Have you done anything more stupid than this?

Question

I was trying to open a gallon of milk and the plastic ring that seals the cap wouldn't budge. I was trying to pry it off with a table knife, the knife slipped and you guessed it, I punctured the gallon of milk. It was RAINING milk. So whaddya got? Anything more stupid?

Answer 1

I don't know if it's more stupid, but it's milk-related.

I'm notoriously clumsy, so of course I decided to bring in an armful of groceries and two gallons of milk in the other hand. And instead of knocking on the door to get my husband to open it, I tried the doorknob. Dropped a gallon, and milk started gushing out EVERYWHERE. All over my front walkway and into my plants. I'm surprised it didn't stink the next day.


Oh yeah, I got another one. My nail polish remover and my toner are the same color. And on the same shelf in the same cabinet. So once, about a month ago, I saturated a cotton ball and swabbed nail polish remover all over my face. Geez. I hardly even noticed for a second, because they both stink.

Answer 2

If it was me, when the knife slipped, it would have punctured the gallon of milk, then I would have tried to save the awkward situation and ended up falling on the television set which would have toppled over, pulling out the extension plug, which would have sent off electricals sparks that would have ignited the curtains. Not forgetting the knife that would have gone straight through my foot as I howled in pain.

Answer 3

I was about 13, going on 14 years old when this one happened.

My mother wanted to defrost the refrigerator, and so, since she was more than a little bit of a passive-aggressive drunk about things, she guilt-tripped *me* into doing it. I had never done this sort of thing before....

So I did everything I thought I was supposed to do, turned the fridge off (it was an older model that didn't defrost itself), cleared it out, cleaned it up and set a tub of nearly boiling hot water under the freezer, which had it worst. And things were defrosting, if slowly. Trouble was, the fridge hadn't been defrosted in a while....and there were big chunks of ice all around the freezer area.

Yes, this was an ancient, old-school freezer, with handles that locked and latched mechanically and everything.

Still, there were chunks of ice around the freezer, and my mother, she had no patience....she wanted it done *right now*, so she gave me a knife and told me to cut away the ice.

Which I did. I was making good progress too...

Until. I *Stabbed*. The Freezer coils.

It was snowing *freon*. The kitchen stank for a week, and we had to beg the landlord to help us get a new fridge. And it was one of those deals where both my mom and older sister thought *I* was such a bonehead over this that *they* didn't let me wash my hair for a week....so I went a whole week smelling faintly of freon. Lovely. o_o

I just hope I didn't single-handedly put a hole in the ozone layer...

(nah, my aunts likely did more damage just from using the old-school Aqua-Net aerosol hair-sprays alone...*lol*)

Thanks for your time. ^_^

Answer 4

Well, look at it this way, at least you didnt puncture yourself, and have blood mixed with milk. That could have been even more dicy. Milk can easily be replaced, your blood is a bit harder to do. Take care and thank God for your good health.

Answer 5

I had the bright idea to mix the Jello by shaking it up down. I thought the lid was on, but it somehow "exploded." There was red Jello everywhere in the kitchen - countertop, cabinets, floor, window, and curtains. The only thing I could do was laugh, then clean it up.

Answer 6

One morning I woke up and I was so sleepy that I poured milk in the coffee machine instead of water.

I guess I needed some coffee.

Answer 7

nothing like that recently.

although awhile ago at a new place i was working in. they were showing me and someone else around. we were walking up the steps...yes you probably guessed it. i tripped going UP the stairs and landed on my face. lol

i wasnt laughing then but later on...i couldnt help but think how stupid & clutzy that was. not downing myself but i was totally oblivious to those stares..til i hit em face first. No injuries or anything just my pride.

:)

Answer 8

I have used my contact lens CLEANING solution instead of the wetting drops and my eyes were burning like hell....

Answer 9

I lit the bag on my head on fire, just for fun, now it wouldn't go out.

Answer 10

I met a boy whose physical appearance is similar to a crush I had/ have, thought he was my crush and greeted him calling him with my crush's name. Isn't my action stupider than yours?
