Even the brightest of us are not immune to doing dumb things. Call it a brain fart, a fog in the decision-making department, a moment of irrational impulse, or a ‘whatever happens, happens’-type of mindset where for a fraction of second, everything kinda makes sense, even the things that normally don’t.
So when someone asked “What is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done for absolutely no reason?” unbeknownst to them, Pandora's box of some entertaining stories was opened. Think of putting gum in your eye just because your dad told not to do that at whatever cost, or opening the door of a moving car just because you wondered what it’d feel like.
Basically, below is one hell of a ride, both hilarious and very relatable. Psst! After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous post on the dumbest things that pretty smart people have done.

Someone asked me what time it was and I lifted and rotated my wrist so I could look at my watch. I was holding an iced tea and just poured the whole thing into my lap.
I wasn’t wearing a watch.
I didn’t even own a watch. Never have.

I jumped up and (successfully) bit the string that is used to pull the attic door down. It had a metal bead on it... Immediately after I remember thinking “holy s**t I actually got it in my mouth and broke the string”. Then I realized the string was still there, but half my front tooth wasn’t.
As the best man at my wedding said “the attic string went fishing for idiots and caught one”

OK, here goes. I saved and scrimped and bought a new-to-me car. (it's a '97 but that's Movin' On Up for me). I had driven it exactly one time and let my friend borrow it. There was a brand new can of spray paint on the back seat as I was going to touch up a few blemishes. My friend saw a loose bolt under the driver's seat, grabbed the can and tried to knock the bolt back in. Photo is AFTER HE TRIED TO CLEAN IT ALL UP. Paint still on interior windows, instrument panel dash, steering wheel, floor mats, carpet, and all personal items. spraypaint...7ce909.jpg

I have somewhat the same thing. During my time at uni, every door had a security lock since there were so many expensive computer labs. So every time you wanted to go through a door, you had to hit what looked (suspiciously) like a light switch that was on the wall next to it. So every time you came to a door you would hit the switch next to it to get out. I wonder if the psychology department was using us as lab rats. BUT for many..many years while working at various offices, I would walk between rooms and randomly turn off or on lights. It was a wonderful way of announcing that my idiocy was either leaving or entering a room. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who graduated from that school that did the exact same thing...or maybe I'm just an idiot...oh wait...

When I was a kid I went into my parents bathroom. I found my dad’s razor and I decided to scrape it against my tongue, my whole tongue. I started screaming in pain immediately after.

Ikr, I can't imagine the carnage involved with that. I shudder to think how sensitive that would have been. My 1st born, a girl, at 13 months, used to watch her papaw shave and get ready for work in the morning and he would sit her up on his vanity to see. After he left for work one morning, I noticed she had left the room and went to look for her and she had somehow climbed on the vanity, gotten his razor out and started to make 2 small hesitation marks, getting ready to shave. I was extremely lucky that I didn't let her out of my sight for long and we never imagined that she could climb up on the vanity unassisted, because the razor was the old style you twist open and change the double edge blades yourself and she could've sliced herself up like crazy. It was terrifying and from then on his door was locked from the inside so she couldn't get in.

Yesterday I was using a nail gun on the trim around the windows of my house. Being the idiot that I am I decided to see what would happen if I shot a penny. The nail ricocheted off the penny, shot past my head, and ended up in the fridge behind me. Close call.

This person's an idiot and should not use powertools, or at least not unattended. My husband is like that. Can't control his impulses either. I absolutely hate that. Just recently he left a table saw ON while walking away from it (it was outside for cutting tile and he walked indoors to hand the tile to me to see if it fits). There was no reasoning and it's a push of a button to turn off and turn on again and small enough to get up to speed in seconds. So not even the slightest motivation to not turn it off. We have kids (that aren't stupid, but still, the potential consequences are just too high) and pets. And you can be friendly or get really mad, it doesn't help. Just yesterday he just tossed a small rake my way. Not on purpose, just didn't need it anymore at that point, went the other direction and that was his way of setting it aside. People are imperfect, I know, but while the sweetest hubby ever, it is cause for damage and danger and I hate it.

Microwaved a pen for two minutes in the workplace microwave. To this day I do not know why I did that. Update: I'm still at the same job. The pen was a Frixion Pilot. When the ink smoke cleared and my senses came back to me, I quickly ran across the street to Lowe's and bought the same exact microwave to replace it with. I was never caught.

One summer we were bored while my mom was at work. It was the early 80's and our first microwave. So my cousin, a neighbor and I thought it would be funny to put a whole raw egg in the shell in the microwave. I put in a ziplock. Not even 30 seconds and the egg explodes and the ziplock burst. The neighbor ran out the door and home immediately. She missed my cousin and I frantically trying to clean the scrambled egg out of every crevice and then microwaving any food we could find to cover the smell! How my clean freak mom didn't notice I'll never know. We told my aunt about it and she thought it was hilarious but agreed not to tell my mom until we were adults!

When I was in sixth grade I was sucking on the back of a pen. Suddenly the top clicker fell off, but I was still sucking. Don't know how, but the point of the pen broke, and I sucked in most of the ink into my mouth. When I felt the ink taste, I spit some of the ink out, inadvertantly spreading the ink all over my lips and hands. I put my head down hoping no one would see me. But it was obvious and a lot of students began to laugh. The teacher made it worse by standing me in front of the class so everyone could see.

I read that you could get more life ( goop) out of an old, seemingly dried up mascara wand if you microwaved it, so I did, just 4 seconds. Anyway ... when I opened it up, the hot jet fuel lava shot out all over the under counter lighting and cupboards. So I guess it worked.

They are the cutest little lizard you could ever see. Kids love them because they are so cool.

My brother and I used to tie karate belts together, tie one end to my waist, and lower me down from the bannister to the base of the stairs. It worked for a long time, but we stopped when one day we heard our mom coming inside and in shock my brother dropped me from halfway up XD. I was perfectly fine, I've survived greater falls, but it stopped us from ever doing that again. (I was around 6, he was 10)

My parents had a 1965 Lincoln Continental when I was little. It had electric door locks and windows, unusual for 1965, and only a available in luxury cars like Lincoln’s. One day, we visited relatives in King of Prussia, PA (we lived in Gettysburg at the time), and were on our way put of town. I was in the backseat—-the car also had seatbelts, but no one used them back then—-and decided to put my window down. Only I couldn’t figure put the controls. So I opened the door instead. Downtown Philly, car still moving, and here I am hanging out the door sideways. My father slammed on the brakes, and my mother got out and shoved me back inside the car. Obviously they were horrified—-something that didn’t occur to me until I was grown up. My father showed me how to open the window, and locked my door from then on.

I did this but it was while we were going down the highway in a old el camino. I was around 12 or so. The door was locked and I wondered if it would stay locked if I tried opening it while we were driving so I tried. And the door flung open. Taking me with it, partially because I had a seatbelt on. Scared the crap out of my mom and her boyfriend at the time. She pulled me back in and the door slams shut as I was still holding on to it. Never Again. Lol…

At my childhood home, we had a chute going from the children's bathroom on the second floor to the laundry room in the basement, so we'd just chuck our dirty clothes down there and my parents would do the washing stuff. One night, I took off one sock, but instead of throwing it in the chute, I threw it in the toilet. My mother just sighed, said "I'm not up for that", took my second sock, yote it in the toilet and flushed.

I didn’t have earplugs, but I did have pencils with big erasers on them. They looked enough like earplugs to my child’s brain, so I shoved them in my ears, but good. Had to be taken to the doctor to have them removed, because my mother didn’t want to risk damaging my ears (which turned out fine, btw). We’re all stupid when we’re young.

When he went to get the principal, we made a barricade with the desks, from one side of the room to the doorway to prevent it opening.

As the scissor blade passed through the cord it briefly shorted hot and neutral together, tripping the circuit breaker. While current flows to ground through all available paths, the vast majority of the current takes the shortest path, being that it's only 1/8" Plus, if they were plastic-handled scissors, that would help too.
