The stupidest thing you've done that you regretted doing

Let me just start this by saying the stupidest thing I've done in my entire life is fracture my arm doing arm wrestling, pretty stupid, huh?

What is the stupidest thing you've done and regretted?

I fractured my leg skating because I was doing it so carelessly. X rays looked like a splinter sticking out of plywood. It healed like in 8 months.

Doing 70 mph at a mountain road (SE Oregon towards Boise ID) in the middle of snow season. Went downhill and hit a long stretch of black ice.

The car lost traction and started yawing. I managed to straighten out. But, still no traction. The problem was, there was a semi truck jack-knifed at the bottom with people milling around it. I honked my horn and they scrambled to get out of the way. I went past the semi with inches to spare. Luckily, the road turned a bit and my car slid into some snow which gave some traction. I finally slowed the car down and eventually stopped.

It was cold, But, I was shaking and drenched in sweat. One of the cops ran over and asked if I was okay. He took one look at me, smiled, and said I was fine. ;) I stayed there doing nothing for at least an hour.

Thank you. Whoever is up there watching over me..... Thank you. Thank you.Thank you.

Stood on a tablet, cracked screen. Instead of replacing it with a good one, bought a cheapo one. Rubbish battery, runs out in 3 hours.

Prank call a teacher.

@jun_aka_pekto: oh my dude I'm so glad nothing happened to you!!! That is truly scary!

I was a little cocky when I was younger. That brought me back down to earth.

Not doing MBA inspite repeated request from freinds. Now i'm just a sales engineer at SIEMENS with no hope for promotion anytime soon :(

Getting involved with a married woman in my early 20s.

Nothing especially bad came out of it. To my knowledge her husband never found out, although they separated while we were together, but they ended up reconciling and are still married today (16 years later). I came out with a broken heart, even though I was the one who ended the relationship, and a good deal of guilt.

@jun_aka_pekto: Crazy story.

We all need to be humbled every now and then.

-----------------

Before social media became the monster it is now. There was a now defunct site called Sconex. I learned from that site, that anything you post on the internet. Is essentially public information. And I went on a rant about how much I dislike things about my high school. I also may have mentioned the principal somewhere. Who was really disliked, and got fired a few years ago for some shady stuff. Anyways, someone went ahead and told the principal. And I ended up having to attend a private meeting about the matter. Just barely dodged a suspension, for a non threatening online post. Something rather unheard of at the time.

I also didn't realize other repercussions on Sconex, that when you post a picture. Just below a pic, the site shows the name and profile link of the person (in this case me) who uploaded the pic.

And well, it was regarding a teacher who didn't find it funny. Who I previously had a fairly good relationship with. And I always sense that she never got over it in High school. Which reflected in my grades for a very easy Advisory class, and her hidden attitude towards me years after the incident. I made the mistake of thinking just because someone made a joke about this teacher's weight on a school trip. That I assumed she wouldn't have taken it so seriously. She actually ended up printing a copy of the site page in question, and showed it around the school.

How is that pronounced?

Oh man..... over 30 years of stupid mistakes made.....

Im a fairly good driver so luckily i have not had many vehicle related mistakes. When i was a teenager coming home from work i spun out on a gravel road one time while going about 90. Luckily i just did some rotations and then hit a dirt mound and everything was okay, drove off no problems.

Did a lot of drinking and driving when younger, luckily never hurt anyone or did anything bad. Except when i was parking at my buddies house one time after the strip club, i some how hit the gas instead of break and tore down a no parking sign.

Its hard to call it a mistake, but having a kid at 18 was not the best of choices and if he could simply be 10 years younger and me 10 years older when i had him, that would be fantastic.

Of course the biggest mistake i made was getting involved with some things i should not have been doing and was old enough to know better but uhhh.... yah... that lead to the loss of a great corporate job and almost 4 years in prison. I did end up keeping a lot of what i made and got a biology degree in the process sooooo, it worked out but definitely something i'd avoid repeating if i had the chance.

Plenty of little mistakes made but eventually you learn to live and deal with them.

There's a few girls I could have had sex with but didn't and regret it. Would have made good spankbank material today now that I"m old and married. I also regret throwing away all my old games and consoles. Had a 64 Chevelle Malibu SS that I regret buying because it was just a money pit. Then I pulled the motor, sold the body thinking I would put that motor in another vehicle but never did, so it just rusted away.

The dumbest thing I've ever done is ride around on a garbage can lid towed behind an ATV doing donuts in the snow.

Don't regret it though. That was awesome. I'd never do it again, however.

Had sex with a crazy girl last year. I had heard about messing with crazy women, but I did not listen. Had sex with her, then did not hear from her for a couple months. I then get a series of psychotic texts from her, conveniently ruining my post Force Awakens meal, telling me she poked holes in the condoms we used, and that she is pregnant, and I wont have anything to do with the kid. She then waited until the day after christmas to tell me she got an abortion, and my bitch ass had no say. I know she waited until the day after christmas just to keep me in suspense, and life as a perpetual panic attack. I was then told by a girl we both know that she made it all up.

the worst ones I won't put here, but in the spirit of this thread:

when I was a kid I tried to bunjee-jump out of a tree-house by tying a skipping rope to my leg. Of course, that rope had no stretch to it, and I tied it in such a way that it just rode up my leg and brutally sacked me in the nuts. I was stuck dangling upside-down until my my friend ran and got his parents. Not the brightest idea.

This is something most men have to learn first hand.... never stick your dick in crazy. It will be the best sex youll ever have, but in a relationship is nothing but absurd drama. If its out of a relationship, you may think its that but uhhh... the crazy might not and you never know what is going to set the crazy off. Every day acts become a massive issue even if you dont speak to or see this person but it some how gets around to them.

If it's any consolation, that's exactly how my buddy was roped into a miserable marriage with his (now) ex-wife. Lesson of the story: That's about the happiest way those circumstances could have worked out.

Luckily I dont get involved in relationships. I typically just have casual sex. That bitch strung me along knowing I have a panic disorder. I cant imagine how bad that would have been if I had to spend most of my days with her, over months. A 5th story window would have become my best friend.

My own biggest mistake (even continuing to this day) is having sex at the age of 13! Ever since I got a taste for sex with an older lady at 13, I couldn't get enough of it. I'm 31, I'm still doing the same old shit I been doing since 13, having sex with different girls despite I have just one baby mama with our 9 year old daughter.

That's my biggest mistake, doing it at the age of 13 and I regret it.

gain weight.

I wish I noticed when it happened (and it happened fast!) or someone said something earlier because I put on a lot of weight (literally another person...like, an adult male person's worth of weight) and it is so damn hard to get it off. The real bitch is that, genetically, I was already a big guy so now it's like triple big.

Honestly it's the source of all my woes; depression, lack of confidence, social anxiety.

Don't get fat, people!

MBA? masters of buisness administration.

Cut off your Beer intake maybe to get back into shape? :P

Probably smoking a gravity bong with my friend behind the headmasters house in my old boarding school days.

I've done tons of stupid shit so I'll probably be back in this thread soon, no regrets though.

Once I tried a cocktail of energy drink with cultured milk.

Of course I regretted it.

i actually do not drink much any more. I am a social drinker, and because of the anxiety I maybe socialize a couple times a month, so...no drinking!

I'm actually pretty healthy, I just got a blood test back and everything is actually really good; basically my "only" problem is the extra weight, which will eventually cause serious problems (bad knees, bad back, etc). I need to go to a specialist, see whats going on. Thyroid, maybe? I don't know.

Try joining slim (fat reduction) centre's for fast results also. Its very advanced nowadays, you will shed those extra kilo's fast enough.They've their own inhouse specialists who will possibly warn you about side effects if any, proper diets or medications.But consult your doctor first before joining, i'm assuming costs no factor for you :)
