We've all made clumsy mistakes that we know could have been avoided had we used a little bit more good judgment and common sense.

Thankfully, these silly mistakes don't usually harm others or ourselves.

This is why it's hard to see people knowingly perform reckless or dangerous activities which they know might have serious consequences.

While we don't usually wish these people ill, we also have a hard time feeling bad for them, as they knew what they were getting themselves in for.

As some people might say, they "f*cked around and found out" or "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."


Redditor dannyboyyboy was curious to hear the worst examples of people making stupid decisions and facing the consequences, leading him to ask:

But if you end up in the ER after being urged not to do something, and well aware of what might happen, don't expect too many flowers...
