Crazy shit you did when you were younger.

[Deleted member 8118]

Right now I'm having a conversation with a friend about all of the crazy shit our friend group did because we were young and didn't give a shit or didn't know any better.

Making explosives on 4th of July, like shit that would get any adult arrested.

Hiking through trails without proper equipment

Running through the woods at night because we got found out trying to throw eggs at houses

Deliberately driving through gang areas trying to see what's going on

Going to Ferguson protests to see what it was like to get teargassed.

This list keeps going...

Do any of you have any crazy stories about childhood or being a teenager?

 

[Alwayscrazybacon]

I hung off the outside of a high railway bridge decades before the Russians popularized that on the internet. It was solid ground underneath and not a river.

 

[Einchy]

I used to find scorpions, put them in a jar of alcohol and then collect the bodies.

Used to also capture spiders, once I even got a Black Widow and took it to school for show and tell.

 

[Chance Hale]

Snowmobiling at near full speed through forests cross faded as shit as a young teen in Alaska, looking back I’m honestly blown away none of us ever had an accident.

 

[Coyote Starrk]

My best friend in high school lived out in the middle of the literal nowhere (I lived in Oklahoma at the time) and I had to take these back roads to get there so we could do CoD parties (back when it was still a good game) and it was just empty field after empty field stop sign after stop sign.


Finally I got so fed up one night with the continuous stop signs that were pointless (in my dumbass mind) that I started just turning off my headlights when I would come to the intersections see there was no cars coming because there werewno headlights and just blow right through them.


I must have done that for over a year. Never ONCE came across another car or got pulled over. If I could go back now I'd smack the shit out of myself.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Yeah, it's a miracle my friends and I didn't getting horrifically injured from fireworks.

 

[Axumite]

My friend group in the last two years of high school and the first two years of college were adventurous, reckless, and heavy drinkers. In fact, those 4 years of my life were the only times I drank excessively and now I only drink a beer or two for social occasions.

During those years with that friend group, my antics included:

• Trespassing onto the grounds of an abandoned mental asylum, and exploring the dilapidated building.
• Throwing eggs at houses.
• Spray painting graffiti on a small local bridge.
• Mooning people out the backseat window of a car on several occasions, including one time where the victim was a late night McDonald's drive through worker.
• Streaking several times. Once down a main road at 1 am, once as a lap around a girl's house on a dare at her birthday party, and one time across a football field after breaking into a stadium with a friend I was visiting at her University.
• Getting road head from a friend with benefits at 3 am, and having it affect my driving to the point that I was noticeably swerving (extremely stupid of me).
• Breaking onto the golf course of a large country club and stealing golf balls.
• Sneaking onto a construction site downtown and setting up a bunch of cinder blocks to say "GET OUT" like a ghost set them up.
• Getting a blow job at 2 am on a suburban sidewalk. No attempt to hide it. Pants and underwear down around my ankles, standing up while the same friend with benefits from earlier was kneeling in front of me. (Might be the dumbest thing I've ever done.)
• Staged a heist with two buddies where we stole the Old Navy dog mannequin from our local Old Navy. I was the get away driver.

I picked my nose during a play

My friend and I willingly let another dude put us in sleeper holds back when we were 12. We dapped him up afterwards.

 

[SliceSabre]

-Playing in a junkyard with friends and having to dodge and run from mean ass junkyard dogs.
-Trying to walk on a train bridge that was going over a river
-Trying to grab and sometimes grabbing trains as they pulled out the train yard I used to live near
-Seeing who was the bravest and climbing up to the high points possible in trees
-During the winter we would play on the ice once the nearby river froze, once I fell through the ice over the river but managed to get to shore fine.
-Did the fainting game with my cousin, I never managed to knock him out but he was able to pull it off on me
-Sneaking into houses we deemed to be abandoned.

Holy fuck my friends, cousins and me did some FUCKING stupid shit as kids.

 

[Malleymal]

Started a landscaping company and found a house that had pornos in the garage. We propped a door to their house and would go in all times of the day to steal and replace magazines. Basically got paid and free porn. Back in the day that was a serious win.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Played the OG DOTA and CS all day instead of working on my final year project.

Oh, and jumping off a playground.

 

[LQX]

I use to chase cars.

 

[Tappin Brews]

I broke 150 mph in my mustang at 1 am on tires worn down to the steel mesh/ply

 

[Deleted member 11626]

Hitting 100 in my old Honda Civic

Breaking into one the local country clubs overnight

Hitting a dip in the road at 90 mph and going airborne more than once

Driving 20 below while drunk (I’d take it back if I could)

Egging several houses and especially cops

Hitting mailboxes off the posts...which is basically not possible in a car

Stealing street signs

Taking lawn ornaments and lights and moving them to neighbors yards

Driving through yards

Actually got a dude to fall for the shit in a flaming bag at the doorstep

Made out with my now wife in the middle of the day at a public park with all the kids watching

Lost my virginity as a freshman in high school to a sophomore girl I knew for three days

Stealing fire extinguishers from an apartment complex and spraying them into this guy’s room and around his house


......

God damn I was a piece of shit teenager.

Edit: broke into the wealthy neighborhood pools for midnight swims

Filled a seasoning container with powder from accumulated fireworks and set it off in the middle of the neighborhood field....that ditch is still there today

 

[Grenchel]

One of my grade seven buddies would steal his dads car and we would drive around in it.

Thankfully no one ever got hurt. So fucking stupid.

 

[Hydrus]

Ride dirt bikes without helmets. Sounds lame, but fuck I could've died so many times.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Stuff I did with friends:

Buying fireworks and hotwiring them to explode in a massive ball of fire.

Walking home from Subway and putting our trash in people's mailboxes.

Stuff I did by myself:

Eating an entire large pizza by myself.

 

[Masquerade Overture]

Murder.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

We used to duct tape each other inside the big recycling bins and roll them down the big hill in our neighborhood.
It was a lot of fun.

Throwing black cat fireworks with my hand,and im 40 now in my 20s i had lots of unprotected sex.

 

[Bloodbathnbyond]

In high school, me and a friend spotted a certain famous rap artist, watched this person leave their car, and then my friend horribly keyed it while I asked certain rap artist for an autograph. I’m not at liberty to say who it was. I felt bad after.

Come the hell on. Don't get this thread locked..

I remember getting the cops called on me and some friends because I was slamming pallets on the concrete to break them and make a fire for BBQ. They roll down the alley, me, underage, drinking with an open container. They thought there was a shooting because of how loud it was.

Not a word said.

I crashed into a pile of rocks while riding aa high-powered scooters with a friend and scraped a good few layers of skin off my arm and chipped my tooth.

Me and my friends were deep into cars and we ended up going 90mph through the middle of the city at 1am while racing a gang of muscle cars while we were all crammed into a coupe.

Later that week we went 145mph in the same car while in the middle of Illinois. My friend's dad asked us how fast we were going when he saw us blew by and I told him.. he just shrugged.

Just so wreckless.... Nothing was off limits.

 

[Wood Man]

Jumping off cliffs and doing flips while landing on solid ground. I was completely untrained in gymnastics. Sometimes I wouldn't time it right and land on my back. I could've broke my freakin' neck. Idiot.

Constantly had unprotected sex with my gf in high school. My life would've been soooo much different if I accidentally got her pregnant. I remember we had a few scares when her period wasn't on time. I think she's the kind of person that totally would of had the child. I say this because after we broke up she rebounded with some guy and he quickly knocked her up. Damn, now that I think about it her kid must be grown up and college age. YIKES

 

[riverfr0zen]

Play 'war' by flinging large chunks of hardened clay at each other near construction sites. We would aim for heads.

Still can't believe nobody was hurt critically (there were a lot of tears though), it was so fucking stupid.

 

[Indelible]

Smoked weed pretty much everyday during high school, never got caught and graduated with decent grades.

 

[Strangelove_77]

I was a good boy.

 

[Futureman]

My friends and I used to run naked through neighborhoods when we were drunk in high school/college. We lived in an area that was a rural/suburban mix so it wasn't too populated, but still would have been crazy if we got caught. A gang of 8 or so guys just streaking down a residential street.

In high school we stuffed dummies a few times and tied them to the back of cars when someone ran into a store.

 

[Deepthought_]

Speeding down a steep hill riding on the back of a bike

Thinking I can just hop off it and adjust my speed so I don’t fall and hurt myself but instead I fucked myself up

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I was an incredibly sensible (boring) person as a kid/teen. The craziest thing I did was when I was on a field trip somewhere and went off course with some friends. The area could flood sometimes so if we were too long it could be dangerous. When we were found I didn't even get in trouble because they were like "you're always perfectly behaved so we'll let you off" everyone else got in trouble though hehe. Apart from that, I once snuck into a neighbour's back garden to get a ball that I kicked over there.

Yeah I once tried to "outdo" myself and ran up to a plastic chair to do a 180 jumping backflip. Chair broke and I ended up landing on the area between my neck and back with the entire weight of my body.

I just lied there on the ground face down motionless. Couldn't move anything but my head a little bit and couldn't breathe and my buddies initially thought I was just joking around while I lie there panicking like I was about to die.

Lucky my friends held my head firm and turned me around. A few second later I started to breathe again. Took a few minutes to recover, and never went to the hospital after like the dumbass I was. Just made sure I didn't move my neck around too much for a while as it had a weird kink. Felt a bit of back pain when I turned my neck at certain angles.

As lucky as that was, didn't stop me from continuing to act stupid.

Somehow we all survive that shit. I'm starting to think it's more resilience than luck :P

Some of the stuff above is pretty insane, but this is just horrible. How could you do something like that? What if a neighbor kicked their ball into your garden, would you expect them to invade your home? No, I suppose being the kind of person you are, you would take the opportunity to "sneak" back into their garden and return the ball. Seriously didn't expect to meet your kind on this forum.

I mooned a cop from my schoolbus in the 7th grade. I was like, what, is he gonna pull the bus over or something?

lights go on, woop woop. Really, really dumb.

I'd get a fountain drink and I'd mix all the sodas together. Even the diet ones.

I'm dying to know what kind of talking to they gave you. That must have been a very amusing exchange.

 

[RedHeat]

Me and my 2 friends (most people I think wouldn't consider them that, but w/e) used to steal fireworks from a trailer this Mormon family that owned the property had. We used said fireworks on a whole magnitude of things, up to and including using one of those smoke bombs on my lil' brother's friend when we trapped him under a pile of old restaurant seats. At one point I was playing with a spinner, one of my friends made me jump and I dropped the lit spinner inside my size 7 sneaker thus burning a 3-inch hole in my foot.

Couldn't walk or go swimming for a month. That summer sucked.

Now a days just a few slices of pizza is too greasy for me and upsets my stomach :X

Explored a a storm drain gutter with a group of friends once. Was pretty cramped and a bitch to get out.

[Squirrel Killer]

Knocked on the passenger side window of a car whose driver was driving like an ass... while we were both doing 75mph down the interstate.

Tried to pass a beer to the driver of another car while on a group road trip (they were not part of our caravan.)

they didn't give me a talking, they hand cuffed me and brought me into the station and called my parents, then gave me a $300 ticket and 15 hours of community service. I dug ditches for two weekends in a row.

I can remember the exact date I dug those ditches too, because it coincided with the premier of the Garlic Junior saga on Toonami, which happened on a saturday day-long event. I was grounded so I didn't get to see them, but I snuck a VHS tape into the VCR and recorded it all day long, then waited for my parents to go to sleep and watched it quietly in my bedroom, haha.

edit: also, I was expelled from the school bus permanently. I could never ride the bus again, I had to get rides to and from school. And I got 2 weeks of in-school suspension.

upside: I never had to ride the bus again. That actually ruled. I even started to get home earlier because I was being taken straight home. Luckily, a neighbor of mine's office was right next door to the school, so I could carpool with her in the morning, and by pure luck she got off at the same time I was let out of school, so she could bring me home. I really owe that lady a big thanks, she's still my parent's neighbor.

[Allforce]

I'm old so the statute of limitations is likely up on a lot of this stuff (I hope):

Stealing hood ornaments off cars. We'd wear them around our neck on chains at football games at rival schools. I stole a fucking Rolls Royce one I had for years that I snapped off the hood. Probably cost that guy a grand to replace....

Friend bought a gun but no bullets and held up a trick-or-treater for his candy when we were probably 14. I'm still friends with that dude and bring it up every time I see him every few years and he always denies we did it but I KNOW THE TRUTH.

Various crazy dumb pranks, ding-dong-ditching, flaming shitbag, lawn jobs in cars, etc. Poured a huge jug of Elmers Glue (like a 2 gallon jub) on someones porch once and then covered it in about 5 boxes of Cheerios. As an adult now I can imagine how bad that guy raged when he found that mess the next morning...

Set off a Drano-bomb in a neighbors yard when I was like 15 at like 3 AM. Never heard anything like that before, woke up the entire neighborhood. I remember we shook it up and tossed it, and nothing happened, I went up to grab it and see what went wrong and got about 15 feet away and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! it was like a mortar went off. Don't know how I didn't die or get injured that night.

My buddy went on vacation when he was 16 with his parents but we wanted to use his car so we broke into his place and got the keys. Took all his dads change and bought weed too. He didn't care and his parents never said a word.

I would go out after dinner at age 15 and just take my mother's brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee and drive to the video store, arcade, wherever. All while my parents were sitting inside watching TV and none the wiser. Never thought twice about it and I'd be home by like 9 PM. My older sister knew and couldn't believe the balls I had. I had my own key made at one point and my mom found it when I turned 16 so I didn't get an actual license until I was 17 as punishment.

 

[Krejlooc]

Speaking of mooning, my 5 year old nephew mooned my sister a few months back and she called me up, a mix of anger and laughter, to tell me what he did. I told her to go easy on him, it was just a prank haha.
