A couple of highlights are getting married young, staying married way too long to a woman who makes Elsa look warm by comparison. After a few months after the divorce, I moved in with a rebound and then several months later, broke up with her on her birthday.

Best move was moving the hell away from there. Now, I live alone and have a pretty decent job.

I suffer greatly from imposter syndrome and I don't look forward to the day when my kids may not want to go to college or something and I have to tell them how important it is. I can tell them how much I regret my decision and they can say I've done just fine despite my bad choices.


So maybe don't tell them that? College is becoming less and less a necessity and more and more of a burden for anyone who falls for it.

Never made up with my brother before he died. He was a pretty abusive alcoholic though but towards the end he was just pathetic and miserable. It still haunts me sometimes.

I don’t think this is really “stupid” as much of an impossible situation you didn’t deserve. I’m sorry to hear that. :(

Idk this is more of a :therapy: moment but I've had a lot of shared childhood memories come up since and it's been bitter. I've gotta pay the grave a visit one of these days.

BACK THEN: Started working in glorious state service almost 24 years ago.
When I started, I lived at home, single, no bills, no kids so I began maxing out my 457 plan at 25% of my gross pay. That more/less was around $400-500 a paycheck depending on overtime, so roughly $800-1k a month invested for 12 years or so before wife/kids ended that. Still kept investing but at about $120 a paycheck more or less. 100% in stocks. 100% tax deferred.

TODAY: 15 months till voluntary retirement.
Over $400k in my 457 plan as of last statement this month. Pension numbers looking good. Will walk away with medical benefits for life as well.

STUPIDITY: Wasted time with the Marines, wasted time getting a degree. Should have started working/investing right away. Buying that Ford Bronco II, it broke my heart.

I was walking around in my garage with an old pen in my mouth. It was one of those bic crystal pens but it was missing the plug on the end so it was just a hollow plastic tube.

I walked into a door face first, and I jammed that loving pen into the roof of my mouth and it carved out a trench of flesh that ended up scarring. There was so much blood, and I had to explain to my wife what happened. Those pens still make me nervous.

I was over at a friends house and their parents had just set out the parts for a volleyball net in the backyard because the weather was getting nice. My friend and I look at the long pvc tubes used to hold up the net and decide it would be a great idea to joust with them. We squared off about 10 feet apart and then ran toward each other. I won the joust (got my friend in the gut) but it was a phyrric victory cause that made them jerk their "lance" upwards directly into my face/eyes. I had a nasty shiner for a while (which was fun to explain) but hey I still have that eye!

When I was a 14-15 my best friend and I did some incredibly stupid things in cars on gravel roads.

When we were 14 we took his parents ‘93 GMC Jimmy and spent an entire day seeing how fast we could go and still make this 90 degree corner that had huge drop offs on both sides. 70mph is when we decided to quit. That was loving stupid.

100+mph in old cars on hilly gravel roads. The one thing that really scared the poo poo out of me is when my back tire caught in the loose stuff. We started fish tailing. Spun around several times and stopped right in the middle of the road. We both just stared at each other. I thought my heart was going to jump straight out of my chest. I can remember that like it was yesterday. Should have rolled the car into the ditch and probably died on that one. Dumb dumb dumb.

jesus christ i just had like, a flashback

i must have been 4 or 5 and i was at a friend's house, pretending to be a mosquito with the tube of a broken plastic golf club in my mouth

i was walking through a doorway to the garage and smashed it into the bottom of the doorjamb and it went through the roof of my mouth. blood just gushed out the bottom of the tube so fast that i remember it looked practically chunky before i passed out or repressed everything. i remember one other brief moment of being awake right before having emergency oral surgery with none of my family around.

Put a q-tip in my ear, forgot it was there and hit the side of my head with my hand. So much blood and I couldn't stand high frequencies in that ear for years. Luckily I was a teenager so I didn't suffer any permanent hearing loss.

Didn't clean a contact lens properly then proceeded to get wasted. When I went to take them out, my eyes had dried up loads and I ended up giving myself a corneal abrasion. Couln't stand to be in basically any light for weeks and had to get a needle in my eye during treatment. Can still see the tiny scar over my pupil.

Just the other week I tried to open a bottle of maple syrup with my teeth. I had been up all night and didn't think to just, you know, run it under the hot tap. Ended up snapping off a fingernail sized chunk of one of my molars.

Moral of the story: don't put unnecessary poo poo in any of your orifices. It's a minor miracle I've never been hospitalised.

When I see your posting
College Slice
Once in high school chemistry, I needed a reagent that was considered "off-limits" for the purposes of the lab exercise. I spied it at the back of a crowded fume hood. So, I surreptitiously leaned inside the fume hood to reach it. Problem was that I unintentionally inserted my nose directly over really concentrated HCl and burned out every vessel in my nose. I bled everywhere and had to get my nose cauterized, but at least I became an urban legend for my teacher to tell future generations of students.

We used to play an especially stupid game of chicken. Everyone stood in an open field and one person fired an arrow straight up in the air (field tip, not a broadhead). If you ran you were a chicken and got beat up. You couldn't see the arrow at its apex, so you usually couldn't spot it on the way down until you heard it hit.

We were really dumb teenagers.

I was cutting a window in my computer case (lol the late 90s/early 00s) and decided not to wear safety glasses because I thought my regular glasses were enough protection. I got a spark in my eye which I didn't realize until the next day at work when my eye wouldn't stop watering. I had to have the eye DRILLED at the ER, which was loving terrifying. Even worse was having to get it drilled again by a specialist a few days later to get the rust string.

By far the stupidest thing I've ever done was trusting a girlfriend when she said she was on birth control.
