What was the dumbest thing you were ever dared to do in your life, and you actually did it??



For me...Licking a metal post in -30 below weather as a kid. Part of me is still on that post.

I was wearing a girlfriend's slippers one morning, pink with pompoms and all... She dared me to go to the store in them so of course I did. I did enjoy the looks of puzzlement on people's faces

Got married? ???

I second that one!!

I was trying to forget that one

So dumbest thing I've done(by myself)..

I grew up where it snowed, alot. I had an old pair tennis shoes with literally no traction on them...I thought if I waxed the bottom of them they'd make great skis....so I took them on a test drive down a big hill....it worked too well...until the bump..and then. ...SNAP..broken ankle

I would have liked to have seen that

I knew that answer would come up.

That is about as bad as making a sleigh out of one ski with no control....disaster

Oh my, so many things I've done. Small ones like the Op, I never licked a pole, I knew that was foolish, because I'd experienced problems with ice cubes, and understood.
But foolish choices...

I went out for the newspaper one early winter, wearing only skivvies and a robe, and slippers, after a night of ice rain. I fell all the way down the stone steps from my front door into the street below.

I got into a game throwing plastic bowling pins at my brother, and broke his nose.

While working on a roof, and installing siding, I decided NOT to climb down the ladder, carefully move it two feet, and then climb back up to hammer in the last nail needed. Instead, I carefully leaned out as far as I could to one side, took one foot off the ladder and put it on the 45 degree angle roof for balance, and tried to hit the nail. I fell twenty feet to the ground and landed on my back. Luckily, I was neither dead nor paralyzed, but it was a near thing.

WORST choice I made, wasn't my dreadful disaster of a marriage, though. I got good kids from that, and a lot of other positive experiences. My WORST romantic choice, was to try to win back a girl who cheated on me, back when I was very young. That cost me far more dearly, psychologically and in other ways. Because to do that, I had to ignore not only my own emotional well being, I had to set aside every moral and philosophical principle I had come to understand by that point.

And after all that you have become 10 times the man you may have been.

Needless to say I must've looked like a loon to those poor barely-awakened Saturday-morning shoppers

my story isn't as entertaining.
the dumbest thing I used to do was street racing when I first had my license

Who knows, you may have made a big splash without even knowing it

Asked somebody to hold my beer while I did something really stupid.
Guy took off with my beer.

You were one of many who tried this at the first

Now that....is low down

So she was that good in between the sheets that only your brainless head was working???

I hate it when that happens.
