Dumbest thing you've ever done to yourself?

I got a BB ricochet as a kid off of a tree I shot. Hit me in the leg, with snow pants on, so all it did was make a loud slap. Made me move back 15 feet, though.

I dont seem to have much luck with cycles :-\
1) During the summer me and my friends used to have water fights at a friends house. After one battle we decided to go out on our bikes but couldnt be bothered to put our clothes back on as it was still hot so we just went out in our shorts. We started biking down a steep hill at the back of our friends house down a track between two fields with deep drainage ditches either side. Suddenly I hit a large rock hidden amoungst the tall grass and I was catupluted into one of the ditches straight into a huge deep nettle patch. I got stung from head to toe, I even managed to sting my tongue somehow! No amount of doc leaves would help in that situation.
2) Another time me and my friends were out on our cycles and i noticed that if I brushed my trainers against the spokes of my front wheel it made a nice tinkling noise. Pretty cool I thought but it was fairly quiet. I thought if I pressed my feet harder against the spokes it would make a louder noise. I tried this and needless to say my feet dug in between the spokes which were then dragged round the wheel before catapulting me straight onto my head, ouch! :dizzy:
3) When we were little one of my friends got a transformers BMX that had a sound effects module on it that played various lazer noises controlled by a button on the handle bars. After much begging and pleading he let me have a go on it and we cycled round to my house on it. As I was biking towards the garage I thought I would go in at speed and pull a 'cool' skid. I cycled in at speed and becuase I had been playing with the sound effect unit I somehow got confused and mistaked the button for the back brake. Beep, beep, beep, beep, BANG! I crashed straight into the back of the garage wall.
4) A couple of years later I was biking towards my garage wearing a baseball cap. Unbeknown to me the garage door that swung down from the top was only 3/4 open and was infact perfectly at my head height. Somehow with my baseball cap on I didnt see the garage door and it clotheslined me clean off the bike.
I don't cycle much anymore!

Broke up with my "wife to be".

I shot myself in the eye with a paintball gun. Back in high school a buddy of mine wanted to borrow one of my paintball guns. I let him borrow a cheap one of mine, since it was his first time. It was a pump-action talon (you could buy cheap these things for like $35) and it took those tiny co2 cartridges. He had his fun and gave it back the next day. He said the co2 tank was not in the gun. I was a complete moron and did not check (but did take off the hopper, but there still was a ball in the chamber).
So here I am cleaning out this gun. I turn the gun around, I lose grip of it, my hand slips and "magically" hits the trigger and *SMACK!* ....right in the eye!
My mother comes home from work and drives me to the hospital. They said if I came in any later I would probably have been blind. They put some stuff in my eye and gave me this eye-patch that looked like a metallic noodle strainer for a few weeks. I also remember seeing black "blobs" floating around my eye. I remember walking around the halls, and the kids from the middle school feared me because of that eye patch. Ahhh...great times....

At least you only had a paintball gun...
hehehe
I'm seeing a definite pattern, that arcade enthusiasts should not own guns.
