Stupid Stuff I did as a Teenager……..

[Warlock1]

We also did the Christmas light thing as well. Started with just grabbing some bulbs and then we took the whole damn string.
Pop-its were a thing back then. We would hide in my buddies bushes by the road and throw them at cars. Right up until some guy locked his brakes up and chased us down.
Pulled a bunch of landscaped flowers from the town Square round a bout where we cruised at. I ended up passing them out to the girls cruising that night. That was a good night...lol

 

[Paradox]

Christmas time in the trailer park was fun. At the time, everyone had large bulb-type lights strung up on their trailers. During our nightly shenanigans, we would steal 15 or 20 bulbs and then throw them as far as we could across the park. Well, as you can imagine, trailer awnings made out of aluminum versus large Christmas bulbs make a very loud distinct pop and rattle as they break and roll down the awnings.

We would run and hide in the bushes nearby to watch a bunch of pissed-off people come out and look around. Then they would go in and we would do it again. It was all fun and games until the cops came and brought that stupid helicopter (lol). To this day, I have no idea how I evaded capture. I know the cop checking the bushes from the street with his spotlight had to have seen me. Perhaps he mistook me for a critter, but thank God I got away cuz my mom would have beat my ass. Evading capture, we of course waited 2-3 days before doing it again. I was a little shit lol.

25 plus years ago, kids stole dozens of bulbs from our outside tree. It happened two nights in a row. Before the third night. I smeared goey dog shit on the back side of a few of the lowest hanging ones. The following morning, two bulbs were taken off but were sitting nearby in the grass. Never had a problem again.

 

[Cray Paper]

Back in the mid to late 80's the Sacramento county's sheriff department always had a helicopter in the air. I was about 17 YO at the time and was on a mission to kill a tom cat with my pellet gun with a scope on it around 10:00pm one night and one of the neighbors called the cops. Next thing I knew the pigs in space had their spotlight on me and I bolted. It took about 2 hours but I outran the helicopter and multiple patrol cars and made it back to home without getting caught.

Have so many other "experiences" with LEO's from that time but not willing to share at this time.

 

[C-Ya]

As I said when I started this thread that I will have several posts……..

Here is my funny Law Enforcement story. (The brief version)

I threw a party so HUMONGOUS in high school, that I had to call the Police…….. On MYSELF

I was charging $2 for guys and $1 for girls. Live Band. 10 Kegs. I made the call shortly after counting my door money and realizing, that I have collected over $1800 at the door. I had an honest 1000 attendees ranging from 12 to 18 years old. Approx 40 of these individuals were incapable of leaving my backyard, because they were fully passed out. There were bicycles and skateboards everywhere, just to paint at picture.

Needless to say the party had gotten completely out of hand. Total Chaos would be an accurate description. I could not fit one more body on the property, and still had a line at the front door. Since I had talked to all the neighbors earlier in the day, nobody called the police. I had unplugged the house phones, so I had to knock on my neighbors door and ask to borrow the phone, so I could report my party to authorities. It took them forever to get there! lol

The only people that knew what I had done, was girlfriend and best friend.

My Dad was at Parker.

The house was a disaster!

gotta run

 

[SoCalDave]

Small town Tennesse the fog would get so thick at night in the spring you could cut it with a knife...couldn't see 15 feet in front of you walking much less driving like normal cause you knew the road. Shopping carts on hand and placed in the path...a car hitting that thing at even 30mph was loud as shit. We'd LOL but they couldn't see where we were.

 

[The Prisoner]

gonna ride ride a quad through the mall just to see what kind of response it brings.

During my college days, we would put flyers up around campus to advertise our house party. We called them the “Cum Freak Parties” . We would buy 1 keg and charge at the door, when the keg ran out we would call the cops to break it up. Usually collected about $1000 I about 3 hours.

 

[HTTP404]

This one won't get me in trouble.
We used to have BB gun "wars" in the riverbed. Headshots were not allowed but always devolved into full out sniping. Some face shots happened but no direct eye shots thankfully.

 

[Mandelon]

I made a cardboard stencil that said DISCO.

I painted it into every STOP sign within a mile.

STOP DISCO. LOL. Still cracks me up.

We stole all the room numbers and the bells from school on the last day of summer. The first day of class was chaos. No one knew where to go or when to do it.

 

[Sherpa]

Ghost riding shopping carts at the Kmart parking lot.

Using my friends dads pickup, reach out the window, grab the front of the cart and drive up to about 70 then release it into parking curbs.

Shopping carts can and do really fly!

Lawn jobs of those we didn’t like.

Stealing Christmas light bulbs to shoot with
Wristrocket sling shots.

Drifting through just irrigated walnut orchards.

Buy the cheapest laundry detergent huge box you can afford, dump it all into the city hall fountain

[Nordie]

One night me and 2 of my cousins are sitting in my truck bed drinking beer, mind you we're underage. So we are sitting in front of one of my cousins house and a car rolls into his cul-de-sac with a cop car following him.

The car pulls all the way to the back of the cul-de-sac, and a dude jumps out of a stolen car and takes off. My cousin offers the cop a ride because his squad car was pretty far away, he opens the door to my cousins truck and beer cans fall out. They took off and caught the guy, but at the same time the cops pistol fell out of his holster. My other cousin and I were standing right there. My cousin picked up the pistol and we returned it to said officer after the chase.

I couldn't believe how quick there was so many squad cars and the helo showing up.

Anyway those cops were cool as hell

 

[TonyFanelli]

Another was string fishing line across La Palma 2 feet or so off the ground with 3 or 4 cans tied on each end. Car snags it at 50mph and starts dragging it and they would pull over thinking something is wrong with their car. We called that one "Just got Married" hahahaha.

Holy shit! Did the same thing. Also tied garbage cans to neighbors cars...
I'm sure alot of us did the Ole car surfing, I still got scars from that!
Used to get in fake fights as cars drove by, a variety of peoples reactions to them.

 

[farmo83]

We came up with a game we called CAR TAG. It didn't end well.

 

[OkHallett270]

One of my classmates had a huge Chevy conversion van for a first car. We could load 10 people into that thing in living room like comfort. Then we would bomb it down the side streets in my town and smack plastic dumpsters with it. If you timed the brake input and hit just right those dumpsters would go a long way! Making a huge mess as they flew! The shocks were totally wiped out on that thing so it was bouncing around everywhere as we smashed the whole towns trash cans. It’s was a fun ride in the captains chairs in the back! Good times.

 

[GreenEnergy28]

WOW people! You all should be ashamed of yourselves!

 

[dread Pirate]

No baseball bats and mailbox stories? Oh well. Carry on….

Not me but a guy I knew used to do that up until someone got tired of it and filled their new mailbox with concrete. Bat bounced back and took out the back window of the car. Few months later he got ahold of a m1000 from Mexico and leveled the same mailbox. Guess he had a feud with the guy?

 

[jesco]

My buddies dad was a well known Captain in OCFD and had a bright yellow VW van he used to do a pool service on his days off... He stopped doing it and the van was just sitting. He told his son to go out and run it for a little while since it had been sitting.. "Go do a few hot laps" was his last words... SO..... 5 of us jumped in and went over to Esperanza HS and saw the fence was open to the track/football field (clay track at the time). We all got on the drivers side of the van and Tommy started doing 'hot laps" around the track. The sliding door pops open and now we all have a full view of how sideways we were taking the turns, full drift in a van as fast as it would go. After about 5 or 6 laps we come into turn 2 back by the fence and we see the lights.... 2 cop cars sitting there. We all shit our pants... Tommy slows up and drives up to them. They had to try hard to stop laughing and try to act serious and pissed. Apparently they were right behind us as we rolled though the gate and watched the whole show until around lap 5 and decided to hit the lights. When they saw the van was registered to big Jim they luckily let us go and said "But if the school calls about damages, we will have to get your dad involved". My step dad was head of maintenance and operations for PYLSD so I told him if he hears anything about it to bury the story, hahaha.

 

[Todd Mohr]

We may have tipped some porta potties over a time or 200, get down in the 3 point stance about 3 feet away and hit it as hard as you can. Good clean all American fun, plus we told coach we trained on Fri-Sat nights. Where I lived the houses were all on hill sides, you could get a good hit and the shitter would be 50 feet down the hill. What a mess I'm sure, damn we were assholes.

 

[rivermobster]

The teenagers who threw out the trash is what gave me the idea for this thread. I am sure we all have some dirty laundry.

I will have multiple posts in this thread. Mainly because I did a LOT of stupid stuff.

So here is my first confession……….

When I was 16, we used to drive around, shooting unsuspecting pedestrians with a fully charged Fire Extinguisher. We thought this was so funny. As fate would have it, I ended up blasting someone right in front of a Torrance Police Dept Officer, that I did not see. His first words to me, have stood out to me, my entire life……….. “Get out of the car, Pimple Dick”. He also took my fire extinguisher.

My funniest story is still to come…….

What is your teenage confession?

I have too many to count. Thinking back, it's hard to believe what a stupid dumb azz I was! I was always in some sort of trouble. But along the lines of your first post...

Me and my friend were in the back of my buddies Luv Truck. We were lighting fire crackers, and throwing them at people walking down the side walk as my friend slowly drove by them.

Apparently one dude was just standing by his car, and after he jumped out of his skin, he jumped in his car and came after us!!!

Holy shit he was PISSED, and I thought we were gonna get our ass beat to shit.

Luckily my friend driving lost the guy. It was funny as fuck, till it wasn't!



We also did the fishing line across the street deal. Super fun.

And throwing red berries at cars that drove by. I have a Huge scar on my leg from that one.

More to come...

 

[Familyties]

We found out in chemistry class about mixing iodine crystals and ammonia together to make contact explosives Good ole days in school.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

We discovered mixing a few powders together created flash powder, and when wrapped tightly in paper with a fuse, was more explosive.

Nobody can say we weren’t paying attention in chemistry. I think our teacher even mentioned the formula as an example.

 

[RiverDave]

I had the Anarchists Cookbook at age 12. I'm not admitting shit on a public forum.

That and the poor man James Bond 1-3 and others.. . lol.

 

[checkrdpast]

A friend and I used to put rocks in people's cars hub caps. Or hide behind bushes and drag a stuffed animal across the street with fishing line.

oh yeah, did the drag the animal across the street too,

 

[Bajastu]

Oh hell no. If the stuff my friends and I did were out in the open, we would be convicted even 20+ years later. That's what happens when you live in the same area as where you grew up. We never harmed any people but let's just say we have a criminal past that exceeds most fun filled pranks. There were times where we spent time in police cars, handcuffed on the side of the road, and commmunity service, but being friends since we were born, we don’t rat on each other.

Thank God there were no cell phones with cameras. We would be in more trouble than just being arrested, community service, and $50k + in fines. This was the one incident that we were caught on out of many…

9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing changed our thought process on playing with gun powder, ammonium nitrate, and fuel

We're all straight shooters now. Zero criminal activites.

 

[Crazyhippy]

Streaked a mall on a dare, then the homecoming football game...

 

[lakemadness]

Shit, where would I start... Not sure I even want to spend the time to list everything. Maybe a few highlights lol

The duck tape sticky side up on the road is cute... I did that around the age of 8 or 9.

By late '99 to late '01 I and four of five close friends were on a mission to capture people's reactions to our "pranks". Most of them we recorded with a small digital camera. For the era, it was a badass little camera, maybe the size of three iPhones stacked. Easily concealable lol. We ended up editing all the content and put together two VHS tapes. It was Jackass just before they blew up.

Baby car seat on the roof of the car with a doll in it, driving around the mall parking lot. Great reactions, a lot of people flipped out. A lot of em who probably didn't know they were capable of running ran full speed after us in hopes of stopping and saving the little baby.

During a big SoCal rain storm we drove a lifted suburban into and a long deep overflowing gutter that ran along a sidewalk throwing a huge wave of water out. Well 50 yards in front of us was a busy bus stop. Maybe 10-12 people standing there waiting for the bus. They had nowhere to go as there was a fence keeping them from backing away from the gutter and our impending wall of water headed their way. All they could do was hope we would pull out of the gutter before we got to them. We didn't. Freaking drenched em. There have been times I felt bad about that one.

I ran my Go-Ped through a packed bowling alley one night and also a mall. The Go-Ped ran on alky and had a big factory pipe, loud as a mother fucker inside a building. Ear piercing lol. Bowling alley staff running after me, again someone who probably didn't know they could run. No match for a 35mph go-ped though. lol.

Cabled a random parked car in a grocery store lot to a nearby tree. I think it was 1/4" cable hooked to the tow hook on the front bumped and wraped around the tree. Luckily the owner of the car somehow noticed it while the stashed their grocery cart in the planter at the front of the car where the tree was. They went in and got the store manager. Got it on tape and bounced out of there when we figured they were going to call the cops and look at surveillance footage. Probably a good thing they didn't pull way with the tree.

We would carry old tube tv's into Best Buy or through a crowded area and drop them right behind someone, just to get their reaction.

We had about a half dozen of us idiots head to the local fun-kart track one night. Once we all got out on the track we whipped them around and ran the track backward into oncoming karts. My buddy almost got decapitated by an employee swinging a large floor squeegee at him. This was before they could control the speeds electronically/remotely. It was a fuckin circus getting us all stopped. We all bailed and ran our asses off.

We all pooled our money and bought an old beater car, cut the roof off that bitch, painted it a bright look at me color and went to town with many pranks, running through construction sites, playing bowling with road cones, lawn jobs, jumping, you name it. No clue how we evaded cops in socal. We left it on the side of the road after a busted radiator.

We got industrial-sized saran wrap. Wrapped a few random cars in parking lots. I'm talking hundreds of feet, maybe 1,000 feet wrapped around the car. We'd sit back and hide in our car filming their reaction.

We collected a trash can full of golf balls from the local country club driving range one night. The next Sunday we went to one of the holes and waited for the next foursome to get on the green. We went out on the green just as the golfers were pulling up and we dumped all the balls onto the green where their balls were. Fuck we got chased a few times for that prank.

Of course all the typical beginner shit like toilet papering an enemies house with cases and cases of TP to the point you couldn't see the house. Like it was getting fumigated type covered up. Dog shit on door handles or on fire at the doorstep, Christmas lights, pumpkins, missing mailboxes and a lot of evading law enforcement lol.

These a are a few of the one that stick out, also ones that I feel ok about writing on the net lol. I'll probably think of some more and report back.

 

[DaveH]

here is a prank you can play right now.......

you need a long zip tie, generally about 18" will do it.

slide under your buddies truck and put the zip tie on the drive shaft. don't cut it.

 

[SeanRitchie]

In auto shop in high school, we learned that if you retarded the distributor, it would make your car have the backfire of a 44 Magnum. We would drive next to unsuspecting drivers and let off the gas, then POW. Again, we thought this was hilarious, but after a few cars went into full road rage on us, we stopped. ( before we got an ass kickin)

It’s funny…….. what I thought was funny, wasn’t so funny, once some crazy guy was breaking every traffic law trying to catch us.

I drove a crane truck around LA when I was 22-23. It was an early 90's GMC Top Kick with a 427 gas motor. The exhaust exit was right behind the cab, under the flatbed. You could wood it to 5000 then let off and it would backfire like a MFer! The echo chamber under the bed sounded like a 12g shotgun.

The best one was driving down one of the busy main streets in Hollywood one day, letting one rip, and watching about 20 people hit the deck simultaneously. About pissed my pants.

I took my CDL test in that same truck, and had to peddle the shit out of it to keep if from backfiring during the test. I had a lady as my certifier. I tried my best, but a small one let loose on the freeway during the test. She looked at me and asked what that was. I told her it must have come from the other side of the freeway. She bought it.

One of your stories reminds me of a prank we played on a friend...

I had borrowed his truck for someone (don't remember what) and my other friend I had with me, stopped by a 3rd friends work.

They had a HUGE machine there that did blister packing? The kind where you seal something to cardboard with plastic? I'm not sure if that's what it's called?

Anyhow...

We decided to take EVERYTHING out of my friends truck and blister pack it. All his cassettes, jumper cables, every single thing in his truck, and we did them all INDIVIDUALLY!

Needless to say, he was pissed.

 

[lakemadness]

Somehow a few of us obtained some Vons grocery store uniforms and "went to work" one day. LOL

We unloaded all of the bags of ice and a shit ton of frozen food and stacked it in the aisle. Several actual employees questioned what we were doing. "Manager told us to get rid of all the ice and food"

My buddy went and helped out bagging some groceries and acted like a total pile of shit. He could keep a straight face and act like he was meant to be there.

 

[lakemadness]

RDP loves water cannons, right?

We were rolling around one day bored as shit. So, we loaded up some super soakers. We'd pull up alongside a car at a stop light and ask them to roll their window down. Bnag! blasted in the face with water. How we didn't spray the wrong person and get our ass kicked or worse is beyond me.

 

[dread Pirate]

This happens a lot after-hours at dragstrips.

The best one I've seen by drunk drag racers was a golf cart on top of the guys trailer. No idea how they got it up there.

 

[PlanB]

I ran the Pettibone on our jobsites right after high school. My dad owned the company, and my uncle was the GC. we were building an apartment complex, and everyone decided to leave early for the day to go to a Padre game. That left me and a few of the younger guys at the jobsite. There were trails leading up to the hills behind the jobsite and I thought it would be fun to take the Pettibone off roading.

We loaded up on the bone and headed out into the hills. We came across three vehicles out in a field a couple of miles out from the jobsite. I thought they were abandoned vehicles because they were all old beat-up cars with weeds growing around them. We collectively decided it would be fun to see if the bone could monster truck over the cars.

Well, the bone did a great job of smashing the shit out of the cars. We then thought it would be fun to pick them up and put them up in some trees that were nearby. Everything was good until a guy showed up at the jobsite a few days later (he followed the bone's tracks back) and said the cars were his and he was saving them for parts.

That was my last time running the bone.

 

[Mandelon]

Remember the spiral wound notebooks with the long wire holding them together? When your book is done, there's this free wire. We wired rows of school lockers closed. If your locker was in the middle, you were gonna be late to class.

 

[FlatBottomGuy]

We called it "Nickel tapping" Take a band-aid and put a nickel with fishing line under the nickel on one of the sticky ends of the band-aid, sneak up to a house with a front living room window and stick the other sticky end to the window. Run the fishing line to our car parked across the street and put the line through a cracked window. Hiding in the car start pulling on the fishing line which would make the nickel start tapping on the window. People would run out of there house freaking out. It would get really good when they would find the band-aid and start chasing the fishing line back to the car. We got so cocky with it we would wait till they got a couple feet from the car before we would start it and get outta there.

 

[evantwheeler]

I wouldn't say these are funny now. But we used to do drive-by's w/paint ball guns on people riding bikes or walking in our neighborhood. Also used to egg passing cars. That all ended for me when my friends and I got chased down and I was unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) hit w/baseball bat.

I restored a '75 chevy in high school and it was a real nice pickup for a teenager. One night I was driving down front street and WHACK, something hit my drivers side door. I looked in the mirror and saw two kids jumping up and down on the sidewalk celebrating their direct hit. I immediately turned left and headed down the alley, but there was no chance of me finding or catching them. 3 days later, as I was opening my truck door after a workout at the YMCA, and I hear a voice say "that's the truck that chased us down the other night". I walk out in front of my truck and see two kids, and I grab one of the fuckers with both hands by the collar and interrogated him. Had to only be 11 or 12 years old. I had some choice words and tried to get him to admit what he had done, but he was stammering and stumbling and made up some lie. The next day, his mother and him were outside my truck waiting when I finished my workout. She started yelling to keep my hands off her son, I gave her my opinion on her job as a mother raising a shit head that throws rocks at a moving vehicle.....I wish I had a baseball bat for the both of them.

Damage from whatever they threw at me

We did dumb stuff as kids, but I can't remember ever stealing or vandalizing anyone's property, my parents would have skinned my ass.

 

[evantwheeler]

Someone hit us with an egg once, I suspect they had some sort of launcher as it left a dent in the side door of my mom's car. Me and my buddies went back to the house that we figured it came out of the backyard from and tossed a cinder block through their plate glass window. Then did it again 2 more times. Sure glad cameras weren't a thing back then. Years later, I began to wonder if it hadn't come from the school behind their house and we had broken out the window of some random stranger on 3 occasions.

Got dam, I hope it came from that house. If not, those poor bastards.

 

[bilz]

I will say this. Whenever I hear or read stories of kids being idiots or doing fucked up things, im the last one to throw a stone lol.

We always knew there might be a price to pay. It was always our choice.

 

[Mr. C]

We always knew there might be a price to pay. It was always our choice.

So true. But the risk Oh the risk. Lol.

So another I hate kids moment now that I am older
(Ok old). I still can’t believe some of the stuff I was around and help do.
Back when you had metal trash cans. Someone had the bright idea to run a thin cable across the street connecting both cans to the handles. Well as the car drives by. Hits the cable. Cans slam both sides of the car. Did I say. I hate kids. Lmao.
As I type these. I regret a bunch and feel like a shit as I know now how hard people work for their stuff.

I restored a '75 chevy in high school and it was a real nice pickup for a teenager. One night I was driving down front street and WHACK, something hit my drivers side door. I looked in the mirror and saw two kids jumping up and down on the sidewalk celebrating their direct hit. I immediately turned left and headed down the alley, but there was no chance of me finding or catching them. 3 days later, as I was opening my truck door after a workout at the YMCA, and I hear a voice say "that's the truck that chased us down the other night". I walk out in front of my truck and see two kids, and I grab one of the fuckers with both hands by the collar and interrogated him. Had to only be 11 or 12 years old. I had some choice words and tried to get him to admit what he had done, but he was stammering and stumbling and made up some lie. The next day, his mother and him were outside my truck waiting when I finished my workout. She started yelling to keep my hands off her son, I gave her my opinion on her job as a mother raising a shit head that throws rocks at a moving vehicle.....I wish I had a baseball bat for the both of them.

Damage from whatever they threw at me

We did dumb stuff as kids, but I can't remember ever stealing or vandalizing anyone's property, my parents would have skinned my ass.

That sucks.

I have a long list but I’m not sure the statute of limitations is expired on some of it.

This thread got me thinking about the crazy "shenanigans" we used to pull. So many are actual felonies if we were caught, different world back in the day.

Somehow I came across the odd shaped key that opened up most commercial TP holders and turned off and on keyed light switches. My buddy and I spent two months stealing toilet paper from a nearby University and other establishments. We had saved up 183 rolls. Plus napkins and towelettes. We TP'd an old girlfriend's house. It took like two hours to do it. Her neighbors came out and watched. It looked like a blizzard had hit their house. Truly it was a TPing for the ages.

When I was at college our complex had a big hot tub spa. Like 20 people could fit in it. We'd go down on weekend nights with girls we had dragged home with us.

I filled up a zip lock baggie with dishwashing liquid. Put it in my pocket. We headed to the spa. I waited until some other people joined us and there was probably 10 people in there. After the new group got in I opened the zip lock bag. With seconds a crazy amount of bubbles started to form. The bubbles were three feet tall above the water. It was epic. Nobody knew who did it.

The next day the spa was empty and a notice went out warning tenants against such shenanigans. LOL

All they needed was some defoamer! Thinking back, I should have had some of that in the other pocket.

This trick is also hilarious at community fountains. I know a big one in Whittier used to get hit all the time. I may have some knowledge of the guilty party. ( not me )

The fountain in Havasu in the village was hit with some type of soap a few months back.

This might be a vin. Had a hard working buddy who had started a janitorial service. He concentrated on cleaning local business offices during after hours. One night, about 3am returning from playing a gig somewhere, we noticed his van parked at the local Automobile Club Office. So we stopped and went in, just to tell him hi.l. He said Hi and you guys better not F around with anything in here. We looked around a bit and started thinking what kind of devious shit can we do here. It was pre computers. There were many rows of file cabinets. We went thru a few looking for a name we knew. Bingo! We hit the jackpot. The files of one of the biggest ass holes we knew. It had all kinds of info on him. But, what could we do with it? His car insurance was thru Auto Club. So, we started looking for blank Auto Club stationary. We found a closet full of it. Including the official Auto Club Insurance Csncellation forms. So, we typed everything up and using the info from his files, we cancelled his car insurance. We stated, from the info provided to us by his family doctor (we had Dr name, address & ph #) his close family members and his young wife (we also had all that info) the Auto Club had determined him to be a general town drunk, public nuisance and a hazard to the community. So, we were cancelling his car insurance. Wrote further thst his wife and family doctor had suggested we do it. This was all properly typed, given a bogus signature, put into an official Auto Club envelope and mailed to his house. He opened the mail the day it arrived and went ballistic. They had just paid Auto Club in full for their policy. As we later found out. When his wife got home she knew there was something weird about the whole deal. So she started calling some of his “friends”. Of course she hit upon us, as we roared with laughter. She 100% busted us.
