“Can I Kick Myself in the Head?” – The Worst Decisions Made Right Before Your Eyes — Lifestyle
In this article

The Trick

The Trick
A clumsy skateboarder at the park bet someone he could pull off a trick. He sped up the halfpipe wall and landed on an uneven surface with his backside, severely injuring his insides. Since then, at just 16 years old, he’s had to wear a colostomy bag.

Spicy

Spicy
At a party, a guy claimed pepper spray wasn’t as painful as people say. When someone pulled out a can, he decided to prove it by spraying himself right in the face from just inches away. We all held our breath watching him scream—then burst out laughing.

Bam! Right in the Head

Bam! Right in the Head
“Can I kick myself in the head?” my little brother asked. He did—and nailed it. His nose has been crooked ever since.

Fun Times

Fun Times
My friend, completely drunk, insisted we try the penis ring he bought. I was hesitant, but he was determined. He barely managed to put it on, then fell asleep right after sex. I didn’t realize he hadn’t taken it off. The next day, his penis was swollen and covered in purple veins. The doctor said it had been constricted too long and he might face erectile issues for life. He’s only 23.

Fight

Fight
Two friends started fighting, and when a girl stepped in to stop them, one punch accidentally hit her eye. She was so unlucky that she’s now practically blind in that eye—she can only see stronger light, nothing else.

Prophecy

Prophecy
A coworker read her horoscope at lunch and decided she had to sell her house based on it. We tried to talk her out of it, but within six weeks she sold her newly renovated home. Three years later, the money sits untouched in her bank account—while the house is now worth twice as much.

Dive

Dive
On a guided hike abroad, we found a spring at the mountain top. The water looked crystal clear and inviting, but the guide and signs warned against swimming. Still, a young Italian guy stripped and jumped in. The water only looked calm—it wasn’t, and with nothing to hold onto, he disappeared off the cliff. His body was found two days later.

Double Trouble

Double Trouble
My buddy asked a girl out right in front of me—only because she was the only one who replied on the dating app. That was mistake number one. The second was proposing to that “witch” on his birthday because he was tired of her nagging. The wedding’s in three months.

The Powder

The Powder
At a house party when we were 17, the host offered my girlfriend and me cocaine on a small plate. I said no; she tried it. It hooked her hard and started a downhill spiral. Now, at 35, she weighs just 45 kg (99 lbs) and relies on her body to support her addiction.

Ink

Ink
My sister tattooed her boyfriend’s name on herself right in front of me—I couldn’t talk her out of it. Two months later, he cheated on her with her best friend.
