mikebohio Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 after a late night last night i got up,made my coffee, and proceeded to fill my coffee mug with sugar instead of the sugar bowl. it got me thinking of some of the boneheaded things ive done in the past. one year after months of preparation for opening day i was walking to my stand and realized i left my tags at home. another time i pulled up on what would have been my first buck at 20yrds to realize i never loaded my gun. i think the single most boneheaded thing i've ever done is one day i was helping my brother rewire an old boat he had. i had to crawl through a small opening underneath the front of the boat to run some wires.when i stuck my head in i notice a large and very active bees nest. i went in his garage to look for some bee spray and of course there was none. what i did find was a can of starting fluid. i thought what the heck i'll give it a try. i sprayed the nest down and almost instantly the bees started hitting the deck. once i seen there were no more bees moving i knocked down the nest. i proceeded to crawl through the small opening and went to work................................................................................................ for those of you not familiar with starting fluid it is either. the same stuff used to put people to sleep. the bees i was so proud of killing was actually asleep. they started waking up while i was working. i must have gotten stung 20 times before i could weasel my way back out of the opening. anyone else have a boneheaded story they wish to share?

Dawg Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've forgotten my hunting license before, climbed into my bow stand before only to realize I forgot my release, sitting in a pop up blind one cold morning and had a longhorn spike come 30 yards in front of me....pulled the trigger and "SNAP".....forgot to load it. Went to brush my teeth one morning.....was dog tired still and ended up puttting shampoo on my tooth brush instead of tooth paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 When I was 12 I jumped out of the back of a truck going down the road about 30mph cause I thought I could land running and be ok. I wanted to walk home.....Hit feet first but promptly slammed my head into the gravel and had a severe concussion. My boss called me one day and was chewing me out about forgetting to sign a report and after I got off the phone with him, I began telling my helper what a DB he was.....looked back down at my phone a few seconds later and he was still on the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I have too many (a shocker I know ) 2 that I will share that I doubt anyone can top is... #1 My buddy and I rode to work together every day for 3 years straight and we met at the same place at the same time every day.... but this one morning I called him and said hey meet me at the Dairy Queen Im going to get some breakfast there and I just jump in with you there... That evening we got to our regular parking lot with my car no where in sight.... I called the police and my wife, I was in the middle of filing a stolen car report when my wife drives up and walk out of the car. The first thing she said was "Didnt he pick you up at Dairy Queen this morning"...... :angel2: #2 and my most embarassing... I was training a new guy to install Satellites and we were at a guys house needing to run a new cable to his reciever... We were going to get into the crawl space and run the cable BUT he come to me and say hey the crawl door is too small for me to get in... He's smaller than me and Im 6'7 330 I said dude c'mon I can get in there (the door was 17'' by 20'' we measured later) SO I procedd to have a hold my beer and watch this moment by lodging my upper body into the hole and not being able to back out... I almost panicked but I managed to wiggle the rest of my body into the hole in the process removing the pants from the lower half of my body (tight fit) I pull my britches up and tell my trainee to go ask the guy of we can chip around his door to make it bigger for me to get out... We chipped around it but it didnt help... the trainee ended up having to pull one of my arms as I wiggled my way back out again removing my pants... After it was all done I looked at him and said "Remember Im the one who fills out your performance review" :clap:.... Not proud of that one... (althought it is funny.... I can laugh at myself) Edited January 11, 2011 by TennesseeTurkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've posted this before, but one day at the grocery store I went out the in door and the automatic door closed as I was leaving trapping me right in the middle.... Boneheaded and embarrasing all at the same time. I'll never forget the door smashing my milk jug as I squirmed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Gotta agree with MCH, one of the funniest things I have read on here. Think yours is gonna be tough to beat there Mike. Good thing I was not drinking coffee when I read that about the bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I tried to remove the hard top to a 1962 Corvette I owned during my teenage years by myself. I almost fell backwards out of the car and through plate glass window. So I tried to sit it back down into place and the bracket on the hard top scratched the paint on the car's top cover and trunk. Ouch..... New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Maybe I should not post this but maybe I can save another life, but when I was a young punk I took a pair of tree pruners and decided to see what they would do to the electric service on the side of my parents house. True story,just ask my Dad, PA RIDGE RUNNER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 My son Joe saved his hard earned snow shoveling money and finally bought his own climbing tree stand. A Summit Viper. So I load it into the bed of the pickup to take it up to camp so he can practice climbing and how to pick trees to climb. " Dad...don't you need to tie it down in the back?" Naa...Joe it ain't going anywhere. It is 22 lbs. We drive non stop to camp, get out the truck and proceed to unload it. Its gone! I had two wheel barrows in the bed also that must have shifted and forced the stand out of the truck. Someone found a brand new Summit Viper on the road somewhere and I had to buy the boy another. Til this day...If I load a 500lb skid of steel in the back, I tie EVERYTHING down now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 my wife had just gotten a new 1983 suburban. we had a family of homebuyers wanting to look at a house, so we all loaded into the suburbans 3 seats for a tour. after getting into the drivers seat, i discovered the keys were not in the ignition. i jumped out saying i'll be right back. i slammed the door as i started to run into the office. but, my fingers were in the door and my momentum brought my stomach onto the big outside mirror. there i was, wind knocked out of me and fingers stinging in pain trying to open the door. they bought the house anyway. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
