Stupid things you did as a kid

[Stocka]

I remember I got so scared at night when I was young that I would have to leave the light on when I went to sleep and repeatedly say to myself "there's no such thing as monsters" :woops: :heh:

[Tellyn]

I thought when I was thinking that people could see a thought bubble over my head and read my every thought. :rolleyes:

[Sarka]

I remember I got so scared at night when I was young that I would have to leave the light on when I went to sleep and repeatedly say to myself "there's no such thing as monsters" :woops: :heh:

I hid under the covers and shook til I slept. :)

I always used to go outside in the rain with my t-shirt on, no wonder I was always ill.

[Stocka]

I use to run around my garden for hours playing football on my own, pretending I was in a real match and was the whole team.Had two goals set up and everything and acted as if it was all real.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I used to pretend i was a pop/rock star. I even recorded myself on tape singing various songs that were big at the time. Very, very embarassing stuff! I hope those tapes aren't still in the house.:red:

[Letty]

I used to impale dead flies on a cactus.

Hehe, that's funny, anyway, me and my cousins in Pakistan, (where houses are frickin massive) we used to run off to this abandoned cornfield near our house and there was this one massive tree that was like the grail to climb, anyway, one day, we found a couple of absolutely filthy matresses in a shack nearby and stacked them underneath this tree, and took turns climbing it and then jumping down onto the matress from like a 30-40 feet drop (I dono, it sure seemed that way because we were so small), unfortunately my cousin landed on his feet, slipped and cracked his ankle, and we had to carry him home which was a bitch because it was like a mile away, and the whole time he was crying and screaming like hell, and in the end we had to say that he fell down a manhole lol (and I think they believed us), because they would kill us if they found out what we were really doing. We were 5 or 6 at the time I think. Then next year I moved to this rancid hellhole you call endland. Damn. Those were the good old days *nostalgic smile*...Although thinking about it, it sure was lucky we didn't impale ourselves on the matress springs...

[Athriller]

I used to lick bricks. I would go out of my way, to get to buildings, and lick their bricks. I was also the popular kid, and knew people from all the years. This meant that licking bricks soon gathered a following, and I had my very own cult. A cult that would look forward to simply, licking bricks.

Never again.

[Sarka]

I used to pretend i was a pop/rock star. I even recorded myself on tape singing various songs that were big at the time. Very, very embarassing stuff! I hope those tapes aren't still in the house.:red:

I used to record radio shows (sarkas_girly say nothing, or else :heh:) and I pretended I was a TV presenter. I had 3 studios and one of them closed down. It was a sad sad day.

[MunKy]

I used t pretend I was Mario and jump around like a fucking loony. It didnt last long. Though it is fun being a kid and not even thinking wbout what you look like when you do stupid things.

[The3rdChildren]

Let's see here.

- Climbed on the back of the local milk float and jumping off as it sped along the road.

- Threw an innocent kid's shoe down the drain.

- Threw Ghostbusters toys down the drain in the hope they would come out of the toilet.

- Rearranged the letters on my Commodore 64 (I think it was one) keyboard alphabetically.

- Mean to my brother, who used to want to hang out with me and my friends but I told him he couldn't. Now he's infinitely cooler than I am.

- Stopped caring about school and emerged from it a complete failure.

- Started using the Internet and going on chat a lot.

- Mistreated hamsters, resulting in their deaths.



My God, the list just goes on and on. I add to the "stupid things I've done" list almost daily.

[McMad]

When i was 8-10 i must have spent about £400+ on Pokemon cards.

Then in the beginning of Year 7 people started playing Yu-Gi-Oh in my year, thank God it died before I spent too much.

[Tellyn]

I spent god-awful loads of money on those Pokemon cards too. Then they got banned at my school and the craze died out.

[spirited away]

Spent way too much on Yugi -Oh, pokemon and crazy bones...

[Tellyn]

But then again, I remember Tazos distinctly! Tazos were the greatest thing ever!

[spirited away]

But then again, I remember Tazos distinctly! Tazos were the greatest thing ever!
What are Tazos?!?!

[Arragaun]

They were like Pogs, only with Taz on them. I had more Pogs than Tazos, cause crisps were banned in my house.

[Tellyn]

Tazo's didn't have Taz on them! They were little disks that had images from Star Wars, Pokemon or other franchises on.

[Charlie]

What are Tazos?!?!

You used to get them in Watsits (the cheesy crisp-like things).

[Tellyn]

Yep, and Walker's crisps. I think they were stopped because they were in among the crisps. I almost ate Luke Skywalker. :rolleyes:

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Me and my friend made a small parachute, and strapped in on to a cat. It didnt fly very long though.

[Eddage]

I use to run around my garden for hours playing football on my own, pretending I was in a real match and was the whole team.Had two goals set up and everything and acted as if it was all real.

I used to do the exact same thing - don't feel so stupid now!

I remember after the 94 (I think) cup final when United beat Chelsea 4-0 I went outside and replayed the match with myself, even though it was absolutely tipping down with rain!

[Kurtle Squad]

The Pokémon card thing only really died down because of the summer holidays of 2000...there was not as much activity due to that, so it went downhill. That's what I believe anyway, since it's what happened :heh:

[demonmike04]

Think lego land was cool..its SHITE

[AshMat]

I couldnt sleep after watching Charlie and the chocolate factory because i thought i was going to turn into a blueberry

[Mr_Odwin]

Maybe you have and everyone's too polite to say.

[Mokong X-C]

I once (actually it was twice) stuck something into the top part of a 3pin plug socket so it opened up the two below.

I proceeded to stick two pieces of metal into them and then grabbed them to see what would happen....yes i was electrocuted, no i wasn't injured or knocked out or anything, it only lasted for about a second before i left go.

I think the first time i did this i was 8, then i did it again when i was 11... and yes i did still have the memory of the first time i did it when i did it the 2nd time.

although, i can't remember why i thought it was a good idea or why i did it again 3 years later knowing what would happen :heh:

[Dieter]

I used to have a podcast.

[Stefkov]

i used to sit on my wardrobe, for no reason i just liked it up there.
i was standing on a little ledge in the ukrainian club, the part which has burnt down, but there was a fire alarm, and we were saying i can put my leg higher than you, then i kicked the fire alarm.
theres probably loads more

[Nucleus]

Another Charlie and the Chocolate Factory related incident: Putting chewing gum behind my ear to save it for later. Not a good idea. It got stuck in my hair and it took a lot of hair pulling to get it all out...

[Bluejay]

Me and my friend made a small parachute, and strapped in on to a cat. It didnt fly very long though.
I laughed at that.

I say something if I could remember anything further than last week. I have an awful memory.

[Shoe]

I used to masturbate to Dragon Ball Z

[The Bard]

As did I....? Ok, you take the prize for the single most disturbing user on RE. Congratulations!

[KKOB]

throw a rusty hook at my friend because she passed this line-i was listening to my other friend who i blindly did the bidding of at the time. anywho i warned her twice not to come closer btu she did so i chucked it at her and it hit her square in the forehead-smack bang betwen her eyes!!!

she was bleeding so bad from it!!! she is now scarred for life because of me!!! lol

i was about 7 at the time though-and it was a stupidly amazing shot a lil more either way and she only have one eye today.

[triforcemario]

I used to record Radio shows on a cassete player giving tips how to react if a ghost comes into your room.





Please, don't ask.

[MunKy]

I used to masturbate to Dragon Ball Z

:laughing: best post ever :laughing:

[Stocka]

Well if it was over Videl or Bulma or someone than fair enough...but i'm assuming it wasn't :heh:

[Mokong X-C]

Well if it was over Videl or Bulma or someone than fair enough...but i'm assuming it wasn't :heh:


Or if it were one of those Dragonball X hentai::shrug:

got caught on a pokemon chat room, where the teacher then decided to announce it to the class, i wasnt embrassed then. in fact, im fucking proud

Too right, Pokemon ruleZ

[Blue_Ninja0]

When i was a small little piece of human meat i decided i had to defecate in my house's carpet, and then proceeded to spread it with my hands.

And i also tried to analyse the interior of my old VCR putting a toothbrush in the VHS slot.

[somme]

I remember I got so scared at night when I was young that I would have to leave the light on when I went to sleep and repeatedly say to myself "there's no such thing as monsters" :woops: :heh:

After watching Gremlins 1 and 2 at the age of 4 I slept with the light on for quite a while.

But I suppose that's why not much scares me any more.

[The3rdChildren]

After watching Gremlins 1 and 2 at the age of 4 I slept with the light on for quite a while.

Gremlins is the best movie ever.

[Zell]

Watching the south park movie at the age of 9, my teacher was quite disturbed when she heard me call my a friend a "donkey raping shit eater".

[Roostophe]

Swearing in front of me own mother when I was 6. Man, did that hurt!

[Caris]

I gave a hot Iron a high 5 when i was 4 the night before i went to gran-caneria (sp) on holiday...

Lovely hospital visit.

[gaggle64]

I once went through a weird period where I was convinced that the world was going to end. Not tommorow or anything you understand, but I got convinced I would be forced to witness it within my own lifetime after reading a Focus science magazine article, which totally terrified me. I now accept the fact that it could happen at any moment anyway. I seem to recall being pretty messed up in general. Weird times, weird times.

[Arragaun]

it could happen at any moment anyway.
What sort of apocalypse are we talking about here?

[|Laguna|]

I can't believe how stupid I was when I was a kid. I played these really kiddy videogames... can't remember the name...

Something like Ninpento?

[Daniel]

i remember me and a mate used to play road rash on the mega drive and record ourselves on a tape player commentating on it :S

[Bluejay]

Gremlins is the best movie ever.
He speaks the same truth I speak.

[Mundi]

When i was in 3rd or 4rd grade me and my class mates thought it would be really fun to start throwing rocks at the school (it was a seperate building with some plastic thing covering it so every rock left a mark) and i saw a shoe on top of the building and i thought it would be brilliant idea to use a big rock to get the shoe of the building, i ended up breaking a double-glass window and noone beleived my noble story of trying to saving the shoe :nono:

[Flaight]

Not so much a kid or that long ago I must say but I used to pull up girls skirts at school, and in some cases pull down their underwear. I did that on and off between the age of, like 6 to 13, to girls who did something annoying to me so as far as I was concerned it was justified. Looking back I was such a twit back then. I got a few cautions from the house master. Some girls really hated me for it and one girl I met last year still held grudge against me for exposing her in the class.

[Cubechris]

When I was 3, I placed a Jam Sandwich into a a VCR player and hit Play.

It was a good show. My mother really brought across the anger well.

[Ford Prefect]

i kicked someones teeth out at play time when i was 10 :P

dropped a 4 pint bottle of milk on its side on the kitchen work top and redecorated the kitchen in milk. it was even hanging off the artex on the ceiling!

when i was 5 i managed to get hold of some spray paints and had a go at respraying my pedal massy furgason tractor. ended up spraying my wellies and trousers too!

[Babooo]

I was quite sensible as a kid. The only stupid thing I did was to steal some 1 penny sweets from the newsagents...I was around 7 or 8.

[Ford Prefect]

i saved the stealing till adulthood :P
stuff like tins of paint and paint brushes, tubes of caulk, bags of filler and the such like. from work or college.
got a nice stockpile of wood taken from old shipping crates from work here. no one gonna miss them so they ended up here. already made a nice chair out of some....

[Strider]

when i was in the lower years at primary school my friend put a piece of string in his mouth so i ran up to him and pulled it, ending up with him pulling his tooth out.
Also, me and two other friends found loads of heavy duty tape and those poly filler tubes which we stuck the tape to the road then stuck the tubes to the tape, as we thought a car would get stuck then spin out of control....it didnt work however it did make a few cars stop (not because of the tape) a old guy got out and told us to pick them up so we just ran off.
Finally i also used to do that voice recording thing which i copied from Home Alone 2 where he record his voice, rings the hotel and books a room. However i didnt do it to hotels just typed in random telephone numbers.
