benos Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I guess this forum's the best place to start this. This one is guy only... Remember that first time... When you threaded your belt through the first loop, then gave 'er a nice, sharp tug - and the buckle-end whipped up, down, then back up like a bullwhip and cracked you right in the balls. I may have done that twice actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I once had some 2x4's that were 16' long that I wanted to bring home from the lumber yard. I figured I could ope then sliding rear window on the pick up truck and just put them through so only a couple of feet would hang over the tail gate. Well I slid a couple up and all was going as planned. Then about the 3rd one went all the way to the windshield - crack! I have since been more cautious.

Kory Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Spend several hours welding with a MiG wearing short a sleeve V-neck, because your buddy that just gave you the five minute into to welding class didn't mention anything about having all the skin blister and fall off your biceps and neck later that night from the most intense sunburn you'll ever have in your life.

Skywalker Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Man only, huh? OK, never, and I mean NEVER, ever try to enter sidewise in a shower stall that has sliding panels, while your pride and joy isn't under full control, otherwise it might get pinched between the sliding panels ... And, the incontrollable laughter from your wife who was trying to get out of the shower (and actually opening the panels) while you were entering won't help at all ...

Vlad Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hmm .. I changed my windshield wipers once and I let the arm drop to the windshield while I had the wiper part off. Instant cracked windshield. Never again I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Ellis Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Another guy only ... When cinching down the legstraps of your skydiving rig, make sure none of your 'package' is caught under the straps. It will be painfully obvious of your error on canopy deployment. Every male jumper I know has done this, once. One did it twice but I think he enjoyed it.

SiG Lady Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Gender-neutral event: Table saw, cutting 2x4's, and somehow the length of lumber shot forward and stuck itself in the middle of a huge plate glass window (this was the dining room, mind you). It happened so fast the hole in the glass was the perfect outline of a 2x4 end. Significant other not home at the time. My first thought was, "Crap, it could've shot back AT me and killed me!!" (or at least ruined my sexual options) Then I looked at the window, then I thought, "Oh shit, is Mike (the hubby not home at the time) going to be pi**ed!!" Turns out he wasn't as pi**ed as I thought he was going to be, but the replacement window piece was a killer expense. The little rectangular hole in the window stayed there awhile.

You would think this would be a self-rectifying problem, but I have done it 4 times! Three times during Area 1. : My thumb is still a bit sore there.

j2fast Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) This might apply more in the young and stupid category but... After approximately a 12 pack or so each some friends and I decided it was a good idea to venture through the train tunnel just beyond the clearing we had made our drinking area that evening. After all it's 1AM trains don't come through in the middle of the night in this area we said. The tunnel in question was about 800 meters long and we were about 80% of the way through when we questioned what the flashing yellow light was beyond the end of the tunnel. As it turns out the crossing signal lights on the PA side of the tunnel were yellow. We'd never seen yellow crossing lights, all of the crossing lights on the WV side are red. A few moments later the dead give-away was the single white light pretty high off of the ground with a Conrail sign under it. Now we could have easily and semi safely made it to the short end but of course given our state of drunkenness we turned to run the other way (the long way). We were strapping athletic lads at the time but the girls slowed us down (everyone almost made it). Needless to say I spent the better part of 10 minutes up against a wall about 100 meters short of getting out with a train rolling past at what seemed at the time like 100 MPH with two screaming young ladies on either side of me. No suffered any permanent physical damage and of course our wives now tell us how stupid we were every time we recount the story. Ahhh to be an early 20 something again with no bills, responsibilities, and in this case with no sense to speak of.....

spook Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Guy only... Pee against an electric fence. Cross your legs before you sit on a chair (don't ask). Have your expert horse back riding GF take you on your first ride with you wearing boxer shorts instead of briefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Gotta add one to the "don't do while naked". Don't ever walk naked through the house if you have a new playful puppy thats looking for its favorite chew toy. No permanent damage done. And I don't really miss that dog either.

BrianH Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Late for class running towards a ramp with a hand rail made of 3 inch dia. steel pipe. Note book in my right hand and I think I'm gonna vault the sumbitch one-handed like Mickey Fowler going over a wall. Almost made it, caught my toe on the rail took full body weight right between the legs. Had to sit there in class for an hour wondering if that was blood I felt or not...
