This guy I know got so drunk : that when he got home he decided he needed to do a dump. Problem was he stubled into the laundry and thought it was the toilet. :

He proceeds to open the lid of the washing machine...you know the rest.

Dad hears son in laundry grunting, gets out of bed, turns laundry light on !!!

Pants around ankles, son cant figure out why his dad is watching him take a dump.

A few heated words, : son is dealing with it the next morning :

Drove my old mans work ute (Small Suzuki 4x4 Ute) into a melon hole in black soil country out west, getting it bogged up to the axles. Was 15 and learning to drive.
Didn't see it for the high grass. Had about 30cm of water in it too.
Then I had to call him up on the UHF and tell him to bring a shovel to get us out.
His boss was on the same channel, and never let me forget it!

When I was a kid, I used to collect little electric motors to put in model aircraft. One day I got an old power cord from a junked appliance and connected it straight to a tiny motor and plugged it into the mains (no transformer). The thing blew up right in my hands/face and scared the crap out of me. I don't know how I wasn't electrocuted.

Years ago I raced an amber light at 5am on a sunday morning. There were 3 car at the intersection. 2 of the cars were waiting to do right hand turns on opposite sides of the intersection. The oncoming car was the deputy police commissioners ride which I hit head on. The other car waiting to turn was a police van............ The best thing was... I only got done for not wearing a P plate....(which I did have on the front of my car) cos the coppers couldnt find it amongst the wreckage. How did I get off so easily? Straight after the accident I jumped out my car went up to the driver of the third car said to him...did you see that...those bloody coppers werent paying attention, they were busy waving to each other. This guy it turns out was a lawyer who hated traffic cops and became my star witness.

Drilled a hole in an EA plastic fuel tank of a car I was scrapping (bit of fuel for the mower and whipper snipper).. with a cordless drill, I thought to myself this could be dangerous, but my brothers done it heaps of times... DON'T DO IT !!!

Two fire extinguishers later and I got the streaming flow of petrol out..kept on lighting itself on fire coz of the constant flow of burning, streaming petrol.

Lucky the tank was half full, coz if it ran out no doubt the vapour would have went kaboom !!! had nice hairless arms afterwards but haha..

weekend just gone up at a mates farm at Robertstown in the states mid-north we were camping out for the night with a bonny, rally cars and stuff. Mate put petrol on pile of sticks so we could get the fire going and i bent down with a lighter to ahh light it and what i did not realsie was the wind was blowing my way! The lighter didn't even light but the spark frome the flint was enough to set it going. Next thing i know i'm feeling a lot hotter than i should have! I ran away and realised i was half okay and turned around to see the missus, my mate and his missus and 3 other mates were stunned and ready to douse me in water. I now have no hair on either arm, both legs, my facial hair got singed and my fingers on my right arm have some nasty burns. lucky i had my sunnies on too because you can see where it tanned my skin on wy face around the sunnies, otherwise i might have no eyes now! After a swin in Burra creek and a few of West Ends finest, it ended up being on okay evening.

P.S i thought it would be best not to put me out if need be with water due to the water restrictions as it was after 8 am and before 8 pm.

[Van D]

I've done lots of dumb stuff really, i'll grow up one day.

One of my favourites though is my mate who put a deodorant can in the fire.. It didn't explode for ages so he put his face right up to it and poked it. The thing blew up and singed all the hair on his face/head and he couldn't hear anything for a while, haha.

Me and my mates used to make rockets out of sparklers, petrol and a few other things.. set a tree or two on fire with those..

I also drunk two and a bit straight bottles of booze (two 700ml southerns, and about a 1/4 of a canadian), plus mixers and shots throughout the night on my 18th. I don't remember much of that night, lol.

Then a couple weeks ago my mate said I couldn't hold down half a bottle of southern if I skulled it... He was right, lol. It hit me after a few minutes. I don't think the cowboys and other strange milk/gay beverages helped.

Umm, when we were up at philip island we were doing tequila slammers. Everyone else did shots and me being a little tipsy did a whole mug full of tequila and a tiny bit of juice.. That was a ***** to hold down and pretty dumb, even dumber was I did it twice! I ended up in the ocean/on the beach that night =/

Latest stupid thing would be for much up day yesterday I wrapped myself from head to toe in bubble wrap.. That was farkin hot and stupid, lol.

[XR6-VCT-2000]

Stupidist thing i have probably done , and nearlly killed myself in the process (when i was around 14 )... was messing around learning the theory of capacitors, i made a homemade capacitor using the paper plates and tinfoil setup, except i used about 20 extra plates than advised and got the shock of my life.
I have been shocked by 240v and 3phase and neither of them come close to the shock i got from the DIY capacitor !
It probably explains why im not quite right these days ..lol

[Bossxr8]

Not me but a guy I used to work with was cutting up some wood with a circular saw, using his foot to hold the wood while he cut it. The wood slipped and three of his toes decided to jump ship.

[kraddy]

Wrapped the rope around my hand in a match of tug-of-war. Broke ring fringer in 5 places and little finger in 4... ouch!

[iCat]

15 foot up a tree cutting a branch off. Unfortunately I was sitting on the branch I was cutting ...... and yeah, I am blonde!

[gtfpv]

[deesun]

One that haunts me still. Car full of friends mates car in front on country road I decide to overtake mate on a blind corner, also couldnt see the sharp rise after said corner and was still on wrong side of the road going over top of rise. There was silence for the rest of the journey. What an Fwit. It even beat rolling a car in a local park the first day I had my license.

[Rob]

Girlfriends 19th, got a bit too excited, drank 2 700ml bottles of bundy in about 2 hours, spent rest of night vomiting and coughing. Felt horrible for 3 days.

Other stupidity, trying to explain oversteer to ex girlfriend in VP commy on wet roads. Ended up about .05cm from a lightpole.

[chich]

I've done heaps of stupid things but the dumbest would have to be when i got absolutely hammered before a 18hr flight back to Melbourne. I figured the last night of a 3 month tour of Europe was something to celebrate, so off i went to the local club with a few friends and cousins. One of my cousins worked behind the bar and kept feeding me drinks all night - before i knew it i had finished a bottle of Johnnie red by myself (straight!). Got home at 4am, spewed everywhere, slept in my own filth and then got on a plane at 10am with a mother of a hangover. Never again!

Its a miracle that i got home... the whole town is built on very mountainous terrain (read: Rock hard steps/slopes and 6m drops everywhere).

We have been talking about that night to this day and what would of happened if all those big gum trees on the other side of the road would of jumped out.
