What is the stupidest thing you did in your teens.

[Imperfection]

Next to where i grew up used to be fields where the farmer used to graze his cattle.On other side of field was the local industrial estate and this field was a regular through route for people walking to work.Well,we used to run at the herd of cows screaming and shouting-causing a stampede.Cant even begin to imagine what it must have been like having 50 odd tons of prime beef bearing down on you...

 

At the local sand & gravel quarry,we used to ride the massive conveyor belts which take the aggregate from the quarry several miles away for sorting.This was especially stoopic cos the conveyor crossed the river high overhead and at the time just added to the fun!

 

There are heaps more,but since this is a public forum-i wouldnt want it used as evidence!

No medical student aventures with 'knee treblers' whilst trying to put a march mellow in to a money box?

 

We did have a Gynae who placed an ultrasound probe into the back of a lady, so he could see his 'lad' in action on a large screen - we only found out when he 'dumped' her - he has a new job writing medical soaps - impressive CV

That is the most romantic story I've ever heard.

In no particular order. Got caught syphoning petrol for my moped. set fire to a paper recycling bin and it got a bit out of hand. whilst playing darts in my mates cellar threw dart into his little brothers head (by accident.) 'borrowed' a council argo 6 wheel drive thing and tried to drive it over a lake. took it back waterlogged. fired rockets from shoulder 'launchers' (bits of gas board yellow pipe. ) got stuck on a railing at blackpool pleasure beach maze and needed 4 hour op on leg. got arrested for digging up potatoes in an allotment!? did mushrooms and went on an 8 hour bus ride (around and around and around!) made some sewers explode with bangers. broke my collar bone rugby tackling a sheep. The list is endless. I was a grade a **********

 

I was a nightmare for my poor parents! Army was the best place for me.

There has been too many to mention, but the one that always comes to mind (and still makes me shudder 33 years on) was the time when working on an airbase as a trainee falconer i drove across a runway while a harrier jump jet was landing .Nowdays common sense would tell me to stop as soon as i saw the barrier come down, but at 17 i was half way across before i even began to think i could be in trouble, but at that age your invicible (or so i thought) and in my trusty old van that did 0-60 eventually and the jet about 800m away i went for it .I dont know by how many seconds i beat the jet cos i didnt stop or look back, i went straight back to my quarters for a much needed change of underwear BIG trouble over that!!!

16, 'accidentally' walked into the leapord enclosure while on safari in africa...before you ask, i was not drunk and didn't try to ride it!

[Conygree]

Took a close up picture of 3 rattlesnakes in a box - with a flash, mates legged it.

 

it was while working in central Brasil, the guy had them in a glass fronted hutch style box but unknown to me as I went to take the picture the guy removed the glass to prevent a reflextion

 

also went hunting one evening with the locals, we split up & I was given a little shotty & 3 home load carts, suddenly the game was reversed - I was the hunted. Walking along a river bank on my own looking out for giant crocs, looking down for snakes, heard a pack of wolves in front then heard a group of wild boar behind - couldn't climb a tree for tree snakes so hid as they walked by. The experience of dissapearing in the jungle suddenly lost its appeal - so walked into the local cowboy town to find a bar.

Hi All

13-14 me and a couple of mates aquired an old pedalo and we decided to pedal out to sea, on board we had a huge boulder in a piece of old fishing net tied to a length of rope, out we went till we reached marker bouys for lobster pots pick up boulder jump overboard plummet to the bottom take lobster out of pot let go of net, rise to surface move to next pot. Once we had enough lobsters and crabs ashore to sell them to any body who would buy them(including my old man) We did this fairly regularly anyway one day i had just sufaced and we looked up and bearing down on us was large fishing boat with one very red faced angry (furious in fact) fisherman,any way he hauled us into his boat he then pulled our boulder into his boat and promptly dropped it back into the pedalo and sank it

 

16 decided to go lamping one night me and my mate with shotguns another mate had morris 1000 rag top, any way at 3 in the morning we managed to put it nose first in to a bunker we didn't have permission to be there, we had borrowed the shotguns from my mates dad without him knowing, my mate reported his car nicked the next morning suprisingly we got away scott free with that one

 

About 23 but mentally about 14, in the army on exercise in Germany 4 of us decided to have a few beers in a country pub but we decided it was not a good idea to take our personal weapons into the pub with us nor was it a good idea to leave them outside in the landrover so a short distance away through a gateway was a little wood so we covered them with leaves and went to the pub, 2 or 3 hours later went back to pick up our gats 2xslr 2xsmg back to wood and we couldn't find them. As you can imagine for a while it was a case of "don't panic capt mainwairing" anyway back to the pub and we retraced our steps and we found we had gone through the wrong gateway so we picked up our gats and returned to location but it was really strange to find we had instantly sobered up

Cheers Geordie

i've done alot of stuff i would'nt want to mention as a teenager.

 

but about 5/6 years ago(i'm 34 now) me and a mate were playing a couple of *****'s at pool for money.i used to be pretty good(not now B) ).anyway i'd pretty much cleared up on my turn and i'd only got a long diaganol pot on the black left.my mate (don't really know why) decided to pull a moony over the pocket and spread his cheeks revealing his 'rusty bullet hole'.'right then' i thought,i lent forward and proceeded to shove the pool cue about 3" up it to my mate's complete shock and disgust(going off his facial expression and blood curdling scream ).after he jumped clear of the table :yp: i potted the black picked the money up and waved the cue under one of the *****'s nose's

Went for a bike ride with my mate on the back - came into a bend far too fast. So with one leg over the tank I was off - I always remember seeing him still sitting on the back of the bike after it hit the kerb, turning it up-side down and flying through a hedge - bike was fine

 

being an ex biker, soon to return, this had me crying every time I read it,

 

 

one nasty thing we would do as kids, playing pranks on people, in the 6 weeks holiday we would be sent off to play over "wanstead flats" lots of grass and cows, so we'd lift a bit of fresh cow pat, then go find a telephone box, and fill the outside cupped handle up, then the ear piece of telephone, sit on wall oposite and watch people using the phone, had us in tears watching them smell their fingers, wipe it off, then put reciever to their eye :yp:

 

 

another time (15yrs) me and a mate had a CB radio in his garden shed, with around 40ft of extension lead, one night it wouldent turn on, so he asked me to go back into house and switch off plug, so he could probe the shed end with a screwdriver, a little voice told me to lie, thumbs up that power was off, next second, big blue flash inside the shed, and my mate running out clutching his hand/arm, B) well I thought it was funny anyway

[MM]

There is one thing that i shudder at the thought of doing as a kid. PLAYING ON THE TRAIN TRACKS. As im now in the industry, and get to see what effect a 90 ton train has on the human body, please ***, make sure your kids stay away from the tracks. Summer hols is the busiest time for this.

Whilst living in Shetland as a 7 year old, a friend of mine and I found an abandoned quarry which was in the next valley across from where we lived. We knew we wouldn't be allowed up there if we told our parents, so he told his old dear he was at mine, I told mine I was at his and off we went. 1pm in January we walked up there and decided to play on the ice. After gaining a bit of confidence on the outside edges, we ventured in to the middle and began to walk to the far side which didn't have a bank, but a massive stone face where it had been excavated in to the hill face. As we got over there we found a hole in the ice where it had thinned and decided to see how cold the water was.

 

There was a massive crack, and the ice gave way, so in we both went. Both in wellies, jeans, heavy coats and the water being bitterly cold - me just out of armbands in swimming lessons and my mate unable to swim at all made it very very hard to get out and we ended up paddling to the edge and holding on to the stone face as a huge part of the ice had broken up and we couldn't make it back to where it was still solid without it.

 

Not only were we soaked and freezing, it had become dark, windy and we still had a few miles to get home but we managed it just as our parents were getting ready to ring the RAF Search And Rescue team (dad was RAF) having realised we had lied about what we were doing. Dad stripped me down and put me in the bath and I remember screaming and thrashing around as the water was burning me, only to be pinned down and told the bath was filling with cold tap water. Eventually managed to get my temperature back up, had a few days in bed as a result and I regularly get reminded/ told off for it by my old dear, even though it was 19 years ago!!

 

Very lucky to survive that one!

got my (slow) mate to sit on the bonnet of my fiesta while i drove around so he could shoot the rabbits, he wasnt hitting many so the lad sat next to me told him to pass the gun and he would hand him the other and hopefully get more, anyway he passed the gun thru the passenger window and i floored it, he was pinned against the windscreen trying to grab the wipers so he didnt fall off (we didnt pass him the other gun so he had nothing in his hands!), it was a very dry day and the ground is very sandy, like driving through a desert, he was coughing and spluttering as i floored it around the farm tracks at some ridiculous speeds, my little 1.6 festa was a rocket, i finally decided to give up and slowed to a nice speed and he got sat up rite, lots of swearing and threats were coming at us so i floored it again to shut him up, as i floored it the passenger thought it would be a good idea to yank the handbrake and pull the steering wheel down, i have never seen a boy fly so far and fast, he was very lucky he had no broken bones, we all still have a good laugh about it when we meet for a beer
