35 People Who Behaved Stupidly And Quickly Faced The Consequences Of Their Own Actions

Ask any cat up any tree

I broke my arm as a kid by falling out of a tree learning that lesson

I climbed to the top of a climbing tower and realized 1) I am still afraid of heights and 2) I hate climbing down

Found that one out the hard way

Gosh this makes so much sense and I never even thought about cats. Here I was thinking it’s because I’m afraid of hights. I can get up ok because I look up. Down is a problem though.

Just remember, they are there to protect the company.

Yeah don’t don’t trust those guys!

I worked in HR. The art is to use the system regardless of HR, it really is easily done! (UK)

Remember: They only act in the interest of the company.

I thought HR meant Humanity Rejectors.

This sounds like alcohol was involved 🤔

Did similar at around 10 or 12 years old. Looped my young bird dog's leash around my bike handlebars. Going down a steep hill (steep back then- when I drive by 30 years later it seems like more of a mild slope!) the predicted happens. Bird dog sees a bird, bird dog goes after bird, kid goes flying over handlebars. 7 chin stitches and $700 later (obvs in good ol America)... Dog was unhurt, did not catch her a bird though.

Poor dogs, must have been scared witless.

"Hey yall watch this "

Also do not chase the very large dog around the dinning room table. The razor scooter has a tendency to shoot out from under the rider during sharp turns. Dog had a blast. I had to explain my injured shoulder to my health insurance company.

This car is also driving way too fast. If the driver slowed down to a crawl, they might — MIGHT — just make it.

Turn around, don't drown

Yep. The street by my work floods pretty badly during intense rain. I saw a big Hummer cruise through the 2 foot water no trouble. Then a little Mini Cooper came along. Made it halfway down the street and then came merrily floating back the way it came. I felt bad laughing.

I am going to say it; "Turn around don't drown", just a small amount of water will float a small car like a feather in water. Common sense people!!

water is heavy, and it hits hard, if you are going at any significant speed.... plus there is the risk of aquaplaning, and sliding of the road.

This is actually important. There's a lot you can do in 12 hours, a whole lot. But if you never take a day off it causes actual physical and psychological damage. Some groups bank on this outcome as a way to break people, so they are tok tired to even consider alternatives.

I did this for 3 degrees - 2 AS, and a BS. It was hell. The worst was actually my first AS as the ol’ ‘however many hours of class you have, double that to account for homework” didn’t compute correctly for a photography degree, especially when it was still film. I has 12 hours of class, and an additional 16-20 hours outside of class foe homework, shoot multiple rolls of film, processing said film, printing X number of pictures, and sometimes matting the pictures. Plus any digital work and printing. And I worked a minimum of 30 hours a week. I basically got 1-2 hours of sleep a night, and hung out at my job a lot so I could reduce travel. Thankfully it was a retail job with a cafe.

Have you gone through a nursing degree program or talked to anyone who has? It is brutal! And when I did it, I worked a full-time job at night and went to school (and to clinical training) during the day.

I'm doing this right now and it is wreaking havoc on my already-disabled body. I'm taking this entry as divine intervention and making a change.

"You can do anything but not everything", is a much better mantra than "you can do what you want". I, and probably a lot of other people, have a tendency to just look at what others have achieved without realising how many hours and how much effort they have put into it, and hence we wrongfully conclude that we could do that too... and while that is kind of true, we tend to forget that there is also a lot other going on in your lives that we have to attend to, so a very important question to ask yourself, is if you have the hours to do that thing that you want.

You were very lucky.

I would never hike alone. Then again, I would never hike at all.

The only place I'd ever hike alone is in my tiny homecountry where you literally cannot get lost.

Not carrying enough food and not carrying a GPS device to find your way back sounds like they did not think this through at all.

“ watch out for the idiots on the road” is a common expression. Personally, I watch out for everyone. We are human and as humans we all make mistakes.

My favorite is the bumper stickers that say something like "Save a life, motorcycles are everywhere." Yeah, because it's your own life you are saving. I am amazed at how poorly motorcyclists drive and how they feel the rules of the road don't apply to them. I drive on the interstate regularly and it's a common occurrence to see a motorcyclist drive right between lanes in bumper-to-bumper traffic just because they can fit.
