40 Times People Did Something So Dumb For Absolutely No Reason And Shared It In This Thread

Even the smartest people in the world have for sure had "dumb moments." You can call them blonde moments, brain far, or brain fog, but whatever it is can make the best of us think "why did I do that?"

"What's the dumbest thing you've done for no reason at all?" was a question that opened a box full of crazy stupid stories from people that honestly did something stupid for almost no reason at all. Most people just being everyday humans like us, that may have just had a slip in the brain or just did something out of impulse without actually thinking about it.

Whether it's because you were curious to see what happened, or because someone dared you or told you not to do it, you may have been in a situation where you impulsively did something dumb simply just because. Don't feel bad, because we've all been there, as you'll see from the posts below.

Let's look at 40 times that people did something dumb for literally no reason other than just because. These people shared their dumbest moments so we can share them with you.

Let's see if you've ever done any of these dumb things, wanted to do them or if you would never even consider doing these dumb things.

When I was 10 I saw this cool magic trick where you soaked a dollar bill in rubbing alcohol and the alcohol burns off and your dollar bill stays intact so stupid 10 year old me was home alone one day when my mom left me $20 to order food with I ended up soaking it in rubbing alcohol and burning it causing it to disintegrate into ash immediately.

Microwaved a pen for two minutes in the workplace microwave. To this day I do not know why I did that. Update: I'm still at the same job. The pen was a Frixion Pilot. When the ink smoke cleared and my senses came back to me, I quickly ran across the street to Lowe's and bought the same exact microwave to replace it with. I was never caught.

Was a backseat passenger in my friend's car and decided to open the door and just kind of roll out while driving down the street.

When I was a wee boy I woke up early before everyone, went down to the kitchen, grabbed a chair, brought it to the fridge and took the small metal pencil sharpener from the top. I decided to sharpen my pinky first thing in the morning so I can have a sharp finger?? Ended up waking the parents up and bleeding profusely.

Yesterday I was using a nail gun on the trim around the windows of my house. Being the idiot that I am I decided to see what would happen if I shot a penny. The nail ricocheted off the penny, shot past my head, and ended up in the fridge behind me. Close call.

Me and my brothers would tie ropes to each other and run in opposite directions. Did it to trees too. I tried to bungee jump from a tree with just a regular old rope, that one hurt pretty bad.

4th grade. The teacher asked a math question. I immediately raised my hand and shouted "poop". No idea why I did this but I was sent to detention for a week

Went to a coffee shop and ordered a large cup of coffee. Barista hands it to me and I put it into my purse with no lid.

When I was about 7 or 8 I decided to hold my breath as long as I could ... with milk in my mouth while staring absentmindedly out the window. Naturally I spit the milk all over said window when I lost my breath. I don’t know what I learned. I don’t know what I gained from doing this. I don’t know my motivation. I laugh when I remember it because... what the f**k was even happening in my mind. If anyone is wondering - my aunt saw the milk explosion happen and was like “why did you do that?!!!!” I don’t even know what I said. I just cleaned it up.

I threw a plastic bottle at a ceiling fan. It ricocheted back, right on my forehead.

When I was 5 I wanted to see if pepper made you sneeze like in the cartoons so I shoved a black peppercorn up there. Burned like hell.

You know those old cigarette lighters in cars? Nobody in my immediate family smokes, and when I was younger, I pressed it in and it popped out.

I pulled it out to inspect - it was just grey coils - it didn't look red hot or anything. So I tested that sucker the best way I knew how. I stuck it to my tongue.

Maybe not the dumbest but a recent one on my mind. I was in my office with the door closed. Got up from my desk to walk out and knocked on the door before opening it and walking into the hallway.

My father had a glass cutter that consisted of a diamond embedded in the tip of a metal rod. I decided to witness it’s amazing cutting power exhibited in cartoons, so I tried to cut a circle in our garage door window glass. The scar still rests in the glass 36 years later.

Wondered what would happen if I pedalled the bicycle as fast as I could and then brake it as hard as I could.

P/s: I hit my crotch at the middle of the handlebar and also flew a couple of meters onto asphalt.

When I was a kid I went into my parents bathroom. I found my dad’s razor and I decided to scrape it against my tongue, my whole tongue. I started screaming in pain immediately after.

So packing up the car and just completely forget to grab the last suitcase and put it in the car, it was apparently just sitting on the sidewalk for the 2 days I was gone

Someone asked me what time it was and I lifted and rotated my wrist so I could look at my watch. I was holding an iced tea and just poured the whole thing into my lap.

I wasn’t wearing a watch.

I didn’t even own a watch. Never have.

During a traffic stop, while trying to act casual, I handed a police officer $50 instead of the licence he asked for.

I stuck my head in the opening of the back of our dining room chairs. My head was stuck for almost an hour as my grandad tried to butter me up to get my head out.

I also did the same thing with our stairs banister. Needless to say, I was a stupid child.

When I was little I threw my ballet shoes into a toilet I had just peed in. I have no idea why. I then ran to my mom who couldn't decipher through my hysterical crying what was going on. To this day I still have no idea why I did it, but I remember feeling that I had to do it.

I jumped up and (successfully) bit the string that is used to pull the attic door down. It had a metal bead on it... Immediately after I remember thinking “holy s**t I actually got it in my mouth and broke the string”. Then I realized the string was still there, but half my front tooth wasn’t.

As the best man at my wedding said “the attic string went fishing for idiots and caught one”

I once picked a guys pocket and put it back just to see if I could do it without getting caught. I didn't get caught. It was the single dumbest thing I've ever done in my life considering how bad it could have gone if I had gotten caught.

We were driving to a restaurant and wanted to see how long the wait was. My dad handed me the phone book and asked me to look up the number. I, for whatever reason, thought he said “get rid of this”. So I opened the window and chucked the phone book while we were going 70 MPH down the highway.

That was over ten years ago, I still get s**t for it.

I chopped an aerosol paint can in half with an axe. I was far old enough to know better but my cousin and I thought we had it worked out. My mom always said, “One kid, one brain; two kids, no brains.” Boy was she right. I was yellow for a week.

I once told my roommate I was going out of town, but really hid under his bed for 5 hours so I could freak him out that night.

When i was about 8, i was walking out of school, i picked up some pink fairy floss (cotton candy) off the ground and put it in my mouth. It was insulation.

I have an amazing ability to pick up almost any bug carefully and efficiently without hurting them, so when I first discovered this when I was about 5 or 6, I went and collected 44 ants, got some dirt, and made my own ant colony. in my room... under my bed...

Sprayed hair spray onto a lamp while it was on. The bulb shattered and when my parents asked what happened I said I had no idea

Took some scissors while I was at my moms friends house and looked to see how hard i'd need to press to cut a lamps wire to cut it off while the lamp was still on. Didn't need to press that hard.

I put my finger into a handheld blender and turned it on to see if I could stop the blades from spinning.

I couldn't, and it chewed up my finger. I was 21

You can't say you've never thought of impulsively doing something like what these people did above. I mean, maybe not exactly what they did because some of those people did some crazy things.

Sometimes you just have a weird urge and you just go for it without thinking. I'm sure some of these people looked back at what they did and had a good laugh.

Share this with your friends and let us know about something you've impulsively done before.
