Stupid Things You've Done as an Adult.

[Jinx]

Steve need not apply*

One time I got a flat tire but decided to drive on it anyways. It blew out, and I damaged my wheel, so I had to buy a new tire AND a new wheel.

What are some stupid things you've done as an adult, despite knowing it's a stupid thing to do? (Meaning that it's only 100000 times worse, because you knew better.)

[Night Fury]

Most recently, anything to do with money and spending it on silly things.
Like tattoos and studded boots.

Which aren't silly... but... the money could have been better spent.

There are those who believe everyone deserves a chance, and you should be nice to everyone no matter what. Fuck those people! The stupidest thing I've ever done as an adult is waste time on idiots who leeched off my energy and time.

Also, I've been driving around without a left-side mirror for two weeks. :greenie:

[Jowy]

got an office job

[Jiro]

Did shots before an 8am class. I don't know.

[Christmas]

There are those who believe everyone deserves a chance, and you should be nice to everyone no matter what. smurf those people!

Omg, i think I am one of these! :bigsmile:

Post in this thread and get smurfed. :bigsmile:

I'm currently awake and watching anime, even though I have yet another 14 hour day tomorrow. Silly me.

Tu es un bête.

Act like I was the only person who ever had a failed relationship. It's sad how long it took me to be thankful that I didn't end up in a situation where I was divorced with kids, like tons of people I know of.

[Alpha2099]

How about drinking an alcoholic beverage and then grading papers? 'Cuz I've done that more than once.

I had a really old old OLD Chrysler LeBaron with an oil leak which I didn't bother to get fixed.

Eventually the engine blew up because I didn't put oil in it for like a week and it got completely dry. That was exciting!

[Agent Proto]

That reminds me, I'm overdue for an oil change for my car! :D

Omg me too, let's start a club :bigsmile:

I also put the needs of others above my own. Slowly trying to grow out of that.

[Bunny]

Joined the military.
Went to college.

[Jowy]

Three thousand miles or ninety days! Proper vehicle maintenance is important. Learn to do it yourself.

[The Man]

I've been celibate for seven years, which is primarily the result of a depressingly large number of stupid choices I've made. I kind of hate everyone.

I wasted way too much time in college too, and if I had known how much I would end up hating politics in this country I would not have made it my field of study.

[Tigmafuzz]

This :bigsmile:


I kind of hate everyone.

Also this, yet somehow I still put others' needs before my own.

I am strange.

[Iceglow]

Way too many things to count. I might know better but I also have to admit that I know myself better than to think that I can accept that I know how it will end prior to giving it one more shot.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

No seriously. Read that post again Steve. Do you even?

[Mercen-X]

Admitting to people who I really am. When I see the look of disgust on their face, I then have to kill them. lol. Am I kidding? You don't know.

[Jiro]

Iceglow's post makes perfect sense in a horrifically vague kind of way. You have to be there, in a sense. I think there are always going to be stupid things we do. Realising it is the first step.

[Shorty]

Put school off. Dated people at work. Agreed to supervisor duties and six days a week without supervisor pay. Moved to Arizona. Moved to California with ex while having second thoughts. Signed a year lease with ex when I knew I shouldn't have and then broke said lease.

I have a plethora of good decisions under my belt.

[Clo]

I'm with Shorty. Moving in with bad boyfriends has been a mistake of mine.

I kept the post deliberately "horrifically vague" there isn't a need to share details of what I've screwed up on at times. Those who know me well will likely have an idea of what I am alluding to in some regards. Either way I am a glutton for punishing myself by knowing what the outcome of something almost certainly will be but believing I can influence the outcome in to something different regardless.

My lawn was dying and I couldn't figure out why.

Turns out the automatic sprinklers were just set to "off" for like a month.

Same.

:nonono:

A good while back, I decided to try Nair on my beard (well, stubble) because I hated how shaving always gave me ingrown hairs. I put the Nair on, waited the appropriate amount of time, and wiped it off. The hair was supposed to wipe off with the Nair. It didn't.

The instructions warned against keeping the Nair on for too long, or using it in very close intervals. Since it didn't work, I decided that Nair was weak and crappy and I would put more on, and leave it on longer.

I eventually wound up with a totally radical, beard shaped chemical burn on my face for several weeks. It still didn't remove all of the hair, and my face hurt too much to shave. So I had to walk around with what looked like a combination of a really, really bad sun burn and the mange on my face.

You are wonderful.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Joe, you are a mad genius.

[Beowulf]

21st birthday. An entire week of my life gone. My god, I don't remember most of that week. I just remember the hospital.

[Christmas]

And the nurses? :bigsmile:

[Beowulf]

Can't say I remember them. I was getting my stomach pumped ._.
