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

[whatsnewpussycat777]

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

Shook a bottle of orange juice before I poured it out and did not think to check if the lid was properly on. Today. In my kitchen. Up the walls.. in my hair.. on the bloody ceiling.. everywhere

@Anordinarymum
Oh no! Poor you..I hate when I do stuff like that...Isn't it amazing a gigantic mess can be made in a few seconds but then take hours to undo

Walked away from pan of jam, just for a few min, needed to pee.
Jam tsunami
Took me hours to clean up, bramble and blackcurrant jam all over oven, worktop,cupboards and floor. 🤬

@BluePeterVag that made my day!
I once asked identical twin sisters if they both had the same first name as well as last name....gawd knows why....

I let my 7 year olds son suck the helium out of a big balloon, not only let him but egged him on too, until he passed out and banged his head, I had no idea you weren't supposed to do this, not once did anyone ever tell me it was dangerous, at the age of 30 I had no idea, I just thought it made your voice go funny, I was so upset and luckily he was ok after a couple of seconds, rang my mum crying and she told me how it cuts the oxygen to your brain, what an absolute idiot I was!

Had a second child

Following that up with “I’m joking” for the snowflakes

We had our smoke/heat alarm too close to our kitchen so frequently it would sound off even if a piece of toast got a bit too brown.
To quiet it, everyone knew to fan a kitchen towel in front of it to get it quiet.
All was fine until I put a pot of water on to boil and went outside for "just a moment " . My five year old DS was watching the telly.
When I finally came back inside the pot had boiled dry, the kitchen was filled with smoke and the alarm was blaring.

After I got DS outside, turned off the pot, I asked poor little DS why he hadn't run out and let me know the alarm was going off...He told me he had tried to fan the smoke alarm to get it to stop blaring like he'd seen us all do , but he'd given up when it just kept going. Oh No! It was then I realised that we had taught him a very dangerous habit instead of teaching him what the smoke alarm's real purpose was!!!!

DH is a twin. I asked him when his brother's birthday was 🤦🏻‍♀️

Too many to count!

One time my lighter wouldn't work. It was sparking. There was lighter fluid in there. It just wouldn't light. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to put some lighter fluid actually on the top bit of the lighter where you get the flame.

One flick followed by a flash of blue flame later and I was sans eyebrows and eyelashes.

Waited decades for my father to like me. Realised I'm better off not caring. I like me, I'm bloody fab.

Good for you, Ddot. I bet you are fab and I am glad you realise it

Me and a bunch of usually sensible friends (when alcohol is not involved)...Put a firework in a bonfire to see what happens...yes it shoots off in all directions...hilarious at the time but would not recommend!

Potentially outing but when I was heavily pregnant and VERY hormonal, I threw away a CHANEL handbag (one of the black 2002, double flap quilted shoulder ones) which had been given to me by a very wealthy ex-boyfriend. As in literally put it in a bin bag and gave it to a clothes bin I think. To this day I still don't really know what I was thinking but the memory of him annoyed me and I had a proper 'I'll just save and buy myself one!' moment . It took about a year for the realisation of what I had done to sink in

Especially when I realised how much nursery fees were going to be

Did you get another bag

Staying at a hotel sharing a room with a friend at a conference. Woke up in the hotel corridor in the middle of the night in only a very short T-shirt. I am very shortsighted and hadn't got my glasses on. I had to inch myself along corridor after corridor with my nose up against the walls so I could read the room numbers.
Hammered on the room door after what felt like an hour. Friend just stood there looking at me then my empty bed. She piled up furniture against the door on the following nights. Never sleepwalked again.

As a barmaid flipped a glass up in the air as it was slipping from my fingers to catch it. I did but after it hit the top of the bar and smashed. I had to have surgery to repair my hand and still have a loss of sensation in my left thumb.

I often use google maps to follow a route as I'm walking to new places. In Manchester I was rushing to get somewhere and walked straight into a concrete lamppost. I saw stars.

I had a car crash not long after I passed my test, I was waiting at a junction to turn right and for some reason I thought a car flashed me to go....and I just went and this car went right into me. I had my 1 year old in the car with me too, thankfully we were OK. I never drove for 2 years after that, but I feel I've grown alot since then and still do that same junction every so often and always think, why the fuck did I do that!!

I know of someone who thought the car coming in the opposite direction was flashing him to let him come through. Turned out the car was going over speed bumps both collided and the first guy wrote off his brand new car

@Norwayreally

I had an awful day once and bought myself a bottle of wine on the way home. I’m not really much of a drinker, especially not wine so didn’t think about needing a corkscrew. It was just one of those moments where you finally sit down after a terrible day, get to the wine and wow, you can’t open it.

For some reason I decided to smash the bottle open with a hammer into the washing up bowl then used a sieve to get rid of the glass. I don’t know why I did this at all, my DH always tells me how lucky I was not to have ingested any fine bits of glass.

Oh god I spent many a time doing this as a teenager

This happens alot. He may have flashed you but that doesn't mean you can go. Flashing by law is to tell you that the other car is there in case you hadn't noticed. Some unscrupulous people flash then smash into you for compo.

Love this.

Revisiting this thread.still as funny as ever.

I was playing hide and seek with my family at a ruined castle and heard someone coming so jumped straight out
the window.
Lay on the ground for a bit completely winded, aching everywhere and with a sprained ankle and wondered what had possessed me.

I went with my friend to score some weed... except I didn't know what we were doing. We went to thid little house and I sat in the living room. The man who lives there shouted at my friend for bringing me. I looked through to the kitchen and there were a load of what I thought were chocolate cakes lined up on it. The guy came through to where I was and said, "You don't know who's behind me. If you touch my stuff, I'll fucking kill you." I looked around the room at his dirty piles of clothes and little porcelaine poodles on the fireplace and said, "Touch your stuff? Why would I want to touch... your... stuff?" in what my friend later told me sounded like RP. My friend says he'd never been so mortified.

I also once stayed at someone's house and tidied the coffee table on the morning. The bloke asked me, "Where's the charlie" and I said, "Your flatmate? He went to get milk." The charlie he was looking for was in the bin.

I've always been very naïve.
