Talking The stupidest thing you've ever done

This is a thread to post dumbest, stupidest, most idiotic thing you’ve ever done.

I’ll kick things off:

It happened about 2 years ago when I was 13. My mom, brother and I were at Home Depot. This was during a time where doing nothing wasn’t as fun as it is now. So me an my brother decided to play hide an go seek. I don’t remember the rules or how much time we had to count, but I do remember where I hid. I ran over to the door section. I approached the door display where the doors slide out so that you can see them. I noticed that if I pulled all the doors out, it formed a path into little room. This room was actually another door display, but it was set up like door would be in your home. So I got back there and waited. I think I remember hearing my brother run past a few times looking for me. I sat back their for about 1/2 and hour. Finally I decided to get out. I went to walk out of the display I was in only to discover that their was no knob on my side. So I decided to just go back out the way I got in, but because of the way the doors were angled they formed a kind of one-way path. I was stuck in the door display at Home Depot. I didn’t want to ask a passing employee for help just yet, so I just waited and watched for my brother to pass by again. About 20 minutes later I finally see him round the corner. I gently called out his name when he passed. It got his attention. He let me out and we went home.

After reading that story you must think I’m just an idiot. I’m the guy who got trapped at Home Depot! If that’s what you think now then you’re going to think I’m brain dead when I tell you my real stupidest story! That’s right! That was not my stupidest story. I told you that story because you have to hear that story to appreciate the sheer idiocy of my next story.

My stupidest story is almost exactly the same as my first story. In fact the only difference is that an employee let met out of the display instead of my brother. The thing that makes this story so much dumber is that it takes place weeks after the first story. That’s right. Even after spending 40 minutes in a door display at Home Depot, I went and did it again! After being stuck back there for about 40 minutes (for a second time) I waved to an employee through the textured glass of the door. He saw me, got up, walked over, opened the door, I politely said thank you and I walked away.

That is the stupidest thing I've ever done.

Yeah, once I got locked in the same way as wdw_...

The door to the garage needed a key to get out. But not to get in. So, when I went in the garage door to get something from the car, i only took the car key. Not the garage door key.

Ten minutes later, my dad found me.

I have a tendency to erase anything stupid I do so as to avoid mental breakdowns and such
