That’ll Teach You…….

Post by flatlander13 » Fri Mar 11, 2011 11:58 am

This is a place where you can tell us of STUPID things that you or others you know have done; where there was a lesson learned…….or not………..

I’ll go first…….

(Please know that my nephew I’m writing about was allowed to only spend one night at home by himself before he went off to college at the age of 18. That one night he was at home alone……he had a party, put the pictures on Facebook and got in trouble from his parents, who are also Facebook friends of his…..)

My nephew was partying with his friends in their dorm room. Said nephew is 18 years old, 5’4’ tall and weighs 110 lbs. He said, “I drank what I normally drink.â€
How do I get a hold of you?

You just contact the mayor's office. He has a special signal he shines in the sky; it's in the shape of a giant cock.

lol When I was in jr. high I had the bright idea that it would be a kick to get drunk before school. So I siphoned some of the parentals vodka into a peanut butter jar and took it to school. Being the experienced drinker that I was (not) i drank probably what was about 6-7 shots right before the first bell rang. I made it okay through the first class but by the time the bell rang I was fucked up pretty good. I was taken to the nurses where I had to lay down until my mom came to get me...to get out of being in to much trouble I told her I was just acting out because of their divorce 2 years earlier. It worked, ah what a good little liar I was...

Lesson learned: Don't get drunk before school

I was 23 and drunk.Me and my girl at the time had pulled over to the side of the road for a quickie.In mid session, we think we hear a car coming so we both jump into my car,NAKED. We drive off and i hit a corner to fast and flip the car.
We were both uninjured, and were able to crawl out of the car. Then we see headlights coming towards us, so we dicide to hide in a bush, on the side of the road. The car stops and we both come out from hiding, BUTT NAKED.

When we were kids, me and my sister would turn the lawn sprinkler on and run through it in the summer. When I was around 6ish, my sister was was around 8, she was sick but we wanted to run through the sprinkler. Mom says, "Your sister can't go outside and run through the sprinkler". So I brought the sprinkler in the house.


When I was in 7th grade, I spray painted my metal shop teacher in the face with black spray paint.

I was hauling an empty trailer on hwy 12, just before I-80 in Fairfield. I was headed down hill, when a lady pulled off the road ahead of me. She was yakking on her cell phone, and pulled back onto the road to head back to Napa. She did this as I was about 100 feet away. I slammed on my brakes, and she stopped for some reason. I could feel the tractor/trailer twisting, looking in my side mirror, I saw the side of my trailer. At the last second, she went into the opposite lane, missing my tractor. I let off the brakes and hit the accelerator to straighten my trailer. I watched in my mirror, as she missed my trailer by inches, and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.

When we were still living in Pennsylvania, I was returning to Reading from Harrisburg with an empty 45' dry van driving a single drive International tractor. Had freezing rain on the trip to Harrisburg but the temps were rising. The road looked mostly wet so I sped up. I was goin good but all of a sudden the back of the tractor tried to pass me on the right. I let off the accelerator and pushed the clutch in and it straightened out.
Since I started working for the DOT in Nevada, I learned quickly my first winter that there could be several degrees differance between the air temp and the road temp and concrete surfaces usually freeze before asphalt. Something to keep in mind.

I was the oldest of 8 kids growing up and whenever our parents went out anywhere I had to babysit my siblings. As soon as the car drove off, the younger boys would start in on me with their crap. It usually takes a whole lot to piss me off to the point where I snap and become a psycho, but it happens sometimes. Anyhow, parents had gone out to dinner, my brothers were being little pricks as usual. I was 12, David was 9. He had just come out of the shower, was headed to his bedroom, wrapped with only a towel around his waist. Quickly, I grabbed him, threw him out the front door onto the porch (in the snow), yanked his towel off, slammed the door shut, locked it real fast-like, then turned on the porch light. I don't know how long I left him out there. Probably not long. That'll teach ya.


I'm sorry, brother Dave.
