The STUPIDEST thing... quite hard really.....
I did jump into a swimming pool with my watch and glasses on. They sunk to the bottom, and I couldn't get to them (the chlorine really hurts my eyes). So I had to wait for someone else to dive down to the bottom of the pool for me.
I don't that is the stupidest thing ever though... I've done a lot stupider things in the past...
I once got on the bus for school realising that I'd forgotten my money, so I had to get off walk home, and my dad had to drive me to school.
Once tried to film the orang-utans at Chester with the lens cap on....
Walked into a door
There are many more... I'll post them when I find them out! Really I am quite stupid!

A very stupid thing I do from time to time is post a reply to a thread on this forum before realising, too late, that I'm not actually at the end of the thread, and that there's a whole page of postings after the one I was answering! (I did it today on the thread titled "Taronga's Elephants and other news.")
I'm sure people would read the thread and think,"Wow, this guy's really not keeping up with things, is he?"

hmmm, this is an odd topic but...
stupid things ive done seem to revolve alot around europes public transport system. i twice got my head jammed in the door of the tube in london, once was so drunk at camden i took off my expensive jacket, and left it and a whole heap of paper work behind at the station and only realised when i got out at golders green half naked and shivering in the 6 degree cold. though probably the stupidist thing i ever did was in munich when i tried to squeeze my way onto a train which was packed. i got in, but the doors closed tighter than a nazi gas chamber on my back pack and i was stuck as 3 men tried to open the doors as the train began to move. after composing myself in front of a packed carriage i had the sense to translate all the warnings about the notorious door system.

When I took the bus around 3 weeks ago, I accidently got off at the same stop as my friend, we lived close, just a 30 minute walk!!

What happend?
This is so stupid that you will know it must be true.
I have just applied for an internal promotion: if I get the job I will get no extra pay, I will get two hours less teaching to give me time to do the job, but I as all our timetables are full I can't actually be given those hours and I'm not convinced I'll get overtime for them either. I only put my application in because no one else wanted the job and someone fairly sensible has to do it. My interview is next week - wish me luck
I am the only candidate

I found this pretty weird on what happened at school today I personally think it is stupid,
At class, our vice principal, came to talk to us about just issues that had been at the school , when she was leaving two other guys started to clap very slowly, she then absoultly cracked it! And said " This is disgusts me, I am appaled....etc."
The two guys then got a 45 minute detention and in house suspension, ... now that I find really weird,
I then asked the guys who are casual hi-bye friends: " So I heard something happened in class today, "
" they then said what didn't you see it?? "
( whacks head)

this isn't really stupidity on my part, just bad luck, but for the last few days (since Monday) I've been camping out in the mountains on the West Coast looking for great spotted kiwi. Then a massive storm blew in, the rivers broke their banks and flooded the access roads. At one point I was wading for half an hour through freezing chest-deep flood-waters to get out. Made it out alive through good fortune more than anything else.

I have no camping skills what so ever,
though if that happened to me I think I'd react badly, I hate wading , which kinda links on to something else that was pretty stupid. mainly because in past I was state swimmer then again I became somewhat allergic to pool water as I soon reacted differently back then I was at the pool for 5 training sessions a week. Once I remember our coach tells us to do 1 k swim made up of evenly of all strokes, 200m of each but it can be scattered. (I hated Butterfly.) Just on the final lap our coach tells us to get out of the pool, the rest of the squad as well as the public , other squads and swimming classes were pulled out. We then realised someone had done a big job in the pool. We could home. But we had to do the same thing the following day.
