Stupid things that you have done or that have happened to you

A Bad Demoman: About my fourth week of playing DayZ I found someone's tent up near black lake hidden inside a hill with two satchel charges in it. I promptly took these and I went on my way raiding the north eastern airfield. After finding nothing of interest I thought to myself well since I have these satchel charges maybe I should learn how to use them. So I set one down having only the knowledge that they can be set for 30 seconds and for remote detonation. I scrolled through the options and saw deactivate the bomb, set bomb detonation 30 secs and touch-off bomb(s)(1). Thinking "Oh hey that touch-off option must be to set it for remote detonation," I clicked it and the next thing I know I'm flying one hundred feet into the air in my death pose :facepalm:. Well there's nothing like first hand experience with explosives .

Bike Fail: After dieing to some server hoppers while alt+tabbed out watching a video my friends sent me over mumble I respawned near Electro and made my way to the light house by Cap Golova and found myself a bike. This was the first time I had ever found one as my usual server is a clan server and all the vehicles are probably hoarded off the map being used as tents, thanks disciples of anarchy. Taking it for a spin through Cherno and then back through to Electro attracting a huge train of zombies I notice a crawling one had spawned. I aimed by new bike right for his head and sped up to 45km/h expecting to roll this zombie and as soon as my tire hits his body I bunny hop ten feet into the air, fall back down, fracture my legs and knock over the bike. Meanwhile my zombie train was gaining on me fast so I emptied my entire MP5 clip into the zombie's head for ruining my ride and ran off behind some trees to lose the aggro then rage quit :emptycan: .

Suicidal Hero: After finding my first DMR with my hero skin I thought it would be a great idea to counter sniper the spawn killing d-bags in Cherno and Electro. I logged into a medium pop server and carefully made my way into Cherno managed to not get capped climbing the hospital ladder and sat up there scanning for bandits. After about two minutes I spotted one going towards the industrial area with his SVD Camo clearly going to try and kill fresh spawns. I took aim with my DMR held my breath and took my first shot aiming right for center of mass. Unfortunately I had forgotten how to correctly use the mil-dots and my shot went low and hit his legs, breaking them. The shot didn't knock him out and he managed to see me and took a wild shot at me missing by a few feet so I hit Z to go prone and my character suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Hey I should get a running start on this dive it will be great," and in those 2 seconds of running before my guy actually went prone I made it to the edge of the roof and then went prone diving off the edge and dieing when I hit the ground :rolleyes:. The bandit ran off and lived because after I respawned there weren't any death messages besides mine.

I was driving an ATV on the coast in a convoy with a gaz, UAZ, and ural, and I accidentally drove over a bridge, sending me a kilometer into the air... I landed on the ural and blew us both up, killing the occupants and destroying the gear.

As usual, no pics no truth, but I havn't got any recording software... Damnit.

- Tried to fly a chopper from Petrovka to the NWAF on two jerry cans worth of gas facepalm.jpg

- Tried to kill a guy following me in Elektro with a Satchel Charge and set it off while too close. He was on the other side of a wall, although he was closer when it went off the wall dampened the explosion on him and I got the majority of the blow, we both went unconscious but he woke up before me and killed me. He did get quite a scare though, I laughed the whole time.

- Rode an ATV with a dodgy wheel over train tracks and was vaulted a hundred feet into the air landing in a firey explosion

I feel your pain tjg3ft-etc.

Friend and I decided to play around and fiddle with a zombie corpse in an open field.

We both got murdered.

I can laugh about this though.

Was in a narrow corridor, decided to check behind me for zombies/surivors, and broke my limbs.

Edit: I also tried throwing a glass bottle at a hospital to break its windows. I completely missed the windows, smashing the bottle on the wall and aggroing every nearby zombie.

Threw a grenade in the control tower at nwaf hoping to get it through the front door. Well, I missed and because the animation is so horrible it took me 5 seconds to try and run. Needless to say, I couldn't get behind cover quick enough and died. Luckily it was a low pop server so I ran back and got my gear.

I'm still new so I do plenty of stupid things. :)

My second day in game (which was very recently) I come across a bus parked in the middle of a small town. Fully repaired, not much fuel but enough to get going.

I wait around for five minutes, check the area, sit in the back of the bus for a while, thinking maybe someone just repaired it and I don't want to ruin their day, but eventually I decide to take it for a spin. I'm playing solo, so a bus is a bit overkill for me, but what the heck; I figure I'll go find a jerrycan somewhere, find a place to fuel up, then head to some of the bigger cities to pick up random people and go for a road trip or something.

I almost made it to the next town before I scraped too close to one of those broken down humvees and crashed into the half-open door. Both front wheels out.

I moved on and just left it there for someone with better driving skills to repair it. :)
