Dumb things you've done
Okay, this requires a little explanation. Normally I shave my head with number 4 shearers. It looks like this:

(Third from right, in the white shirt)
Half an hour ago I was getting ready to have someone over, I figured I should cut my hair again as it was getting a little out of control. I went downstairs and pulled out the clippers, but it was a little broken. I whacked it a few times and it started up, so I started using it quickly before it broke again and I was stuck with half-shaved hair. I was halfway into my second stroke of the shearers before I realised my mistake.
I now look like this:

Any of you have stories that can make me feel better about my current, hilarious predicament?

Dumb things I've done?
I was at my girlfriend's birthday party, and it wasn't big but she had a good load of people over. My stomach was rumblin' during the morning and I knew it was a bad sign. So everyone was just chillin' we were on one of the couches and I was loaded. There was too much pressure, I wouldn't have been able to walk away and rip, nor could I hold it it.
I ripped ######.
But I kept it quiet and like a chain people started noticing one by one. It was hilarious, I was dying inside and luckily she has a dog and she blamed it on the poor old mutt(Because she tends to let loose a lot). It was horrible, it lingered for a good 5 minutes too. By the time it was gone everyone was in Hazmats. I don't know what the hell I ate, but damn it was a good one.
I thank that dog for being around every time I see it.
All I got from that was one hell of a bruise =\
learned to ride a motorcycle. trust me dont do it. the seconed you get on one you will never want to get off, makes things much worse once you realize how dangerous it is yet how badly you want to be on 2 wheels.

Nothing wrong with riding a motorbike, I do. The only bad thing about it are the people with 4 wheels who never look for anything smaller than another car...
I did that hair cut thing before! I was so shy at the time that I wore a hat for the better part of 3 months while it grew back. If it happened to me nowadays I'd just go with it. Start wearing a wife-beater and get some swastika tattoos.
That's about as dumb as I've gone.
Oh hell god damn christ yes. This dumb mistake has opened doors I never before dreamed possible...

nothing like some Turtlewax!
Myself, on the other hand, looked pretty awful.
I wanted to shave my head because I wanted to lend support to a friend with cancer. Anyway, I decided to be all manly and tough, so after I got the barber to buzz my hair down to about 1 mm, I finished the job with a manual razor.
Oh my god. OUCH. It was going fine until I scraped the blade over this MOLE on my scalp that I didn't even know was there. It bled for a loooong time, and looked terrible and scabby until my hair grew back. Nevemind that it was the dead of winter in Montreal and I no longer had any hair to warm my scalp.
On the other hand, it was a very close, smooth shave.
2. Showing them to the girl next to me
3. Drawing one of the girls with the same hair color as her
4. Buying World of Warcraft
5. Letting my grandma take the NES when i was 6
6. Falling in love with this strange game with aliens and marines and stuff
First time ever on a quarter pipe on my skates, and didn't drop properly. Rear wheel on my left foot caught the coping on the way down, and I fell 6 feet like a sack of s**t, onto my ######. Couldn't move through the pain, and I had to be carried off the park, to an ambulance, where I got checked over for possible fractures, then Xrayed at the hospital, because the paramedic "wasn't sure"...
All I got from that was one hell of a bruise =\

I lol'd because I've seen people do exactly what you described.
On a similar note, but probably more painful, last year I nutted myself on a kink rail in the terrain park. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
I find it sickly amusing
It was Tim Duncan's Porche. (For those who don't know, famous/semi-famous proffessional basketball player in the US.) Yes, I did manage to cut myself on a parked car's liscence plate, and by accident, no less. : P First thing the man said to me after meeting him when I cut my leg? "Please don't sue me." (literally) Greatest moment of my life, also one of the stupidest. XD : P
... I CAN WRITE STUFF ON MY HEAD IN SHAMPOO<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Lolz, why would you need Shampoo?
Parked car, liscence plate edge, and my leg. Result: 10+ stitches and a 1.5cm deep cut. \o/ Best part of all of it?

awesome story <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
he totally should have given you some cash though, so you WOULDN'T sue him =p
either that or you SHOULD have sued him <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />
If you think that's bad, imagine riding bmx at a skatepark, going for a footplant on a 6ft quarter, and your foot going over the top of the coping .... now <i>that</i> hurts.

Yeah, this type of thing is why I don't skate much anymore, snow is much more forgiving.
Hell, I've duffed it from 12 feet upside down in the half pipe and gotten back up alright, albeit slowly.
I ski, very cautiously, like a dainty little girl in a prim pink sunday school dress. is that hardcore enough? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" />
No funny stories of serious pain. Lucky I guess.
Had a hospital appointment a few days later- went to the wrong hospital in the city, so started searching for a taxi with 10 mins to go.
Blacked out BMW 4x4 pulls up at a traffic light, window rolls down, gangster asks "Are you that Duncan guy from Eastenders?"
"No... Hey fancy taking me to the hopsital for a tenner" I reply
He looks at his mate in the passenger seat and laughs, "Sure" he says.
I get in the back- it's a plush interior with all the trimmings.
We get chatting whilst the pimped out BMW does 80mph on 30mph roads- I have no idea which route we are taking.
We get to the hopsital with 4 mins to spare- turns out I hitched a ride from <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naseem_Hamed" target="_blank">Prince Naseem Hamed</a>'s brother</b>.
XTREME FORUMGOERS!

Considering that this thread is about dumb/painful things you've done, probably not.
Unless you're one of those people that can't control themselves, cuts someone off, and ends up in the woods.
When I was about 7 years old, I had the bright idea to jump off the swings at the apex. I landed flat on my face and had minor stress fractures in both arms.

I'm in the same boat as Chrono here...
I now own seven Motorcycles, three being exactly the same. (The three bikes are old 80's turbo charged crotch rockets. (Honda CX 500-T's) - One is a parts bike, one is a bike that I like to ride the s*it out of, and the other one is in pristine condition). :/
I'm very, very broke.
Lolz, why would you need Shampoo?

1. So my stubble and scalp don't get dirty
2. So I can write stuff in my hair
