Stupid shit we did as kids.....

[Schadenfreude]

Oh my! Its a wonder I lived thru it.

The funniest thing we did was on a 35' high bridge over a river. We would walk tightrope style on the guard rail and when a car would go over pretend it shook us off and we would "fall" into the water. Then we would scurry up under the abutments and hide while the driver of the car panicked and searched the water for us. It was funny till someone recognized us and told our parents.  How about the old wallet with a dollar sticking out attached to fishing line laying in the road and a bunch of giggling kids in the bushes waiting to jerk it when someone stopped to pick it up.

Then there was black powder pipe bombs and BB gun fights and everything in between.

You are unambiguously evil. 

[Schadenfreude]

I set my forearm on fire back in the day trying to be Gene Simmons.  

This is the kind of story that you will remember when you see your own children doing something similar and know it will not end well. They always get a bigger kick out of hearing how their parents escaped death and forget about the thrill of doing whatever it was they were scheming.

I was such a goody two shoes as a kid and throughout high school. I saved dumb stunts up for later.

Absolute dumbest: I was 22. Lived in Omaha, but was up in DesMoines on a business trip that just happened to coincide with the Iowa State Fair on the night that Chicago was playing in a concert there. Met friends at the Fair after work, we wandered around the fair until time for the concert, had a couple of beers which I totally detested but was the only choice of adult beverage at the fair. We all went to the concert, and instead of leaving right after the concert, I stayed with friends and partied some more.

Drove back to Omaha at 2am after the bars closed, not only tired, but alone and slightly intoxicated. 144 miles to the far east side of Omaha and I lived on 96th.

At one point, I pulled over, took my contacts OUT ( ) cause they were bugging me, and I followed a semi quite closely, because I could see his taillights. He was not happy. He pulled off the interstate, so I would go on ahead, and then came right back on. He passed me, and I kept following him all the way through Omaha.

Got home, went into my apartment, went to sleep for a couple of hours. When I got up in the morning I couldn't find my contacts. Found them laying on the console of my car.

Never did see a cop, the whole way home. But I must have had an army of Guardian Angels watching over me.

That stunt far surpassed stupid.

Yep. The stuff that'd earn you a truck full of angry gentlemen in black uniforms followed by a media circus these days.

[Schadenfreude]

Dumb shit done as a kid ?

Suffice to say that I'm lucky to have all fingers , my eyesight and hearing intact.

Better living through chemistry.

I am not surprised by this admission.

I know that feeling, I drove home a few times when I should not have driven and I thank God that nothing ever happened to anyone.

All of my stupid shit I did is sealed in my juvenile record.  That is all. 

[Schadenfreude]

I was about 21 years old and me and my boyfriend of 2 years decide we are going to "park". It was winter time and we take his little volkswagen jetta down to a secluded area (which also happened to be a swampland). We park on what we think is solid ground. Well, the car starts a-rocking and suddenly the thin layer of ice that was supporting us breaks and we drop about 6 inches. We are suspended by what little ice is left under the front and rear bumper.

Bloody heck, this was before cell phones, so Romeo leaves me in the car and he goes to get help. When the tow arrived, the tow driver rolled his eyes at our predicament and chalked it up to another Saturday night.

I plead the fifth.

My Mother had a bad habit of saying, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
I answered that...once.   KABOOOM! I was a teen, and towered over my mom, but she let me have it but good.
I learned a lot of respect for that little gal that day.

But I also learned the meaning of, "rhetorical question."

My mom is 6 feet tall, but I passed her in height about 13. Her philosophy was "With a chair and a baseball bat, we're still equal." She actually punched me once. Never had to do it again...

I did a few of those when I was younger.

Yoiks! Leave it to mom to leave a lasting impression.

I was on a date with a gal. We went to a drive in theater. It was a chick flick, "Other Side of the Mountain Part 2." It was a muggy August night, too hot and humid to cuddle. The windows were down for any breeze. and the drive-in was packed. every spot had a car.

The story was about this crippled gal. Every guy who dated her treated her like crap...except for this one guy, the perfect guy....it was a dream come true. Unfortunately the perfect guy wasn't that perfect of a pilot and his plane went SPLAT, into a mountain. He was like pancake flambe' dead.

The gal on screen was crying. My gal was crying. I could hear gals all over the drive-in crying.

and then I realized. Every car was just like mine. Too humid to even allow for a girl to cry on your shoulder, every guy was grumbling, every girl was crying. Half the audience loved the movie, and half the audience wanted to poke their eyes out...

It struck me as funny...so I laughed.  and KABOOM! My date clobbered me! She thought I was laughing at the gal on the screen. I tried to explain but she was hearing none of it!

It was then I learned one of the truths about women. Even when you are right, YOU ARE STILL WRONG!
Don't bother trying to defend or save yourself. Just take your lumps and shower her with gifts and flowers later.

It's funny, but a number of my epiphanies at that time in life started with a KABOOM!

I still cry when I see the ending to An Officer and a Gentlemen, my husband looks at me and has a WTF look on his face then he laughs. Here's the ending, can't find the english version so the spanish will have to do:

I was such a goody two shoes, I should be embarrassed to tell this story, but I'll just tell it. I was working in the medical field and going to school at the time, a couple of co-workers were going to a softball game between a couple of bars playing against each other, I was probably 19 at the time, well the team we were rooting for lost, and 1 of the guys said we need more T & A from the women cheering from our side, I turned to 1 of my co-workers and said, T & A? Tonsils and Adenoids?

I think you were probably most correct, clinically speaking of course!

[Airwolf]

When I was six i tossed a brick at some kids that were tossing dirt balls at us and missed. I couldn't get up from behind from where I was otherwise I'd be seen. Got found out anyway and they dropped it on top of my head and I ended up with seven stitches in my skull. Then there were several times driving and drinking all over the back roadshere in the county and one time after a party for my friends 19th or 20th birthday he tells me I'm to drunk to drive my 71 Nova and after awhile he talks me int oleting him drive which resulted in him driving my car into a ditch just outside the gate from the patch of farmland we had the part y at. No damage but I drove it out of the ditch and back home.

Everytime I read this thread more memories surface , when we moved to NJ from NY the kids celebrated mischief night here, we went out to throw eggs, no way could I damage someones car or house so I threw an egg on my Parents tree.

Oof! I kind of suspected you have some battle scars.

Waitaminute. I have it on good authority that you were NEVER a juvenile. You were born an adult.

So out with it. What was so terribly wrong about what you did as a non-juvenile?

My Non-juvenile record is as boring as vanilla pudding or tapioca.

I'll bet there's more to this tapioca story...
