What was the dumbest you had ever done as a brony?

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,291]

Worrying about premieres and finales to the point of extreme anxiety. Those episodes are when major things can happen and bring about changes or additions to the show. I was always worried about this stuff after season 3. I still do have some of that worry in my mind, but it is not as bad as, for example, when the details for the season 5 finale were leaked. I was stressed for months over it, then it actually aired and my worry was not really justified in the end.

Think going on an mlp based website before catching up is a good idea.

[Hierok 11,829]

Watching mlp while I needed to sleep for important schoolexam. 

[Yamato 1,347]

Becoming one. Really just an awful idea...

[Concerned Bystander 2,901]

I'm not sure about the dumbest, but the smartest is probably making no attempt to count up the money I've spent on MLP merch.

Follow the crowd with with the fandom thought and liked.

[Jeric 46,835]

When a thread like this happens that forces me to not be honest so I come up with a fall back. 

I spent too much on merch.

Getting excited for Newbie Dash

Taking pics of my two first toys: Playskool Minty and Moondancer at Niagara Falls in plain sight of my family for the next Ponies Around the World at Equestria Daily . My brother and mother discovered me, and told them that I've just found them around, probably forgotten by a child, when I've actually bought them at the now defunct Times Square Toys R' Us days before

Treating the show like it's a guilty pleasure no one should know that I enjoy. Though that has been resolved lately.

[Snow Frostflame 3,567]

Okay, I've never said this to anybody and pretty much everyone involved in my recording group has forgotten about this... this still makes me cringe to this day. Waaay back then... I think 2012 I had a hatred towards cloppers, but because of a piece of fan art I misinterpreted I thought cloppers were called bronies... yeah that went on for a good... I'd say 5 months or so... believe me I felt like an idiot when I discovered what they were actually called. Also if you're wondering no I don't hate cloppers anymore.

Reading this thread...

just kidding! Anything... yet 

[Foxy Socks 2,596]

I am surprised I can't come up with much. Maybe making the terrible fanfic I made with a shameless OC x Canon part for the Summer fanfic contest.

[FluffyGoat13 375]

Let's see:

• The amount of times I've said Manehattan.
• Saying sweet Celestia several times at a catholic school. The amount of saving that took... (honestly, letting them know I was a brony or what one is would be worse than unintentionally slandering the pope (which I had done many times, I'm an intelligent idiot)).

But most importantly: that one time I got a little drunk and started singing the show's theme at ~02:00 AM in the rougher part of my hometown after me and my friends rather kindly escorted two very drunk girls home because my drunk friend (direct quote) "Don't want them to get stabbed or worse... like unwanted baby worse... because *burp* that one has nice glasses".

Same.  

The only other thing I can think of is:

Caring about other people's opinion's on episode's & character's & letting that influence my enjoyment of the show.

I don't know if this could be considered "dumb", but anyways:

I was talking once with other bronies in a Whatsapp group. I don't remember exactly about we were talking about, but I decided to upload this picture:

Then, without noticing, I uploaded it in other Whatsapp group (classroom mates group). I tried to erase the pic, but some minutes later one of my classroom mates said: "(My name), you like the pony's butt". I responded: "mmmhhh, noooo..." and he responded: "Well, to me looks very sexy" xD

It was quite funny, seeing it in hindsight.

That's an easy one: keeping my interest in MLP a secret at all costs for over two months (three if you count the first time I watched an episode).

Well I'm doing the exact same as you except I've managed to keep it a secret for around three years now! Or ad least since mid 2014. Anyways the dumbest thing I did was leaving an MLP related tab open on my IPad during school as it almost got me found out that I was secretly a brony.

Regularly driving 200+ mile round trips from northern Colorado to Colorado Springs in the middle of the state for a meetup and episode screening and not getting back until 4 or 5 AM when I have class/work at 8 AM.

I did it until yesterday too. Then I finally had enough. I used to scroll past all pony pictures as quickly as I could whenever I was visiting MLP sites (and feared someone would see), had extra windows ready to switch to, paused whenever I heard some noise... I found my own behavior completely ridiculous! I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping one's bronyhood a secret, but having to resort to the measures I mentioned before was a bit over the top.

Yeah for me I've been pretty much forced to keep my brony life a secret because of how I know my parents would panic over it. Plus I'm not even ment to be on MLP forums because of my parents rules of no social media accounts. It's actually because my parents are quite overprotective over me and my identity plus they are extremely paranoid over the bad people on the internet like the child predators, sex offenders and people who fake their online identity to meet up and assault young people.

The dumbest thing I've ever down was making my own OC an alicorn. They weren't royalty or anypony really important, and their hair was rainbow and white (hot pink-white-orange-white-yellow-white-lime green-white-blue-white-purple) and their coat was light pink with light blue eyes, oh it was just so mary-sue. I don't even remember their cutie mark, I don't even think they had a cutie mark because "my style of ponies don't have cutie marks" hmm...yeah right...

I actually think before that I had an OC who was "the long-lost twin sister of Vinyl Scratch" and they were basically a recolor of Vinyl but a pegasus with hot pink hair and blue eyes.

[LovieHats 4]

My old DeviantArt account. It was filled with poorly drawn (and made) OCs and lies. So many lies...

[Moony the Cat 3,697]

The dumbest thing i ever did as a Brony was becoming a Troll. Like i posted very stupid Videos and which i said that Mlp is better than anything and similar bad stuff like that.

Thankfully i stopped and deleted everything.
