We all have those moments, times when reason and logic are temporarily suspended and a brain fart occurs. If you are lucky, you are alone and the only negative consequences are the slightly bruised ego that comes with the realization that you aren't quite as clever as you thought you were.
These people however, were not so lucky. Not only were there witnesses to their mental hiccups, but there were recording devices on hand to capture them in all their glory, for all of us to enjoy. Compiled into a list by Bored Panda, what we have here are genuine head-scratchers, hilariously silly moments of people being dumb to the point that you just gotta ask yourself, what the hell were they thinking?
Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

It's a story from Denmark. Apparently it started as a dare, but then she couldn't get out. She was stuck for 45 minutes before they got her out. And yes, she is a teenager.

I couldn't imagine being bent like that for 45 min! Tough lesson to learn.

Alex Boyd 7 years ago
I only saw the top part of this at first, so I thought this was a woven-seat chair that she fell through, and I was like, "OK, that looks really silly, but could happen to anyone, defective chair, whatever"--then I realized what was actually happening. WTF was she expecting? Even if she fit through the hoop, she'd then fall 10 feet to the ground and land on her butt.
Vernice Aure 7 years ago
And to top it off, she is wearing leggings and a thong. 45 minutes enduring a thong wedgie... Ouch.
Vonskippy 7 years ago
Why are 3 men holding her butt - she can't go anywhere. You cut the net, let her lower her head and upper body down thru the hoop and then she just slides down and out. Don't any of the people in this photo have kids???

This makes me uncomfortable just looking at it. I have a weird fear of being trapped, I don't know how to explain it. But I panic when I can't use my arms or free myself from something. Not being to get these shirts off would make me panic and cry and probably lose my mind a bit.

This Is Why You Don't Shoot Bullets Up In The Air
troufaki13 7 years ago
Last week a woman was killed in Corfu because people were firing shots in the air to celebrate the christening of her nephew. She was in her 40s. Unfortunately there are regions in Greece, were it's tradition to fire shots in the air even with real bullets, for celebrations. Too many people have lost their lives, and yet it's still practiced... :(

Fortunately, driving off with the gas nozzle doesn't pose a big danger. The gas pump has a break-away device that detaches the hose automatically if it is pulled with enough force and no gasoline escapes.

Stannous Flouride 7 years ago
I noted that the guy filling the garbage can a few pages up is also from the Lone Star State. It is illegal in that state to transport gas in anything except approved and properly labeled gasoline containers. The gas can should be red in color and have a Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) or the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) stamp on them.
