As a kid, what's the dumbest thing you did?

[miketx]

Ok, I'll start. I found a box of condoms in my step dads drawer, filled them up and threw them at Billy in gym class.

Then, Earlier, when I lived with Grand mother and my Aunt out in the country, they were both outside and I was in the house. I ran out and said "Grandma! You got a phone call!" She dropped what she was doing and ran in the house. We didn't have a phone. She hit me with the belt.

So what did you do?

Holy shit, trying to come up with an answer is like trying to drink water out of a fire hose. I'm frozen.

By the way, I see nothing dumb about the condom assault. That's just good clean fun right there.

good thread
believe it or not I cut the live TV cord and I remember sparks shooting out
I barely remember this--but I remember sparks--
I asked my brother if he remembered it and he said yes
I don't know how I didn't get shocked

 

[harmonica]

my mom literally knocked me out with a broomstick handle
my three brothers and I were always doing something wild and stupid
she also gave me a belt buckle ''tattoo'' when she hit me with it

remember the old Estes rockets and the engines?
well I beat out the engine powder and wanted to light it up
I thought I'd light it, then have time to move away!!!!! [hahahah dumbass ]
no---I lit it--then POOF--burning my face...had to go to the doctor
yes and a lot of you thought Harmonica had some brains

I rang mr Davidsons door bell one time too many.

You can decide for yourselves if this was dumb or smart.... a friend and I found over $100,000 in cash in the woods.... and we took none of it and called the police.
As you can guess, it was the result of a robbery and the people who got robbed gave us a $20 reward.
I swear on my Mother's grave this actually happened.

I worked a summer job doing janitor work at a local elementary school, and one day I stole a jar with a squid preserved in formaldehyde from one of the classrooms... On the way home, I deposited the dead squid on the driver's seat of a parked car. Didn't stick around to witness the owner's reaction but I had a few lols imagining it.

that's a good one
that reminds me --I squirted some acid into a friend's face in lab class...he blinked some, but was ok

Wasn't when I was a kid, but rather as a young adult on my first cruise overseas with the Navy.

Well, a couple of us were running around Naples one night, and it was during their election season and we heard some people having a rally. Well, we also saw there were several communist flags around the area, so my friends and I decided to see if we could steal one.

We got the flag down, but as soon as we were on the ground, we were spotted by some of the rally goers who saw us with the flag. Ended up running through the streets of Naples for the next 15 min. or so trying to outrun them.

After we got back to the ship, we had a lottery to see who got to keep the flag.

Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done, because those Italians were PISSED, and if they had caught us, it would have been bad.,

I walked around Toulon France by myself--during the day--that wasn't smart
I went a few places at night drunk--in South America and the Med--by myself--not smart

I was a little pyro... At 6 years of age I took my mothers cigarette lighter and lit the tablecloth on the kitchen table on fire... I got the fire put out but the commotion woke my mother up... Table was scorched and tablecloth was crispy on one corner... I quickly grabbed the trash can and told my Mom that I was going to take the trash out to the burn barrel but it was to windy to lite outside... but hey I was 6 years old and thinking quickly on my feet was not my expertise... To say the least the shtf...

I did my first tour on a combat stores ship based out of Norfolk from 1983 until 1987 and did a couple of Med cruises on it. Remember the "hey Joe's" just outside the pier gate?

Oh................another stupid thing I did while in Naples. A friend of mine told me that if I wanted an E ticket ride through the streets, offer to give a cabdriver a 10 dollar American tip if he can get you from the pier to AB South in less than 20 min. Dude will break every speed limit and run a whole bunch of lights to get that tip.

When my friends and I first got our licenses, one of my friends hopped on top of the car, grabbed ahold of the rack, and away we went. I drove around the neighborhood at 30 mph, zipping around corners seeing if he could hang on.

Wow. Just full blown stupid.

I remember some American themed bar in Naples nearby...I'll never remember the name
I think it had hamburger's ?? a bunch of my unit was there

I remember in South America I was pretty drunk..we went back to the ship, to get more $$ or something, then we took off in a cab---this other cab pulls up next to ours as it is driving and the driver is yelling in Spanish.....
my Spanish speaking friend said that I didn't pay that other driver...I got low in the cab and just said ''go go go'' ......hahahaha

We went to Rio de Janerio when we went on UNITAS XXV. I remember several things about that particular port visit, namely a place called the Night and Day club, and another one named Harry's or something like that.

I also remember that there were live sex shows in those bars, and if you paid them, you could participate in the sex shows and do it on stage.

There was a LT who was doing the sex show thing, and halfway through his time with the woman, the CO and XO walked into the bar. They got a beer, saw him, drank their beer and left. The next day the LT was restricted to the ship and when we got back to the States, he was told to resign his commission.

I was kinda bummed when the LT was told to go home. He was one of the better Division Officers that we had.

I was Unitas 88 and 89...what year were you?
I was on the LSTs Sumter and Manitowoc
Rio--hahahahah---I was drunk as hell on a water taxi--hanging on with one hand, my feet on the small rim of the taxi--I was lucky I didn't fall in---I was bitchin about something

they had just changed the currency I think
I was at a ''bar'' and they said I need to pay ''100,000''??? of something--I didn't have it--so I played drunk/falling down--they carried me to the nearby beach walkway, gave me to 2 US [sailors or Marines-- I forget ] ...as soon as the bar workers left--I asked ''are they gone''?....they said yes---so I went out and partied some more !!!!
that was my escape from Rio

before we went ashore--the Co told us places we couldn't go......we of course went there and he was there also!!!!
