Oops: Thread for sharing stupid things you did

oh dear.....this could be the longest post in history if I started listing stuff.

I will go with one that happened when I was a little kid.

I was about 5 at the time.
Driving down the road asparagus hunting for the second day in a row I saw a sign that said sharp curves ahead. I exclaimed "HEY! Those were here yesterday too!". You mean they DON'T iron the road at night?

There was a time when I didn't realize that wearing big old rubber boots meant you would not feel the shock from the elctric fence. So I convinced the young girl, who was dressed in her finest Sunday best, to touch the fence while her parents were looking at potential young bulls for their start up farm after church one Sunday.

...poor thing had to be pried off.

Back to 1980, Sheriff Academy. I would use one gun to practice target and combat training, then use a VERY clean second gun, for the uniform inspections. One day the TAC Sargent asked to see the gun I used for the range, not the show piece! WOW was I in trouble!!

Made fajitas with meat marinated with fresh lime. Thought I took out the lime when I served everything. Lime rinds look a lot like green bell pepper, but boy do they taste different....

I didn't know that we have to peal a cucumber, to make a salad taste right! Long time ago, though!

My cat is notorious for bringing back lovely presents of chipmunk corpses....I opened the door to congratulate him and he ran right inside while carrying the chipmunk! Plot twist....it wasn't dead. Guess who spent the next 20 mins trying to catch a half dead chipmunk with a cat chasing after it?

Here's really stupid for you:

Sold my house right before the pandemic. Moved in with my mom. Found a house. Got a loan. Appraisal came back low, so I have to shell out another 14k. Loan agent miscalculated my closing costs. Now, in addition to my hefty down payment, I have to shell out 40k more than I anticipated. Guess which forty-something loser is probably stuck living with mom for a while???

Shoulda never sold my house....

when I was little and stupid I ate an onion. Not a tasty onion, an old, sprouting onion. As you could’ve guessed, it tasted horrible so I started trying to clean my mouth with dish soap. I was hiccuping bubbles for days.

It was fun though. 10/10 I would do it again.

The soap or the onion?
