It's like people on reddit have never done stupid shit.

Not THAT stu- ... wait, nevermind. When I was about 10, my dumb ass decided I wanted to touch the tippy-most-top leaf on a tree that was more than 3 stories up (I knew that it was at least that high because I could see onto the flat roof of a 3-story apartment building nearby). Made it near the top, so I'm proud of that, but then a branch broke under one of my feet and I fell all the way down, landing flat on my back onto grass. I'm very lucky to have survived, and even luckier that it was with no severe injuries. Hurt like hell though.

I fell out of a tree and sprained my wrist pretty bad. Hid that from my mom for 2 days, lol.

Climbing top high is one thing, OP is a special kind of dumb

I burned an entire wall of a church, borrowed from another denomination, out of boredom because I found a kitchen lighter in the potluck area and sermon was about an hour long.

I lit the Sunday church kids' drawings on the wall.

Edit. I was SDA. Same shit, just on a Saturday instead of Sunday.

I was around 10. Lit the corners, "put" it out, and took nap. Woke up to fire alarms and smoke. I guess fireproof crayons weren't a big thing back then, and I acquired many fuck ups past that.

I thought you said borrowed from another dimension and the story was way more interesting

This argument comes up a lot and no - not I nor any friends I want to keep have done stupid shit like this. This isn't normal.

There's levels of stupidity.

I'd argue that most people have done ill-advised stuff. Or messed around, or did silly things. Some people just go for even more stupid stuff to do than others do.

I think a lot of people assume that everyone did the stupid shit they did lol

During a class?

You have just acclimated to a level of stupidity as the norm. No, this is not normal.
