What's the Stupidest thing you've done recently?

I unplugged my sump pump a couple days before we got 4 inches of rain.....

I think I was using the grinder, and forgot to put it back like it was.....

So, I came home to 6 inches of water in my basement. how do I get 6 inches if it only rained 4?

Your neighbor's sump pump was running.

There is a creek near our garbage cans. There was some trash that had blown into the creek so I went in to get it.

Let's just say..no good deed will go unpunished.

hehe no just muddied them up with frog and duck poop/mud.Anyway that's what the early spring mud thaw felt like. I was sinking. I didn't fall in though.

That was a plus.whew

I had to laugh.

I put on platform sandals for the first time since last summer, before stepping out on this lovely spring day...and proceeded to walk at least 25 blocks.

Ow, ow, ow...

Well, as the day wore on (and on, and on) yesterday, it quickly became apparent that the stupidest thing I did was get out of bed. Srsly.

A friend did the stupidest thing a few weeks ago. I was at her house, we were watching a dvd. She had a flashlight in her hand from searching under the couch for the -ahem- "smoking accesory". At this point there was very dark scene in the flick, and I commented that something was about to 'get' the girl in the scene, my friend said "What is it", to which I replied, "I can't tell, it's too dark".

She pointed the (still on) flashlight at the tv. She knew she did a stupid thing, and tried to cover it up, but, the damage was done.

Built homemade ramps to load my lawn tractor on the F-250. Extremely bad idea. No broken bones, but I went straight to town the next morning and purchased a set.........

Three minutes ago I made a pot of coffee. I forgot the actual coffee. I made a pot of hot water.

I just wasted SO much energy.

Undertoad · 04-04-2010, 07:57 AM

I did that last week and when I poured the hot water back into the coffee maker, it made the coffee in like 30 seconds.

Shawnee123 · 04-04-2010, 08:01 AM

I didn't think of that! See how much energy I wasted? I poured cold water back into a too hot coffee maker and am lucky I didn't scald my face off!

Well, thank god you're not in charge of student loans or anything like that.

So I'm getting close to the end of my Twin Peaks obsession. 20 years after it was on TV, I am now almost through the 2nd and last season.

BUT...I remembered putting disc 4 into the mail, and I had one more ep on disc 5, so it's still at home. However, I didn't have disc 6 next in my netflix queue. I'll have to wait until next weekend to see the end of the series.

I will get to see W. I wonder if it's any good?

squirell nutkin · 04-09-2010, 09:25 PM

I got bogged down in season three of the sopranos and ended up reading the synopsis on wikipedia.

I would consider watching the last bit of twin peaks or Northern Exposure if it were available streaming on netflix.

Put off doing homework until an hour before it was due. I knew I needed more time to figure this project out, I had to miss a class this week so I have no real clue whats going on. I just turned in a program that will not compile. Fuck.
