One of my two best friends growing up was a real jerk, did all kinds of stupid stuff growing up and constantly got pissed off at everyone he knew. For some reason it seemed like I was the only person he would listen to when he was about to do something really stupid. Despite that he would often cross the line and we would get into fights and not speak for months sometimes.

Finally he did something I thought was so outrageous and offensive to me at the time that I stopped speaking to him forever. He killed himself a few years later and I felt horrible when I learned of it a few years after that; he was cocky, emotional and self-centered but didn't deserve to be abandoned by his friends. I don't think he ever really understood the gravity of the crap he would pull on people or the severity of how it affected our lives but none of us ever really tried to show him.

In the 2000 presidential election, I voted for George W. Bush.

Well, I know it's the principal of the matter but it's not like changing your vote would have affected the election. Unless you thought they might have counted it a few hundred thousand times, which I guess they might have.

I think my story is number 2, I am pretty sure the neighbors called the cops.

Mailboxes are airtight and in vacuum over there?

No, but they are attached to Oxygen tanks.

Pay very close attention......what?

Combustion requires Oxygen, you plank. A sensible person (try to at least meet me halfway here) would assume that a nearly closed box would not have enough exposure to supply enough oxygen to oxidize the fire.

Again....what?

A candle will burn with even the tiniest air gap in the container covering it. The letterbox will have more than enough oxygen in it to burn on a low level. I doubt it would turn into an inferno, but flames are a definite.

Yeah, I refrain, you are right; it would be an incendiary device.

That was too easy, what's the catch?

[mymnarorump]

Now, go away.

[derty]

Now, go away.

I know you were taking the piss, but you're usually cleverer about it. You go away.

[mymnarorump]

Is it "taking a piss" or "having a piss"?

[OlgaBorovikovva]

Now, go away.

Oh damn that's funny! ah...

[LesLattis]

I can't really think of anything terrible I have done that's worth posting, but this one's mildly funny...

Like everyone else when I was a teenager I'd hang out after drinking talking loudly, and we'd usually gather at this guy's house and sit on his wall (not anyone we knew). It was about 4 feet tall and about 12 feet long. He used to come out, whatever time, and yell at us for doing it - some grumpy old guy.

So one night, we decided to dismantle the entire wall (there were some loose bricks at one end) and rebuild it right outside of his front door. The hardest thing was to not wake him up with all the giggling, but we got cement, some fresh bricks and everything, and rebuilt it at about 3:00am one Sunday morning. We even left a dummy invoice and charged him ten pounds... my only regret is that we couldn't be there to see it when he first opened the door.

The police got involved, but they were just stiffling laughs and obviously couldn't wait to get to the station and tell everyone about it. I still laugh now, thinking about it... and that was 21 years ago.

When I was about 13 and my sister was 7, our family spent the holidays on Ibiza. So my sister and I went to the pool and spent the afternoon there. I cant remember why, but I started throwing a tennis ball at her. She started crying (because it obviously hurt) so I threw it again and again. Hit her legs, her stomach, her head, her back and so on. And I threw really hard. She didnt ran away, just looked at me crying and begged me to stop. Eventually I let her go. When my mom asked about all her black and blue marks she said some kids from the other hotel did it.

To this day I dont know why I did this. Never before and never after that incident did I hurt a child again. And it brings tears to my eyes when I type it right now. It breaks my heart everytime I think about it and I hate myself for it.

Interestingly she kinda forgot about it, never mentioned it again. And years later, when I wanted to talk to her about it she just said "oh dont mind it"... dunno, it left a black spot in my heart. Today we have a great relationship and I support her whereever I can (she's at Uni right now), but I cant forget that.

Gawd I need to go to the bath room.

I think the only thing I actually feel bad about is dumping my girlfriend for her cousin when I was 17. That was 13 years ago and they still haven't spoken since. The only person who has suffered in anything else I have experimented with has been myself and I can live with that.

[Acalsenunse]

Hard to think of anything comparable to your stories, but one thing was when I was just a kid, maybe ten years old or so.

I lived in the countryside my childhood and we had a distant relative living about a few kilometers from our house. I used to go there sometimes to read some Donald Duck comics. Once I went there after a long time and nobody seemed to be home so I thought what to do. Their frontyard has a steep hill and there was a tractor at the center of the yard, parked to the upper part of the hill facing downwards. I thought to try sitting and playing about driving the tractor. I pushed and pulled everything I could get my hands on and freaked out when the tractor started to slowly roll down the hill. I tried my best to stop the tractor but to no avail. When I noticed that it was heading straight towards an electricity pole in the middle of the slope I jumped off and saw the tractor colliding with it, the wooden pole now in an all new position.

That's when I decided to get away with my bike and never come back. Don't ask why I didn't steer it away, I really don't know. I confessed this later on if I remember right but it took some time.

Worst thing I ever did, huh...

One thing springs to mind.
I must've been 17... had this new GF... who was very possessive... and I didn't know better by then.

So here I was, my parents had gone out that night, left me the care of my little sister (6 years younger than me) for the evening. When she was asleep, I left the house and went to spend the night with my GF.

Needless to say my dad was furious at me the next day. He was trusting me and I just buggered off to screw that girl.

What a dumb@ss I was.

11, your sister was fine. I'd have given my son a medal.

1) Dumped my then Girlfriend for her Sister... then wound up sleeping with their mother. (Divorced *before* said incident).

2) This one I still feel bad about, I used to work outdoors at a factory doing maintenance work as a summer job in highschool. I smashed my hand in a way that hurt so bad you need to hit something to release the pent up anger of doing something so dumb. Well.... the first object I turned to kick happened to be a stray kitten wandering near the edge of the platform I was working on. That little guy musta gone 20 feet from the force of my kick... and I was wearing steel toed boots.

[cl004]

I was probably about 11 and I sprayed Windex (window cleaner) in my 5 year old brothers face while he slept. I dont remember why I did it but I really regret it still. I confessed to my mom and she made me wash my bros eyes out. Thats about as bad as I got. I never hurt small animals or anything aside from the random bird me and my friends would pick off with BB guns.

Worst thing I ever did happened when I was 21.

I was living in Austin, TX at the time and me and a few of my friends decided to go hit up 6th street for a few drinks and what not.

Anyways, after hitting up a few bars and getting pretty tossed, we were walking around and decided to take a shortcut through one of the alley ways. We were walking through it and this homeless dude started talking to us just saying some really stupid and hard to understand things. Going on about stuff that didn't exist and saying we were wasting our lives, etc etc. Just wierd stuff.

Well, for some reason I was in a pretty mean mood. I don't usually get that way but something just rubbed me the wrong way. Things escalated and I ended up beating up this poor homeless dude. My friends had to pull me off of him. Some guys noticed what was going on as they walked but so we just started running. After we got a few blocks away I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said 'Fresh' and had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could tell that this cab was rare but I thought nah forget it, yo home to Bel-Air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby 'Yo, homes smell you later' I looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
Oh, and nothing about the homeless guy is true. Made that up.
