What is the stupidest thing you have done?

OK first me, I was 17 when this happened,

The stupidest thing I have done was using a shop vac to siphon out gas from my old car to put into another car. Can you believe that I'm still alive.

I don't think this page is long enough for my list

P.S. Besides, I'm not so sure I could compete with siphoning gas using a shop vac - you set a very high standard with that one !!

"Borrowed" my dad's car, then I let a friend drive it, who 2 minutes later crashed into a garage.

Without a doubt, the stupidest thing I have ever done, was drive my vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
Way back in college, where common sense is easily dispensed with after a six pack of Bud. I don't recall being filthy drunk, but I do remember driving when I had NO business driving.
I was lucky - those STUPID times could have cost someone their life, or runied mine (i.e. time in the Big House).
All those days are behind me now - thank goodness!
One suprisingly simple fact that was never paid any attention in my younger years...if you don't get drunk, you can't drive drunk!

Sign me;

Older, wiser and grateful.

I don't know if this is the actual stupidest thing I've ever done, but it ranks up there with the best of them . . .

This happened in 1992, when I was 18, so please don't be too hard on me. I always thought it was cool to watch someone put lighter fluid on there hand and light it. We would all watch it burn until the lighter fluid was gone and then the fire would go out. Finally, I got the ***** to try this myself, but didn't want anyone to watch the first time. That way, if I wussed out cuz it was too hot, no one would be the wiser. So, I casually grab a bottle of lighter fluid and a lighter and head outside to prove to myself that I can do it. Following procedure, I put lighter fluid on my hand and light myself up. As the fire starts to burn my hand (go figure), I come to the conclusion that I have put on way too much lighter fluid. Since I didn't think to bring any water with me, I do the next best thing. I turn my hand so that my palm is facing me and blow out the flames. This worked great, except for the fact that all my blowing did was move the flames to the backside of my hand. I didn't realize this until I heard the whoosh of fire wrapping around my hand. I did manage to get the fire out eventually, but not without leaving some nasty blisters on my hand. How I didn't have any scaring is beyond me.

I did something REALLY stupid the other day.
It involves a pan of gas... and a burning piece of paper... lol

I had to drain the gas from my 4 wheeler as it had water in it
Would't even run so I drained it out in a pan... plastic mind you (yes i know gas melts plastic but I was going to drain it and then dispose if properly)
Well... I drained it out, I didnt even smell gas... and it didnt look like gas... Looked like pure water
I thought "man this stuff wouldnt even run the 4 wheeler, I'll see if it'll burn with fire"
Boy was I wrong... It still had gas in it. and it caught on fire rather quickly.... melted the pan, and ran a bit into the leaves
How fun was that... racking leafs to keep it from burnin up the neighborhood.
I don't know what possessed me to do this... but it was pretty stupid
Luckily nothign was harmed in the process.
Just another stupid idea... lol

Dumbest thing I've ever done...

Used too many credit cards at one time! Dumbest thing...

Scariest thing...

Drive down a 2 way road with trees on either side of you at midnight and turn your lights off for 30 seconds. That'll freak you out pretty quick.
