"What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?"

Once I kicked a used chocolate mousse pot down the stairs, but as it span all the leftover chocolate flew out in a nice spiral pattern down the walls. The white walls. Which we'd just decorated.

Your turn.

Can't you just click 'Edit -> Undo'?

Impressive.

I made earth just for a laugh. Big Mistake.

My mate forgot to process an invoice by the cut-off date when he was working for a large US construction firm (the one rebuilding Iraq).

Cost?

Over $10,000,000.00

And he kept his job.

Two things at work of equal measure:

Deleted the crontab file on a server by pressing a wrong button (Crontab is a unix file for running commands overnight at certain times).

Didn't think it would matter. Managed to shut down the DVLA's computer systems because of it.


Stopped the FTP transfer program on the xerox server by accident on Friday. Stopped the whole of Europes Xerox printer support and purchase requests from being processed. Cost Xerox about £50,000.

Well, they shouldn't leave apprentices to do these things should they.....

Being the oh-so-cool kid I was, I was acting out wrestling moves with some friends and accidentally dropped my mate on his neck =( Poor guy.

I also broke a mates nose when I span around too fast and my arm sort of flailed about and hit him in the face.

I think I am just clumsy!

Mwahaha, another happy customer!

In school, during art class we were mucking around with pottery. I grabbed a big bit of wet muck and lobbed it out of the window with wild, reckless abandon. About a minute later the headmaster came in with a furious expression on his face.

It turned out he was walking past and I'd smacked him right on the bonce. He had a big bruise and started demanding "the despicable, vile and evil child own up now."

So I did the honourable thing.








I blamed it on the class fool who everyone hated. My mates backed me up and he was led away howling his innocence to all of us. His protestations fell on deaf ears and laughing schoolkids. To this day I don't know what horrendous punishment he incurred for his "crime."


I got the unusual accolade of being heralded as a "legend" and forever regaled other kids with my stirring stories of cowardice, wrongful accusations and general malice.

Recent? Your blinking stupid IQ test!

I could picture that, thanks for the laugh.
