The dumbest thing I did...

Ok, folks I need a laugh or two. What is the dumbest thing you ever did... or started to do?

1. DID: A piece of trim came off a car I use to own. No problem! Superglue to the rescue. Valuable lesson learned: Superglue is great for sticking a piece of trim back on your car. 2nd Valuable lesson learned: It doesn't take much Superglue on your fingers to stick YOU to the car. 3rd (and most important) Valuable Lesson learned: It hurts like everything to "pry" yourself from the side of your car when you have been Superglued to it!

2. ALMOST DID: Trying to remove a brittle piece of rubber hose on my motor home. It was "stuck" on a steel line. Idea: Heat the leaking rubber line with propane torch. Rubber softens, slides off of steel line. KIDS...DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME... especially if, like me, you are working on a gasolne fuel line! I didn't do it, but I had already gotten the torch and lit it and was about to touch it to the line when the patron saint of people who's about to do something really stupid spoke to me and said, "Huh... I wouldn't do that, if I were you".


Ok, bravehearts. share YOUR greatest blunder and/or near blunder! C'mon, we won't laugh at you, we'll laugh with you!

This is in honor of Timmy who inspired this thread with his "Replacing water filter is EASY" post!

And that's probably not the dumbest thing I ever did!

Re: The dumbest thing I did...

I thought this would be a good and funny thread to give us a break from, well, those that aren't so good and funny. Guess I'm the only guy that does dumb stuff. (Or will admit to it!)

As a young kid (10) I tried to jump a tricycle over a 2 foot ramp. Not good. Bloody nose, black eye, tricycle hit the young ones, missed up arm, lump on head. Never again did I try jumping a tricycle. 2 wheel bikes and motorcycles only.

You remind me so much of my boys.

Oh wait..maybe of myself too.

My oldest recently had a broken bone watch due to jumping his brother's scooter over a speed bump. The jump was spectacular I hear, the fall even more so. Btw, he's 10 right now. lol

Re: The dumbest thing I did...

I tried to sled down a hill on wet grass once. Snow is water, right? Snow is wet. Grass was wet. Logical conclusion: Sleds will slide on wet grass as well as on wet snow. Logical result. Bloody nose and a mouth full of wet grass. Analysis: Right up there with David Letterman's "Stupid Human Tricks!

From the files of Stephen Hoover-

Well... we had this ice storm about a month ago... major ice!

The stuff was about 1/2" thick! All my cars are parked outside in the drive, and I was trying to figure the best method for removing the ice...

So, I get my rubber mallet...

Just thump the ice a couple times and it pops right off! I really got into it. In about 30 minutes I had cleared three vehicles.



So..... about a week later I started noticing what appeared to be hail damage on the minivan...

Closer inspection shows the hailstorm got ALL THREE VEHICLES!!

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!
