    Question What's the most stupid/ dangerous thing you've ever done?

    What's the most stupid/ dangerous thing you've ever done?

    As in, actually had a think about something and went 'ya, I'll do that'. For me it would be either:

    1 Sleeping on a park bench in Amsterdam for 2 nights
    2 Bungee Jumping in South Korea - grand going up, grand jumping off, nearly had a heart atack falling down thinking 'isnt the rope supposed to be tightening up now?'
    3 Walking home alone late at night passing various junkies hoping they wont mug me.

    (Mentioned it on another thread) trying to fight off two moroccan guys, one of whom had a knife, who were trying to nick my phone off me in madrid.

    the trip to latvia for the liepajas game a few years back had its fair share of idiotic moments too though

    i've done far too many stupid things which were all alcohol related tbh, although the funniest one i can think of involves a mate of mine, he was over in my house one night and the drink ran out, so he decides to open a bottle of champagne that i kept for emergencies, he couldnt get it to pop so he tried opening it with his teeth....

    so very nearly a "Darwin" award.....
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    Accidentally brushing past a lad in Edinburgh who just my luck was a 'ned' and having him legging it after me, had to hide on a train going nowhere where i was going!

    chatting up a girl in a Dublin nightclub. Who just happened to be a member of the 'local travelling community' and her brother/lover making threats against me before he was turfed out!

    Wearing an ireland shirt for the six nations for the game against England. While serving customers at the bar too. Worked out grand though, got a few free pints for my cheek!

    I do live in town! I get to pass by a few methadone centres and homeless shelters on my way home! There's a certain filth that comes with junkies that you just dont seem to get elsewhere

    You were right about my typo btw. (its all gone now though)

    1. Singing against Lazio fans in Rome the night they lost to... somebody.

    2. Singing songs aimed towards a (big) bouncer with some fellow redsmen.

    3. Jumping of a big boat in waters where sharks are.

    4. Having a fight with two lads in Cork when crossing the Lee when I couldn't even stand myself!!!

    5. Walking through Phibsborough before Bohs vs. Rovers, complete with bottles/ bricks/ stones/ punchs/ kicks being thrown, that was fun!!!

    I managed to set fire to my house whilst me and the (then) girlfriend were in it (I won't explain how - long story - it was a very, very stupid thing to do though ). We only just made it out before the smoke fumes got us both. We each spent a couple of hours on the oxygen and then a night under observation in the hospital. We were lucky.

    .
    Who keeps a bottle of champagne 'for emergencies'? "Quick, theres a fire, spray the champagne on it to put it out!"/"There's a burgeler, shake the champagne bottle really hard and aim at his head"

    Im asking for non-alcohol related, thought out things that you chose to do but in hindsight were not good ideas.

    Walking to the San Siro and getting caught up in a mini riot involving Inter and Atalanta fans, and the Police.

    While drunk, and concerned that someone trying to light a cigarette from a gas ring would torch themselves, I did it for them and singed my eyelashes off

    I've also done a huge amount of damage to myself through falling over while very drunk

    Driving in Texas

    Yes

    It must be the only state in the US where defensive driving is not the norm. I had near misses almost every day. I was once driven off the road and onto a footpath by a hispanic Landscape gardener who thought that a four lane road in the city centre was the perfect place to do a U-turn.

    Likewise but I ....er..........went a little further than the chatting up stage. Only realised she was a member of the Travelling community when she told me she was arranged to be married since she was 12 or something and said, "My boyfriend would kill ya if he found out". TBH, she was a beautiful girl and I didn't give a toss what community she came from - she was just a nice person.
    BTW she was 18 at the time in case any of you dirty minded fcukers think I was under aging.
    Anyway, I'm still alive.

    Another dumb thing I did was go in to a bar in Chillicothe, Ohio and ask the barman, "have you any fags here?". Got a very intemperate response, to say the least.
