It sounded like a good idea at the time...

TurtleMomma

Post a good idea you've had that turned into a bad one. It doesn't have to be about LO. Be funny and don't hold back*!

*I can't promise that you won't get flamed

I will start:

Making jello shots with cheap cups. Molten jello melted the cups, destroyed my counter top and burned my hand pretty bad.

Aaaaaaaand go!

Speshul

Making jello shots with everclear and not enough water == chewy shots. I still feel sick thinking about it.

In my earlier years, we were playing a drinking game but didn't have any shot glasses. No problem! We'll just use these small jelly jars instead! They're practically the same, right?

When I finished school( 18 years old) my dh and some friends of mine and I travelled around Europe by train. When we got off one train in Italy we took a lift with a strange man. It was only after he dropped us off at the hostel that we realised how stupid we were! He hung around the hostel for a few days as well which was kind of creepy!

LokiLahve

Microwaving my fried wontons at the DC where I worked. The bag was lined with aluminum foil so it burst into flames.
Smoke detectors went off so we had to clear the building.
It was nap time for the whole center...12 rooms of sleeping kids.

Yeah, I was hated for the rest of the day.

WildRumpus

Menthol cigarettes after a night of drinking.

Rumplemintz. Every. single. time.

During hurricane Katrina- a whole bottle of red wine. No power and a red wine hangover the next day in August down south. Still hurts thinking of that day!

Liquor pong instead of beer pong.. With SoCo

Seeing how fast I could drink a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20. I was puking in the bathroom for hours, and it was blue

LJUTCMommy

Flavored Vodka. That is all.

Eating like I wanted while pregnant; hello 55lbs later!!!

Another: taking a religious education course being taught by MIL. I am a suuuuuuper liberal Catholic, and she quite conservative. Awkward turtle...

DH is automatically good at everything he tries. He just is. Athletics, art, literally anything - it's his forte.

I got a sewing machine hoping to teach myself to sew. I have had it for 10 months. Guess who can fucking sew and who fucking can't.

BlondieBia21

Taking a "shot" (a chug of the can) of 4-Loco every time the song said the word "Shot." (shot shot shot shottsssss…) 

I was in a car waiting to go into a party and ended up finishing about 75% of the can just during that song. I tried to get out of the car and fell on the curb and just laid in the grass while my friends went in. 

Orrrrr there was the time when DH and I had been dating for about 2 months and I went out to "dinner" before he got into town. (We were long distance.) The bar had a special on $1 flavored vodka shots and $2.50 32oz beers. My friend tried to drive me home and I gave her directions to my old house that I had just moved out of a week before. The people came out and yelled "she doesn't live here anymore." So, she took me to DH's house and I broke the door trying to get in. No one was there and I threw my purse and broke my phone screen. I decided that they (DH and his friends) must be at the bar about a mile away so I walked. Bare foot. No phone. No credit card. No ID. The road I walked on was going through construction and a car almost hit me. I remember getting into the car with them (it was a family) and the dad giving the two kids a lecture of what alcohol could do to you and using me as an example. They dropped me off at the bar and I didn't see anyone I knew. I tried to leave to walk back when I ran into a boy from h/s who then drove me to DH's house. He was pissed, and all I could do was tell him how scary my adventure was. 

ETA- 

I swear I'm not an alcoholic, and my friend that was driving was not participating in the events of the day.

Daaaaaaaaaamn Blonders!

Yep! I don't drink beer, so I've played pong with just about everything else. I usually stuck to Smirnoff Ice, Mike's Hard Lemonade, and the like, but one time, I thought it would be fun to play with Everclear lemonade. Apparently, I later tried to eat a Jell-O shot off the ground and then stumbled back to my dorm through the campus gardens with DH (then just BF). Oops!

Also, at my college reunion, I went all out the first day/night: started with frozen margs around noon and then proceeded to drink lots of cheap bubbly, way too many vodka martinis, and more cheap bubbly. The next morning, I woke with the worst hangover of my life, and it lasted for the next 2 days. I felt like I might die.

That one guy in high school...

More than 2 moonshine soaked cherries. Then taking a shot of the "juice". DH made me switch to honest to goodness koolaid.

A friend of mine in college was having a party and her roommate had just moved out. The apartments were furnished and there was a mattress leaning against the wall in the empty room at the end of the hall. After enough cheap vodka and beer and some convincing from my friends I decided it would be a good idea to run full speed down the hall into the mattress. In my drunkeness I guess I thought it would be like falling into a nice soft cloud (wrong). I bounced off that damn mattress and flew about 4 feet into a window sill. I had a bruise about the size of a softball on my back for the next few weeks.

But it seemed like a good idea at the time!! :-/

This is me reading these:

coraggiosa

Since a lot of these are drinking related....

That time I thought it was an excellent idea to drink 1/2 a bottle of scotch while camping. I'm almost unhappy that I remember everything....

My cousin and I drove by this sign that said "crocodile farm" was low on gas...thought it would be quick...kid you not 6 miles later we arrived...there were 2 crocodiles. I was scared for my life...we kept passing scary dudes with machetes...if we would have ran out of gas I would have been so scared...two white girls in the middle of Mexican jungle...wowza!

Mom2bois85

every single time we partied in Mexico in college...no need to elaborate

For my 30th birthday a bunch of us went to Vermont to go skiing. Well it had snowed a ton so we thought it would be fun to go play in it like a bunch of kids. I spend 20 minutes getting dressed get outside and jump off the top of the deck into the snow, only I jumped into ice that had come off the roof. I crawled myself through the snow and back onto the deck and took my boot off to see a swollen purple ankle. The next day (I was stubborn) I went to the smallest hospital ever to find out I had broken my ankle in 3 places and needed surgery. Oh and this was all before I had any alcohol, which is the first question anyone asks when they hear this story!

Watching this episode of "Untold Stories of the ER". Cue the narrator, "A heart attack patient has a homemade sex toy in his rectum."

nnikki10

13ish jagger bombs. Lotsa throw up out the window of a moving car and a broken kitchen window( Unknown how) I will never touch jagger or monster again.

shootthemoon

21st bday, clubbing in NYC, my cousin says "what do you want your first legal drink to be?" I say "Long Island iced tea"

It seemed like a good idea. Until I made an ass of myself making out with a random friend of a friend all over the dance floor and puking in the ladies room (not in a toilet, alas) while my BFF who HATES doing so held my hair.

Good times.

AprilRaine

Fireball whiskey shots at the local cowboy bar with DH and his guy friends! I was the cool chick who thought she could keep up with the guys until later that night I was crying to my sister (who was babysitting DS) on my bathroom floor because I kind of had to poop but I didn't want to get up off the cold tile. 

A few weeks after that night I got a positive pregnancy test so I'm vaguely aware that the poop feeling passed and DH and I DTD. Ahhh, the romance.

TexasGirl81

Sharing a bottle of Tequila straight with a friend by only taking shots. I think it took only 15 min to finish.

An hour later in a deep ditch throwing up on a pretty busy highway. Trying to get out also, that didn't go well. I can't count how many times I fell back in that ditch. Oooooo good times!

I'm afraid this will be me! I just ordered a sewing machine for my birthday.... When I told my mom she laughed..

I was living in an apartment with the garage under it and these huge metal electric gates to get in and out. When we were moving something I had the wise idea to stick my arm through the gate (I was on the inside) to turn the key to open it so my dad could drive his van in. Cue shoulder being wedged between a cement wall and and iron gate, three random guys trying to hold the gate from pulling my arm in further, firemen, jaws of life, an ambulance, TV crew and a torn rotator cuff. After a few hours in the ER my family took me to dinner at Bubba Gumps where my dad bought me a "Stupid is as stupid does" bumper sticker for my sling.

I've only been drunk twice, and both times it involved jagger bombs. I refuse to touch those now!

Doing shots with my future FIL, the first time I met him. It was at a wedding and by the end, H (BF at the time) had to, uh, help me get to the car.

Then H had to peel me out of my spanx when I passed out on his couch at home. I imagine it was like peeling off a sausage casing. Great first impressions all around.

LEMSA

Buying a standard car when I didn't know how to drive it. Burned the clutch in a day. Oops! Well, it was under warranty and I told the shop my friends drove it.

Ahem. So my roommate taught me. He drive it home from the dealership when I bought it, he thought he could teach me by just explaining what he did as he drove it.

Ya, that didn't work.

The car was awesome when I could finally drive it. 2 door Audi TT convertible. Hott!

mommabmb

Two dogs would be fun, I said.... I'll walk and play with them everyday, I said.... Two dogs in our small house isn't a problem, I said....
