Stupidest thing you've ever done?

In 1999, I tried to drive back from Budapest, Hungary, to Hohenfels, Germany, with very little sleep. I almost went off a mountainside because they don't have guardrails and shoulders at all locations on the Austrian autobahn. I crossed the white line on the right and hit dirt, which almost threw my car off the road.

Took a serious nap at the next rest stop, said heck with showing up for work on time. :-) (Mine is more stupid, if you're wondering. ).

We all do stupid things, but we learn and hopefully get smarter from our mistakes. Congratulations on getting your permit! It's a big milestone- you'll be fine.

After I first started driving, I was driving a bit over the speed limit thinking I was so cool, but when a car pulled out in front of me, I tried to brake and turn at the same time. Apparently when the roads are wet, you don't do either at higher speeds. Oops!

Yes, I lived and I learned. Thankfully!

I wore two different shoes and didn't notice until I was sitting at my boyfreinds apartment and happened to glance down at my feet. What a way to make an impression! The relationship didn't last, but now I always double check my shoes before I leave the house.

I agree with Theresa_Kennedy that we all do stupid things and hopefully we learn from our mistakes and not to repeat them. The stupid thing which I have done was to hit into a kerb just after my parking test was over. Thankfully, I had completed the parking test and was driving to park the car back in its spot.

I hit the kerb, managed to reverse it out and had about 10 driving examiners and more than 100 learner driving students looking at me. I was afraid to do such an act during my driving test but it was an unintentional mistake and I got my probabationary licence which was soon converted into a full fledged driving licence after 2 years. I haven't hit any kerbs since then.

Thanks for the posts guys I feel better now!

The stupidest thing I have ever done driving down a mountain with no headlights on......knowing there aint no guard rails up on either side...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
