The 'I'm stupid thread'

[Goliath]

Here's the idea:

Don't be a wuss and post something that you slapped yourself in the face for later, something you regretted or something that you did that was just ridiculously stupid/hilarious (preferably hilarious.)

Here's a few I can think of:

1) Didn't back up my 2000+ (6gigs) of Everquest screenshots from Original through Velious and lost every single one of them.

2) Told myself that Sign Language would never count as a foreign language for a degree and since I KNEW it wouldn't I didn't bother to ask anyone and took 4 semesters of painful, mindnumbing Spanish only to find out that Sign Language did indeed count in my third semester.

3) Ate 2 bags of top ramen before getting plastered and throwing it all up. I can't eat noodles anymore.

Alright well you get the idea...GO!

HAHA RETARD

I don't know if this qualifies, but it definitely had me calling myself a dumbass.

I was at work yesterday and went to the bathroom, stood up and started pulling my pants back up and realized I put my boxers on inside out. Grats on getting dressed in the dark I guess. Not particularly hilarious but it's the only thing recent I can think of. :P

I once thought that the phrase "blacker the berry sweeter the juice" was true cause I thought it was like dark meat on a turkey. As the dark meat has more flavor.

Happened last week in a hotel: I got up in the middle of the night and started to take a leak in the toilet. I moved around cause my piss wasn't landing in the water. No matter what way I moved I couldnt get it to hit the water.... I stopped pissing and turned the light back on... yeah the seat was down. What fun cleaning up a mess of piss at 3am.

I read the first post.

Let a friend drive my car. Twice.

Learned that lesson the hard way.

2000? Weak.

I had over 14k from release to about a year and a half ago.

That phrase actually does have a literal origin, though not with turkey meat. Berries that mature on the vine/bush/tree/whatever longer will grow darker and have a higher sugar content than lighter/less mature berries. So darker berries really do have sweeter juice.

Hmm, thats awesome. Will definitely tuck that one away for when I get stranded near berries next!

This thread is pretty dumb though, needs more screenshot.

When I was around 8 years old I had been warned about avoiding strangers so much that I would turn my face away whenever a car drove past me.

I ended up walking head-first into a tree.

The real kicker: my house was across the street.

I've yet to meet a single person that had compiled more screenshots than me from just original through Velious. Bravo.

Think I was 12 or 13 and this girl I hung out with all summer asked to date at the end of summer vaction. I said no(no idea why) she never talked to me again and I found out later she was a prom queen...FUCK!

[GaliemVaelant]

I posted in a thread once where I was supposed to call myself a dumbass. Can't figure out why I did it, but if I could go back, I probably wouldn't do it again.
edit: Damnit! >< That was this thread! Time travel has done me no good!

My friend was about a hundred feet ahead of me at UCSD, and got stopped by an RA for having a beer. Instead of dropping my beer and running, I walked over and was also detained.

I got a minor in possession charge, and have subsequently been rejected by two English teach-abroad programs for having a 'criminal history'.

I am not proud .

I took pictures of absolutely everything. I took pictures of geometry that amused me. I had random pictures of up close textures of walls, etc, or quest text, yada yada. I may have been retarded at the time.
