Common Sense FTL

[Crimson Knight]

Ok, what was the silliest thing you've done, despite knowing NOT to do it?

Me? Recently I had a butane lighter. I lit something, but I held it the wrong way. Since you have to hold the flint down, it was either burn my thumb, or burn down my wooden armoire.

Sorry thumb. At least you're smooth now, like an egg!

I took a staple gun and pulled the trigger while it was laying on my leg. It hurt, but it didn't rip my jeans or my skin. It just left a tremendously large bruise that showed up the next day.

Re: Common Sense FTL

I can't think of any I've done at the moment, but I will say one that alot of poeple should know. There is a river in my town, and retarded poeple swim in it and die.

Its common sense to not swim in a river.

Decision: Doing backflips in the house around sharp metal furniture.
Result: Hitting my head on the sharp corner of a chair and needing head surgery to put a chunk of forehead back on. (Thank goodness for the hair that now covers that location.)

Decision: Riding my bike a long ways to school when my mom told me not to.
Result: On the way to school I was hit by my teacher and the school was forced to call my mom just to tell me my teacher ran a car into me.

Decision: At age 7, walk across the highway to get a candy bar despite being told not to by my mom.
Result: I got on the news at the gas station for being able to do the Marcarena. My mom saw the news and immediately knew I had lied.

Re: Common Sense FTL

I don't know the silliest thing I ever done, probably because my memory is ****. The most I can think of is jumping off my house several times when I was younger.... maybe that has something to do with my memory. ...

Re: Common Sense FTL

Rick's story reminded me of the time in school I shot a staple gun into the palm of my hand. It must've been grade 7 or 8, I knew exactly what I was doing and I guess my thought process was "I wonder what happens to a hand with a staple in it". It went pretty deep but I didn't really feel anything, but there was blood everywhere. Maybe I was in shock or something. I distinctly remember girl screamed and I said something like "Haven't you ever seen a staple in a hand before?" and continued working. I definitely lost a lot of blood

Also the time when I got in a fight with my cousin because I made fun of his Xbox, and I broke his rib. Haven't talked to that side of the family in a while.

I once killed a man with a turkey baster.



...oh wait SILLY things. Uh... well this one time I was trying to pack down the trash so we could fit more in the bag (I hate taking out the trash) and stood in the trashcan. I got my friend to get behind me and push me down with extra force to back it in... but he couldn't push STRAIGHT down, and the slight angle in his push caused the trashcan to shoot out from under me, knocking me into the glass door of a kitchen cabinet.

Fun times.

Re: Common Sense FTL

One time I when I was sixteen I was laying on my back waiting to go to work. I didn't wear glasses at the time, and I started throwing my car keys up in the air. Well, after catching them about 25 times I suddenly missed catching them. The pointed end of one of the keys scraped across my right eye. It hurt like a dickens, but I still went to work. At first you couldn't physically see that anything was wrong with my eye by looking at me, but everytime I went outside the light would cause my eye to sting and water uncontrollably. It was excrutiatingly painful. After my shift (I think it was about five hours) my eye started to swell rapidly. This was also extremely painful. I told my mom and they drove me to the hospital. They put drops in my eyes and I laid there for hours before they sent me home. I worked the next four days even though it hurt like hell to go outside. My eye was extremely swollen and bloodshot and I think I freaked out most of the customers (I worked in a grocery store at the time). The eye healed up fine and the only lasting effect is that my right eye squints a little bit more than my left eye when I go outside.

Stupidly enough, when I got a stretch band for my keys a few years later, I broke a lamplight with them by swinging them around. You can see that broken lamplight in this picture:

I once was not watching where I was going and had a stick from a tree branch get me directly in the eye. Also, once I was at Brookfield Zoo when I was a kid, and was walking while reading a brochure that they were giving out. There was this sign about knee high placed in the cement in the middle of the sidewalk. I wasn't looking and walked right into it. It cut a big gash in my left inner thigh, but more importantly, somehow I hit it hard enough to completely uproot it from the cement.

You could always list some.

Now that I thought about it, when I was younger, a bee landed in my hand. It didn't do anything until I closed it... And then, there was this time, I pushed my hand into the electric oven's ceiling when it was on. Needless to say, my palm almost melted.

I haven't done too may silly things though.

Re: Common Sense FTL

Hmm i got a few:

One time when i was like 5 or 6, my dad was ironing his pants, and then he tilted the iron up and was going to head into the other room. Well before he left, i said "what will happen if i touch the iron?", and he said "Dont do it! It will burn your hand." then he walked out of the room. Well, me being stupid, kept glancing at the iron, wondering what it would feel like, so i put my hand on it...and well, lets just say i was in some pain

Another time, i was building some houses out of tooth picks in my gameroom floor, and then i cleaned them up. Well, later that day my brother and i decided to play some football in the gameroom, and well, he tackled me, and when i got up he started screaming "look at your leg!!" I glanced down seeing a tooth pick almost all the way in my leg.

One time when i was about 10, i was at this daycare, and they had these tiles (the kind you put on your bathroom wall), laying on the floor. I said "I could break those easily!", cause i was trying to impress this girl i liked. So a boy pickd one up and held it tight, and i swung my hand through it, it broke, but blood shot all over the boys face and shirt. Turns out he was holding the tile too tight, causing me to break out the middle and the sides cut my hand as it went through. So once i got to the hospital, they said im lucky because it barely missed something by my thumb, that if it would have cut it, i would have never been able to use my thumb again.

Re: Common Sense FTL

I was carving a linoleum block print at home, not using the proper positioning tools. I'm usually very mindful of the rules, because if you **** up, it will hurt. Those carving knives are serious business, they are almost like a scapel but with a much more wicked curved design for the blade. At the time, I was using the one with the deepest curve (for digging out large pieces of linoleum).

I start rushing things and cutting the linoleum in an un-safe way, while thinking about my prof saying "It'll happen- you'll end up cutting the **** out of yourself at least once." The knife slips and I send the tip of the blade right into the palm of my left hand, below the thumb and forefinger. At first, the knife was stuck in there so far that there was no blood. I yanked it out and then it started bleeding everywhere.

Just yesterday night me and my friends were jumping on a broken trampoline in a massive thunderstorm.
