Stupid stuff you have done BECAUSE people were watching...

Inspired by the other thread about stuff you do in privacy.

I went skiing last weekend and was playing around in the terrain park. This group of five or so really cute girls showed up to watch all of us, so of course, I decided to show off and try and do a trick way above my ability level.

My wrist is now broken in two places.

What about everyone else? I'm sure I'm not the only one to fail while trying to impress other people.

Not me personally, but my ex drummer was at my house and the two of us and two other friends were drinking a bottle of Everclear. I started lighting everyones shots on fire. My drummer thought he'd get technical on us and distinguish the flame by blocking the oxygen flow to the flame, with his palm. As soon as he put his palm on the rim the oxygen burnt up, suctioning the shot glass to his palm and leaving him a nice little circular scar and a lot of pain.

I went skiing in the Alps. One day I'd been talking to these two really nice guys, one of whom I had a thing for, so I decided to give the slalom a run to impress him.

One ripped cruciate ligament later and my instructor had to send me back down the mountain by car.

Owch.

I built a house out of Lego, filled it with flammable objects and set it on fire.

I jumped/fell of a 10 foot diving platform to impress a girl i didn't really like it would have been really cool if I wasn't terrified of heights. I hesitated on the last step, ended up stumbling and tripping over my own feet instead of running and jumping off. It all ended as a belly flop and lots of pain.

Danced in a public area to "Apache" by the Sugarhill Gang, while wearing a tuxedo and a sombrero.

I also went to a party in drag, an event which I still haven't lived down.

We just had an ice storm over the last few days, and I was on my way out to talk to the neighbors. I was doing a stupid little jig on my front porch, and when I got close to the steps, my feet were more ready to go than I was. I beat up 2 of my steps with the back o' my head, and my car was parked close, so I somehow kicked the headlight on my way down. Everyone thought it was funny.

I hate them all.

I couldn't tell you what I did, but I once woke up in a friend's high-heels.


I think that qualifies.

Tried "surfing" down a wet sliding board while somewhat intoxicated.

I survived.
