re: Stupid things you did as a kid/adult

Camping at Toledo as a teenager with my brother and dad. We left the bank one afternoon to bait the trot lines and my dad asked "Got plenty of gas, son?" My brother's answer: "yes sir".
On the way back in the motor sputtered and died. . . out of gas. "I thought we had plenty of gas??!!" dad yelled.

When another boat came up the channel he waved him over and asked for a ride back to the landing. As my dad climbed over in his boat, he kicked our little jon boat sideways and said "good luck!", then turned to the driver and said "Let's go!" The stranger and my dad sped off and left us there staring at each other. Two hours later he came back with some gas.

Always made sure we had a full tank after that.
