Highschool years... I was asked to boil some ribs to be cooked after my dad got home from work. I put the ribs in the pot hours before he was going to get home, set the stove to the highest setting, got high, then fell asleep on my bed.
I woke up with my dad pounding on the door, and noticed that the entire room was filled with smoke. The water had boiled out, the pot was ruined, and the entire house smelled like smoke for weeks. If he had gotten home later, I probably would have never woke up.
I was banned from using the stove to cook anything after that.
-------------------------------------------------
We installed an electric fence to keep the dogs from digging under and getting out into the neighborhood. I decided to "test" to see if it was working, and kept on tapping on it, but felt nothing. I didn't realize the charge was sent out in pulses, so I just grabbed it, and then it hit me. Interesting experience not being able to let go of something until it let's you.
-------------------------------------------------
Countless others, but those two are among my favorite dumbass moments.
