Stupid things you have tried

Back to topic...

I would consider this stupid fun, but when I was like 10 or 11 I was at my grandpa's house (he's a snowmobile/quad/dirtbike mechanic) and so he pulled out the garage creeper (that red thing) and tied it to the back of his four wheeler. I was on the creeper holding on to the bars, and my grandfather was on the four wheeler and we went in circles at ~10-15 MPH. Let's just say the wheels melted and I have a scar on my hip and elbow...

 

Holy crap were do I begin haha.

The petrol fueled firework firing drainpipe bazooka would be a good place. Needless to say it blew up on our faces.

Then there would be that bright idea that was to walk to the nearest pizza express (about 6km) after a friends party. We arrived at about 4:30 in the morning to find it had closed then slept in the town like tramps. Worst night of my life and not made better by the fact when we woke up half the people we had set off with had disappeared. I don't even think that houdini could have escaped the bollocking I got for that.

stupid things i have tried...

trying to figure out exactly what a stapler does when you press the button... with the staples inside, and your thumb happening to be right where it staples.


lets just say that my thumb was not happy about that

(happened about a week ago, was going to post it on the day it happened, but umm, didn't happen as i literally could not sit at the computer for the rest of the day, without getting light headed, and my eyes going black)

 

Did you lose massive amounts of blood from a staple?

 

apparently my brain thought so, but it wasn't that much really

 

Understandable

 

This makes no sense to put this, except for that stapling conversation, but this one kid wanted to get high during school, so he walks into class, picks up a stapler, staples his arm four times. Doesn't flinch. Doesn't say anything but "I'm going to the doctor." and walks out.

 

Wait, he wanted to get high so he stapled himself..?

I really don't see how people can accidentally staple themselves. Stupidity I guess..

 

painkillers?

 

For the kind of staples you use on paper? I wouldn't think so..

 

This is the stupid ideas thread.

 

well, it's called the "Stupid Things you have tried" thread for a reason

 

when I was young, about 4 years old (I'm teenager)
in my old house, I felt so good to sit in front of the door and shit and felt good to leave it there.
I realize I went retard mode.
and I have good sense for potty training when I was even younger I just don't know why I went retard mode.

 

Meth. Oh wait, this is talking about BeamNG... Hmmm. I think driving the offroad D-15 really fast and turning as hard as possible.

 

For some reason I absolutely cracked up at this haha, so so odd.

 

Hey, I did that. I found it mildly entertaining (and moderately disturbing) to look through my thumbnail and see the end of the staple.

I once tried going down the stairs...
3 stairs down, 15 to go, and I tripped. Suddenly I found that I had only 6 stairs to go before I reached the bottom. I was in the chiropractor for five months afterward, because my right knee was so messed up that I had to use my arms to unfreeze it after I woke up every morning.

 

Same except an inch. From the bottom of my foot. Splintery old floor boards. Never again.

 

oh my god why

 

Chalking onto a piece of metal, grabbing hold of it to stop it wobbling while forgetting about what you did with that piece of metal only moments before. Namely sticking it in a coal forge until it was glowing yellow, taking it to a vice, locking it in the vice and bending it over on itself. It had cooled enough to not be glowing but still could have been anywhere between room temp and 800c

 

Just making the best of a bad situation, you know? I figured...as long as the staple was there...I should just...well...I don't know what I was thinking.

Suddenly I'm curious. Let's start with: Why do you have a coal forge?
