What's the stupidest thing you've done - that you'll admit to at least? :)

Off the top of my head here's mine:

Many years ago after a night on the town (yes we were drunk) me and some mates were walking down the Moor. I don't know why, but we ended up climbing up the outside of what was 'Atkinsons'. (Don't ask me how coz I'm not tellin'). If you know the building in question you'll realise why it was stupid - it's pretty tall - several stories in fact.
On the way back down we decided to pinch this large triangular add-on to to the advertising hoarding and take it home. It was over 12ft long and took 2 people to carry it...and we lived the other side of Hunter's Bar!
How we didn't get injured or stopped by the police I'll never know.

So then - what's the stupidest thing you've done?

Nomme

Heh heh! Spider-nomme! Hmmm... I've already put a highly embarrassing one in another thread! Bears repeating though!! > The one where I stacked it in front of about 150 people queueing for a cinema premiere - spraining my wrist in the process - and all because we were having a 'who can kick the highest' competition - D'oh!

There was also the time when I was about 4 when I deliberately trod on a nail to see if it would go through my foot!

Doh! - I've just remembered the great 'Steamed Pudding Incident'. Perhaps was even more stupid!
Still, lets hear some of yours before I relate that one.

Nomme

Hmm... not sure if it was stupid, but certainly embarrassing...

Got stuck in a toilet in Greece once (the lock bust!). I then climbed over the toliet cubicle wall (there was a small gap between the top of the wall and the ceiling) and manged to escape. All good so far... but unfortunately I landed on the corner of a huge (3-4 foot tall) decorative vase smashing it to in 100s of pieces. I also sliced open my hand on the rough brick work at the top of the cubicle wall.

Needles to say I returned to the table with a red face and a quickly grabbed a napkin to stem the bleeding.

:rolleyes:

...<bump>...

lol! :D ... woah! ... (get's back on chair) ...

I've also done 3,5,11 & 14.

Mine is more recent it is also a lesson to be learnt by everyone.

While at Leadmill on saturday just gone me and sarah thought we'd get a drink, well i did anyway, so I was stood at the end of the bar and a barman come from nowhere opened the hatch which my arm was resting on without saying excuse me or nothing, i could have easily had my hand broken if my reflects were'nt as good. I later complained to the so called 'Bar Supervisor' as the club was closing for the night and asked for his name, she replied " we cannot give that sort of information due to safety reasons " so I said ok then can I speak to the Club manager, along comes 3 bouncers one of which claimed to be THE club manager also stating that the 'bar supervisor' had said that I wanted the guys name so I could beat him up, and if you have ever seen me you can tell I aint a fighter, anyway I know he wasn't as I have met the manager in the past when SheffieldLive was on the FM during the month of July.

I said to the bouncer that I know he is'nt the club manager as we have met each other in the past and he walked off, so I followed him, he went into an office about to slam the door in my face, i raised my hand to stop the door from slamming into me, he then retaliated by literally pushing me through the leadmill doors onto the street where he was verbally abusing me and saying thaty I had actually walked into the office and there-fore i was banned PERMANENTLY I am not that bothered about that to be honest as there are plenty more clubs in Sheffield to go to. When I asked for his name he gave me some other name which is so stupid I can't remember, I have written to the Club Manager who's name I managed to get hold of through a friend of a friend and awaiting a response.

So the moral of this very long story is this:

Never :nono: ever complain about a member of staff at the leadmill even if they almost cause you a serious injury as it will get you banned!:mad:

18 months of trekking to Sheff every weekend (virtually) looking for a suitably cheap, nice house to buy. Took 18 months to find one, but I'm glad we didn't rush into it, else we might be living in one of the disastrous ex-student/rented houses we looked at.

Well here's a few that I can think of at the mo:

1. 'Sniffed' ammonia gas at school causing me to have an asthma attack - not bad to say I don't have asthma. Best thing is the teacher told me to do it :rolleyes:
2. Swallowed some poppers while inhaling too hard causing another asthma attack.
3. Nearly burnt down a block of flats.
4. Drank a bottle of sherry when I was 13 and fell asleep under next door neighbours bushes.
5. Ran into a clothes line at head height when it was dark nearly knocking myself out.
6. Ate far too many magic mushrooms and had a really, really bad trip.
7. Stood on the railings at the front of a cruise ship while very drunk re-enacting a scene from Titanic ("I'm on top of the World!")
8. Didn't run off after being attacked in town, guy came back 10 minutes later and stabbed me in the neck.
9. Smashed bus stop windows ;)
10. Walked from Mablethorpe to Skegness while very drunk. Started around 2am got back around 11am :loopy:

There's many, many more but I'll leave them for another time...

I've done some good walks in that part of Lincs, but never that far!! Do you go up there often? I know quite a few people round that way, mainly towards grimsby/louth...

Nan lives in Skeg so used to go a lot as a nipper. Haven't been for a while now but might pay a visit soon. Even though I've been on holiday all over the world I still love that place, don't know why! :)

Hey if you're ever headed that way and fancy a beach party - whatever the time of year - let me know!! I've know plenty of ... erm... "party" people up there, man!!

Woohoo :D

Last time I was on a beach was a few months ago working in Swansea. Went out, got drunk, climbed into Swansea City football ground, climbed back out, went for a paddle, realised tide was out and shore was miles away, got stuck in 4 foot of mud, ruined trainers, jeans, socks, shirt, watch (21st bday present). Eventually got back to hotel around 6am looking like a swamp monster with 2 mates sat outside waiting for me as I had the key. They'd been there 3+ hours - oops :D

Then started work at 7.30 :loopy:

The stupidest thing I've ever done is start smoking.

:D lol! Now that's a classic evening!! We nearly lost my short house-mate from last year in a bog in North Lincs last November!! We went out without torches at 3am (claiming we could see perfectly, of course) with someone claiming to have great knowledge of the local area. We trusted him to the extent that I walked straight into a duck pond (head over heels), my housemate lost her shoes, and two other girls lost one shoe each and had to hop back to the house!! Classic!! And they say drugs are bad...?!!!

Yeah I have quite a few stories like that, keeps me amused anyway :D

Climbed the floodlights at Oakwell at 3AM (Barnsley FC).

Got a police caution after trying to unbolt a horse off a merry-go-round at a town centre fair (even went home to get some spanners).

Broke someones front teeth whilst demonstrating that wrestling sometimes does hurt.

Unplugged various burger vans around the country from there wall mounted power points forcing them to cease trading for the evening.

Here are a few

1. Gatecrashed a wedding, finished up getting beat up by the Groom and his mates - Major ruck resulting in me falling on to the Wedding cake and splatting it all over. That was it then, mothers / bridesmaids and all laid in.
2. Turned up for a pantomime on the wrong day with the kids, stood there arguing the toss that someone was sat in my seat for 10 mins...... usherette said can I have a look at your ticket sir....doh... come on kids lets go somewhere else today!!
3. Paid for a holiday Caravan in Devon- in full up front before seeing it, god it was a right dump. Did not stay there, went to find somewhere else and tried to claim my money back but no luck. Finished up in small claims court and still no luck.
4. Climbed up a hotel flag pole whilst drunk to nick a union jack flag - mind you it was a big un
5. Getting drunk on Barley wine/Pernod/Whisky - not all at same time
6. Smoked a joint about 10 mins before meeting an important customer at work, tried to act normal and behave but it just didnt happen. Still makes me laugh to this day.
7. Tried a mouthful of Phal curry - anybody who eats these is insane
8. Usual - started smoking

:loopy:

There are more.

Yep been there done that. struggled to finish it but I do find the hotter they are the more I enjoy them for some reason. :surprised

A couple of years ago I discovered a wasp's nest in a drain pipe on my house. I got a ladder to take a look see and found wasps pouring out into the rain gutter. Not intimidated I tried to block the top of the pipe with an aerosol Easy Start.
This did the trick and for several hours no wasps were seen. But then they started swarming out again. The aerosol had dropped down the pipe.
This was obviously a disaster as the pipe takes away rain water and would cause major problems.
Still not detered I went back up the ladder and poured concentrate sulphuric acid down the pipe thinking it would disolve the can. I decended the ladder as quickly as possible.
About 15 minutes later there as a huge explosion and wasps, filth, acid etc shot into the air landing all over my car. I hosed it down as quickly as possible but the roof seals for the sunroof were ruined.
Worse still the cast iron drain pipe had cracked fro top to bottom and acid had run through the balanced flue of the central heating boiler, which totally gave up the ghost a week later.
What a pity I didn't film this. I could have got £200 from You've been framed. That would have gone some way to repairing the £2200 damage I caused.

I put 5 stone on, and more, after dieting for months and months to get rid of it in the first place!

Thread over. What a brilliant story.:hihi:

When I was about 12 I was at a house that was shared by a number of older, gorgeous, sexy, ball achingly fantastic women. One of them had to answer the phone in the nuddy and told me not to look as she ran back up the stairs...like a complete twerp I didn't look...what a cretin!!!
