I have several that are candidates for the dumbest thing I've done:
- I once tried cutting my own hair the day before a baptism (I was 33 when I did this - the front was fine, but it is surprisingly hard to cut the back of your own hair - Jackie was furious when she saw this).
- I was changing the electric pilot ignitor on my water heater, and while I was holding the new one I pressed the button which gave me a painful shock (they produce a spark of a few thousand volts) - I honestly couldn't believe how badly it had hurt, so I pressed the button a second time. (yes, it really did hurt that much).
- The receptionist in my office gave me a can of pepper spray which I became curious about - but rather than spray it directly in my eyes, I did the "smart thing" and sprayed it on my hand, and rubbed it in my eyes.
- I was screwing around at my office and accidentally set the carpet on fire (I melted the sole of one of my shoes stomping it out).
