So, hi, we're all human, and we've all done silly, stupid things. Things that make us all laugh along with each other, knowing internally that we've all done the same thing at some point before, as we shake our heads at our own silliness.

I remember when I was a kid, and windows 95 was still young. I went on askjeeves.com, and typed in a whole schpiel in the search bar thinking "the guy behind the website" for giving us results and doing our search for us.

I got back something about Antarctica.

I've also done this. Oh yes. Looong time ago, but yes.

I managed to get locked inside a bathroom during kindergarten recess. I was terrified at the repercussions of my being separated from the rest of the class. But a teacher came by to unlock me and everything ended well.

As I think of other stories, I'll add them to this topic.

I was so disappointed with my lack of a high postcount that I made an avatar about it.

One thing I can tell you is that a complete run through the NES version of Super Mario Bros. 3 makes for great bladder training for kids.

... ... buh. I was going to make a really long joke about that but it was too hard to do it.

Also I think this post qualifies for belonging in this topic. Yes. Yes it just may.

Okay I have another one. I still feel really bad/stupid for this one. When I was in 1st grade, way back when, I was the second person to board the school bus. I had a nice comfy spot on the bus first seat on the left as you walk in. The first person to get picked up sat on the first spot on the right, besides the driver. This person was one of those kinds of girls, even at the young age of 6-7 or whatever it was, that could use her language skills to completely destroy you while simultaneously seeming more and more angelic in the eyes of others. It was horrible. Amazing, in retrospect, but horrible if you're the butt of it.

One day I had had enough of her crazy schenanigans, and before I left for school, sat down to my workstation and composed a little note expressing hatred and vile contempt for the driver, signed it conspicuously with this girl's name, folded it, boarded the bus with it, "dropped it" on the floor, and "found it," and read it aloud. I'm sure you can figure out what happened from there.

That just isn't a thing you can recall without mentally finding a way to shoot yourself in the head with a bow and arrow.

Back when I was around 11 years old, I had just finished taking a shower, and I was playing around with the bathroom's air freshener (one of those spray can thingamajigs), and for some reason, I got the bright idea to shoot it up my nose just to see what would happen. Y......yeah. All of my facial orifices felt like they were on fire for at least half a day. I was just lucky nothing really serious happened out of that.

Back in high school, the football coach caught me writing "For a good time call xxx-xxxx" (I forgot what number it was) on one of the mirrors in the boys' room.
...
That was a nice run he made me do....

When I was in boy scouts on a camping trip to a cabin owned by the family of one of the scouts, I had stored a few food items in the cabin refrigerator (I forget exactly what). Later I discovered they were gone. I was so pissed off that I took someone's cola out of there in order to get back. I was being quite irrational, because I didn't know who took my food, nor who the cola belonged to when I took it. It all blew up in my face, because I didn't realize that the contents of the can were completely frozen. When I opened up the can, due to the frozenness, the contents were fizzing out non-stop for well over a minute. I was in the middle of the spotlight, as everybody saw what I did. The worst thing I ever did on a camping trip by far. I think I was about 13 at the time.

My life is a never-ending spiral of silly. I'll have to think of a good one to share with you people...

When I was 17 and overly intoxicated I thought it would be a good idea at a party I was throwing to start table stripping. Then my parents walked in 5 minutes later, I was grounded for the rest of the school year. "3 months"

A few months ago sometime around Christmas a friend wanted me to take her Christmas shopping so she could get a few things for her kids. I was a bit intoxicated so I was having to urinate frequently. During one of these trips apparently I forgot to make sure things were secure so while we were browsing the electronics at Walmart this old lady in the isle (mid to late 70s) kept giving me these strange looks like I was crazy or something. My friend finally spotted the problem and informed me that my penis was still hanging out of my pants.

She was trying her hardest to avoid eye contact with the old lady after and fortunately it was like 10PM on a weekday so there were no kids around.

My life is a never-ending spiral of silly.

I can certainly empathize with this.

One time when I was little, I was really into magic tricks, and so I found this little rock and was showing off to my friends a "magic trick" where I could pull a rock out of my ear. It got stuck. I had to go to the hospital to get it removed. The doctor couldn't get it out, and I had to go to a different doctor. After what had to be spending five hours in the middle of the night at the hospital, we finally got the rock out. As an everlasting testament to my childhood stupidity, my mom still has the rock in a little jar.

Not enough? Okay, here's another story for you, then...\

Let's turn the clock back even further. When I was still in diapers, we were visiting my grandparents. My mom was trying to change my diaper and I thought it would be fun to run away and make her chase me. I was at the age where I was coordinated enough to run faster than an adult's walking speed, but short enough that anybody trying to catch me has to run at that awkward stooped-over position that makes it harder to actually catch anything. I looked behind me without stopping to see if my mom was still keeping up, and turned forward again just in time to run head-first into the corner of the wall. According to my parents, I was unconscious for three days, and I still have a sort of little dent in my forehead from the impact. (I'm now 22 years old.)

Shall I continue? I still have a lot more to go. There's still the story about the cigarette lighter, the time I went fishing with my dad for the first time, my first childhood crush, my second childhood crush, the time my little sister's arm got broken, the time my other little sister's arm got broken, the time MY arm got broken, the other time my arm got broken (just two or three weeks later), the time I was hit by a parked car, the time I accidentally signed up for the school wrestling team, etc. (It's a miracle I'm still alive at this point.)

At my school, my library usually as automatic doors that open for you. One time they were out of order, and it was like around 8:40 in the morning and my first class was there. I was half asleep and didn't pay attention to the out of order sign and bumped into it. Yeah this happened last year.

That sort of reminds me of this GIF:



Automatic doors are tricky devices.
