Inspired by another thread we haven't had one of these for two days and we all need cheering up.

Regale us with your worst decision ever! The one that makes you die a bit inside to think of.
I'll start with mine, it's recycled (told on mnet before) so apologies if you've read it, hopefully there will be new cringetastics added.

My DS had a birthday party at lazerquest.
All his cousins and home pals plus four school pals.
I worked FT so never did school run and didn't know school pals.
My sil was in attendance with her perfect parenting just waiting for me to fuck up.
18.55 and it was going like clockwork. Everyone was happy and in attendance, except one school pal James.
I was feeling pretty smug, it was going great. The kids all put their guns and vests on and lined up, I decided to nip out for a fag.
Off I go downstairs to smoke. Stood at the door is a young lad, ah I think and ask him if he's James. He nods.
I grab his hand and excitedly drag him up the stairs, blithering on about the fun he's going to have. Rush him to the outfitter fella and shove him in to catch up with the gang.
I'm ecstatic now, give SIL a cheesy grin on my way out, go for my fag.
There were a group of deaf people at the door, gesturing excitedly, I lit up a way down from them feeling all happy.
After a few minutes a car pulled up, young lad gets out and spots me. Are you DS mum? He asks. I'm James he said.
It fully dawned on me slowly and painfully as I climbed the stairs with Real James, at the lazerquest I just shoved Real James at my best mate and growled at her to get the wrong James out and swap them.
I could hardly stand as I skulked off down the stairs.

Beat that.
Needless to say LH thread.

I decided to make spun sugar. In my defence, I'd not long left home and was going through what I imagined to be a masterchef phase....

Boiled the sugar. Stuck my finger in.
Screamed loudly. Flicked molten sugar off finger. Stood on it in bare feet.

Lots of burns pain and lots of huge blisters.

I'm just glad I didn't just stick a spoonful in my gob....

Even reading molten sugar feels uncomfortable Shock hands and feet is unreasonable though.
