What's the stupidest thing you've ever done? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

For me, it was when I was threatened at work by a coworker, and I turned to my shift opener and said that I was going to hit my coworker. Neither one of us got in trouble though.

Started smoking when I was 14.

The stupidest thing I ever did I did when I was 21 and really, really drunk. It would be better if I didn't mention exactly what it is I did.

Stop if you can asap girl - it only gets tougher. Lost both parents to smoking (and in my father's case, drinking). You'd think I'd know better, but even after all that, I'm STILL trying to get off them. You don't notice the effects now, but they creep up on you. I like ya too much - don't make the same mistakes. Socially it sucks incredibly!

I'm already completely addicted. Everyone in my house smokes(my dad, his fiance, my brother, my sister-in-law, my cousin). It would be too hard for me to quit. I already smoke a pack a day. But, on the bright side - I guess - I switched to Marb Lights..Does that count for something?

Sounds exactly like my family - everyone smoked - a lot. Parents smoked "home rollies" for years - no filters. Mother died of emphysema in '96, and my dad of a massive heart attack (at age 53) back in 1980. I was the same - completely hooked within a couple of years.
I smoke lights too thinking the same thing - nope - they might be SLIGHTLY lower in tar or nicotine (usually not that much), but it was just found out a couple of years ago, that the tobacco companies put MORE additives in the lights to cross addict you to other things making it harder to quit them.
That's why I say - the STUPIDIST thing I ever did was start.
My husband doesn't smoke - never has, and I don't know how he puts up with me sometimes. Its a horrible addiction - they say on the same level as kicking heroin or worse. Women find it harder to quit too. I've tried it all - hypnosis, accupuncture, cold turkey (few times), patch (twice), Zyban (didn't work), gum (made me puke), cold turkey again......and I'm not finished.
(sorry for the rant/lecture.....didn't mean to....just GEEZ its tough)

Breaking and entering. That's all I'm going to say about that. I was only 13 at the time, and I live a law abiding life now.

Haha, it wasnt a rant/lecture. Atleast, I didn't take it that way. My dad has been smoking and drinking since he was 16(43 now). He drinks beer like I drink Mello Yello(I loooooove mello yello). I've never tried to quit smoking. I don't think I've ever had a real reason to. I'm to the point where I don't want to quit. It relaxes me when I'm stressed. And with high school and Wendy's...I need that relaxation - whether or not it damages my health.

Am I just rambling, or am I actually making sense here?

I had a criminal trespass charge once, but it was dropped. I was about the same age as you.

My aunt died of lung cancer when she was 37. She started smoking when she was 13

OMG - that's horrible. I am so sorry. I was 14 when I started and I'm 44 now. Seriously, every year I live is precious and I'm so grateful I've gotten this far - isn't that awful - that I still can't seem to kick it even KNOWING. I've already had a bit of skin cancer (basal cell) and was asthmatic since childhood, and have a skin condition which makes me more apt to get oral cancer. I've also got a good girlfriend who's my age fighting Stage 4 Cervical Cancer right now. Gosh......I'm so depressed now. Don't mean to go off topic. Maybe I need a thread to convince me once and for all. And really Burgers, I know exactly how you're feeling - to this day, I feel the same way and use the same excuses, but if for nothing else, just dating gets difficult. And if you were to quit even for a short while, you'd see what people mean about us stinking. I couldn't believe my clothes, purses, car...
O.k. - off rant....again - sorry!

The stupidest thing I ever did? I just did it! Last week I took my mother's keychain to turn on her car ignition so I could close her electric sunroof for her. I forgot to put her keys away, I forgot where I put them, and after a week I still haven't found them. Fortunately, she has a set of spare keys. Unfortunately, the keychain I lost had a lot of sentimental value for her - it was an Anne Klein keychain my sister gave her as a Christmas present - and the way things are going, she should be over her anger in about five. . . or six. . . years!
