Really Really Stupid Things You've Done — Page 2

I once did the locking the keys in the car with the engine running, but I have an excuse:

I was at the Home Depot parking lot, and I parked at the end of a row next to one of those traffic "islands" with trees and grass, and just as I opened the door to get out, the lawn sprinkler system came on and started soaking me, so I jumped out of the car to get away from the water, forgetting that I had not turned off the engine and remopved the keys.

Ok. About March or April I was standing on a chair in my closet (in my dorm) trying to attach something to a hook in the ceiling of the closet. I must have missed my footing or something, trying to balance with a shelf lower to the ground and I started falling. I grabbed for anything I could reach (clothing, boxes, and even the X-mas lights that line my closet, but they came down with me). Somehow I ended up on the floor in the opposite direction I had started in, and the only thing that saved my head from cracking open on the dresser was a bag of clothing sitting by it that I had just thrown there. Turns out I cut my arm on the chair and really banged up my leg when I hit the ground (oh, and the door to my room was locked at the time...that would have sucked) so I ended up with a limp for a good 2 weeks plus a super nasty bruise on my thigh. oh, pain...

I ran out of gas 5 blocks from the gas station in the middle of a busy intersection. I jumped out of my car to call a friend to help me at a pay phone (before everyone had cell phones) and locked the keys in the car. It blocked traffic for an hour and a half. I got a ticket and paid $100 to tow my car five blocks. At least the hunky police officer gave me his phone number....

My friends dared me to take a bite out of a hot insanity pepper so I did and nearly threw up in the process. And after I washed my mouth out with Pepsi (which i would never reccomend to anyone who eats anything spicy) I saw the remains of the pepper on the table and I figured that wasting the pepper would be a shame so I stuck the rest of it in my mouth and nearly passed out all to my friends' enjoyment.

Reminds me of the time I was convinced I'd been ripped off and only received Disc 1 of Hey, Mr. Producer.

Did "Hey Mr. Producer" get ecorded for video?
