What is the funniest bad thing you've unintentionally done?

[avonleastories95]

I remember when I was a baby, my Mother would give me books to read. When she was gone, I would rip pages of the book into confetti! When she came back, she always would say that I looked proud with my "Art." Now, I am glad I READ them now! One of my grade school teachers told us that the worst thing she ever did was tear the wallpaper off her wall! I just wanted to share that funny story with you!

Worst? I think the worst thing most people have done wouldn't be funny.

Humans by nature are very cruel. We've probably all done something so bad, we won't even tell other people about it. I know it would be hard for me to cough up my absolute worst thing I've done. And we could be lying- how do other people know we're not holding something back?

Thank you, Lazario! You have inspired me to change the title to the board to "What was the Funniest Unintentional Worst thing You Ever Done?" You are right, Lazario. Nobody is perfect, and all Humans make mistakes, it makes the world interesting. Some of our mistakes can be so bad we feel uncomfortable telling others about it. I will confess that what I have posted is the not the worst thing I have ever done, I too, don't want to share my worst thing! This thread is for funny stories from your past, it is not created so people would be offended or sad. I do not want anyone on this Forum to get upset for the sake of me. I only want posters to tell funny stories of their past, that way, nobody will get upset and nobody will get qualms. Thank you again! I hope I did not offend you or anyone else!

An unintentionally worst thing I've done...that turned out to be funny?

When I was a little kid, like really little, for some reason I didn't give a piece of gum to my little brother, though I gave pieces to my sister and cousins. My dad was videotaping the whole thing (we were on vacation in California) and it shows my mom trying to get me to give him a piece of gum. When I walk away, my brother's crying, so my mom looks in her bag to see if there's any little snack she can give him, trying to make it sound like "Look, here's something! It's just as good as gum!"

She finds and gives him a Wheat Thin. He bites it, makes the most subdued-but-miserable "this isn't gum!" face, and drops it back in her bag.

When we watched this on our home movies years later, all of us couldn't help but laugh.

When I was a kid (around 7 or so, I can't remember), my father was being a complete jerk to me because I was no good at baseball--some things I just wasn't made to do --and I was in the yard with my mom and sister, and he would keep throwing it over and over and yelling "Hit the **** ball!!" etc. The funny thing was (and I really didn't understand at the time) was that I only managed to hit the ball once and it shot straight into my father's...well...crotch would be the appropriate word, I guess. I had started running around the bases, so I didn't really know what was going on. But my mom was on the ground laughing.

Nice memory for lateron though.

That reminds me how bad I was as a kid. Funny? No. My younger brother would cry to get attention. He made me mad. One day I punched him and he cried - it was a common thing for him to do, cry out to get me in trouble - and instead of doing that thing we all do (those of us who hit other people or said something they cried at, then had to get them to quiet down fast) where you go "Sshh!" and "Oh! I'm sorry... Please stop. Pleeeese... I'm so sorry," I hit him again. I can't remember if he cried harder because of that or not. It doesn't matter. Thing is, I don't regret it. He was a brat and he deserved it. He was a convincing baller too. I could never tell if he was serious or not. Great actor, either way.

That makes me laugh.

More embarrassing than funny but it happened several years while I was working in Los Angeles working a large record company.

I left LAX at 4:30 a.m. to be in Detroit for an early luncheon with a client, and had to be back in L.A. for a dinner engagement that same evening.

The lunch went well, and I was on the airplane on time. When I arrived in L.A. I rushed to the restaurant where I was to meet the guests that I was supposed to meet for this special dinner meeting.

My stomach was a little upset, but I didn't let it bother me, until the main course of dinner was served and I excused myself and headed for the restroom. I must have really been in a hurry because I ended up in the women's restroom by mistake and after vomiting and cleaning myself up, I walked out the door and it seems every eye in the restaurant was trained on that door. OMG!!!! I slinked back to my seat and continued with the dinner meeting, while cringing inside and very embarrassed at what happened.

Thanks for the opportunity to let me share this with someone else other than my family.

The worst unintentionally hilarious thing I've done was at a friend's party. One particular friend and I both were teasing each other and throwing catty comments back and forth. At one point I pretended to throw my drink in her face just to make her flinch since I just had an empty cup in my hand.

It wasn't empty.

There was still just enough Sprite left at the bottom of the cup to splash her in the face. At that moment, the party screeched to a halt, and there was dead silence for a while as no one moved. I just sat there horrified with my mouth hung open because I honestly did think I finished that drink all the way to the bottom. Luckily, she knew by my reaction that I hadn't intended on that happening, and everyone had a good laugh about it the rest of the night (plus she tried to get me back several times, so it worked out).

Hmm... when I was little I threw away all my VHS clamshell cases because I guess I thought of them sort of as wrapping paper on a birthday present. Pretty and decorative, but the real prize is underneath the gauze.

Oh, here we go! Maybe I've told this one before, I don't know...

So it happened the April’s Fools Day before last. It all started when this kid was trying to get everyone in our classroom to hide in our English teacher's closet before the morning announcements began. I love that teacher, but she could get a little testy, so the idea was dropped. Nevertheless, a new idea was planted in my head.

The plan went as thus- after lunch, my last period class would pile into our math teacher's closet (who had a much cooler temperature than our English teacher), while she was still outside, managing the herd that was the 7th grade class. Meanwhile, while everyone else was quiet and cramped in a small, dark closet, I would sit in my desk, pretending to read a book, and when Mrs. Sanders arrived, I would tell her everyone was in the bathroom, since I was a "good kid". Then, she would go to the boys and girls bathrooms, and when she came back confused at the emptiness of the stalls, we would all be in our seats, merrily chanting “April Fools!”

It did not work out that way.

Now, all of the students did their jobs marvelously. But that wasn't the problem. I should have known something was going to go wrong when the math teacher, the english teacher, and the vice principal all popped their heads through the doorway, laughing. When the vice principal saw me she stopped laughing, and marched to the closet door. I just about peed in my pants.

She sternly opened the door, and as a procession of terrified 7th graders filed out, she said, “There’s going to be a lot of telephone calls home today. Who wants to go first?”

After all these years, without pulling so much as a little apple out of the Warning Box in 1st Grade, my perfect, upstanding record was to be tarnished… All for a stupid little practical joke. I decided I might as well be noble. Go out with some dignity. Confess as the mastermind of the prank, be a martyr. And, just maybe, I might end with a light sentence, you know? ISS for a week, or maybe sit at the silent table at lunch for the rest of the year, or a paddling after school, or something like that. lol

Meanwhile, as I was going mad, the vice principal said those awful, awful words- "April Fools!"

It was later explained that the math teacher had seen her empty class before she actually stepped in, and that years before another class had pulled the same prank. All the same, I felt like an idiot. I never saw it coming, despite the teacher’s laughter and the vice principal's suddenly serious mood. And saddest of all, my beautiful master plan… was ruined.

But you better believe me, I never tried anything like that again.

When I was five (20 years ago), my mom drew Ariel from The Little Mermaid in colored markers on two big pieces of posterboard taped together and taped it to my bedroom door. For some reason, I licked as much of the drawing as my height would allow me. My mom was a skilled drawer (and she still is today) so it was a great drawing of Ariel. I wish I knew what 5-year-old me was thinking! >_<

I think the title should be "What is the funniest bad thing you've unintentionally done?". something along those lines.

I actually find that a bit sad... A parent should have more respect for books than to give them to a child she knows is just going to tear them up...

If you were old enough to talk, she should have told you they shouldn't be torn up.

Anyway, enough of the thread derailment!

When I was a kid, I made some innocent remark to a "pregnant" lady, the way people do: "Oh, when is the baby due?" or something like that...

She proceeded to get all huffy, and told me she wasn't pregnant!!

Another time, we were waiting behind an old woman at a newspaper rack, to buy our sunday paper. She was having trouble, and I jumped up to help her. After she told me she put the money in the coin slot, and pointed to it, I figured out the problem.

I said "Oh, you put the money in the top rack that is empty, the newspapers are in the bottom rack!" Then I opened the top rack to show her, preventing the money from being returned!!

We gave her our newspaper money, and went without a paper that sunday...
