Thread: Have you ever made a mistake like this

Had one I will never forget when I was around 17. I stupidly accepted a dare from a couple of companions to treck back to a hut we were staying in, with nothing on but my boots rifle and beany.
We were enjoying a hot pool during a snow storm. It was a 10 minute skip thru the bush back to the hut.
Thinking anyone would be crazy to make the 6 hr jaunt to the hut from the rd end in the storm, I stripped off and started up the track.
I made good time to the edge of the clearing the hut was in. After a quick visual scan I was sure I spyed some colour coming from track in the opposite direction and across the clearing that contained the hut. I thought we were going to have company so I started to run toward the hut.
It was a 100yd dash to the hut which I no doubt made in record time, but I failed to see the 2 new brightly coloured tents beside it.
I heard 2 mates that were left in the hut as I approached, roaring with laughter as they must have seen the nude retard flying across the clearing towards the hut. I proudly burst through the hut door exposing nothing but flesh.
Too my horror or maybe more so theirs were 2 of the hottest female trampers I have seen to this day trying to enjoy at hot brew. Our eyes met and they just about fell off their seats laughing. Ego deflated, I slammed the door as quick as I opened it and took off back outside.
My other 2 mates that were at the hot pools with me, picked themselves up out of the snow after they had their crack up, tore past me with my clothes they carried back to the hut.
The pricks left me outside without my gear, they were not going to bring any clothing out for me, so in the end I had to swallow my pride and enter the hut again to get some clothing.
Neither of the 2 girls looked me in the eye all night and when any conversation drifted my way it was drowned out by bursts of uncontrollable laughter. Bloody embarrassing for a young fella.
The story somewhat embellished has followed me around for years.
