crazy/dumb things you did in childhood/teenage years

[Ramrod]

My friend from grade school who I skated with and lived around the corner from called me one day and said he found an abandoned car, and we should check it out. So I rode my bike down the road and saw him standing outside of the junkyard next to this car. In our young minds we saw a car, a junkyard, nobody in the car, so it seemed like a perfectly reasonable time to smash the windows. We broke the back window with a brick and found the car jack inside, threw that through the windshield for about an hour, stomp on the hood, ripped off the mirrors. All the while cars were driving by and looking at us. It didn't occur to me until about 4 years later that we just got lucky and smashed up some car on the side of the road. Lucky for us?  cop didn't drive by haha

Dude I once did that.. cept the car was in a shopping center.. broad daylight out.. and there was me and 4 other little bad ass black kids (we were all around 8-10).  I remember a car pulled up and this guy was taking notes while i was standing on the hood desprately trying to smash the front windshield with a huge ass rock.  We all took off and changed clothes and went to my house lol.
I once put 2 wires together from an old raggedy AC unit in my apts..  huge spark blew up in my face and i flipped shit
I used to put a sock on my cats head and watch him walk backwards and get mad at me
I used to fall off of my stairs face first and get up and do it repetidly (it was like 3 stairs but still pretty damn high for a fall"
I used mix weird shit and eat and drink it.. milk and koolaid.. milk and tea.. weird shit idk haha
Dingdong ditching.. throwing shit at cars.. and cursing out adults we didnt know was a way of life
and I cant forget stealing mad booster packs of pokemon cards from 7-11.. AND STILL NOT HAVING NEARLY AS MANY GOOD CARDS AS MY FRIENDS?!?!? WTF

lol ding dong ditch was our shit back in the day,
i stole this kid's whole shoe box of pokemon cards and then we i realized they sucked i threw them away
me and my brother would get a sleeping bag and pack it with blankets and pillows and we would crawl inside and go  rolldown the stairs in our house, i never realized how bad we could of got hurt
i spit in this girl's face in 3rd grade on the bus when she said that i was mexican, i was eating popcorn too so little pieces got on her face

[ice nine]

Haha this reminded me of a game me and my sister would play. We would sit in a plastic laundry basket and slide down the staircase on it. We did this a lot but one day I tried to go down backwards and after sliding down two steps the basket caught and I fell straight to the bottom, hit my head, and lost consciousness. I was actually psyched when I came to, I thought it was all epic, but I was only out for a few seconds and my sister didn't even realize how awesome it was.

haha i did the exact same thing with my sister, carpeted stairs to the concrete basement. i also remember stacking blankets on the ground and doing front flips off my bed onto the stack of blankets on the floor. super sketchy now that i think about it, i had this thick, tough carpet that wasn't cushioned at all, if i managed to miss the blankets, i'd have been fucked. also on the topic of flips and shit, i remember in third grade the cool thing to do was to do flips off all the different spots on the playground, kind of like skating. only the craziest kids would do it off the top of the chin-up bar. i went back in like 7th grade and tried to front flip off one of the bars for nostalgic purposes and landed flat on my ass, shit was sore for like a week straight.

[324]

Backflips off the swing was the bee's knees. It evolved into running and diving under people swinging.

^ after doing the former, the swing came back down and smacked me in the back of the head.

I used to play this game when I was little, except it wasn't voluntary. Older Donkey Lips would stuff me into a sleeping bag and hurl me down the stairs like a garbage bag (not entirely false). Broken ribs galore.

When I was 17 I was sponsored by this little shitty shop in Maryland and me and a bunch of homies drove up to NYC to skate.  There must've been about 11-12 of us and we got into this parking garage that was super tall, it must've been between 6-8 stories it seems like.  Anyways, one of my friends just threw a full unopened gallon of water off the roof and it hit this parked limo.  He swore he made sure no one was driving or walking (yeah, right) but he dented the shit out of the hood of that limo.  I remember being so worried about being caught on film that I couldn't skate the rest of the day.

I also just thought about how when I was 14 I had ZERO concept of alcohol tolerance.  The amount of shit I drank in such a tiny amount of time was stupid.  The amount of dumb shit I did while wasted was even more stupid.  I remember seeing Sean Young bomb that crazy ass hill in the rain and then attempting to bomb one while just smashed to much worse result.  Going to random house parties of people we didn't know and seeing if we could steal something from the house, like a photo or silverware (imagine waking up to no forks in your house).  Just stupid shit.

one time i was skating with like ten friends and one of them set this dry field on fire. he just sparked one little weed but it grew to a huge fire. the police and fire department were all over the area. i was super sketched out that someone saw us up there when the fire started and tipped off the police about my license plate number when we left. ruined the whole rest of the day for me, even though everyone else was just laughing it off and having a good time all carefree and shit.

[trillmatic]

yo whattup i've been lurking for mad long but this thread is too good, definitely wanted to get in on this.

lived in an apt complex all through elementary and middle school, my friends and i would stay pulling the power supply switches in the laundry rooms that would shut down the entire building and then wait for people to come out and turn it back on. would run through and do this to multiple buildings in an evening.

when even younger we'd also run around with sticks and smash the little lamps next to the front doors.

would hide behind the dumpster/recycling area and wait for the bus (public, not school) to come through and then bombard it with rocks and crab apples, spray painted the back a few times.

would steal 12 packs of pepsi from out front of cumberland farms then hide behind this fence and huck them at cars in the middle of the night, also place large objects such as chairs, desks, trash cans, wooden pallets, etc in the middle of the road as a barricade kind of and wait for cars to smash into them or have to get out and move em. got a cop with the pallets once.

funny thing is that it all started from ding dong ditching..

when we were able to drive we started egging pedestrians from the car, actually went through a phase of drawing huge dicks and shit on hummers when hummers first got big. magnum 44 sharpies. regular thing is that we'd drive off and half the time we'd come back a little while later in hopes we'd get to watch the person come out of the store or whatever and see their reaction to their dicked up hummer. got to see that once. lucky we never got caught.

probably way more shit to list that i can't think of right now but i figured i'd share


 

[alcoskate]

I was skateboarding my freinds quarter pipe than i seen uh frog went on top of the quarter pipe and threw/ slammed the frog to the ground.  tryin to impress my friend he didnt even say a thing. i than flet bad and have only killed 2 frogs. i have to spit in a girls face while she was sleeping cause i liked her.   And a bunch of us threw grapes and eggs hit this car he stops and trying to see but cant gets out of his car and we took off in the trailer park and next thing we see is him drovin rite to us and we were playing basketball out in front and he goes um you see any damn kids running they hit my car with grapes and eggs and coruse were like no ha. Later that nite we got caught but we hit a freind of the familys car at night and only had to wash his car and pay for a new windsheild

same here. ouchies.
the same year - i was 8 - i found a pickaxe in the garden shed of our new place, but the shed was super old and felt deserted (we lived in a weird home that even had a basement dungeon that we never touched, that place was SO scary to me at the time). seeing a pickaxe and an old garden shed, i could only do one thing. invite my sister down and make her watch me bust out all the tiny windows and just fuck things up. i'm a tiny little 8 year old wielding this huge thing, breaking shit.
my dad had never been so angry- and that's something for a person with anger management issues. i ruined his garden shed and could have really, really hurt myself.

[In Lieu]

we tried to convince our best friends girlfriend that he was stuck down a well when we were like 15, but made a point of texting every word as if they were echoing in the well. i think we also wrote that he'd "tried squawking so the birds would come get me" but i'm not sure if she fell for that too. i think she called the authorities. not even that crazy, but it was pretty funny.

[popeyesfriedchicken]

at the age of barely two or whenever i could start talking i was in the hospital waiting room with my father.  he still thinks this was the most awkward moment of his life.  there was a black family next to us and i asked my dad in front of the father "can i go play with the monkeys?".  my dad said the father of the black family looked like he wanted to kill him.  they just looked like monkeys to me, i was only two.

in high school i always had to take the biggest shit routinely in programming class every day because it was right after lunch and we always had shit fattening food.  i kept taking a shit on the floor in the stall but the janitor would always clean it up before class change.  one day i finally got lucky and the bathroom was packed with tons of kids laughing their asses off during the change.  the next morning on the morning announcements the principal told "whoever was defecating on the floor of the men's restroom to please desist."  i only told two or three other people, they never found out who did it, and that was probably the dumbest thing ever.   

[alcoskate]

We were on break from doing roofing .and just siting around and the home owners come out with a pitcher of orange juice. me and my friend drink 90% of it and than i pissed in the pitcher than another worker comes and drinks the piss and goes thats some good orange juice.   

[VictoriousOG]

2 yrs ago I did the one of the stupidest ding dong ditches ever. A friend insisted we ding dong ditch this guys house in a completely different neighborhood for some reason at midnight. The walk is about 10 minutes and we get to the guys house. (Picture attached). My friend says there's nothing to worry about because he only had a small dog, (He had rang this guys house before). But my friend is a person and wants us to hide in the bushes and watch him for some reason, I don't know why. So I lay down on this hill watching him ring the house. He runs back and goes behind the pool. I'm looking for the guy to come out and 2 minutes or so pass and I look up and see him no more than 20ft from me with this massive German Shepard. The dog is smelling the grass and I just jumped up and booked it through the alley. I run through the streets and see the guy release his dog. I run out of the neighborhood into this main street and hop the fence into this cemetery to cut back into the neighborhood. Now, I'm walking my way back home, but I don't take the risk of being caught, so I have to hide from every car/person I see. I don't have a phone on me to contact my friend, so we're completely split. After an hour of running/hiding I finally make it home and my friend arrives 10 minutes later. I haven't ding dong ditched since.

Red is where I was, and yellow is the dudes house.

Shit, me and my friends used to compete with each other to see how much shit we could steal from random house parties.  One time we were out skating some random spot in some random town, and this girl my friend was myspace macking it apparently lived pretty close, so he calls her up and she tells him no one's home and to come over.  So we head over and she immediately brings him upstairs, so we twiddle our thumbs for a minute and then one friend looks at us all and says "fuck this, i'm ransacking this place" and grabs a trash bag and starts filling it with anything he can find.  We made out with like over 30 dvds, a coin collection, a bottle of cognac and other bottles of liquor, and some sharper image type gear, we then took off before he was done with her cause we had two cars.  Were all psyched with the treasure trove we now have until the next morning the girls dad calls my friend, and says if the stuff isnt returned within 2 hours hes gonna have all of us arrested, so we have to scramble and get all the shit together and speed over there and return it all, we thought we were fucked for sure.

[ice nine]

had all the doors open in the bottom floor of my house when i was 5 or so, running after my little brother, eventually the tv fell out of the entertainment centre and broke my foot.

was trying to step on and catch big rakes at a baseball game of my friends, got it in the face a la sideshow bob and split my eyebrow requiring stitches and a really lame scar.

grad camping there was some extreme looseur around us, trying to be accepted. a massive bug, no idea what it was, the size of a decent cockroach but red and gnarly, flew into my beer. i asked aloud if anyone wanted it, but they had to drink it all at once if they did want it. the dork did it happily, dont know how he never noticed the bug was in it. subsequently we thought this was the best thing ever, and took a large axe to a path nearby to 'dig' up some more bugs. first swing my friend did just bounced off a big rock and slammed into my leg. somehow the axe turned over so the dull side hit me. still cut me and left a big bruise but it would have almost severed my leg if it hit me right side up.

also jumped off my friends porch about 6 feet to my ass, dont know why. cracked tailbone, and one thing led to another i got a cyst like thing and had to have surgery to remove it.

one day walking to high school after lunch my friends backpack was open, and i saw a massive hunting knife in it. i took it, expecting he would notice, but he didnt. the next day at lunch i remembered and gave it back to him, in front of a monitor, i never even thought about it. almost got expelled, but they let up and gave me the longest suspension possible without being expelled.

at a party in australia, wrote my name in black sharpie on the guys table, stupid thing to do. later on some of the owners were asking me what my name was, i had forgotten what i did and told them. they started talking shit, and somehow i got outside and thought i was fine. next thing i remember is waking up the next day with my eye swollen shut, all my money/wallet stolen, big bump on my head. apparently they drove after me, and about 6 or 7 guys, all bigger than me, kicked the shit out of me, and a guy kicked me in the head while i was down. it was kind of fun finding out what happened by piecing together peoples stories for the next week or so.

doing large amount of mushrooms and going to the waterslides. i was okay, but everyone else was not able to function and we had to leave. although this was only last year 

[Ramrod]

Backflips off the swing was the bee's knees. It evolved into running and diving under people swinging.

Daaaamn swings bring back mad memories.. backflipping outta the swings
taught my best friend how to do it and when i left he broke his arm showing off for the local kids haha
running under the swings and getting fucked up and fucking up other people
running behind everyone swinging and trying not to get hit.. had to run without stopping or you were a pussy lol
trying to jump out and see how far you could go
and trying to swing all the way around until one of the chains damn near snapped off on me haha damn i was dumb

i spit in a girl's face on accident, we were yelling at each other and i tried to spit to the side to display my dominance, but the spit just hung down from my lip and when i tried to shake it off it went right on her face.  then she and her friends--the girl's soccer team--all chased me until i ran into my mom's classroom (she taught at my elementary school) and hid.

I once sneezed in a girls face by accident in highschool..
you know when you try and hold in a sneeze without touching your face and its all scrunched up and ugly as shit.. i tried to do that
i thought it had past.. and i ended up just letting out a nasty cough/sneeze with mad flem right in a senior hotties face as she passed right by me
I tried to turn my head last second and she was RIGHT THERE like not even a foot away lol
she screamed and jumped back and said something but i walked off super fast with my head down lol

[Donkey Lips]

The swing stories are the best. In elementary school we had a gauntlet set up of 5 swings, all swinging with people on them, and you'd have to run through just like you said. Nobody ever made it. This kid Rich Bettinger made it to the 4th swing and got destroyed by an ass swinging backwards.

The playground also had this weird bridge made out of a flat piece of rubber matting with no handrails or guards. You were supposed to run across it, and it was wobbly and bouncy. We figured out it was kind of like a trampoline, and would set one person (usually Mike) on the end of the bridge, and have another person chase one of us across. Mike would stomp down and send the other kid flying into the air...more often than not, crashing into the gravel about 4ft below. We upgraded to putting gravel on the bridge, so kids would run and slip, then get bounced off the fucking side.

I spend countless hours and dollars on fireworks that we'd all light off in the streets to attract cops, then have a chase. I honestly don't know what our obsession was with getting chased by the cops, but usually every weekend we would purposely provoke the state police or town cops, and just give them reasons to chase us. It eventually evolved into us getting drunk, electing somebody to drive around town with us in the car, and we'd try to lose the cops in the neighborhood streets by pulling into driveways and shutting lights off. regular. I have no idea how none of us got a DUI or worse out of it.

In my young years, I went to a friends house and wrote "FUCK YOU" on a notepad in his kitchen. His parents found it and I wasn't allowed back over until I was 16.

[Schteven]

So back when I was 14 or something and still living at my parents, I got home from school one day with two friends, playing nintendo in my room. One of them, Joey, this guy is pretty much batshit crazy, but in a good way. I guess he was kind of bored with playing video games, and started to burn shit in my room. Just little stuff like paper, but also some socks that were laying around. I tell him to quit it, cause the smell of fire drives my folks insane.
I tell him we can go outside and burn some shit, so we take my socks and some deodorant, and go outside. Outside we burn the socks to crisp, and go to this playground in front of my house. There is also a basketball court with a thrashbin which was pretty fucked, cause everyone used to play football against it, or just kick it. So joey takes the lighter and deodorant, and flames the thrashbin. First it seemed cool, and the thing didn't look like it was burning. But actually, there was a fire from growing inside, cause the bottom of the bin was open. So after a couple of minutes there's flames comming out of the bins top. And this was all during full daylight, on a playground full of kids, in a real nice neighbourhood.
So Joey tells everyone there "oh shit we gotta make out this fire!" And there were all these woodcrums or whatever laying around, for the playground, and he tells people to throw them into the bin to take out the fire. I don't know why but everyone listens to him, I guess he's a charistmatic guy. Of course the wood doesn't stop the fire, it just fucks it up worse.

Eventually some dude who lived there came out of his house with a bucket of water a kills the fire. Everything was cool and we walk back to my house. I was so glad my parents didn't find out. As we walk back to my house some mother asks us what happenend.At that very moment my mom drivves her car into the street. This bitch mother goes to my mom and tells me all about the burning. After that my parents burned me pretty harsh and i couldn't see joey for a month.

[alexthelarge]

Our neighbours have a kindergarten and we'd always go there and fuck around on their shit.One day when I was still little I sprayed water on some kids next door with the garden hose.I also shat in a barrel once the kids crawled through.Some unlucky kid was covered in pooh.I was notorious for shitting at the most random places.I always hanged around my dad's office after school and would find a nice quiet spot to realease a log sometimes.

Some kids and my friends always battled with bb guns and one dude hit me with a rifle right against my temple.Fuck I got alotta stories but I cant remember

Edit:One day when we were playing video games at a friends house his mom threw rocks on the roof cause we didnt here she was home.I told her to fuckoff cause some kids always did the same thing.She asked who it was and blamed it on my friend whos voice sounds the same as mine

[324]

Went out to this abandoned house with BB guns to shoot out windows and scare birds off. This kid, who I'd scrapped with plenty of times before, intentionally shoots a squirrel. The thing is lying there on it's side bleeding out the neck and hyperventilating. I try to put it out of it's misery and shoot point blank. It gets up and runs off and I feel terrible. I kicked his ass some time later for a comment he made, instead of fighting back he ran to the principal and got me suspended. Fuck that kid.

Used to make molotov cocktails with rubbing alcohol or gasoline just to throw them at walls and watch. Never burned anything down, we tried a portojohn once but didn't work. Good times.

My first bike was a sweet looking black Mongoose that had the brake you had to backpedal on (useless on anything slick). Used to bomb these huge grassy hills near my house, one day I hit a tree stump and endo'd to full front flip with a soft landing. After that I started BMX racing at the dirt tracks. I haven't thought about that in years. This thread rules.

[Beeda Weeda]

lit a prety decent forest fire when i ran out of matches and still had soem fire crackers left, so i used a small brush fire to light them
I had to go to the fire dept and apologize,  it was hard to hide it when i came home covered in soot and my shoes were melted.

[Magic Pizza]

My friend Bill and I stole rubber cement from the art class and went to lunch and painted a long line of it down the handicap ramp rail outside of the lunch room. Then he lit it on fire and the flames went up the rail in a split second it was awesome. Then after we left we were curious to see if anyone had noticed so we came back and the school security was there and this group of special ed kids were being blamed for starting the fire. I guess they were there when security came. Kind of felt weird about it.

[Ramrod]

idk how i remember this shit but when i was mad young.. maybe 5 or 6..
I'd play nintendo and sega genesis religiously.  Id get super into it and some games wouldnt pause (like mortal fucking kombat)
and me being that young, i had a hard time holding my bladder
Now the video games were in my older sisters room and she was always busy with school and extra curriculars so she was never home
When in the middle of a good game.. i didnt want to get up and go downstairs to take a piss cuz i'd lose.. or i was just in the zone and didnt want to leave
So i get the bright idea to open up the closet and put down a towel on the carpet and piss on that..
I did this for like 2 weeks straight lol and never got caught (i have no idea how it lasted that long because i pissed countless times in that closet haha)
Finally my sister and mom come to me asking why the closet smelled like pee.. and i deny deny deny that shit!
lol i then tried to blame my friend that lived down the street.. which only gets me deeper in the lie
My mom obviously knew i was lying and in order to set an example.. calls this kid and his mother over
I still dont break and I blame this kid in front of his own mother.. keep in mind that this kids been to my house maybe once
lol idk how i did it but i got off and he was blamed for the shit by his mother and grounded.. but my mom still whooped my ass
and my sister beat the shit outta me everytime i was around and she opened her closet haha

I also threw up in the middle of my older sisters bed once and covered it up with covers
she got in later that night and let out the loudest scream id ever heard

[Narcissus]

God, that's so weird

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

One time, when I was like 4, my dad was scolding me for something. For some reason, I just wasn't havin' it, so I punched him in the nuts. That didn't go over too smoothly. 

[Soul Doubt]

When i was about ten, my friends and I would go hang out under this bridge and go catch frogs or crawdads.  I remember sometimes if you were lucky you find some thrown out porno mag.  Down the street there was a shitty ghetto ass gas station where drug deals would go down.  I feel im lucky to have not been too near the druugies when the were down there getting high and fucked up under the bridge.  I know a friend who had two fuckers try to throw him in and drown him. He got away cause they hit them in the face with a bucket and ran as fast as shit.

I never really thought about this until today.
