What Is The Dumbest Decision You Ever Experienced Someone Make?

After one of my cousins graduated from college (this was about 15 years ago) he started looking for a job. And out of all the jobs available, related to his degree (ISDS) he decides to apply for 1 job. Installing satellites for a cable service.
He gets a call that day from a guy who tells him he needs someone ASAP and that all he has to do is pay $250 for his tools. The jackass went meet with the guy, paid him $250.. In cash.. Two or three days later, after not hearing back from the guy, it was on the news that some guy was running a scam in the Baton Rouge area, in which he was advertising jobs, telling people they have the job and that they have to pay upfront to get tools..
Don't ever accept a job that makes you pay money.. The company should have the tools available for it's employees.

Getting married to the wrong person.
Not all marriages, just some of them.

Worked with a guy who was on the verge of having his truck repossessed. Dude went to the casino (1st bad decision), won like $6k, then, on the way back home from the casino saw two jet skis for sale and bought them with his winnings rather than pay for his truck that he needed to tow said jet skis.

and as always, you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Tons of jobs in the oil and gas industry require people to buy their own tools

My older brother did a lot of stupid "jackass" type of stuff when we were kids. Not really stupid made up stuff for a show stuff, but just didnt think things thru.
Learned a lot of "what not to do" from him, and I think made me better in assessing a situation prior. Ha.
Thank God he survived, and the most long term damage was busting his 2 front teeth out in a game of sidewalk big-wheel chicken with a buddy.

This. My wife and I were close friends with another couple in college. They were together for a long time but were having problems before the wedding. The bride wanted to call it off but didn’t want to since everything was already planned.
Their marriaged lasted 17 days

To top it off, he was telling us about it at work and one of the other guys said "Man, that's gonna frick your credit up". To which he says "Man, my credit's been fricked up for 20 years"

True, but at least acknowledge there is a reason why instead of posting this in each one of his threads.
