Damn!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Damn!

So, what's the stupidest thing you've ever done, that you regret doing and given the chance would correct?

For example, e-mailing a rant to a colleague about how much you hate your boss and ending up emailing it to your boss by mistake. Though it sounds cliche it allegedly happened to my uncle.

Recant your tales of pure horror and humiliation just for the hell of it and shout (well maybe not shout) "D'oh" with the rest of us. With all this talk of genetics and the like, I feel it is appropriate to say "We're only human!"


I'm not evil, just morally challenged

EDIT: D'oh! Someone already started a thread called "D'oh!" a while back. Thread is renamed "Damn". For all you anti-swear purists, read 'Darn' instead of 'Damn'

That's a good one ff, but one time I came to this place called the Lancers Reactor on the internet, and realised that I could not leave. It was the strangest thing, do any of you have that same thing or something similar?

Well I was in 4th grade and my judgment of things was VERY BAD. Anyways it was Winter and there was a set of bars in front the monkey bars and we were jumping of the bars and grabbing hold of the monkey bars(the side bars of the monkey bars) and swinging on them then jumping down. So I'm like ,to someoen who I kinda hate, bet you can't do this. I jumped but I had mittens on and it made the bars very slippery. I fell on my back right into the woodchips. I had a great pain in my arm. Later it turned out that I broke it. When I was laying on the gorund I was like "OH MAN, I'm stupid".

We go for victory!

Damn! You beat me to it Final!

I can't recall anything off-hand. But then I'm idiosyncratic enough that after doing most of the things I do I feel like yelling "Damn!" anyway .

I think the stupidest thing I have ever done, was join the U.S. military at the age 17. I wasn't even out of school. I was physically and mentally unprepared for Basic Training. That was the most miserable experience of my life.

For example, e-mailing a rant to a colleague about how much you hate your boss and ending up emailing it to your boss by mistake. Though it sounds cliche it allegedly happened to my uncle.


this happened to me about 3 years ago. My ****er of a boss sent an email out to myself and a few colleagues, ordering us to do something we all objected to. He really was Dilbert's pointy haired boss....a complete idiot....and worse, a complete idiot who seemed to enjoy ditching key members of his staff when he was in a bad mood. Now I loved this job, even though the boss was an idiot, and I would have been extremely gutted to lose it for stupid reasons.

But this one day I was still half cut from the night before and not feeling on my best form. So after receiving this **** of an email from him, I sent an email to my colleague (or at least thats what I thought) saying something like...

"What a ****er, who the **** does he think he is? c***."

But just as I clicked send, I realised that hadn't sen the email to my colleague, I had in fact sent it straight back to my boss. I was terror stricken. I got that sinking feeling you only experience as a kid, when you know you've done something really bad and you're gonna get a belt from your parents. Not a nice moment in my life. If this was a movie, the camera would have zoomed quickly in on my terror stricken face

Then a few seconds later, my brain kicked into gear, "wait a sec, my boss isn't in the office, he's on his way back from a meeting and is currently sat on a train, all I have to do is get the sys admin to delete the mail from the mail server before my boss gets back - which gives me about an hour - bargain!"

Just as I thought that, as if by some sick twist of fate, I heard my colleague talking on the phone "yeah ok chris", he was speaking to my boss on his mobile,"I'll do what I can to get you those figures, I'll call you back in 5 minutes after you've downloaded your email".....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This was like a double whammy....I lent across the desk to my colleague who was just putting the phone down...and....errr....well....I squeaked. I meant to talk, but my breath had been ripped from my lungs...and I just let out this breathless pant. My colleague miraculously sensing my anguish - which probably had something to do with seeing me red in the face, panting heavily, frantically leaning across the desk and pointing at the phone - picked up the phone again and said "err...just one other thing chris...about that...errr....spreadsheet". And it was with that that my body kicked into action. I leapt off my chair, skipped over the desk and darted out of the door - the company had two buildings seperated by about 100m of car park and the sys admin was in the other building. I slammed through the front door and put in a respectable 10.5s across the car park before slamming in through the other front door and grabbing the sys admin by the collar. After 30 uncomfortable seconds of panting, wheezing and generally trying to explain the story in as short terms as humanly possible, the sys admin said "oh ok, but the mail server is in the other building". SO, we both slammed through the front door again, put in another very impressive 100m time for 2 mid-twenties smokers and flew into the other building....to find my colleague again just about to put the phone down on the boss...again seeing this spectacle of red-faces, panting, wheezing and sweat he calmly said into the receiver "I know you need to get off to check your mail but just one other thing chris...", which gave my friendly sys admin the time he needed to wipe all recognition of the email from the web server.

And the moral of this story ladies and gentleman is, no matter what job you are in now and in the future, always befriend your company's system administrator, and preferably, always make sure that he always has a constant source for weed

You've got some corking stories Grom, i'm always pissing myself laughing at the end of them.

"always befriend your system admin"

how true, how true. i have a lot of "friends" and get a lot of under-the-counter cash and "gifts," plus I have copies of everyone's "compromising" material on backup, dated/timed
