When did you last make a big idiot out of yourself?

[Alfaholic]

I recently on this forum claimed, quite pointlessly and totally off topic, that you can see your entire person in any sized mirror if it's far enough away...

Other notable red moments in my life:

1) Years ago, I was impatient while parked in a busy roadhouse. The exit was blocked by cars in front of me who were still eating, so I decided to reverse out instead. Being young and overconfident in my reversing skills, I did this rather quickly, and did not notice a six foot tall decorative coke bottle made of concrete until I reversed into it. This punctured a tyre, meaning I then had to spend ten minutes changing the flat in front of all the witnesses to my actions. By the time I was finished, the conventional exit route was clear...

2) Actually I can't think of any more... thankfully

My most embarassing time was when I was working in a supermarket. We were told to put up Christmas decorations so we started hanging up these huge wooden Christmas banners. I put the last one up , forgot about the one I had put up very close to me, turned and jumped off the ladder and smacked my head straight into the one of the signs. I landed on the floor in a crumpled embarassed mess. It was a complete wipeout.

Exactly. That's a quote to live by. Before you do anything, check yourself.

It seems your head has a habit of hitting things. So, your head must have hit Famine's puck rather than the other way round?

Possibly. Although I think Famine's puck was intentionally aimed at my head because it almost happened a second time.

I can’t really think of anything. Normally when I make an ass out of myself it’s on purpose, so I dunno…

Does wasting $20 on me count?

YES!

Can't really remember anything recent, but just before I was doing my GCSE exams about 18 months ago me and a friend decided to see how long we could stay awake. He managed 30-40 hours whereas I went on to get a total of 82 hours, going to sleep the Sunday afternoon with exams on the Monday. Monday's English exams passed without incident, but it all caught up with me on the Tuesday afternoon. I'd finished my Science exam early and had over an hour to spare, so I sat there getting very bored, ending up with me falling asleep in a hall of 200+ people. I was only awoken by a teacher when I was questioned as to why I hadn't left with the rest of my row at the end of the exam.

That's kind of embarrassing, but not very stupid, I mean you were preparing for exams. A big idiot would blow off studying all together.

The cigarette lighter thing reminds me of something else I did.

One day I was standing on a chair cleaning the upper parts of my closet, and I looked up at an interesting closet light that had never been used. It was filled in with cocking (we had had ant problems with it before), so i decided it would be good to take the cocking out and see if it would work. Once out there were no ants, as you might have been expecting, but as i looked up at it something came over me. I just stood there, looking at it, and after all that decided to put my finger in it an press just a tiny bit.

I immediately felt a pulsing throughout my entire body and fell to the floor because of my now numbed legs. I laid there on the floor for a bit, my heart beating like crazy, and I thought to myself "Why in the hell did you just do that!"

Yesterday I was at the mall with a bunch of my friends and I came across 2 of my friends from my old school (I transfered high schools this year). It just so happens these friends of mine are really hot cheerleaders. So I hear "George!" and I turn around and give them both hugs, but being the not so slick kid I am I stepped of one of there feet. I don't think she cared much though, thank God.

I walked into a bathroom and once in the stall i hear a high pitched giggle as someone walked in. I think to myself "somebodies gunna be having a fun time in here". As I think that I look down, "hey, that's not usually there. Oh crap, i'm in the wrong bathroom ". Not only that, as I walk out of the stall, I decide to try to explain the mix-up to a lady waiting for her daughters as I quickly walk out the door.

Ive never felt so embarrassed in my life. It didn't help any that the lady and everyone outside the bathroom gave me a look like i'm the devil or something

I hate to say but freshman year I was in gym class with my friend who was a girl and we both wanted to get out of class for a few minutes so we decide to go to the bathroom. When we get to the hall she headed for one door and I headed towards the other. It turns out I went into the girls room! I stood there for a moment wondering were the urinals went, when she walked in laughing. It was funny but embarrasing.

I'm about to make a big idiot of myself by admitting this to you guys...

Last night I had to drive my friend somewhere, and wait in the car for her...for 3 hours. Anyway, my boredom got the better of me and I ended up sticking my finger in the cigarette lighter to see if it was hot.

It was. Very.

Did I just hear the crack of w whip?

 

[benzoboy]

I'm making an ass of myself telling everyone this ¬_¬

Anywho, last friday our school had a non-uniform day and I wore my usual: AC/DC T-Shirt and baggy jeans with Hurleys

So I'm talking to like 5 hot girls in town after school (I'm kinda a loser >.<) so I'm like 'Omfg! This is good!'

This goes on for 10 seconds when some jackass de-bags or 'kegs' me (www.urbandictionary.com), now I don't really mind being de-bagged

So anyway I turn around and I'm like 'Hahaha very funny ****face' when I hear a scream from behind me, I turn around and this is what I saw:

5 HAWT girls, standing there, staring at myself. So I go 'What's so bad?' So I look down and my boxers are around my ankles ¬_¬

That is rather amusing.

I actually made a huge fool out of some jack@$$ on my high school football team. I'm a rather small guy and he was a fairly big one. Let me explain this in detail.

I'm sure you know that thing when somebody gets on the ground behind you and grabs your foot, then somebody shoves you and you go flying.

Well I saw this coming. I let one guy grab my foot. And when the "Jack@$$" tried to shove me I ducked. The way this kid shoved you is he took a 3 step run at you. Well when I ducked he had the momentum to get over my shoulders. I then stood up and flung him into the air.

It was HILARIOUS!!!!! Even the team jack@$$ was laughing his head off at what I had done to him.

Nobody knew I had practiced wrestling moves on my big brother since I was 9 years old. And that I had amazing reflexes in the heat of the moment.

 

[MistaX]

Oh, I just thought of this one.

Back when I had the Z28, I was out driving one night at 3AM, in the middle of nowhere, on a foggy night.

I was pulled over for generally being the only car on the road, and having a brake light out.

The cop asked me why I was braking a little erratically, which I replied:

"It's foggy, I can't see 3 car lengths in front of me, and on top of that this car is a little hard to drive at night

I meant when it was damp, but it came out as night and I didn't realize it until after he let me go.

Then call me a big idiot, I did no preparation for the exams what so ever

 

[Skid Mark 33]

You don't know me.

I can't be bothered picking out and contemplating the personal digs in this thread, so I'll just carry with another story of idiocy.
I did food tech at GCSE and set fire to the same oven 3 times.

Sorry. I know I don't know you. What I said was just a joke but your saw it diffently. I didn't mean to offend you!

 

[Danny]

Sorry. I know I don't know you. What I said was just a joke but your saw it diffently. I didn't mean to offend you!

I was being facetious.

go to throw a bana skin out the window at 50mph so I opened the door, not wound down the window that was 40 minutes ago

Not really much of a public embarrassment, but this morning when I woke up and poured myself a glass of orange juice, I put the juice container into the cupboard where the cups were when I was done instead of in the fridge.

This usually happpens at least a couple times a year to me.

 

[Skid Mark 33]

When I reversed into my mates car

And a video of me at a party helping a girl that was passed out, except it looks like I wasn't exactly helping in the video....

What does it look like you were doing? Oh, actually let me guess. She passed out, and she wasn't breathing, so you were giving her a mouth to mouth to try to get jer breathing again. But it looked like you kissing her, am I right?

 

[SolidSnake15]

I got caught staring at a carton of orange juice... It said concentrate.

Old joke I know.

Way back, like when the Sahara was a forest, I used to work in an ice-skating rink.
Well, one evening, I had been stuck behind the counter giving out skates and dispensing safety advice, and I believe that I even put a dime hollow on a pair of Daoust Hockey Skates (my own).
By the half-way point of the session, I hadn't been out on the ice yet, and was getting pretty antsy to get my freshly sharpened skates on and take a few hot laps.

When I finally get out there, I'm loosening up, a few feet forwards, a few feet backwards, a couple of cross-overs, etc. I have the ice almost all to myself, so I turn up the speed a good bit, but forget about the uneven slice across the ice.

I hit it as I was turning around to go backwards and fell. I slid, spinning in a variety of positions (on my back, face, and finally on my knees) for about 20 feet.

I was slightly embarrassed as I rarely fell, and almost never without "assistance".
But, as I said, I had the ice to myself. I was sure none of the other "rink-rats" had seen me, and my wonderous prat-fall.

When I got to the lobby, about ten of my closest rink-rat friends were waiting for me.
They were singing Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust".

Today, at work.

I was trying to re-fill the milkshake machine, so I cut open a small hole in the packet, and pressed. Without turning it around. The result - lots of mixture on the top of the machine, none in the actual tank.

I usually have one or two complete-fool moments a week.

What are you doing driving at 15 years old? And littering?
