I'll just say this: he kicked a gate thinking nobody was home and ended up getting scolded and fined

I worked in a grocery store deli that made sandwiches, and we'd precut meat "kits" for the popular sandwiches to save time during the lunch rush (like Cuban, Italian, etc). We'd slice them for whole sub sandwiches, and then if someone ordered a half sub, we'd just cut the kits in half and put the other half back in the drawer.

One day, a girl I'll call "Becky" was working the sandwich counter, and someone ordered a whole Italian sub. There were no whole Italian kits in the drawer, but there were two presliced halves.

It took like three people to explain to Becky how to solve this problem, and even then I'm not sure she ever fully understood.

Trying to make excuses for Elon's double Nazi salut. It was a family member.

Watched a guy hold a butt joint, missed, and shot a nail through his finger. A couple of days later, he was showing his buddy what he did and he nailed a different finger on the same hand during the demonstration. Same guy during the same summer got really drunk and fell down a flight of stairs. I was pretty convinced he was hurt/dead, but he got up, held up his half full beer, chugged it, did a righteous metal scream, and proceeded to fall down the next flight of stairs. Thank god he only had two flights of stairs between him and the ground or he probably would've done it until he got all the way to the bottom.

He still is the most impressively stupid guy I've ever met. I think about him frequently.
