when I get back into the motorcycle scene I'll be going for a touring bike or small cruiser.

Nice one AKAK, didnt know you ever skated. I got a skate one too.
Mildly fractured my left wrist and elbow going to fast down a hill and getting the wobbles till it threw me off. Cut my head open too but didnt notice till on the way to hospital. Then two weeks later while wearing a plaster cast I fell off a handrail when the board slid out from under me, landed on the rail on my back and fell over backwards and quite badly fractured my right wrist trying to protect my left one. Absolutely retarded. The casualty staff already knew me by name from my childhood and they just laughed at me the second time and gave me another cast. I was 16 and had to get my mum to wipe my butt for 2 weeks.

My two are similar, but at opposite ends of the spectrum. The first was putting up with an a-hole boss for nearly 10 years. Shoulda knocked his lights out years before but argued with myself that I needed the job, which, btw, stunk.
The second was actually knocking the lights out of my a-hole boss. I shoulda just told him to stick it - instead, I broke his jaw, knocked out two of his teeth, and broke his nose. All in one shot. It was epic.
Thankfully, he took the first swing, flailed and failed, and I had witnesses, so I didn't end up getting sued. I did lose my job though, but in hindsight, it was ok - it stunk. Turns out that a few years later, the guy they hired to replace me pounded him almost as bad, so I guess for once it wasn't me...lol.

Started smoking in college, quit after college. Now I have started again. The cigar shop down the street has really good and cheap-ish cigars.

I rode my bike down a steep hill and hit my front brakes only. 23 stitches and a broken bicycle. Doctor said if I hadn't have been wearing a helmet I would have died.
(I think I was more upset about the bicycle than the stitches)

What if you still do it? :uhoh

Forgetting that vicodin makes me paranoid (allergic to it). Then getting vicodin again after an accident then calling the doctor and accuse him of trying to poison me and hiring my neighbors to spy on me. That lasted two days. I still see the same doctor and everytime he jokes that my neighbors will tell him if I don't take my mess as prescribbed.

I didn't punch my manager, kudos to you for that! Instead I got em' in a head lock and didn't release em till his body went limp, in my defense the guy picked me up and slammed me against a wall so i had to retaliate (we didn't really get along), he hardly acted professional though as he would talk watermelon to me everyday. Not to mention even if my work was done and I would be talking to a lady pal, he would send me to do bs busy work asserting his authority so he could talk to em' instead. BS :mad:

I use to race dirtbikes semi-pro, was sponsered by a local Suzuki dealer and ran an RM250 all around the east coast. One weekend at the races had a really bad crash (2 broken legs, wrist, and 3 ribs w/a punctured lung. That weekend I got my 1st helicoptor ride :aok. Took about a year and a half off and got right back into it. Second race back in, was hit by a guy while we were both in the air, landed on top of my bike, and his bike on me. Broke my collar bone, 3 ribs and fractured my pelvis. ( 2nd helicoptor ride )
I realized after that, that 3 would not be the charm. ( coupled with the fact that my dad told me if i decided to get back into it, i wouldnt have to wait for a race to get hurt, he would take care if it for me. I finally realized why I was a "semi"pro :D.

Gave it two shots and discovered I stink at it.. of course fishing in a toilet bowl and expecting gold nuggets wasn't exactly 'smart' ;)

Snapped and shattered a $500 fluorescent light bulb trying to install it into the lav on my airplane. Then did it again on attempt number two after I cleaned up the mess. Said F-it and told our mechanic to do it because I "saved" enough money for one day.

Where the hell do you guys work where your boss tries to beat you down?? :O :headscratch:

I jumped into the ceiling beam in my house once. :rofl That hurt like hell. There is still a dent in the beam, and I think there might be a dent in my skull as well.

Thinking that I could use parachute cord braided together to rappel down a 75 foot cliff...first time ended badly with just scrapes and bruises...second time ended up much worse by knocking myself out as I tumbled down the cliff.
These were separated by about a week each time. I had to have time to rebraid and prepare the second length of para cord. Second time was with 6 lines instead of three...it still snapped at the D ring I tied it all into.

My skull seems to be some sort of blunt object magnet.
As a small child, perhaps 5 or 6, I was playing with a ball in my father's auto repair shop. There was no work going on at the time, no machinery running, et cetera et cetera, but my ball rolled under an engine that was suspended 4 feet in to the air. I went to retrieve the ball, bent over, picked it up, and must have misjudged how high the engine block was above my head, as I stood up with quite some force, smashing the back of my head against the engine. I was taken to the hospital, and given several staple to close up the wound.
A few years later, at perhaps 10 or 11, I was riding my bicycle around the block. Taking my eyes off of the area in front of me for a moment, I failed to realise that there was a small children's wagon directly in front of me before I was within some 4 feet of it. Not wanting to fly over the handlebars after the rapid deceleration of my front wheel, as Tupac experienced, I attempted to bail off of the bike to my left hand side. Since I was traveling at a decent speed, I stuck my arms out to break my fall against the asphalt, but still managed to make contact between the road and my face just above my left eyebrow. I must have skid on my face for a good 4 inches. This, however, was not the worst part. Somehow, my bike had continued to move towards me at a slow rate (I assume by flinging myself from the bike, I removed most of its kinetic energy). By now my body had come to rest a good foot away from the bail-site, and the bike creeped up next to me, and fell on me, sending the left handlebar through my unprotected skull. I walked home in a daze, thinking that I had escaped unharmed. Somewhere along the way home, I figured out I was bleeding profusely, and began to panic. I rushed home, probably accelerating the bleeding. I was again taken to the ER for staples, though this time many more were necessary. The doctor said that I was lucky I was able to get back up to get help immediately, and not knocked unconscious on the pavement, bleeding from the head.
To this day I have a deathly fear of anything that travels at anything faster than a brisk jog, and will not ride a bicycle at high speed, nor without a helmet. :(

Ok, so I had a neighbor that I used to hang out with all the time right?
Somewhere around us being 3-5ish ( i was lil bit older) we were riding in one of those eletric cars from walmart. Well, somehow we managed to flip it in the ditch.
Around 8-10 we were riding his four wheeler when somehow my pant leg got caught in the back tire and literally snatched me off the atv. I went forward first and hit my friend so hard he went off the side with me. Then the atv proceeded to drive over one of my legs. Hurt like a mofo!
Around 13-15 we flipped a golf cart. Dont know how, dont remember why, just remembered the top of that thing striking my forehead.
Im 18 now, and I still refuse to ride in an auto mobile with him! :rolleyes:

Like Mbailey said I raced motorcross growing up and have more stories about wrecking than I can remember. But I never got into anything in the dirt worse than a concussion and a trip to the hospital with suspected internal injuries..black and blue stomach was ok afterall.
But, on the road I wasn't so lucky.
Accident #1
In 2006 I was riding my motorcycle to work and slowing down for a left hand turn...Dodge dakota came screeching up behind me doing about 70mph..he slammed on the breaks and hit me doing about 45 prolly...
But It felt like a train hit me and i went under the front of his truck sliding for about 60FT...before I got my leg from under the bike and rolled out (rubber on my facesheild from his front left tire) he almost ran over my head.
(broken right foot and ankle...Herniated disc in lower back) the guy had 190ft of skid marks total I got lucky to survive this one...
Accident #2
Then about a year later I am riding my brand new bike on some country roads and I see an amish buggy. The buggy was about 20-30 feet past the 4-way intersection I was coming up on, there was no stop sign.
So I keep my speed the same, about 40mph and go to pass the buggy on the left...just at the point of no return the buggy does a U-turn and decides they wanted to go left in the intersection they just passed.
I hit the horse with my right shoulder and started tumbling rag-doll like down the rode and slammed into an embankment....my bike went straight into a telephone pole guidewire.
First thing I noticed was I couldn't breathe...collapsed lung and was bleeding internally..
I spent 4 days in the hospital and enjoyed a 12 inch needle through my ribs to re-inflate my lung in the ambulance.
Long story short I still ride and put about 6,000 miles on my new Triumph this year :D
Stay safe if you ride, don't speed and never expect anyone to do anything but try to kill you on the road :salute

I bet that was probably the first horse/motorcycle accident they'd ever seen.

going in excess of 160 mph on the interstate when my "Dar-Buster" (improvised radar detector) was going off like mad.

Bought a Call of duty game, i'm about to do it again too.

well i just looked at this thread for the third time...does that count? :devil :neener:

Well the one of the dumbest things I've done. Is mix all these little chemicals together. Smelled terrible, but tasted like old pizzia. I put this one little set of mixed chemicals together into a little glass tube. Two months later I looked at it and there was a little creature inside. The cap was sealed tight to. It looked like a dolphin a inch in lengh and about half that in height. I still have it in a little air tight tube. There's eyes a tail and fin I'll show you pictures of it. Turned out wasp really liked one of these combined chemicals and swarmed my shower. Evantully all of them went in the toilet and died.
Another one is eat my Grandmothers cooking. She gave me this jar of jam one day. Still closed shut, it had fur growing on the 3rd day and smelled like wine. My dad had a stomach problem for all his years as a kid. Gave my Aunt food poisioning on the first bite.
Last one is snowboard down a 9,000 foot moutain, with less then 1 hour of time even on a snowboard, let alone ride it. Rammed at least 50 bunnys, 30 trees, 10 bushes and my sister. The next day I was little ralphys brother in the movie the Christmas story, when he can't move his arms. Just think of me being him. That reminds my first airsoft gun, shot my self in the eye barely on the 2nd ammo clip."You'll shoot your eye out kid"

Oh yea another dumb thing i've done a couple times is argue with people on these forums... and we all know what they say about people who do that. :eek:
....they're studs
-
Hmmm dumbest thing I think I've prolly ever done.......run into a burning building.....oh wait, that's my job.
But I will say, I think listening to my crew chief on Jan 16, 2009 was probably the dumbest thing I did. Because I listened to my crew chief I ended up wrecking the Crash Fire Rescue truck that I was driving by means of bouncing it off three concrete poles. Luckily I didn't get into any trouble because the cause was environmental as it had gone from -50 degree temps at the beginning of the week to +50 degree temps at the end of the week so there was black ice on the ground underneath running water that I didn't notice. So I pretty much wrecked a 3/4 million dollar U.S. Air Force fire truck and got away with it.
