crazy/dumb things you did in childhood/teenage years

[c. 1995]

Going to random house parties of people we didn't know and seeing if we could steal something from the house

I only remember it vaguely but once me and some friends were at a party (shit this was years ago) and the kid who lived there was a bigtime kook and had a buncha pairs of fresh shoes so we stole them all.

One time we were skating at this school. Strictly a late night spot you had to hop a huge fence to get in. One night we were there and there was like a concession stand/snack bar thing and we broke into it and stole a shitload of Oreo cookies and stuff. When we were driving back from the session (2 carloads of us) we were throwing Oreo cookies at each other out the window on the highway.

One time was skating until really late at night then we decided to just stay up all night and drive to Skatepark of Tampa. As soon as we got there I was so exhausted I fainted on the roll in then had to take a nap.

  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.

Fuck, for awhile I would never buy beer. I would just go to parties and just start jacking pabst. If anyone ever said anything, I'd just be like "what? I brought these. You're not the only one with PBR dude." Always worked.

This one time my brother was car hopping and he told me and my friend who could drive he'd give us half of what he found. Anyway, we're in a nicer neighborhood and roll up to this driveway with a nice car and a really shitty one. My brother opens the door of the shitty one and is looking through the compartment in the middle of the car and suddenly looks excited and runs back to the car. We figured that he had found something valuable and he tells us to drive. We speed off and he tells us he found a dagger covered in blood. It freaked me the fuck out and we never went car hopping again.

when i was 8 or so, my family went to el salvador to visit some family that still lived there, so we went to this creek to go for a swim and when we left i ran ahead of everyone to go back to the bathrooms to change but i got lost and winded up at some farm i thought it was the place to go since it looked the same as where we went but it was some guy's house and his dog chased me. i then hopped over a barbed wire fence it got more lost ina field at sat down and started crying until my family looked for me and saw me sitting in the field. at 8 years old i was scared shitless and thought i was gonna die.

i remember when i was about 13 or so a friend and i went over to an elementary school to skate. It being Halloween time there were a bunch of pumpkins that had been painted on. My friend gets the idea to smash them all, so we do. we left and i never felt so horrible before. i ruined some little kids halloween.

I was in Grade 4, and I was always very curious. I was snooping in my parents room when they weren't home, and I found an electric shaver. I got excited and wanted to shave something. I didn't have any hair on my face seeing as puberty was a more than a couple of years away, the only hair that I could see was my eyebrow. So I placed the shaver on my eyebrow and as soon as I knew it, half of it was gone. I freaked the fuck out because I was scared to see how mad my parents would be at me. I show up to school the next day, and everyone in my class laughed at me, so I ran to the washroom and cried in the stall. My parents eventually found out because my teacher called them during recess, and they weren't mad. I felt like a person for doing this, and I felt even worse when my parents called myself and my sister into the living room to talk to us. Turns out, my grandpa died the night before, the day I shaved my eyebrow off. All of this occured two before Christmas to boot. It took about 2-3 months for it to fully grow back, and I used eyeliner and color on the section that was missing, so I looked like I had a full eyebrow.

i'm probably the only dude in here who is going to tell something that happened yesterday (and have it fit the criteria of the thread). well, yesterday me and two friends were skating and we decided when night came that we wanted to keep skating throughout the night, so i go home and get a pillow, saying i'm staying at my friend x's house, then he does the same and says he's staying at my house, then the three of us go out skating, trying to find spots that are lit up enough by street lights or otherwise to skate, because any skateparks with lights close at 10 and the lights turn off at the same time. the thing that's sketchy about this whole situaton is:
1. two of us are under 18, and the curfew for under 18 is like 11 or something
2. i have a provisional license, not legally allowed to transport passengers unless one is at least 25
3. getting caught a skatepark or spot that late would mean definite trespassing citations for the three of us
anyway, we go to this park that's close to the street so the street lights give us enough light to skate. we skate for about an hour then walk through the park that it's in and find a box of storebought cookies and go to town with them. then we head off to another city and skate these street islands that are pretty steep banks for a good while, running into bushes any time a car passes by. finally, we head off to the nearby school in that town and skate around for another hour or so. by then it's around 4:30 and we're tired, so we drive to the park-n-ride and sleep in my car. leaving the town though, i get pulled over for having a brake light out. we were all super stressing, but the cop was surprisingly cool, just let us off with a giant warning despite breaking like three laws. we make it to the park-n-ride and sleep until like 12 when they kicked us out for sleeping there and then go skate for the rest of that day.

damn that's rough. in 7th grade, i tried to line myself up with a razor and shaved part of my eyebrow off by mistake. i swear it took like 6 months to grow fully back, such an embarrassment. everyone at school laughed at me as well.

Playing kickball with my cousins with a deflated ball, kicked the shit out of it and I busted out my Aunt and Uncle's house window, we all looked at each other and I think one of them said "I'm going to run, how bout you?" Another time we hung a rope around two trees and my cousin was riding his bike and he got close-lined by it ala Looney Tunes. Also, we were climbing a tree in their yard and our cousin came from SC to visit, so we were climbing and one of them pushed him and he fell and broke his arm. My cousin's are basically my older brother and sister.

[formeitscrazylike]

shot a roman candle at a cop car once, never ran so fast in my life.

filled a trashbag maybe 1/8 of the way with gasoline n shot some fireworks at it, i couldn't believe such little gas could make such a scene. 3 fire engines, cruisers, the whole 9 show up and we watched from my house.

nver really got caught for anything tho, but we did a lot of crazy/dumb shit, too young to know any better is my defense

My friend was over one day during the summer and his older sister was babysitting us. My friend, my younger brother and I thought it would be hilarious if we made a piss and lemonade concoction and had her drink it. So we had my brother piss into this plastic cup and then we mixed in some lemonade we had in the fridge. It was half piss and half lemonade and we stirred it a bunch so it just looked like normal lemonade. I think we told her that we were going to do a lemonade stand and wanted her opinion on how it tasted. She was definitely skeptical, but when she was finally about to take a sip, my mom walked in the door. She told my mom what was going on and my mom was like, 'I'll taste it first to make sure it's ok then you can have some'. So my mom takes a huge swig of this lemonade piss cocktail and says it's fine and hands it to my friends sister and she has a big gulp of it and my friend, my brother and I burst out laughing and tell them what they just drank. I have never seen a look of that much shock, disgust and disbelief in my life. About an hour later, after my friends dad picked him and his sister up and we'd all been grounded for the rest of the summer, it hit me how fucked up what we just did was.

[yep yep]

damn this thread is funny/ kinda wild. its bringing back lots of memories from me as a kid.

I remember one time a bunch of us were in my room and bored to we decided to turn on the fan and starting shooting a bb gun and have the bullets ricochet off the walls. One of my best friends yells fuck and pulls a bb out of his eye. Luckily he was fine.

We used to throw ninja stars in the house all the time. One time my friend threw one and it skimmed right through my friends hair. He was pretty pissed.

I started driving my dads old honda 90 motorcycle when i was about 14. We used to tow each on skateboards kinda like water skiing. We got kinda bored of this one day and decided to start getting towed in office chairs that spin 360 degrees. After we started getting comfortable we would go faster and faster. One time a wheel came off of the chair and my friend ate shit going about 30, he was in a sitting down position and went face first. He got pretty fucked up. And we wouldnt stop yelling at, it was his office chair anyways.

I live around lots of hills...After the movie cool runnings came out, this was before I started skating but we started bombing hills is those red wagon's. We would bomb pretty big hills, one time we were bombing a pretty big hill and one of the wheels popped off near the bottom of the hill. My friend and I got pitched into a parked car and ate shit. 

When hamburgers were .29 cents at McDonalds we used to buy a shitload of them and throw them at people as we were driving by them.

I worked at a skateshop in highschool and there would always be tons of used product lying around. For some reason we got the bright idea to start throwing skate product at peoples cars when we were driving back from school. We started off just throwing wheels than it moved on to actual decks. We never went on to trucks or completes or anything. But one time we were throwing stuff at a guy that lived in my area on the way home from school. We had to drop a bunch of people of on the way home. The last person we had to drop off lived in a culdesac, the guy that we had been throwing skate stuff at earlier that day lives in the first house out of the culdesac he was waiting with his younger brother and 2 paintball guns. All of the windows were down when we were driving out of the culdesac and they started blasting us it was soo crazy. We couldnt stop laughing it was like a movie. After this happened we went to the skateshop I worked at to hangout. We were talking about what happened and one of my older friends was like I'll call his parents and pretend to be a cop. So he called the guys parents saying he was officer garcia from some police department and needed the family to come down as soon as possible because there kids were in big trouble. I never did hear the end of the story but it was pretty funny.

Oh one time I was driving that motorcycle and a dog ran out in the street and I hit it. I flew the fuck off the motorcycle. The dog got right up and ran into its owners yard. The owners ran out and tried to help me get up and stuff and just kept apologizing. I thought they were coming up to me to start yelling at me. I got pretty fucked up.

Another time we got the bright idea to hit golfballs down the hill from my driveway and try to not hit any cars parked along the street. One time my friend took a full swing and let go of the club and it went right threw my window. We both looked at each other and knew we were screwed. My parents were pissed.

We used to sit in the grocery store down the street from my house and read skate mag's all day. Soon we just started eating candy and drinking soda while we were reading them kinda like the movies. We would just leave the trash behind the mag's. A manager asked us about the drinks one time and we said we purchased them from a vending machine outside the store. He knew we were lying but couldnt do anything.

Also one time I was about 3 or 4 I was trying to be nice to my mom for mothers day so i got the bright idea to try and make a sun roof in her car. My dad caught me on top of her car with a drill trying to drill a hole moms roof haha.

I did some fucked up shit when I was a kid. I have so many more stories it could go on and on...After I started really hanging out with older guys I never did any of the shit anymore. Thanks guys...I wouldnt consider any of that shit anymore haha

When i was 13 i was skating in matamoros, mexico with a couple of buddies. We decided to start skitching the city buses when the would slow down to pick people or drop them off. Anyways, my dumbass decided to grab on the left side of the bus where the wheel was  NOT the back bumper. My friends and i take off on the bus and i would say we are going like maybe 25 to 30, I don't know why but i decided to manny while skitching see how far i could go, out of no where i start to turning to the right and the tire just sucks in my board and drops my ass. The bus ran over my leg and my board, surprisingly my Heath Kirchart board didn't break. Last time i ever skitched.

i've never admitted this to anyone, so here goes. when i first started skating (around 10-11 years ago) my friends and i found all these kittens creeping out the bottom of someone's apartment patio. we all lived in this apartment complex and one of my friends lived next to the owner of these kittens and he said they were gone on vacation. it was one of those buildings where there's 2 rooms on the bottom and 2 on the top. so we decide to striaght up start chucking these cats as high as we can against the apartment walls. we litereally threw them 20-30 feet in the air and they just bounced off these walls, landing on the concrete. we did this for maybe 10 minutes untill i looked at one of the kittens and he was bleeding and crying. that was probably the most fucked up thing i've ever done and have kept that to myself since i was 13

[close]

i know you did this a long time ago and that you feel horrible about it, but still, fuck you so hard, i hope a panther eats you alive.

that is WACK. i cant believe you would ever think that is funny or cool even as a kid

i don't understand it. why would the wheel be the back bumper? also, you're on the left side and the bus turns right, how could that be a bad thing? maybe if you were on the right side and bus turned right, but it seems like you would just let go and keep straight as the bus turned, considering you'd be traveling at the same speed as the bus from skitching, and the bus would be slowing down a ton to make the turn anyway.

fuck, I see my mistake!....my friends were holding on to the back bumper which had a bar kind of thing... i was holding on the left side of the bus by the back axle like holding on to the bus frame. As the bus was gaining speed i was doing a manny trying to keep myself balanced. Mind you we are just going straight,no turns...In my manny it start to veer left, into the tire.

[Gomez]

ahh, i see, and actually, it was my mistake. i read "it started turning to the right" ('it' being the bus) rather than "i started turning to the right," which actually makes sense. so now i'm confused as to how turning to the left while on the left side (thus turning away from the bus) would have you end up under the bus. haha. and what how fucked was your leg after getting it run over by a bus?

[DustyGozongas]

To tell you the truth i was fine after it ran over my leg(sore for a couple days after), i got up real quick because i was scared i guess thinking it fucked me up worse. It happened too quick, the bus driver got out and tripped out that i was fine he wanted to take me to the hospital.. Hospital in Mexico=not good news

[Gomez]

how fast was the bus going? it seems like if it were going anything slower than 30mph then your leg would be shattered.

[DustyGozongas]

not too fast man,my best estimate would be 25-30mph. Luckily no shattered leg and my aws board was fine....

[Gomez]

that's damn incredible.

[DustyGozongas]

Fuck i don't want to fill up this whole page with only my post but, yeah looking back on it. I am fortunate i was fine,it definitely could have been worse. We were like a a good distance away from the bridge to come back into the U.S if something did happen.

edit: you went and fixed it without saying anything about your gnarly typo. lame 

[DustyGozongas]

I Know,horrid typo glad to see Gomez didn't catch that one. Thanks for the heads up though

[acider]

i used to binge eat as much food as i could, it was awesome but sucked at the same time.  i hit rock bottom in the bathroom of a local fresh choice with an unfathomably bad stomach ache and knew i needed to turn things around.

edit: i never purged or anything, that shit is for pussies!

[landCow]

i remember sneaking out of a friends house so we could try and skate for 24 hours straight. we were pretty young, skated in the sketchiest places and was started on by almost everyone. looking back its amazing we survived unscathed. And not to mention the idea to skate 24 hours is pretty dumb but damn it we made it, even if by the end it was just tic tacs and rolling down mellow hills doing coffins we made it.

[steve_lurkle]

Ahh jesus.

I go to Syracuse every summer, and there is this place that is supposedly haunted and shit called the cement factory. So my buddies and I decide to go there during the day, and a door to one of the buildings is open so we decide to go in. First thing we see is some old ass pickup covered in dust and fire extinguishers, so the obvious choice was to completely fuck up the truck. after that we go up like 3 levels and hear a truck pull up, so we hide out in the darkness and watch these dudes start installing locks on the door. At this point we all are freaking the fuck out, so after about ten minutes of planning we come up with the bright idea of spraying the fire extinguishers and bolting the fuck out of there. So we start running and I spray the extinguisher and we actually manage to get away from these dudes chasing us. I don't think I have ever ran so fast in my life.


Also one night I was skating home by this main road near my house. And I skate through a parking lot and this dude pulls up next to me and asks if I needed a ride... Of course I respectfully decline. He begins to talk to me about my camera that I have with me and shit, and Then asks me again If I want a ride, again I decline. Then he says he has a bag of weed for me if I get in the car. Tempting, yet sketchy, again I say no. He keeps talking to me and I am now afraid to run since he is being so sketchy. He asks me what I take pictures of and I tell him, then he asks if I have ever shot gay porn with it.... And I am pretty much like what the fuck at this point. He tells me he could pay me and it would be great and he would give me weed and all this shit if I just got in the car with him and came home with him for a bit.. I faked like my mother called my phone and told the man I had to leave, And skated as fast as I could home. That may have been one of the sketchiest moments of my life.

[MuarkSlayer]

in about 2nd grade me and my friend were outside his house when it was raining and his brother lived in this nice trailer and for some reason we thought he moved out? so we spent 20 minutes throwing huge rocks through all the windows and the rocks ended up breaking all the furniture and kitchen and shit. my friends dad was incredibly forgiving about it.

[mandibleclaw]

on a bet i tried to eat 100 buffalo wings, fueled by a broke kid's need for money and adrenaline i somehow made it to 70, by the end i was trying as hard as i could not to throw up as i chewed, i hard to force myself to keep going, until i finished the 70th one and actually fell out of my chair, a crowd had gathered around and i just lay there with them all around me and the manager told me i had to get up but i couldn't, it was like i was in some sort of waking coma, i couldn't move.  eventually i could get up and i didn't shit for more than a week.
