I had a perm (oh, I'm dating myself, LOLOL) and couldn't blow dry it, instead I scrunched it with gel and walked to school with it still wet. It was frozen solid by the time I got to school. 
That's not the dumbest thing I did as a teen though. Boots were every bit as unacceptable as hats. So I wore pointy flat shoes. Barefoot, because socks were for losers. One day, I walked in mild temperatures to the hockey arena to watch some local hockey games. Sat in the arena for several hours, my feet freezing and going numb. Finally, at 11 pm or so, my friend and I decided to walk home since we couldn't find a ride. It was normally a 20 minute walk but this night it took us 40 minutes. When we opened the doors to the outside, we were shocked that not only had a blizzard started, but the temperatures had dropped about 20 degrees Celcius. The windchill was crazy. About a quarter of the way home I realized I couldn't feel my feet at ALL and started stumbling. So did my friend. We, being stupid teens, thought it was funny. However, then everything started to hurt. Badly. By the time I was home, I couldn't feel from my knees down and had to look where I was putting my feet because I couldn't tell. As my legs and feet warmed up, they hurt so bad I started crying. They swelled right up. I had to take painkillers to get through the night. My friend's feet had a few blisters. We spent the weekend nursing our sore, swollen feet. Since then, my feet are ultra sensitive to the cold. I regret that decision that day to wear bare feet in flats. WTF was I thinking?
