Typos are the bane of everyone who writes programs in just about any scripting language.

This is one reason I really like compiled languages.  The compiler yells at you instead of your program silently continuing on to do who knows what instead of what you wanted because you swapped letters in a variable name somewhere.

IDE goes "Hey, fucktard, this one doesn't match! Fix it!" I like IDEs. I think.

[olemars]

It's quite possible to make a typo that does match. Now that's the kind of bug that's fun to track down.

[MaximumZero]

Well, as long as you're consistent.

And that is why i really didn't like writing in Assembler. One unseen typo cost me many hours of anger and rage trying to figure it out, because a PIC processor can't do much to tell you what's wrong. The fact that the programming itself is unintuitive doesn't help at all (BTFSS and BTFSC, good luck figuring them out, i sure as hell didn't have).

Also, speaking of electronics, i once managed to completely mirror an electronics board when fabricating it. It was also my exam project. That i passed that exam was a goddamn miracle i tell you.

Using = instead of == in a comparison statement is always fun. Most modern IDEs track that one now, thank whatever.

We still doing stupid? Because I tried to backflip into a pool from a roof. It was my first time being drunk. I head-slammed the gutter and rolled off onto the concrete poolside eight feet down. My finest moment in life.

I'm not going to lie...
Reading that made me wince.

Ouch.

Hmmm, I've done some pretty stupid shit. Especially considering I've only been alive for under 15 years.

So, it was a windy day and I was flying a kite. Suddenly the wind dropped and it fell out of the sky, somehow managing to tangle the cord on the way down. To fix this, I jumped onto the trampoline. My reasoning for this was that it had a nice net around it, preventing the kite from flying away. A few minutes later I was almost done untangling the string and I noticed the wind was picking back up. Suddenly the entire trampoline lurched and began to tilt. Luckily I missed the sides as it flew through the air, preventing me from being crushed as it hit the ground again. I flipped out of the trampoline, hit hard dirt from about 20 feet, then a metal pole missed my head by a foot. I managed to limp away from it with a skinned elbow and a sore knee. The trampoline was wrecked and required several replacement legs. We anchored the trampoline to the ground after that. Probably not so stupid, but more really freaking bad luck.

This just in: Went to the kitchen to get a knife to cut out a rotten chunk from a plum, grabbed the knife, fumbled, stabbed myself in the stomach. Somehow I managed to not only not penetrate my shirt, but I'm not even bleeding, and I now have a horizontal 3-inch line right above my bellybutton. How the hell have I survived to my age being so clumsy.

MAGIC!

...and of course anti-biotics.

And vitamin gg.

Speaking of stupid stuff we did when we were younger, I recall running down a set of slippery wooden stairs in my neighbor's house. It did not end well, and I bled all over, also having a gaping hole of a wound. To be honest, I never felt any pain from it, just the warmth of my own blood.

Pure luck.

Still not as bad as the time I tripped on a box of Lego's and stabbed myself in the leg with a pair of scissors, down to the handles. That was quite !FUN!
