What stupid things did you do as a kid?

[Superted]

This was inspired from another forum, did you do anything really silly when you were a kid? Well we all have I guess but what?

I had some obsession with rubbing other people's ear lobes, I was like 5 at the time.

I also let this kid pull my trousers down in front of these 2 women walking past, they wern't very impressed.

EDIT: I also thought policemen couldn't die, thanks to the media for that one.

When I was young, whenever someone kissed me (i.e. Mum, Granma etc...) I would always put the kiss under my neck cause I wouldn't want it to rub off. I would do this by kinda patting it and then patting my neck (As if I was transferring the kiss). The thing is though, I only let my immediate family know, so whenever it was in public, or a Grandparent kissed me, I would have to move it to under my neck ever so subtly.

When I was young and finding out about the world, I used to believe that gravity was caused by air. I "proved" it by putting Skittles in a Ziploc, then taking all the air out, and turning it over. They didn't fall down. Theory proved!

I then generalized. There was no gravity in space because there was no air there! And Jupiter and the sun had heavy gravity because they had so much air. I felt as though I had figured out one of the secrets of the universe.

Damn all three above this post are hilariously good. Ewan wins the WTF award.

Me and my friend used to go around and kick fat kids up their arses to try and produce a really funny sound.

Its so much better kicking a fat kid up the arse than a skinny kid.

If you wanted to hang with me and my friends (we were all about 13-14), you had to pass an initiation. Although we had several, we had one we used the most often. We would take the kid out on a Friday night and we would all get stoned and drunk (it was the early 70's). We would then tie his hands up, blindfold him, and tell him that he could not untie himself or remove the blindfold or he would fail. We also told him that them that they could not speak at all or they would fail. We would lead these kids to different places them like bowling alleys, grocery stores and biker bars and push them in the front door and run away. The kids would have to get back out on their own. But the final 'test' was the worse.
We had a set of railroad tracks in town right beside each other. We would lead these kids to the tracks and tell them we were about to test his courage. We tied them to the track VERY well and then tease the poor kid about a train coming. Since the trains ran on a regular schedule we would time it so that we knew a train would come. As the train approached, we would simply leave this poor kid tied to the tracks and run away. Of course, what the kid didn't know was that he was tied to the old spur track that ran along side of the active track. Being drunk, blindfolded, tied up and having a huge train approach and blow by your head 10 feet away was enough to give these kids a heart attack. There were several kids that we had to leave tied up for a while until they stopped freaking on us and calmed down. But at the time, we thought it funny and cool.

I have a couple of even stupider things if you guys want to hear them. LOL

i used to ride my bike up and down one of my neighbors driveways because it was so long and steep. unfortunately at the bottom there is a huge hedge of bushes so when you come down into the street you have no idea if there is a car there. so one day i go up to the top of their driveway pedal as fast as i can and just as i get to the bottom they pull into their driveway. i slam right into the side of the car as they are pulling in and fall into the ditch right next to the hedge. 15 stitches on the side of my head and $1300 for repairing the dent in the car

The most stupid thing must be: Getting arrested at school and being put in jail on your 16th birthday.
Accused for: Burning one schoolbuilding down.
Proof: The suspect looked straight into the video camera, but video wasn't legal evidence at that moment and therefore i was released.

or was it installing subspace and signing up for tw forums... ... ... :crying:

[za gophar]

oh i dunno lots of stuff. first thing that comes to mind was when my sister and i got into the medicine cabinet and severely overdosed on flintstone vitamins cause they tasted like candy. i think we both got out stomachs pumped.

lots of other things too that dont come to mind right away. we used to like to jump on a huge trampoline behind my friend's house and we would all jump at the same time so one person would get a huge bounce. one time i hit it just right and bounced so high i completely lost control. i did 2 summersault backflips (not on pupose) and landed on my head.. could have broken my neck lol.

then there were the prank phone calls. we used to do them all the time. my friend found a rolls royce ad in a dupont magazine and called them up like "hi, you do sell rolls royce's?"
-(person who picked up) "yes, may i--"
-(my friend) "well they SUCK!!!!!!!!" *slams phone down*
we did that one a lot.
then one day i dialed a random number and got an answering machine. i left the message : "yes.. i would like a fat monkey" (in hysterics the whole time) and hung up. my friend was unsatisfied with this and called back and left: "AND I WOULD LIKE A FAT PENIS!" well the person had caller ID and called back and got my friend's parents. that ended our prank calling.

we also liked to play baseball in the street. later on in our years of doing this we wanted a bit more power in how far we hit the ball, so we started using a golf ball instead of a baseball. metal bat+golf ball = that thing fucking flew. we hit so many cars and houses it wasnt funny, and every time we did we would sprint back into the house and hide. thank god we never broke a window though.

one story im not involved in: my friends got bored after school soimetimes, and they would go to the start of their street and launch water balloons at passing cars. they got bored with water balloons after a while, so they switched to paintballs. one night they were doing it in the dark, and they hit a cop car accidentally and ran. they got away, but were stupid enough to do the same thing the next night. they hit the same cop car and this time he chased them and caught them. the sad part was that they were a junior and senior in high school.

We used to kick street light poles when we were young. If you kick them hard enough (at least in Finland) it will cut the power because of security reasons.

It stays off for like 5 minutes and we had competitions about how many lights in a row we could turn off before the first one lit again.

No, by semi-naked drinking games

When I was little (like, maybe 7 or 8) my dad and grandpa built a brand new set of cement steps for the front door of our house. It took them a long time and they finally got them finished and we had to let the cement set and all that.

A while later (no idea, maybe a month?) me and my sister were playing on the steps with our little toys and we had a fun idea! We got a stick and set it on the steps so half of it was off of them, and put our toys on one end, to make a catapult. We took some of these big rocks that were for the garden, and took them back to the steps and SLAMMED them down on the "catapult" as hard as we could. We did this for a long time, and it was REALLY fun catapulting our toys onto and over the house.

My mom saw what we were doing, and went crazy. We didn't really realize or care, but of course when we were throwing the big rocks down, we smashed the fuck out of the brand new steps. There was big chunks broken off of them and they were totally destroyed.

That was pretty stupid, but funny when I think about it now.

Oh yeah, another time when I was maybe 9 or 10 I think, me and my dad were home and we were cleaning up the yard and burning all of the leaves and branches and shit. We threw a big sheet of old plastic crap into the fire at one point. When my dad wasn't around, I was screwing around the fire, and some of the plastic blew suddenly, and landed on my ankle (I had shorts on). It hurt a LOT and it burned a big nasty hole on my leg. I didn't want to tell anyone, so I pulled my sock up higher so no one would find out.

Hahahaha, I just remembered. I didn't want my mom to see, so I pretended I was a "tightrope walker" so I was walking sideways. Hahahahaha.

Anyway, eventually they found out about my burned leg. It was pretty disgusting at the time, and there was pus and shit coming out of the burn. They went crazy and took me to the hospital emergency room. Wow, when I think about it now, that was really fucking stupid of me. :grin:
