Just started high school chemistry at around 14 years old....Had this
fungus looking mark about the size of quarter on my arm that none of
the doctor prescribed ointments could get rid of....Decided to steal
some HCL from the chemistry lab one day and dabbed some on the spot
that night....It started burning like hell and large pink craters
started forming on my skin....Rushed to the bathroom and flooded it
with water....Well, the good news is that the fungus went away for good
and the bad news is that I have the scars to this very day.

That episode is in the top five of the dumbest things I ever did as a
kid.
