Just a note to anyone that reads this: please, share your stupid stories with me. I think something can be learned from this. I have no clue what that is yet, but its fun to tell some of these stories and laugh at how friggin' dumb I was as a teenager.
Another thing that was in the news somewhat recently that reminded me of a dumb thing I did was this. I did pretty much the same thing, except rather than falling asleep I was just being a dumb ass.
I had just got my first car, which as I said previously was quite fast and entirely inappropriate for a dumb ass new driver such as myself. I was at a party with some friends and when it was time to leave we all piled into our cars. I was eager to peel out and prove just how dumb I was, but just as I was about let off the clutch and smoke out the neighborhood, my friend pulled out in front of me. He was driving his Mom's crappy old Ford Fiesta, and he was going really slowly. I was stuck behind him for what felt like hours when it was really just 30 seconds probably, but all of a sudden he swerved out of the way to the right. I thought he was finally getting out of the way to let me pass so I floored it. He was actually moving around the giant grass mound island in the middle of the road, which I completely forgot about. As soon as I nailed the gas I was slamming into the island, and the next thing I know we were crashing down on the far side, completely shaken and discombobulated. My friend rolled up beside us laughing, "Holy shit dude, you were like 3 feet in the air!". We got out and looked, and there were two tire tracks going up the the beginning side of the mound, and then they stopped...and restarted on the far side of the island. We had gone completely airborne and cleared almost the whole thing. That was real beginning of the end of that poor car.
