What’s the dumbest thing you did as child
Jump to: Newest in thread
Fuck it! Decided I would totally innocently, stick my willy in a Smarties tube, completely oblivious to then not being able to fathom why I couldn’t get it out again, having to finally muster the courage to go tell my dad, eventually, who I can still vividly recall laughing and laughing and telling me, leave it 10 minutes and till work itself out! Who knew what an erection was at 7?! Not that dumb really, but I’ve always felt really dumb about it to this day |

The house we lived in had what is known as Sash windows, ones that open vertically, as a 5 year old I was fascinated how my mother opened the window, sat on the window cill keeping her legs inside and started cleaning the outside of the windows.
I thought I would try as it looked fun, needless to say I fell 15ft on to the concrete below, broke my right arm and split my head open.
No A&E in those days but the family doctor came to the house, stitched up my head wound and took me to the local hospital in his car. |

I found some live rounds, put them in a vice with a nail against the primer plate and whacked them with a hammer. Sadly, or probably fortunately, it didn't work.

I could claim ending up needing a finger stitching back on but in reality I was too young to know not to put fingers in the door jam.
So it was probably paddling an inflatable boat up a river to the point it got drawn onto the bottom of a weir and needing a dog walker to pull it off the stopper using the dogs lead |

Dig up a grenade in the garden. Came running into the house excited and shaking it wildly about. The police were called and cordoned off the street whist they investigated. Turned out to be a replica used in training but still, a dumb move by me! |

My sister was in a rubber dinghy being swept down the river so I jumped in to swim her back to the bank. I totally froze in the cold water and couldn’t breathe, didn’t save my sister and nearly drowned. Sister was saved by a guy in a canoe. |

Pushed some hair grips into a plug socket when I was 10. Fired across the room faster than hot snot.
Tombstoned 70ft and landed badly. Then found out 2 people who did it a few days prior had life changing injuries.

"I’ll start I got my head stuck in the playground railings once  "
Broke both of my brother's legs. Compound fractures. He was in hospital for a couple of months, with Drs saying he would probably never walk proper again! But hey, what did they know? Jumped over him while he was sitting cross legged with a toy Winchester rifle on his lap. Managed to catch his head, pushing him onto the rifle. The good news is that he grew up to be a bit of a psycho! |

"Bad week at college so went mixing g my drinks. And well gave myself a concussion. Other than that I've been quite a good boy lol"
Were you mixing those drinks with your head? Spent the first six months at college pissed out of my head. Who knows what we did. I do remember waking at the foot my mates
bed hugging his puke filled shoe. Yes, they did eventually kick me out. Gits! |

I realised early on that my job, as a parent, was to stop my children, and other kids too, from killing themself. I've got a kitten at the moment and I have already saved his life. He managed to hang himself of some string. Fortunately I was in the same room. It's the joy of being young, I guess. Your next good idea might kill you! |

Sliced my forefinger to the bone playing with my father's razor - as you do.
Parents didn't believe in wasting good money on doctors or hospitals (no NHS here), I have the scar to prove it |

"My mum had put bleach in a jam jar on window sill I apparently pulled it down on to my eyes and chest! I don't remember it must have been very young! X"
I did exactly the same thing but I was at uni so haven't even got the excuse that I was a child. My friend for some unknown reason filled her face cream pot up with bleach. After a night out I plastered it on my face. I thought the burning was the anti-aging ingredients. Wasn't until the next morning I saw my face was strawberry red.
My friend said that'll teach me for nicking her stuff. Maybe she had a point?

Ran away from home.
Made it halfway to my Nan and gramps before my Grampy picked me up after spotting me on his way home from his allotment, asked me what I was doing then gave me a bollocking for worrying my mum, turned the car around and drove me back home.

Broke my leg and my mate brought porn mags around to help pass the time!
My brother seen me hide it under my pillow when he walked into our room and shouted mum. Due to my leg I couldn’t hide the magazines anywhere and my mum rollicked me and took them away

I've done the same with a shotgun cartridge. Without a barrel for the gases to push the bullet/pellets through, they don't go far......not a good idea for anyone to stand really close in front though! |

Owwwwwwwwwwwwzat"
Played one game where the wicketkeeper had forgotten his jockstrap. So he put his box (one of the old pink ones, with ventilation holes... remember them?) in his underpants.
As a result of all the bending up and down, and getting sweaty, his scrotum found its way through a couple of holes in the box.....and then swelled up!
Cue lots of cold water and 2 pairs of pliers to break the box!!!
Not that I think about it very often, but every time I do, I find myself crossing my legs and wincing! |

Stuck a screwdriver in the desk mounted plug socket Earth connection in the science department at school, to open the live and neutral and then stuck a resistor in each, twizzled (yes) them together and then flicked the on switch.
Bang! smoke, shit in pants and threatened with expulsion. |

Can you say being 17 well one of my many stupid things i used to jump in and out of my bedroom window into the garden in front of bedroom, at the time im thankful i was at least slim lol, but one time i must have not been thinking and going from the wall to inside the window i dont know what happened but i sort of found myself on the ground and then having to go to hospital as i gashed my head i think i slipped knocked my head on the stone kerb at the window and and fell unconcious doing it...and i think why my back has never been the same since.
Done plenty more things like elbowing into a glass kitchen door, or leaning down when out in the street and then got up and whacked my head on these very old fashioned car ticket machines back in the 80s....i genuinally used to trip over my own feet a lot and fall flat only to bounce back up i blame the boobs i swear. |

I was 13 and absolutely plastered at a friend’s party. My hair was bleached and dyed pink and I decided it would be a great time to try and remove the dye- with old fashioned Vim powder, as you do. What a bloody mess

I was changing some bulbs in a little disco light rig I’d created (don’t ask  )
When I’d taken the original lamps out it was dark and I couldn’t see to put the new ones back in. So I thought, I know, I’ll use my finger to feel for the (live) lamp socket…..
That was a jolt I won’t ever forget! |

The list is far too long and too dumb, I’ll just say that most of the people that knew me were shocked I’d made it as far as my 20th birthday |

Eating laburnum seeds from the garden. Mum tells a great tale of driving to the hospital to have my stomach pumped out, one hand on the steering wheel the other shaking me to keep me awake.
Funnily enough, just looked online to check the spelling and seems i was not alone - apparenty in the 1970s 3000 hospital admissions a year were put down to laburnum poisoning |

I remember my Grandad shouting at me for climbing on the railings at Bournemouth pier whilst some pretty choppy seas were underneath... I remember looking down at the waves crashing about and suddenly being hauled back down.
I would have been about five at the time and saw no danger in what I was doing.
He was not happy, it was the only time he ever raised his voice to me.
I didn't climb on the railings again.

Either reaching over the top of a kettle as it reached boiling point (blister was instant)
Or very closely running out in front of an occupied swingset - I was definitely airborne for a few seconds |

I remember wondering what it would feel like to squeeze some toothpaste up my willy, like actually inside. Well I didn't have to wonder very long because curiosity got the better of me. Interesting, but I'd not recommend it. |

Too many to list. Many of them involved journeys to Birmingham Accident Hospital, stitches, casts etc. today they would have social services involved but it was all just growing up accidents eg
Playing football with a drink can,4 stitches in my face
Fell over , darning needle dropped by mom, in leg, attempted to remove it but it had gone in backwards so pulling the wool snapped it inside.
Operation and stitches.
So many more.
