Hasn't she noticed the blinding blue flashes from the conductor rail as trains approach?
Wouldn't that be a clue that there might be an element of danger involved?
I despair.

Hit. The. Fucking. Brakes.



Stupider bigger.

Aaand another one:

clicks and views on youtube, he thought would happen...
So I guess he's quite successful

I bet the insurance claim made interesting reading. ;)

Super Mario is used to flaming barrels and stuff so this is nothing for him.

Super Mario...:lol2:

You'll see it coming, they didn't. They still don't know what happened.

Watching on my phone I didn't see it either. But I could rewind. Is that some sort of loading dock?

And why the hell would that lady ask about the candle supply at a time like that?

Yep, loading dock.

And, in answer to your second question, because Alabama.

Maybe an eye test before the next drive.

Candles are dangerous. Not only do they cause house fires, they now contribute to car crashes.

Glatt, freeze at 14 seconds and you can see what must be an Alabama loading dock.

The idiot is the one who designed that without any safety railing. WTF?

Dumb.

Looks like we have our first idiot(s) of the new year. Dumbass(es) tried to rob a gun store.:right:

That's a classic. :haha:

How embarrassing. :blush::blush::blush:

Generally, the hoses at UK petrol stations are long enough to stretch to the far side of the vehicle, so ending up at the 'wrong' side shouldn't cause a problem.

Pumps at my local Tesco...

Attachment 59587

Often true here too, but you have to pull in a little closer to the pump.

I stopped for gas on the Jersey Pike where you can't pump your own. The lines for the right side of the pumps were much longer as more cars(and mine) have the filler on the left. The attendants on the left side were waving people from the right side line to come to the dark side, then dragging the hose over the trunk lid or roof. Fuck that, I refused.

Most cars here have a symbol on the gas gage to tell you which side the filler is on.

Never having borne arms in defence of the realm, it's perhaps unfair of me to brand this chap as IoTD, but I'm going to anyway.

BBC Link.

The speech is in French but the 'bang' will be readily understood in any language.

As some wag observed on another forum:

It's my turn. Not all today, but I'm still healing from 1/3 of my misadventures.

1 -- I have a new (to me) truck, details to follow. But it's got an automatic transmission and having put a couple hundred thousand miles (alllmost) on the VW Golf, I've rowed through a lot of gears. Anyhow, I was driving it home the other day, a really pretty day, I was kinda tired, kinda relaxed, listening to the music, not the news, and as I approached the stop sign, I reached for the clutch with my left foot. Obviously there is no clutch pedal. But the regular step down on it motion, in contrast to the usually much more delicate footwork with the right foot brought me a BIG surprise when my big foot caught the corner of the brake pedal. UURRRRK. screeech. thump. Only my pride and my neck suffered and even then not terribly, but it was kind of an idiot move.

2 -- I don't know much about this truck, it's new to me as I said. And the owner's manual gives some ... moderately detailed diagrams to help the owner distinguish which engine is in the truck, the 3.0 liter V6 or the 4.0 liter V6. Turns out I have the 4.0 liter, but I didn't come to that conclusion until after I'd branded the side of my hand against the exhaust header. Like that city slicker visiting the horseshoe making blacksmith, it doesn't take me long to check out a hot header, but definitely long enough to leave a mark. I looked for a picture, couldn't find one. Just imagine a dumb person with a burned hand. That'd be me.

3 -- For SakuraCon this year I was working on my costume. One part of it involved drilling some small holes in couple of stainless steel mixing bowls. I don't have a vise big enough to hold a bowl, so I just held it in my lap. As I'm pressing down on the concave surface of the bowl with... moderate pressure, I was blithely unaware that the drill was pointed right at my crotch. That is until the drill slipped and I tried to stab myself in the femoral artery.

Idiot.

#1 - been there, done that, many times because I own multiple vehicles but primarily drive the automatics. Also braking without pushing in the clutch, but that's not as embarrassing because it's less noticeable by other drivers. :o

#2 - Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, burning the equivalent of probably two complete sheets of body covering skin. :o

#3 - Not that way, but drill, grinder, a saw wounds for sure. :o

#4 - My pet mechanic trick is working underneath, bang my forehead on the vehicle, jerk my head back and bash the back of my head into the ground, then jerk my head up and you know what happens. My record is two complete cycles without stopping. :o

Thats a nice picture of your nuts.

A buddy once let a belt sander rest on his thigh for a moment while it was running down. Grabbed his jeans, his thigh skin, and anything within reach and dragged it all into the machine. Left a hell of a mess.

jesus...

Yes?

Baby: My God, Gravdigr.

Me: I know it seems that way sometimes, but I'm just a man, Baby.

True Story™.

If ever there were an idiot:

A hand-y reminder? :facepalm:

She had 3 kids it the wagon until one screamed so much she moved it to the car before she was stopped. She said she was doing 5mph, witnesses say 30.

When you've lost your damn mind, this is what it looks like.

Ladies and gentlemen of The Cellar, I give to you our Idiot of the Day:

Attachment 61756

Trying to inflate her tire w/a fire extinguisher.

Can ppl really be that stupid?

The camera might never lie but it can sometimes mislead. Consequently I was slightly uneasy about posting this here.
At the same time, I didn't think there was much mileage in a thread entitled 'Somewhat Misguided Person of the Day'.
So Idiot it is.

Attachment 63227

Not a relaxing moment.

Maybe it's Suicide Bunny in disguise?

I can't even...

i know a guy who swore by inflating his truck tires with CO2 ( fire extinguishers with the horn are CO2)

To attach an extinguisher would require the proper connection so it's already been modified, could be an expired exinguisher with a couple of hundred pounds of pressurized air in it (from a shop compressor). I have a couple of expired extinguishers a testing company gave me, to make air cannons ( like a t shirt cannon).
Still if you have a supply of compressed air at home,, why do you need to carry some around?

"Still if you have a supply of compressed air at home,, why do you need to carry some around?"

Well, let's see...

It could be an idiot trying to inflate a car tire with a fire extinguisher, too.

Don't give people credit. People are idiots.

"In an effort to ensure the quality of the drug the suspect purchased, detectives told Kelly if he came to the sheriff's office they could test the narcotic he purchased..."

"I...I've made a big mistake."

Yes I am as dumb as I look.

Oh good lord.... I haven't found this stuff yet..... :lol: (although I do(kinda) know where the paintball/nerf grenade launcher he made from one is....

Today's idiot is me. :o
All these years, the countless hours and great effort expended to chase those whippersnappers off my lawn. What a waste.

All I had to do is sign up for the sex offender registry and now every cop and parent around do all the work for me.:facepalm:

Maybe that story you told about the woman who was offended because you didn't turn her over will qualify.

Well, this story has everything, idiocy, puns and mole grips.
Could you really ask for more?

Plus he was sitting on the wrong side of the car. :haha:

How could he steer with those mole grips if they aren't a hand tool?
