Thinking back on your childhood, what can you think of that were some of the most stupid, and idiotic things you did in your childhood or adolesence? I can think of a few things off the top of my head.
Probably the number one most moronic thing I use to do was in Junior High School study hall. That, of course, was the time to do work, or get help with any problems we had with our work from either our homeroom or study hall teachers. Brainiac me, being the intelligensia idiot I was at that time, would drive the study hall teacher nuts by refusing to do my work, and often end up in the Vice Principal's office being lectured by him, or in detention for acting like an moron in study hall. Instead of doing my work, I came up with an assanine saying that my best friend of 23 years still remembers, because we were in the same study hall. I would put my feet up on the desk, and repeat over and over:" It's time to waste time", therby drawing negative attention to myself, and annoying everyone.
Another stupid thing I used to do as a kid. As I've mentioned on here before, I used to have a baseball game called Microleague when I was an adolescent, that I had for my old IBM computer. I had a good friend from summer camp from NJ who I remained friends with for many years. I would call this friend 2-3 times a week, and, during the course of the conversation, both of us would boot up the Microleague game while we were on the phone, and provide play by play accounts of our respective games to each other, thus driving my parents nuts, because I was wasting their money talking about a stupid computer game. One night, one of my friends' friends called my house at 3am and got my father on the phone, talking about "recruiting for Microleague" and then hung up. My father got so pissed at me, because he felt that I was so obessessed with the game, that he actually took it away from me for a few days, until my friend called and admitted it was one of his friends playing a sick prank.
One more idiotic childhood habit: When I was about ten, we had this novelty shop that sold these things called popppers where you would throw a small white thing on the ground that was shaped like an oval, with an end on it, and the thing would make a loud noise. A friend of mine came up with the idea of making bigger poppers out of those by removing the material that caused the popping sound from the white covering, putting what amounted to a whole box of popper interior things into a tissue, and, as a car rode by, throw it on the street to create a loud noise, and make someone think their tire blew out! Several times we had poor unsuspecting drivers stop in their tracks by doing this.
My most idiotic childhood prank is something I may have mentioned on here before, but I dont recall, so I'll post it again. One time when I was about 10, I had gone trick or treating with the same friend who I had the popper incidents with. Myself, this friend, and a couple other boys came up with the bright idea of smashing people's pumpkins on their doorsteps. A few times, we were smart, swiping the pumpkins and smashing them either in the woods, or on the road. This one time, we got a little too cocky. First we smashed a pumpkin at a house, and then like 5 minutes later had the audacity to go back, and ask the owner for candy. We had left the smashed pumpkin on the owner's front walk, and when he answered the door, we innocently stated how unfortunate it was that someone had smashed his pumpkin. As we got off his doorstep, my friend turned and looked at the guy, and said:" We did it! We did it!", and then we all took off. Next thing we knew, we were being chased for a bit by the owner, who had this seemingly long garden hose, and he tried to spray us with it, but we got away.
So, those are a few of the idiotic incidents and pastimes of my childhood and adolescence. Does anyone else have any stories? I'd be very interested to hear. Thanks.
