*Waiting an extra semester to rush. Had I joined sooner, the brothers would have helped me more quickly fix my GPA problem (WAY too much fun my sophomore year), and I wouldn't have flunked out of school.
*After flunking out of school, deciding to join the Navy to pay to return to school (not that it was bad, but I was away for two years, where I otherwise could have started school again sooner)
*My wife and I finding out "we're pregnant" while still in graduate school, and the worst part of the pregnancy (morning sickness) reaching it's peak during comps!
*Accepting each and every credit card offer I got in the mail during college (took EIGHT years to pay off - oy!)
*Not looking further into who my new neighbors were when we bought our house - now we're in a LONG lawsuit over property rights - LONG story.

Props to you for paying that off, though...not a lot of people do that. I'm really impressed.
To be honest I haven't done anything majorly stupid....but I am always WAY too hard on myself, which is stupid b/c I know I shouldn't be. No one can make me feel as horrible as I can, if that makes any sense. It's definitely tops drinking too much, being overdrawn, or losing a credit card.
- Dated this one loser way too long instead of listening to my friends and dumping him
- Did some work for a client who treated me unprofessionally and tried to stiff me on the bill
- Tried to drive to work the day after a big snowstorm last year, and smashed my car into a guard rail
There are others. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you...
