Last night, I was an idiot. After an outing with the guys, we went back to my buddy's place to hang out for a bit. Thinking it was a good idea, I decided to try and back up into his driveway instead of just parking on the street like I could have. This didn't go so well. I botched and my muffler hit the edge of a sidewalk. I drive a Mustang, so yea... it's low to the ground. I heard a big bang, then all of a sudden the car started to rattle. Turns out the force of the hit screwed up the whole exhaust system and bent some crap underneath the car...
This may set me back a chunk of cash now. Seems I can never win... but being a moron really got the best of me. Sigh. Any stories, anyone?

I have one that happened to me recently. I was cooking some noodles and when I went to strain out the noodles, a large about of piping, hot water went through my shirt and left me with first & second degree burns on my stomach. It stung like hell for about two weeks. Looking at it, now, it looks pretty badass.

Thinking it was a good idea, I decided to try and back up into his driveway instead of just parking on the street like I could have. This didn't go so well. I botched and my muffler hit the edge of a sidewalk. I drive a Mustang, so yea... it's low to the ground. I heard a big bang, then all of a sudden the car started to rattle. Turns out the force of the hit screwed up the whole exhaust system and bent some crap underneath the car... This may set me back a chunk of cash now. Seems I can never win... but being a moron really got the best of me. Sigh. Any stories, anyone? I feel your pain man, sucks. I once was lost & went down this insanely narrow neighborhood street and needed to turn around. The street had ditches on each side & driveways that were even too narrow & close to the edge of the ditch for my vehicle to pull into. I try to turn around on this narrow street & while backing up, my truck got stuck in the ditch behind me. It was so narrow that I was now blocking the entire street (with a garbage truck now trying to go down it). Luckily someone drove up behind me with a rope & the garbage truck pulled me out. Luckiest I've ever been: I once went to a water park, walk out late at night & my window was busted (wallet gone from the middle console). I wasn't the only one...the thief hit almost every car in the lot. I wait with a friend to report it, but then they tell me to go to the closest police station. I go & it's dark beyond belief. There was such little lighting, me, nor my friend could see anything even with brights on. As I'm leaving, the cops watching, I proceed to drive straight off the road & down a decline of grass that was about 20 feet down (thankfully at a safe angle where my truck didn't topple over). Either way, the cops just watched me drive down this hill and I'm just sitting at the bottom laughing & thinking WTF do I do now. Luckily they didn't say a word...just watched me find my way out of the spot because of a lucky spot farther down that was prob created for state workers to drive into if needed. So my truck made it out of there with a miracle lol & no questions from cops on why I did it. When I say it was dark, I was afraid to get out of my car because I thought I'd fall into a black hole. I waited minutes before trying to go - it was insane. |

Several, like pulling out too far and such, but I burned eggs not too long ago, which is my stupidest. It smelled for so long. My grandmother had to light a candle to save us our senses. I do not know how to cook. Ha.

An example of being.... not so smart?
Years ago when I worked at the grocery store. I was pushing some Milk racks. One Milk Rack started tipping over so I reached out to catch it. I caught it but that's when 1 gallon of milk fell off the rack. I let go of the rack to try and catch the 1 gallon of milk.
I caught the gallon of milk but since I let go of the rack the rack fell right back onto me. I put my hands up to try and catch the rack but I just ended up breaking my pinky finger and the rack fell and lots of gallons of milk were spilled. Had I just let that one gallon of milk fall the rack would not have fallen, all that milk wouldnt have spilled thus making a mess, and my finger would be fine.
To this day my pinky finger bends outwards away from my thumb at a 45 degree angle.

I'm pretty bad about this. Once I went into a car wash Austin (one of the spray and wash types where you wash it yourself). After I was done I was going to return around by pulling through abd going around the back. What I didn't know or realize was that the station was at the top of a hill and for some stupid reason there was no curb. I didn't see the edge, and bam! There's the car (suv) teetering on the brink, ass in the air. I luckily had my phone. I called a tow truck and he saved me from falling to my death (more likely injury and car totalment).
So that was one. I also tend to have a bit of a road rage problem. I've been so mad I've threatened to kill anther driver (not that I would, it's just one of many stupid things that I said in the heat of the moment that could've gotten me arrested or killed.) For years I've gotten away free, but on this occasion I got some comeuppance. This one happened more recently. Of course I was with my now ex lady at the time, (the ending had nothing to do with this, I had to move away) so I looked like an even bigger idiot. Anyway, we took a day trip to Ashland Oregon, it was about a two hour drive. It was now like 9 pm, and I was exhausted. We were still a good hour and a half from home. There was construction on the freeway, the kind where those concrete barriers are right on the edge of the road, so there is no shoulder to speak of. A long line of trucks are going super slow in the proper lane. I want to pass, and been to do so...only to be slowed considerably by someone going ten miles under the speed limit in the fast lane. I have zero patience anyway, and now I'm nervous about my lack of extra room, being stuck between trucks and concrete, and I just want to get home. I angrily tailgate really badly until we finally pass the trucks. I'm flipping this person off with both fingers, cursing them out with the window open, and I threw a balled up napkin at them (going 70 on the freeway...total waste). Anyway, about 45 minutes goes by, and I'm well on my way home. I've forgotten about the incident completely. Then I see someone following closely...it's a cop. I have no idea what he wants.
Turns out, one of his of duty buddies saw the whole thing and was following me until this guy was free to get me. Of course I lied to the cops, but they knew. There was the firm but fair cop and the dick cop, which hashes all to often. The hardass was saying things like "you're obviously a very angry young man". I was smart enough to talk my way out of going to mandated anger management, but there was no talking my way out of trouble. At this point I realized that the dick cop wanted to burn me, so I cooperated 100% from there.
Luckily it was the firm but fair cop who cited me. I got a ticket for tailgating. It could have been so much worse, and I deserved so much worse. I could've gotten: wreckless driving, speeding, littering, failing to signal, and probably some other stuff. I can't say I've changed my ways, but I'm working on it and getting better. I still have no patience though.
I'm kind of like Shawn Michaels, I'll make every mistake in the book and learn from them rather than do it right the first time.

I piss myself off more than anything. I missed the "off" in that sentence at first.. ... and it reminded me of the one time in high school when I accidentally wasn't paying attention and somehow peed all over my jeans and.. well, yeah. Stupid things happen. |
