Have you done such a fool thing?

Some years ago I took a summer course in another part of the country. The students lived at the school during the course, and the first day I left my luggage in the room and started and exploring the area around the school. There was a big garden with different kinds of sculptures and other things. One of the things in the garden was a very tall tower. There was a kind of staircase from the ground to the top of the tower, but the steps were very extremely narrow and their was no railing. I thought: "There must be a great view from the top of the tower" and I decided to climb all the way to the top of the tower. I got to the top of the tower without problems but when I had to climb down I suddenly got very scared and afraid of falling down because of the very narrow steps and because there was no railing. I climbed down very slowly and I got safely back to the ground, but I felt shocked when I got down because I knew that I could have broken my neck if I had fallen down from the staircase Later that day I returned to my room and I started reading the practical information about the school. The tower was mentioned in the small book about the school and it said in the book: "It is extremely important that you don't attempt to climb the tower on your own. Contact the staff of school if you wish to climb the tower" Oops...I suddenly realized that I did something very dangerous because I didn't read the information first. I learned my lesson, and today I read the information first

This usually happen to children, which is why the label 'keep out of reach'. Anyway, I was a silly kid too. There was once I drank the entire bottle of cough syrup because it tasted sweet. Luckily it was children's cough syrup, so I ended up sleeping the whole day. Another time I tried to imitate our house maid testing the iron when she wanted to do ironing. I burnt my hand, luckily it was not too serious. Now I know the way she tested the iron is wrong. Instead of putting the hand to test the heat, we should just start ironing to see if it's been heated up.

I had same experience, but it was not intentionally. I just thought I can swallow the tablet - it's not too big anyway, but I really hate taking meds. So, it is always hard for me to swallow tablets or capsules. Then, thinking it is the last med for my one week medication- I took the pill, put into my mouth and gulp a glass of water. Then I felt the pill stuck in my throat- and I feel like the earth stopped moving (lols) The last thing I remember is- someone give me a hard pat on my back and there the pill flew in the air

Hi, Sometimes I swallow pills without water whether it is big or small. But now after reading your experience I think that I should take pills with water otherwise I may have to suffer like you. We make such mistakes sometimes. But they are very memorable. Once I forget to take the keys and latch is locked. I couldn't open the door. I have to cut the door and opened the latch. Such fool things happened in our life.

When I was young I jumped off my mother's sewing machine. Landed...on my head. Very painful and head swelled but luckily I survived. Maybe my brain never really recovered though:)

I never had such an experience with pills. My throat is big enough to swallow all types of pills.
