Dumbest thing you've done recently...
Yeah, I had a really humbling moment yesterday, and decided to start a thread about dumb things people have done. Here's mine.
I was out doing target practise with my paintball gun, when my little brother (10 yrs) walked up. The trigger on his gun wouldn't move, and he wanted help. So I fiddled with it a while, made sure the safety was off, etc. Finally, pointing it down I decided to see if the CO2 canister still had air or not. So I put my hand ovr the muzzle of the gun and tried again to pull the trigger. Well, it worked, I now have an absolutly huge swollen bruise on my left hand. It's quite painful. Luckly, I'm right handed. |

"Fixed" my gas water heater. Boy did I fix it. It worked, but there was a small leak. It cost me about $400. I could have bought a new one and paid a professional.

Hmmm... I dunno. I just cut the side of my foot, and now it's bleeding... Excuse me while I grab some hydrogen peroxide. |

Never held a cat over a sink, but I have tried to make my Iguana go back into his cage when he didn't want to. Tons of scratches from that.
LOL, Gil. When I fis things they are either permanently fixed or permanently broke. I tend to cut myself too. Hilarious thing is, I'm the survival/safetly teacher at camp! I'm extremely accident prone, but never anything big. |

Re: Dumbest thing you've done recently...
The last dumb thing I've done was when I forgot to turn the stove off. It got really hot before I discovered it.

Last time I forgot to turn off the stove, I burned a big hole in the middle of one of our best plastic bowls.

Re: Dumbest thing you've done recently...
My mother-in-law once put a plastic steamer basket thingy (one of those things with lots of petal-type appendages that takes about a week to dry by hand)in the oven to dry. Then she forgot about it. Next time she turned on the oven, well, the kitchen filled up with this thick black smoke and noxious smell. There was a black, sooty deposit all over everything... And my mother-in-law is a real neat freak! I think she was still finding the sooty stuff a month later!

four things:
sugar + potassium nitrate (aka salt peter) + inside the house + turned stove too hot --------------------- = kitchen full of smoke |

Re: Dumbest thing you've done recently...
Halon! Did you have any trouble breathing after this? No oxygen depletion in the room was there?

Re: Dumbest thing you've done recently...
Do you deliberatly think up dumb things to do in your spare time?
I agree, that is the dumbest so far. So for now...you are the winner. |
