What's the dumbest thing you've done recently?

Have you done something that was so dumb you can't stop thinking about it? The other day I was cooking and tried out some new items from my refrigerator. There was some onions, squash and an interesting red pepper. I guess my spouse purchased the item, because I didn't recognize it. It look suspiciously like a red bell pepper. So, I cut it open and gave it a sniff. Didn't smell like a red bell pepper. In fact, it didn't have any smell. So, I didn't think anymore about it and cut it up to add to the dish. Then about ten minutes later, my face started burning. I guess that I must have rubbed my face. It felt like the whole nose/mouth area was on fire. I grabbed my Noxzema and smeared it everywhere and the burning went away after about ten minutes. Turns out, the funny looking red bell pepper was actually a red jalapeno pepper. So, I guess the dumbest thing I've done lately was smell a jalapeno. Honestly, I had no idea that's what it was, when I put it that close to my face. But certainly the kind of thing that you only do once in your lifetime.
