What's a stupid thing you've done that you still think WTF did I do that for?

Me

I wanted to kill the weeds between the slabs up to the front door.

No fucker one told me that they were going to crumble and dissolve if I used neat bleach.

What an idiot. 😢

Have you anything stupid to make me laugh on this cold evening 😃?!

Ps. Don't use bleach on certain slabs. certainly not neat

8 months pregnant (and the size of a blue whale) I was painting my daughters bedroom
She had a stool that was known for being a bit wobbly and best not to sit on it-but she really wanted to keep it as it had been given to her by my aunt
I really needed to reach the bit above her door so I stood on the bloody stool to reach
Of course it broke under my weight-it was dodgy when a ten year old sat on it-under my weight it just gave up
Spent the rest of the day in a&e with a broken elbow-covered in pale pink paint
Painted the boys room the following day-and went into labour a few days later with my left arm in a sling
Of course it had to be on the side I lay on to give birth-not the most comfortable thing to do
I’ve never stood on a stool again-it’s ladders or I’m not painting it

Put my finger into a stick blender, slammed the car door on my hip, got stuck in a Zedbed, drained spaghetti and throen it straight from the sieve into the bin, reversed into a large black and yellow striped pillar...

I once stood on the end of rake to see if it really does come up and hit you in the face.

It does.

Shredded the wrong three train tickets and seat reservations, binned £250 in Icelandic currency, put a fork through my welly into the top of my foot while aerating the lawn...
I could go on.

Sent a text complaining about my boss to my boss. In a panic to make sure they didn't see it I told them I'd been sexting my partner and sent it to them by accident so could I have their phone for a minute to delete it when it arrived.

It worked but I'm still mortified about my excuse.

I have to make change now as the story is well known in my friendship group

@icelollycraving

👀 I’m sat next to him tbh.

That actually made me laugh out loud! 😆

Decided I was going to make a square candle fit in a round glass holder. Melted the edges with my lighter, then tried to shove it in. The candle resisted, the glass shattered and I ended up passing out in A&E as they dug lead crystal shards out of my hand.

This is quite outing if anyone recognises me. Last year I turned on DP’s TV, lit some candles on the unit underneath it and then went into the kitchen. Came back into the lounge wondering what the weird burning smell was Miraculously the TV was still on but the candle had burnt right through the sensor you aim the remote at so we couldn’t change the channel or anything.

Next day I went to Curry’s and bought a new one. That night once again I lit the same candle under the TV. Instead of melting this one, it left a huge black mark on the screen. I still have no idea what possessed me to light the same bloody candle again!

I may have taken the TV back and pretended it came damaged and got given a replacement

Married XH.

I constantly think I can beat the heat of the oven if I reach in and am super quick my hand won't be on the baking tray long enough to burn. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You crazy punters

Threw out £500 which I had in an envelope.

Did the same with £200 about a year later.

I'm a fucking idiot.

Poured some off-ish cider into the compost bin. (At that time, everything went into the compost bin. If I cut my finger, I would run across and bleed into the compost bin)

Ended up with a wasp factory. That was a bad summer.

Decided to superglue a tin opener that was broken. I glued it to the kitchen worktop and my hand to the tin opener. I used a very sharp knife to prise my hand off it. I must have lost 2 layers of skin.
Rearranging DDs bedroom I fell into the wardrobe off a chest of drawers and got stuck in it. I still don't know how I ended up in it. I had opened the door a bit for some reason even though the chest of drawers were tight against it, and tumbled into the tiny gap. I'm not tiny . I had my phone in my pocket and had to phone my neighbour to come and rescue me.
I was walking along the street and was that busy nosying I walked staight past the signs that a manhole was open and fell straight down it.

@IncludeWomenInTheSequel I did that

This freezing weather reminded me.I’m notoriously clumsy. Years ago we had weeks of snow and the ponds had frozen. Dh and I had walked miles and I saw this pond where the kids had made a slide across it. My eyes lit up, dh sighed and said “no, just don’t” I did. Comedy pratfall and fractured coccyx.

Turned down a job offer from Ridley Scott.

made a tarte tatin in a pan that can go in the oven, but I'd never put in the oven before. Came to take it out and just grabbed the metal handle! Then had a trip to hospital with a very sore blistering hand!

My 13 yo ds went in the shower, came down afterwards with red eyes and raging, complaining about Johnson’s baby shampoo “they’ve lied ... no more tears - it does sting when it gets in your eyes”! He deliberately put the shampoo in his eyes to test out their claims! 🤣🤣🤣

Married XH

Same. I knew it was a crap decision at the time as well and now I'm stuck with that idiot in my life until DD leaves home.

@Frazzledbutcalm a MNer and her DH took turns squirting J&J into their eyes to test it out before shampooing their PFB My own DS (10) used body scrub as shampoo for a while. I found out when he complained about the bits in his hair from the 'scratchy new shampoo'

Used some tinfoil lying on the side to take something out of the oven.

Heated milk in the microwave to make hot chocolate. Learned the hard way why they say not to put metallic things in a microwave. It was so hot my skin literally stuck to it and I had really bad burns all over my hand.

Another one, took the waste of the kitchen sink to clean it out but used the same sink to do the cleaning. I realised my mistake pretty much as soon as I turned on the Tap. DH thought that was hilarious and still doesn't let me forget it.

@Moonflower12 it’s mount of Venus on your hand, mound of Venus is a totally different area

@CabernetSoWhat

I once got on an escalator, got a third of the way up and realised what I wanted was on the floor I was leaving, so I turned around and jumped off.

It was a bizarre impulse. Fortunately, I landed on my feet on the foot plate (though I was wearing heels) and there was no one behind me. I couldn't quite believe I'd done it. Was very embarrassed 😳

😂😂😂😂 that’s just really made me laugh!

Walked into a cupboard once when going to an interview.
