Boba Rhett Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 This is a thread were anyone can post a link or a story about someone doing something incredibly stupid. Here's one to start it off. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/2617916.htm ....."It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others." How does this person even remember to breathe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Influenza Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 Here's a story. There once was a student in college studying computer science. His assignment was to program the game Othello. Part of his task was to save the state of the game to a binary file. First he had to save whose turn it was; except he saved it as a 4-byte integer instead of a 1-byte unsigned character. Which threw off his entire read function and caused him to spend 3 days trying to figure out what went wrong in the read function. Which made his project very late. Pretty dumb, huh?

Boba Rhett Posted February 10, 2002 Author Share Posted February 10, 2002 That could happen to the best of us. It certainly did take him a long time to find the problem though. Here are two more award winners: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-1108476/reviews.php?critic=columns&sortby=default&page=4&rid=274050 http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-1108476/reviews.php?critic=columns&sortby=default&page=1&rid=272489 Somebody hunt these two guys down.

Guest SlashAndBurn Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 Heres one. When I was in high school i worked at McDonnalds. Anyone that has worked with handling shipments to and from busineses know that when the boxes of whatever come in there is a date stamp on them representing when they lefet so-and-so warehouse. One day this woman(about 25 yrs old) was out in the back throwing a bunch of boxes in the trash compactor...we go out and see what shes doing and she says.... "I'm throwing out these boxes of napkins...they expired 2 weeks ago." Another note to this story...she has 4 kids and home schools them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
