Have you ever done anything so stupid you don't know how you possibly did it or what was running in your mind? This happened a few years back

I woke up in the middle of the night having to pee really bad. Now the bathroom is connected to my room and is a straight walk across my room from my bed. I went out of my room, through the living room, to the kitchen and stood in front of the sink. I was just about to relieve myself in the sink when I noticed dishes. I almost jumped back in fright of how stupid I was and I still can't quite figure out how/why I did that.

Please tell me I'm not alone

my stupid things mainly revolve around mistaken identity…

It wasn't "stupidity", it was in all probability a state of half or partial consciousness..
Most people think that you are either "awake" or "asleep".. The truth is sleep is not off/on like most people think, it is very fluid, especially when waking up and going to sleep.

There were probably parts of your brain still in la-la land, and parts awake. It doesn't take drugs or alcohol to induce these episodes of partial consciousness either, they happen all the time to many people.. I have had some really crazy things happen in the past, that I didn't even understand until I learned more about the way our brains sleep.

So don;t worry about it unless these things start happening more often. (that's my professional medical opinion )


edit-
Go read about being "aware" during an operation while the anesthetic is SUPPOSE to be making you sleep, but all it does is paralyze you and relax your muscles, but makes it impossible for you to scream out in pain as the doctor slices into you for 4 hours.. That is some scary shit. Being awake during an operation, but paralyzed. Kinda like Hell I imagine.

Yeah, I thought so as well, but I guess the emphasis that ^_^ is trying to focus on here (how the hell do you pronounce that, is it "happy face!" or do you just make a happy face!!? ) is the fact that the thing you do is stupid, and not that you yourself were stupid at the time.

Well, I've done a few dumb things in my time, including that sink thing as well ^_^ (but it was the bathroom sink, not the kitchen sink! ), like I've ramped off the side of a hill with a normal BMX bike (it wasn't even a mountain bike, neither was it endorsed by Rockhopper) and I happened to snap the bike frame but luckily not both of my legs, and I've messed up many computer components coz I was angry that they're not working at the time (this was a long time ago when I was young, years back, not now) by pulling at them, pushing them in too hard, banging them, etc etc. For example I messed up my first pair of Creative Soundblaster speakers in this way when I was really pissed off at them for going on and off coz the connection was loose (I don't know what happened to the jack, in those days sound card jacks were just bit loose I guess) and then when I was trying to put it back in, it fell out and I pulled it hard and it got caught under the wheel of the computer stand we had at the time, which had on little wheels with which you could wheel it around on at the time, and then the whole plug in end just came off and I had on my hands a set of speakers with a messed up cable. So yeah, I've had my share of stupid things I've done in my life, I can't say that no more will occur in the rest of my life (which I hope is a significant number of years, and happy ones at that) but I have done stupid things and I have been rebuked at length by my father and mother for most of them.

I'm also very forgetful, so sometimes I'll forget some of the most important things when I go somewhere, which isn't a very nice trend to have but I'm happy to say that it is getting alot better now.

Sleepwalking is a great(but somewhat stupid) thing. We taped my friend sleepwalking for half an hour once. He walked in the kitchen, made a sandwich, put it back in the fridge, walked into the Evil Wine soundstage, and proceeded to pee all over my friend's guitar pedals.

I heard you're not supposed to wake someone up during sleepwalking, but we did anyways. The comic and medical value seemed irrelevant to the ruination of $550 of sound equipment.

[digerati]

theres a big difference between 11 shots over the course of a night and ten within 45 min. not to mention it hit me all at once due to the lack of food in my stomach because i dot eat alot. i literally remember everything up to a certain point and then nothing but the next morning

Well it wasn't the duration of a whole night. My girlfriend made me drink before we went to her friends room to play a drinking game (she said her friends can't drink at all) so I had 11 in the duration of an hour to an hour and a half.

[nuG]

i love three man, anyone ever play that drinking game? it involves dice and whoever rolls the first three is three man, and every three rolled after means that guy has to drink. and if someone rolls double threes than they are three man. theres more rules, but thats the basics

i used to have a huge gravel pit next door to me, and they had a good 200ft+ cliff over there. it wasnt uncommon at all to just jump 10 feetdown the side of it and run the rest of way down.

well on day they cut directly into the side of that cliff and it was just a straight drop off in an area. in one spot there was about a 10ft drop before you hit sand that you could run down. right next to that was a 30ft drop before teh sand.

i took about 10 steps backwards for a little running jump, figureing id go over in the spot with the little drop off. i missed. let me tell you, free falling for 30 feet is one hell of an experiance. i hit that sand mound running and just about flew down the rest of that cliff.

then there was that time i was playing with fireworks in a dry grassy filed when we had a high fire threat... needless to say i burnt down about 2-3 acres of my neighbors field.

Thats very true, just as its differant when u smoke 5 bowls in an hour vs all day. *remembers not even being able to stand up after the 5 bowl smoke off and couldnt even get on my knees or anything, I was just stoned beyond reconization* Now when I smoke 5 in spoltchy hours all day just smoking slowly, I can move around just like normal and even play games.

Tho with alcohol if I drank 11 shots well, lets not say 11 shots cuz 1 glass of vodka straite ive done and drank it in a total of 45-60 seconds. Now I dont even remember when I passed out but I aperently was dancing on the floor and holding hands with an imaginary person named Carla before I passed out and when I did I ended up falling into a pot with a plant in it but my roommate picked me up and put me on the futon so I could sleep contribly. But when I woke up I had a terrible throbing headache hours and hours later but was still very very drunk and was still drunk for another 4 hours.

Now drinking 2 bottles of wine over the periods of 1 whole day to stay drunk all day is really nice, just be sure to drink water too or ull get a headache. But its nothing near being as drunk as 1 tall glass of vodka. And im a light skinny shortish person"115lbs", at least for my family on the short part. So I dont speak for every size and shape. lol

[Geminiwave]

trust me, your not the only one thats suprised i havnt broken anything yet. or alive and not either in a vegatative state or will massive brain damage.

when i was little, i took a baseball bat to the forehead. no major injures shockingly. (was my own fault, was standing way to close to the batter)

took a thick heavy metal pipe to the head a couple of years ago. pipe was probably about 2-3in in diameter and 1/2 thick. there where a ton of them and they where all stuck in a base so they could be set up for volleyball posts.
we were playing indoor hockey in gym and the puck went back by those posts. i rush back there with 3 other guys on the other team going for it, and one of the bases was laying on another one, so the base was up in the air. i basicly jumped back there trying to get the puck, but i landed on the base that was up in the air. needless to say, that pipe came slamming real fast, and very hard. you could hear it echo through the entire gym.... suprisingly i only stumbled back abit and then kept playing.

ive been nailed in the back of the head with good sized logs a couple of times before. just throwing logs in a pile and then one comes flying out of the pile and nails me in the head. thats always fun....

[LuCifer]

Man your Stories are hella funny. Well I felt Stupid as Hell... I was asleep when I hear the Phone and I didnt get up like all the way and it kept ringing so I guess I dremt\felt I had got up and Answered it... I was Like... "Hello... Hello?" When It rings again... I was Like wtf? So I open My eyes and Realized I was Still in Bed... and the Phone Kept ringing... LOL!

[BiGBrOwNPimpsta]

i was put my keys in my ear because i was gonna try to answer my gf's cell phone call

[Dark Lord]

lol nice nice.

ive got another one where im truely suprised i didnt kill my self.

when i was... ohhh, no older then 5 i had this push tractor i used to ride all over the place. well i wanted to go downstairs and see my dad but i didnt feel like walking down. rideing the tractor down 25 wooden steps seemed like a good idea at the time... so ya, i push off and hit the first step, tractor tips and i go tumbling down. i land on the base ledge at the bottom of the stairs, and by that time the tractors landed on top of me.
i dont remeber what happend after that, but ive been told i was bleedin like a pig.
my mom called my uncle who's a doctor and asked if i should go to the hospital. he said as long as i dont have any skull showing, no head aches, and i feel fine, not to worry about it. just keep constant preassure on it and not to worry that its gushing blood seeing as head wounds tend to be quite bloody.

then thers another potential fatal head injury i had involving a brick fire place. ill spare you the story seeing as its rather boreing. just to sum it all up, i fell and hit my head on the edge of the brick fireplace and again, bleed like a pig.
