What is the craziest most absurd thing you have ever done ?

What is the craziest most absurd thing you have ever done ? (or one of them if you are a frequently crazy person )

We live in a cul de sac that joins a very busy main road. There are no traffic lights near to where we join the road, and sometimes we can wait for ages and ages and ages before someone might have the decency to let us out.

One day ( I guess I must have been a bit stressed), Marie was driving, waiting patiently for someone to let us out. No one did. I am sure we were there for at least five minutes, constatly trying to edge out onto the road, and then reversing rather quickly as cars were apparently not going to stop, to let us out.

I got out of the front passenger side (one of our sons was in the back), closed the door, walked straight out in the middle of the road, and put up a hand to stop the traffic.

Every car stopped, I calmly waved Marie out onto the main road, and the traffic resumed it's busy pace. I think my ears are still ringing from the admonishments I got when I got back in the car..... I think the word 'lunatic' was repeated a few times.....

This is from when I was about 25. I lived in North Carolina for about 2 years not too far from the coast. My ex wife's brother came to live with us for a few months and he and I would sometimes drive out to the beaches and go bar hopping.On this particular day the bars were shut down because of a powerful hurricane passing by. We decide it would be fun to drive out there and watch the hurricane waves at the beach (with a couple of bottles of our favorite poison). These beaches have boardwalks that extend about 75 yards (I would guess) staight out onto the water supported by thick wooden pylons.

Well , we got bored and drunk and decided we would go out to the end of one of these.

Bad move.

It was only raining lightly as we started out onto the seemingly unmovable stuctures and the wind and sea were quite impressive to behold.About half way out the wind and rain stated to pick up but we thought we would just go to the end and go back to the car. The rocking began then and it got tough to keep our balance as the platform started to rock back and forth, we hadn't even gotten to the end yet and we had to grab onto the side railings or be blown off the side. I don't know exactly how long we had to stay like that but it was at least half an hour or so before it slowed enough for us to make our way back clutching anything we could to get away.

We got back to the car (drenched) and wisely decided to head home and never do that again. I'm still not afraid of storms like that but my awe and respect for mother nature were knocked up a few pegs.

I tried pot once (but I didn't inhale)..actually I did but it never did anything for me so I admonished myself for my silliness and never tried it again.

Depends on who you talk to.... Was it climbing the tallest peak in North America? Was it diving to 180+ feet under water? Was it driving across the country (East as well as South) as a single woman by herself hauling horses to pay for the trip? Was it jumping out of an airplane that was in pretty much no danger of dropping from the sky? Was it going into an apartment building fully involved in fire while most everyone else was trying to get out? Was it going into the collapsed trench to attempt the rescue of the worker who didn't assure it was shored up before he went in? Was it figuring out how to get the log that broke my leg off me so I could crawl the 1/4 mile out of the woods to get help.... after I tied up the team of horses that was pulling said log so they wouldn't wander around and get hurt?

OK... so I'm nuts. There's no way I can decide which stunt was the one that classifies me as a whacko. The funny part is, there are folks who do stuff that's whackier than anything I ever did and they're still considered sane
