What is the stupidest thing you've ever done. Mine has to pictured below. Never ever again.
One day back it mid '77 I got out of bed & I shouldn't have, it changed the whole course of my life.

So Shane, the real question is 'how are you recovering?
As for stupidest thing I've ever done, well my mind is flooding with choices. I'll give it a go. here's one.
1972, working for Dept Crown Lands and Survey. Guy who was in quite often at the desk buying maps and aerial photos (cellar in Treasury Place for anyone who was around then) asks me if I'd like a job with a new company making street directories back then.
Now, much as i was disillusioned with being a PS, I said no.
Might have been a good career path in hindsight but I declined without even asking about them. (Melways)
(Hmm, just thinking of the time I told my boss he 'wasn't a managers @##$hole.' Yes, that was stupid too. I REALLY regret that one.)
Well done Shane. Quite an achievement. You should be proud.
The stupidest thing I ever did could have been the last thing I ever did. As a kid about 6 years old, we had some nylon string/rope hung between the verandah rafters to act as a clothes line. Well there was some extra hanging down and the string was able to support the weight of a kid, so we used to swing off it. But holding onto a thin bit of string wasn't easy, so being a clever little I tied a loop in the end of the rope so we could hang off that. It was a slip knot...
One day I decided to see if I could swing by putting my head through the loop........turns out I could!
Dad was around the corner of the house doing something and he came to see what the "strange noise" was. He rushed over, picked me up but I am still choking because the thin nylon rope was cutting into my neck due to the slip not (lets call it a hangman's noose). So he called out to my mother and she came running with a pair of scissors to cut the rope free.
If only my parents had of let me swing. I would have been famous cause it would have made the primetime news :)

Not the one I ended up with. :rolleyes:

Congratulation Shane on sure a top achievement.....Peter
Dumbest thing that I ever did was tell my broker no thanks.
He offered about 1000 shares of Apple at less then $35. In about a year Apple was at $580.
He asked why and my answer was "I just don't like the company."
The only benefit it that I can shave every morning.
I bought a computer
