Dumbest Things People Have Ever Done


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the stupidest things that people have ever done. We've all endured our moments of misfortune. Sometimes those happen to be self-created. Hopefully, these brutally honest moments of mindlessness from some individuals that have had their struggles make you feel better about your own.

After the last person left, I confused the shadow of my torso reflecting onto the empty movie screen for a disembodied ghost. T ran and told the manager, and because I had planted the "ghost" idea in his mind, he went in, saw his shadow and decided there was in fact a ghost, and called the cops. A cop arrived, we told him what we thought we saw, h

Text - A second cop arrived, went into the theater, realized we had seen our own shadows, and came out laughing his ass off at all 3 of us. Manager and I were embarrassed, but omg that poor first cop. Eventually there were 10 cops there and some were laughing so hard at him, that they had to support themselves on the sides of their squad cars.

Text - Anthro10 • 9h A couple of years ago the 4th of July was a few days away, so all of the stores had decorations and clothes with stars or red, white, and blue. In a busy clothing store I, with no hesitation, picked up a shirt with a blue star on it and across the clothing section I asked my mom, "Mom, when is the 4th of July?". You can imagine how embarrassing that was when everyone turned and looked at me. I can only think of what was going through their minds. Reply 691 ...

Text - SilkyEnchilada • 9h Ate a habanero pepper when was dehydrated and overheated. I had dry chapped lips. No saliva in my mouth and I was spent. I picked up what I thought was a peperoncino up from a Papa Johns pizza box. It was in fact NOT what I thought it was. It was a habanero pepper. And it melted my face. My mouth hurt/burned/ ached/blistered. And no amount of water was helping. I suffered for three hours. It was the most traumatic moment of my life. Reply 1 240 + ...
