Not long term bad choices, more like you did something then immediately thought "oh no why did I do that"

Mine is, while trying to cure hiccups I decided to take a shot of apple cider vinegar. This works almost immediately, however I then notice I have indigestion from it and decide to eat a tsp of baking soda.

The realization of what I did hits me a millisecond too late as the baking soda goes down my throat and 2 seconds later I become a human volcano spewing the entire contents of my stomach all around my kitchen sink with a surprisingly intense force. I was basically firehosing.

Anyone else have one?

    Was bored in some casino on the main strip in Vegas. My 3 friends were running around playing slots/blackjack and I had already lost $60 so my dumbass split off from them & got on grindr since I'd been stuck with my friends for almost 2 weeks at this point and was :pingu-horny:

    Meet up with some random guy in one of the casino bathrooms and proceeded to fuck him. As soon as I came I was like "w-why did I just bareback some stranger in a Vegas bathroom of all places after maybe five minutes of conversation, I'm gonna get an STD", grab the dude by the arm before he leaves the stall and ask him when the last time he tested clean was. He kinda smirks and goes "uhhh about six months ago but no worries I don't do this often"

    mfw I get back home a week & a half later after the rest of the vacation and test positive for syphilis after noticing a bump on my pp :angry-hex:

    always use protection

    Evergreen instance: checking if hot thing is hot

    Yes, the car lighter gets hot and will ignite the seat covers. Yes, the iron is hot and will cook your thumb flat. Yes, the coffee is hot and now you can't taste it.

    :yea:

    When I was a kid I had one of those cap guns but the cap wasn't going off so I just bit into it. It went off in my mouth and my tongue started bleeding. I can feel a lump in my tongue to this day from it.

      Hey I did something similar, I had never made vodka sauce from scratch before and dumbly put my face right over the vaporizing creme, bourbon and vodka in the skillet and almost immediately passed out face-first into a simmering pan

        It's so tantalizing! My partner and I were just speculating on what a carnivorous plant would have to do to entice us, and I gotta say a delicious smelling sauce would get me every time

    I remember as a kid sitting in a mall, and there was a lamp on the desk with a hole where the switch should be, conveniently finger sized.

    Yeah, I don’t know what I expected to happen

    My dumb 5 year old ass wanted to drink buttermilk. My logic was "I like butter" and "I like buttermilk pancakes".

    Needless to say I was horribly horribly wrong. :minion-steve:

    When I was eight I stuck a plastic bullet up my nose and my dad had to take me to the ER to get the doctor to pull it out.

    I couldn't resist, it looked like it was the PERFECT FIT for my nostril.

      I swear I’ve heard this story from so many people. Something about those fucking plastic bullets, it’s like they’re meant to go in your nose

      Same, but with a piece of chalk. My sister did a bead from one of those plastic necklaces that each of the beads pop in to the next.

        Oh that is weird. I once stuck my face into a pile of those necklace beads that belonged to my sisters, and for a few weeks or so I was utterly convinced that one had gone up my nose, since it had already happened once.

    when i worked in the lab back in the day we used this dye called crystal violet which was used as a stain to show up bacterial colonies etc for experiments. incredibly intense dark purple dye and we were always told about how intensely fucking toxic it was (even by the standards of shit you keep around a lab), and the sort of thing you always work with in one of those lab fume hoods with all the precautions etc

    one weekend i was doing some shit in the lab on my own, and needed the crystal violet but noticed the current batch of the concentrated stuff had gone all clumpy and precipitatey. shook it up a bunch and decided to just filter it with a really big syringe with a little filter that twists on to the syringe nozzle. and cos its the weekend and im lazy and i really dont want to be there, i dont bother going over to the fume hood to do it and just do it on the bench and i didnt both putting goggles on either. very thick and clumpy and needed a lot of force on the syringe plunger to push the stuff through the filter, which eventually flew off and with a whole bunch of force a whole load of intense thick purple liquid dye sprayed all across the lab and also all over my face.

    first thought was oh jesus fuck ive just killed myself with some slow agonising death from all this toxic shit on my face, and im also gonna die looking like the worlds dumbest idiot with bright purple dye all over my face that will never come off. fortunately there were actual showers at the labs (not just those emergency ones) so snuck up there and fortunately with enough scrubbing the shit all came off. spent half the day cleaning all this dye off everything in the lab and told absolutely nobody since i knew someone would go ballistic if they found out. people were finding weird purple spots around the place for ages though lol. anyway turns out on further reading yes the stuff is kinda nasty but nowhere near as toxic as wed been led to believe, and 10 years later im still alive with my face not looking any more shitty than expected from ten years of aging so i guess i got off kinda lucky?

    also once someone offered me $20 to snort a line of salt, 0/10 would not recommend

      I remember being like 9 at a log cabin with my parents and seeing an axe by some firewood. I went over, swung the axe straight down on a log that was laughably too small and the blade wiffs and passes right between my legs. I still think about that shit to this day.

      Like a fucking inch to left or right and an axe goes into my kneecap, slightly higher and it goes straight into my 9 year old balls. Jesus I got lucky that day.

        Worse. Your axe hits your thigh and you sever your femoral artery. Likely bleeding out before an ambualnce can get out to the wild to find you.

        When I did my toe in I got my hands covered in blood to the point the touch screen on my phone wouldn't work. I was alarmed
