We all do it. Something really stupid or something that makes us go "Duh". What was yours?
Mine:Trying to fry (frozen) sausage on top of the stove with a little oil in the pan. Bad Idea! Hey some items are best fried frozen (like perogies), this is just not one of them.
Thinking men grew up. Is that a DUH or what?
I mean, this isnt a man-bashing at all. However, grampa rides a motorcycle with his 90 y/o friends, dad still loves gags, fiance is a video game freak. It's not a bad thing, but I remember thinking they grew up... till I was an adult and saw dad as a person rather than just "dad."

well i fry frozen sausage all the time (like frozen ground beef)--no oil & on low--good luck next time
Mine happened when I was in a cleaning fit when pregnant with my first kid and nesting like crazy. The toaster was dirty so I washed it! I knew it wouldn't work after washing it but that didn't matter at the time, it just needed to be clean!
, i guess the thought that the baby wasn't going to be putting the toaster in his/her mouth didn't cross your nesting mind 
(just playing around w/ya) that's just to funny
stupidest thing i ever done....i think about it--quite a few, got to figure out which was the "est"
My stupidest thing....putting laundry soap in the dishwasher. My mother did this all the time in a pinch and one day when I was about 16 I tried it. Apparently my mom only added a little, where as I added the normal amount. An hour later the foam rolled out of the kitchen into the living room. 
Luckily my dad had a good laugh over it and the floor shined for a good week afterwards.
Now the super Stupid part of this story....I didn't learn my lesson. The first time I ran out of dish soap in my first apartment I tried my mothers little trick again, using considerably less this time around. My DH, who was not my DH at the time, starts screaming frantically as the soap began to foam out of the bottom. I never did figure out how my mother got away with it, 
but needless to say my DH is certain we NEVER run out of dishwashing detergent still to this day.

I did the same thing once but in reverse. I didnt have any detergent to wash my clothes so I squirted a little dishwashing liquid in there. I didnt get to see what happened but my mother was pretty mad at me.
Many years ago I opened the hood of my car while it was running, opened the air filter, and leaned it to look at it. I forgot about my long hair... I must have a guardian angel because I realized just in time that my hair was about to get caught in the spinning filter!
That one might have earned me a Darwin Award.
I also jumped into a raging, flooded river to swim, figuring I was a good swimmer, but completely underestimated the power of the water. I finally caught a tree and pulled myself out.
I don't miss my twenties.

I put my life in danger. Gee i was an idiot when i was teen!!! A friend and I hitch-hiked for about 1200kms(745miles), from Melbourne to Sydney then Newcastle and beyond . That was stupid enough, years later, we found out that during that time a serial killer had been in that stretch of highway killing hitchikers. YIKES!!!
We were very very lucky.
I have to tell this story on my mother, it really isn't so stupid, just funny.
After my dad passed away mother decided the car needed an oil change and that she could do it herself. She managed to get the old oil drained and a new filter installed. When she started to add the new oil, she added 5 quarts of oil just fine, but it took a while, she put it in through the dipstick!

PS I have so many stupid's, I can decide on one!
daltonam, yes..dumb I know washing a toaster, my DH brings it up about once a month still and it has been almost 7 years! I just HAD to clean it though or in my mind at the time the whole world would be blown up! So you all can thank me later for saving your lives by cleaning my dirty toaster 
This just happened a few weeks ago: i was grilling and when pressing the ignight (s/p?) button it wouldn't work, so I thought HHHMMMMM what's going on here? So I lifted the lid just a few inches and pressed it again. The flame that shot out was BIG! It singed my eyebrows, eye lashes and left arm hair. Luckily no one was around the grill to notice and I have really long eye lashes! I fessed up later to my DH and he just laughed and said he did the same last year and never told me.
OK - my friends grandmother had to go to the GYN Dr and thought she would use some of her daughters feminine spray. She had not been to the Dr in years and we all yelled at her, she went to her daughters Dr even though she really didn't want to. OK used the spray, went to Dr, Dr said "WOW you got all gussied up for me huh???'' She stormed out of the office - extremely mad, didn't let him finish the exam and cursed at everyone along the way. When she got home, she laid into her daughter, when her daughter said "did yo do anything different?" Grandma said - used your FDS spray - daughter says - I don't have that spray - they go to the bathroom and she had used the grand daughters gold hair glitter spray!
this happened right after college when i was job hunting.
i had an interview in the city and had to take the commuter train because i live about 25mins outside the city. i was running really late and the train was already at the station when i pulled in to the parking lot. i was in such a panic that i was going to miss the train that i parked, opened the car door and ran to the train.
my mother got a call about an hour later from the police station. i had left the keys in the ignition, with the car STILL RUNNING, and THE CAR DOOR WIDE OPEN!!!
needless to say, i didn't get the job.
