Stupid (special) things you've done
Discussion
There might be a thread on this already but search hasn't found it.
Yesterday I went and fetched some ice for the drink I was about to have.
I'm standing there glass in one hand, ice tray in the other. Instead of bashing the ice tray to get the cubes out I went and slammed a pint glass onto a granite worktop, completely obliterating the glass.
fortunately the home realised I'd gone at this point and came to collect me
Have you done anything equally as "special"

When I was about 11 I got my mums lipstick and wrote "f
k" on her windowsill in the bedroom. Seeing as my two brothers didnt know I did it we all protested out innocence.
My mum then said "Who ever tells me they did it gets a Mars bar"
"I did it, I did it" My hand shot up!
Mum smacked my bum and sent me to bed, my elder brother was smirking and when I said "Where is my Mars bar then?" to my mum he cracked up.
Oh how happy I am when that one comes out at family meetings.

most special i have done was very close to a darwin award:
Got a snazzy new multifuel stove, so i thought i would have a play with it. In the kitchen. Under a wooden cabinet. The 3 ft flame when priming the stove didn't mix well with my kitchen decor, neither did me spraying a fire extinguisher everywhere.

You were lucky. A chap my father knew went to bash in the cork of a wine bottle - except that the bottle broke and cut an artery...
Just about everything i do is "special". Probably my worst one involves going into town( a 4 mile trip), parking the car, buying what i wanted and then........walking home!! Our lass asked me where the car was.
" what car??"
"you took it with you didnt you??"
Oh poop!!! I got plenty of exercise that day!

When I was around 14, my Mum called and asked me to make some mash potato for when she returned for dinner.
I peeled the potatoes, put them in a bowl, and started mashing away. Nothing worked, so cut them smaller. Still nothing, I remembered she poured milk on them, that must soften them up - nothing. More milk, nothing. Soaked them in milk, nothing.
No-one told me you have to cook them first! Lucky I have a Chef these days instead!!

Already used this in a different thread, but it's my most recent one:
Motorway service station, bought a coffee. Went from till to the 'stand' with the sugar etc. Opened a packet of sugar, poured the sugar in the bin, threw the empty packet in the coffee.
I was half way out of the shop before I realised.....
Ho hum.
ETA: Bugger, repost, obviously I'm not the only one.
