How stupid can people get ?

A young man was killed after falling onto the subway tracks in New York City while attempting to defecate between train cars on Tuesday.

In a similar accident, a 31-year-old Bronx resident fell to his death from a 6 train while relieving himself between two cars

So!

Have you witnessed any spectacular acts of human stupidity ?

If so, what ? (LCs and tail gateing not included)

Well, one thing I can say for sure. Stupidity, in all its shades and colours is very common.

Sad, tragic and funny at the same time :O(

Abu Dhabi - A murderer described by his lawyer as "the most stupid I have seen in 40 years" faces a long wait before being sentenced, because authorities are struggling to find the relatives of the woman he killed.

The murderer, who worked for a top government official, bludgeoned his girlfriend - the neighbour's maid - to death with a stone in 2010 after she told him she was pregnant by him and threatened to accuse him of rape.

Believing her claims, despite never having had sex with the woman , the cook put her lifeless body in a bathtub and filled it with water before burning the villa down to try to hide the evidence.

But the effort proved unsuccessful. The villa was left in ashes but the bathtub survived, as did the maid's body, preserved beneath the water.

The cook's lawyer, who said his client was the "most stupid murderer I have seen in 40 years", had argued that the attack could not be considered premeditated as it took place in a matter of seconds after the man was provoked.

The cook was arrested after asking his employer to help him flee the country.

His employer reported him to police but offered to pay his legal expenses and blood money, if it was demanded by the maid's family.

Stupidity is a blessing for those who survive and learn from it .As for those who fail to make it; Its just a means to help them cross to the other side.

In the laws of the jungle only the strong survive .

With all due respect ,Is that too harsh a fact ?

What about humans testing if the Gas they release is flammable. Yes, i saw this video once on you tube, where a few kids actually tested that.. Stupid stupid idea, he actually got burnt, as the gas proved to be flammable.

In real life, i was once overtaken by a rally of donkey carts, who were actually racing it. Now these morons had some things known as "Chankana" (Its like a bell) which they were ringing out loud as an alert to get away from the road. It was one big surprise, as i was driving on one of the busiest roads of the city - The Canal (lahore). Crazy stuff!!!

Did anyone see the video of this woman who wet herself and then had a shower in a packed train cabin? Check it out. Really, some people would do anything on purpose, video record it and publish it online to get some fame and money.

Unstrapped children in front seats? How about unstrapped kid on unstrapped father's laps right behind the steering wheel.. A boy was about 3-4 years old, and "father" was showing him different parts on the dash, while "mother" was sitting right beside them on the front passenger seat.. I thought it's only while they were standing on the red lights.. no way.. the car moved on green, and the kid was still somewhere in between father's hands and legs.. shocking..

Don't be well jel CL, virtual dates are lots of fun ;-)

I was sent that on FB Brit. The dress was at £150k last night...The dress isn't worth that much so I can only assume buyers think they'll get a naked chick with it.

last week in London after a night out in Town, was a bit overloaded with all the amber nectar I had consumed during my pub crawl.

The train was a bit slow and the bladder was full and ready to go.

So I thought I make it to the my destination and use the loos there. As it was one of the last trains for the night, my luck the public conveniences were locked.

So had to run around the back of the station making sure no one or train was in sight, and let out the warm liquid into the cold air and I survived another day to tell this story..:)

If people would put the same amount of effort they put into being stupid into being smart, our world would be a better place.

Driver reading the newspaper while driving and can't see out the window, swerving all over the road with two small children standing on the back seat. What stunned me more was that a person of that intellect could actually read. Maybe he was just looking at the pictures.

Driving directly over a roundabout instead of going around like everyone else.

Stopping in the middle lane of a three-lane round about to have a chat to his mate who was parked in the outside lane. Caused an accident and just kept chatting!

Giving a 5-year-old a quad bike to let loose in the desert, kid rolling it on the first turn splitting his head open because he had no helmet.

It's no wonder that they have had to build that Sidra hospital, to accommodate all the idiots and those that the idiots have maimed or killed.

there is an international price for these fatal incidents: the infamous "Darwin Award" awarded posthumously to the most foolish way to die.

- last year was awarded for a bunji jumper who used octopus tentacles tied together as rope. the problem was not the tentacles: the lengh of the "rope" was longer than the height of the bridge he jumped off!

There's nothing more stupid than people buying expensive cars, and find it difficult to buy a child seat for their little kids...more so letting an infant sit on the lap of the father while he's driving...

A man once tried to check his car's fuel tank at a petrol station by lighting a match, luckily the pump attendant yelled at him not to do so.

:D

Ignorance is not always bliss, I myself have done stupid acts, like as a kid, I once threw water on an electrical wire that caught fire. My father corrected my science sense after that. But still, acts of stupidity are sometimes done in ignorance. May God keep everyone safe.

Have seen one LC driver with one karak chai cup in one hand and in the other hand biting hot porota.

I came closer to have a better look and found his left feet on the dash board searching for something and right feet scratchig the left feet....:(

Many a times, it’s ignorance (looks stupidity for others),

I saw a lady in a SUV, near muntazah health center crossing (before new road setup in those days of traffic snarls) mobile in her left hand, talking loudly, cigarette shifting between right hand & puff, indicator ON right, actually turned left, result was a funny jam.

if it's height of multitasking or stupidity?

Talking about stupidity in trains, I remember watching a video of a man in India who was standing on top of an electric train and got electrocuted when he touched the overhead high tension power cable. Don't know why he touched it..could be intentional or by accident but the way he got burned in seconds was a terrible sight.
