Tell Me- Stupid Things You've Done That'd Make Others "Say I Told You So"

Not sure if there's a thread of this already but I'll risk post anyways.

It's like the title says, what are times that you've done something dumb or impractial that's make someone you know say if they were or actually were there say/said I those annoying words; "I told you so"

I'll start it off. My best friend came over yesterday and we hung out, she gave me Brazilian peppers as a gift since she knows I love hot stuff. I teased her then that I'd try snacking them sometime. She said, "yeah, and i'll be laughing when you gag." So, i tried some a few moments ago. It was all fun and good until I swallowed a few seeds. Then, as I am gagging and choking from the tiny spice trail it made as it painfully slowly made it's way down my throat, I imagined her saying those evil words thinking,"Damn she's good." Then I made a mad dash for the milkless fridge for some milk and settled with yogurt.

So, what's your dumb moment that'd make someone you know say those words to you?

One of the funniest ones for me involves a spice as well. I came home from school one day with a friend, and my mom offered us a little slice of habanero peppers.

We took 'em, ate them, and were under the tap in seconds, our mouths burning. This went on for a good five minutes and then we went into the bathroom upstairs. At that time my mouth was still tingling, and I went into the bathroom to wash off my face from sweat. I realized I still had my contacts in, so I reached in to take them out...

Well, it turned out I should've washed my hands off first, because they still had lots of the pepper juice on them. As soon as I put my finger in my eye to take out my contact, it roared with pain and I was instantly blinded. I could not even open my eye and it was streaming with tears. It was exactly like being maced, because then the tears started to burn my face too.

This isn't the end! The next morning, before I went to school, I went to my contacts and thought that the solution and a cleaning would have cleansed them from habanero pepper juice. Geez, was this a stupid assumption. I ended up running around my house screaming for five minutes, bumping into walls and tripping, in the worst possible ocular pain. My sisters were freaked out, "What the hell is wrong with you? What'd you do?"

So, needless to say, I took the contact out and never put it in again.

ad say one of them moments was wen i was out free running with some of my friends and we got on to my old high school (it has three buildings vernon, woodbank and curzon all 2 stories aprt from vernon.) Now were just got on vernon and we sat there for a bit and then my friend said lets get on woodbank so after we got off we headed over and got on wood bank.

Now there is a difference to floor size woodbank had massive ceilings so the floors were higher so it was about the hight of a small ish house. I was on the top of the first floor and me friend said i bet you cant jump that and i bet you wont hurt yaself if ya do.

Now i never let down a challenge. i saw my friend pete (there was 4 of us pete dec max and me) jump off it by dangerilng. Wen he hit the floor he said that is massive dont try it. now he was the one who said that i cudnt do it so i thought oh he is just pissing me around. I moved back a few feet and ran and jumped. This is what i said at normal speaking speed as i was in the air. Oh shit how much air time do u want. I was in mid roll in the air because i didnt think it was that high. Wen i hit the ground all of my weight hit the ground(now at the time i was 12and a half stone now am 11:) so am prity strong at climbing) i screamed as i hit the floor and he came over to me and wen told ya. now are you ok. it felt like i was hit by a car on my bike again lol

CoLd BlooDed, OMG.. you poor thing! I really shouldn't laugh but.. :laughtillhurts:
.

No, no, if it wasn't meant to be laughed at, I wouldn't have put it up. It WAS pretty damn stupid. :D

The funny thing was, when I got to school, everyone was kinda looking at me, and one kid eventually asked, "Your eye is really red... are you stoned?"

To which I replied, through laughs, "No, man... just half baked."

haha cold blooded, funny story man

Oh god, where to begin... i've had so many of these "crap i shouldn't have done that" moments in my life it's hard to count O_O

One happened in high school chemistry when we had this glacial acetic acid we were doing an experiment with i was like "hmmm... acetic acid... so it's just vinegar", my friend says "just vinegar, right... i'll pay you two bucks to smell it."
"done!", so i stick my nose over the bottle and smell it, it's like vinegar but 100000 times more powerful. I take a lap around the classroom attempting to blow the stuff out of my nose yelling "aaaaaah" in a nasal voice. I was blowing my nose the rest of the class period.

I have been friends with a lot of total pieces of shit. I am very drawn to the genius form of white trash because they really fascinate me and have an eccentricity and freedom about them that I think is really cool. But my whole life, people have asked me why in the Hell I hang out with people like that. I have on so many occasions taken up for them and said things like, "You don't even know them," and, "Well, he might seem like scum to people who don't know him, but he is actually pretty allright. You should get to know him before rushing to judgment." But Jesus Christ, the scum I always took up for ALWAYS turned out to be disloyal, undependable, self-serving garbage. Those friends knew that people thought that about them, and those friends were even pretty damn offended by it, and it infuriates me that they didn't try hard enough to prove otherwise. It is such a disappointment, but I guess garbage really is garbage and I need to start facing that.

Ok, i was in the kitchen once when i was small and my mum was walking in and out with a hot pan of sizzling sausages and i kept following her and she said "go away because you may get burnt!" but i continued to follow her and then i went face first into a red hot pan and had to go to hostpital for burns, they weren't really bad but they really stung then at the hostpital my mum said "i told you not to follow me round when i had a hot pan in my hand!!!"

my friend bet me 10 euro a few months ago that i couldnt eat half a packet of nutmeg, and he said it was because it tasted like shit. so i did it with some water, and i was like 'hey, that wasnt too bad, you ow me 10 euros now' to wich he replied, 'so your not feeling it yet then'. i was really confused, and he eventually told me that after like 5 hours you start tripping balls.
this whole thing was at about 12 in the morning on a saturday, and i didnt have to be anywhere, so i didnt really mind that much but was kinda pissed off, and acted as if i didnt believe him. i started to feel like i had flu or something, as i i was really weak, and we ended up just going into his house and watching tv for the rest of the night.
i was pretty angry the next day, but it wasnt that bad, and i knew he was just messin with me. i dont think he thought it would work, and didnt believe me when i started trippin while watchin tv. all i could do was stay still and focus on the tv.

Wow..derb! I don't know how much "half a packet" is but, as an FYI, nutmeg can be dangerous in large doses:

Per Wikepedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmeg):

In low doses, nutmeg produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response. Large doses of 30 g (~6 teaspoons) or more are dangerous, potentially inducing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain.

In amounts of 5–20 g (~1-4 teaspoons) it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria. It is a common misconception that nutmeg contains monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). This is untrue, however nutmeg should not be taken in combination with MAOIs [2]. A test was carried out on the substance which showed that, when ingested in large amounts, nutmeg takes on a similar chemical make-up to MDMA (ecstasy). However, use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular due to its unpleasant taste and its side effects, including dizziness, flushes, dry mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, and panic. A user will not experience a peak until approximately six hours after ingestion, and effects can linger for up to three days afterwards.

A risk in any large-quantity (over 25 g, ~5 teaspoons) ingestion of nutmeg is the onset of 'nutmeg poisoning', an acute psychiatric disorder marked by thought disorder, a sense of impending death, and agitation. Some cases have resulted in hospitalization.

Wow, that totally sucks. I would hate if that happened to me. But I'd probably look back on it and laugh later... sort of like I laughed at the part of your post re: bumping into walls and tripping. LOL. Really, though, that'd suck. Habaneros are HOT! :shock:

http://www.metacafe.co.il/watch/7049...ed_smoke_bomb/

Me and my friends decided to make that we got the ingridients and started to heat the mixture. It took really long so my mates say dude turn on the heat it takes to long. After a while everything blew up I got some burns only on my hand cause I was the last one who was mixing it... The house was full of smoke I run out of the kitchen my mates laugh their asses. Someone esle runs it grabs the flaming pot trows it out of the 4th floor. It was hilarious.

Im lucky I wasnt Injured badly only some burns but this is definetly the last time I mess with explosives sheesh. The guy I got the explosives from warned me about it, he said he tryed to make it too and burned himself. And my mates didnt think it was for real they were also drunk lol, they thought I was making a stew with that stuff. The inferno from that stuff got up to the cieling had to paint it today and clean the mess everything was in burning black sugar.

Moral: DONT EVER TRY THIS STUFF AT HOME

There are a lot safer ways to make a smoke bomb than with sugar and KNO3, personally i am favorable to the anarobic nitrocellulose reaction (pingpong balls in aluminum foil)
