Today I was laining back in my office chair and I fell to the ground and the back broke off. LOL! I went to show my mom and dad and said I said I was stupid for doing that LOL! So I thought I'd ask here to see what dumb stuff you guys have done.  |

Well throughout my first year of high school, my friends would have milk bottles empty all the time during lunch. Well me being the dumb ass I am decided to see how far I could shoot the cap off the bottle!
One of my friends would stuff the cap in the bottle, and I would whack the bottle as hard as I could.
The cap would shoot off about 20 feet into the air, and the funny thing is, I never got caught!
By some coincidence, every time the teacher would see it, she would blame another one of my friends. |

I'm not dead yet, so the list keeps growing... any time I forget, I have a wife to remind me.

If they had an Encyclopedia of stupid things, I would take up at least 10 volumes

Lots of things... though if you're looking for embarrassing physical clumsiness...
well....
my surname is bollard....
Last year, while hurrying across town and looking the wrong way, I ran straight into a bollard and cracked a rib.
When I told them at work what had happened, it took a while for the laughter to die down.

It all started with a cat's scratching post. The post had been of little interest to the cats until such time that in a thunderous boom they had caused a cascade of boxes that resulted in the pole being detached from the base... where at such time it returned to being beneath their level of interest. A scratching post - cheaply made, mind you - is sometimes made by placing a single long screw up from the bottom of the base into the cylindrical pole.
If you are squeamish, you may wish to stop now.
So young me is trying to get hold of one of the cats, knowing but not thinking about the base being on the floor of the basement. I was thinking only of finding that cat, Peanut. I dropped to my knees, to look behind the desk... and yelled in pain and shock as I stood. The base was now lodged into my shin, and had to be pulled out by rotating reverse-clockwise motion in order to remove the screw from my lower leg. The scar remains a reminder still.
Sadly, that is not my most glorious moment of inept awareness and poor coordination... dumb me. Whoops!

I got dressed for work in my very dark cave and didn't realize until I got there that the pants were dark green and not black as I had thought. They threatened to end me home...next time. They always say that to threaten us but it would be like threatening me with a few hours vacation....oh nooo.

The dumbest thing I ever did was to go out wrecking mailboxes many years ago. It was fun at the time, but it probably made a lot of people angry. I wouldn't do it again if I had it to do over. It was awful. We did a plastic one in with a cake firework, and I even left a dead squirrel in one.

That's weird. Why would they care about the color of your pants? I could understand their response if you showed up with no pants, but what's the big deal?

Because Pet Smart is a fascist company that wants it's minions to look and act like clones. Black and tan pants only, no "jean" material and no side pockets. The truly absurd part is that I take care of jumping, slobbering dogs and some sturdier pants with pockets would be helpful....but rules are rules. It isn't about comfort or practicality it is about a bunch of corporate suits who demand conformity and have probably never done a day of physical labor in their lives. Welcome to the real world.

I could conform to arbitrary rules of neutral effect if they were spelled out beforehand, but rules that go against practical considerations would drive me nuts!
