Ok i just pulled a nylon thread out of my mattress by wrapping it around my hand and pulling hard.
Needless to say i cut through half of my finger and now i am facepalming myself for not seeing this coming.

Anyone else ever had such a "what was i thinking" moment ?

The same happened to me when I was four, only it was with a knift. Practically sliced two fingers off my of hand. I still remember the green thread they used to stitch me up. So I became quite cautious from an early age.

But yeah, "what was I thinking" is something I say to myself everyday. Failed relationships often does that to people.

Did you go to the doctors to stitch it up or is it not as serious as you made it sound like?

Its almost halfway through but its not bleeding and its just the tip of the finger i don't need stitches for what is essentially a massive papercut.
I just feel like a jackass for not using the knife i had in my pocket.

C'mon that has to be an entertaining story for the rest of us ?

But you do remind me of something back in highschool that i think is funny enough to share.
Some guys where asking a redhead if she was red or black.
Me being more innocent of mind asked what that red or black thing was about and got promptly kicked in the balls.

When i was young I tried to use a potato peeler to peel an orange and ended up fucking up my hand. Skinny my palm and tips of fingers off,big chunk of jerky.

i stuck my finger in a fan once
dislocated the same thumb 3 times (once because i clapped too hard, once on a door knob, and once trying to steal a stop sign)
broke both feet within the same week (first was me tripping over my other foot, and the next was tripping over my crutches)

With me its not so much "why did i do that" its more along the lines of "wtf"

I was about 6 and I went downstairs in the morning to eat a peach. So I got this skinny, sharp ass knife and started to cut the peach with it. I'm cutting and cutting until I hit a stop (which I now know is the pit) and tried to cut through but to no avail was I able to, so then I started pulling back really far....and went through my hand. So being a kid I started flapping my hand in shock of what had happened and blood got to the other side of the room, on white walls. lol Luckily it only came close to hitting a vein.

Well, when I was 5 I decided to see what the stove top felt like on. When I was 10 I tried to take away a butter knife from my autistic brother (by the blade part), it didn't end well. And when I was 14 I decided to claim over a fence by stepping on an extremely dry rotted piece of wood and placing my hand on the jagged top of the pole. As for more recnt time of "what the fuck was I thinking" I think I'll keep them to myself.

I don't get it. I've never heard this before. Apparently it isn't political, as that wouldn't get you kicked in the balls. What, exactly, is it about? Her pubic hair? Did she kick you?

Today I drove on the wrong side of the road without noticing. It was only for a minute though. When I realized it I was like "oh shit, that could have had awful consequences."

Then there was the time I kind of used an electric sawzall incorrectly while cutting pipe. Nobody was hurt because my coworker caught me before hand. I knew I was doing it in a risky way, but I thought I could handle it. Then I was reminded that I could end up losing my face.

My dad did that when I was in the car with him. Except it was a one way slip lane to a busy highway. So we were kinda going against traffic and we had about 5cm between us and the cars going past us - all the while they were threatening to kill us if we didn't kill ourselves in the process.

When I was a little kid, can't remember my exact age, under 10 I think, I was decorating for christmas and I stuck some ribbon-thing's metal wires in an electric socket.
I'm just glad I didnt get shocked. That ribbon thing flew through the room.

Until recently my squat had no electricity so we depended on candles for lighting at night. Candles need to stay upright, so we shoved them in empty bottles. One day, we had ourselves different candles than normal, they had a coating of plastic and were just a tad too big for the bottlenecks. So I push this candle in a bottleneck, only to find the glass breaking off. The remainder of the bottleneck pierced my fingers, spraying blood all over the kitchen floor.

What was I thinking?

something I did at 3 or 4:

Mother: Now whatever you do, don't stick your fingers in the huge hole in the glass door.
Me: OK!
*Mother walks away*
Me: HMM I THINK I'LL STICK MY FINGER IN THIS SPIKEY GLASS HOLE

Scene after:
*Blood spurting out of my finger, mother screaming and running around*
Me: ummm can you put a plaster on it please.

16 years later I look down at my finger with the ginormous hook-shaped scar. At least if I get mauled by a tiger they'll be able to identify my body (unless it eats my hand).
