I think I've never been wild and I'm thinking I might need to address this. What's the wildest thing you have ever done? I think mine is prob missing my flight home from Crete when I was 22 for being too hungover. Literally nothing since. I'm so boring.

Oh also- helped a friend harvest her grow op, that was fun

All sorts of antics in Christiana (Denmark) and Amsterdam with soft drugs

A few sex clubs... the list goes on

Boredbumhead · 01/03/2020 20:51

On my 40th I went out clubbing and took a tiny bit of MDMA. I am still recovering 3 years later. Trust me OP. Boring is good.

gladysinthepicture · 01/03/2020 20:51

snogged a woman in a nightclub, just to see what it was like!

Nc4obviousreasons · 01/03/2020 20:58

Name changed of course

When younger quit a good job that I hated and hated where I was living to go live other end of country without lining up a job or place to live first. Luckily landed on my feet and got a place to live straight away and a job within a week. But had no childcare or anything to worry about

Skinny dipping

Flashing bouncers for free entry to clubs

But otherwise pretty boring when younger went wilder after divorce.

Didn’t want another relationship but wanted sex and so discovered swinging scene. Have enjoyed lots of casual sex, threesomes and more, bdsm, being watched, gone to several swinging parties and had a great time.

Gone away for weekends with new friends and fwb and had a great time.

You don’t have to go wild if it’s not your thing op but if there are things you’d like to do that are legal and not hurting other parties I say go for it! Yolo!

ThatsWotSheSaid · 01/03/2020 20:59

Similar to others on here lots of crazy drugs, wild sex, travelling the world and partying for days. Wouldn’t change a thing but I’m completely boring now. I’m not sure people I know now would believe most of it!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 01/03/2020 21:03

Really need to know which member of S Club 7 is was Grin

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 01/03/2020 21:03

There was lots of stupid stuff in my teens and 20s, some of it unpleasant and criminal. I'm quite fond of one memory though, my ride on the other bus. Mind you, at that age I would shagged linoleum, to paraphrase Xander Harris.

Whatdididowrongnowthen · 01/03/2020 21:06

Got arrested for having a variety of drugs in my car after leaving a 3 day illegal rave. Spent a night in the cells and had to go on trial at Crown Court - found guilty as charged...

Oh crashed through a police roadblock in my car to get to another rave..

Ran along the side of the M4 to escape being caught by the chasing police to get to, yes you've guessed it another rave!

elastamum · 01/03/2020 21:08

Silliest thing I did in my 40s was fly to San Francisco in my own with 2 young DC, my oldest was 10, pick up a hire car, drive to Squaw Valley through a snow storm and ski off piste for a week with them. It was brilliant, but looking back I shudder to think what might have happened if I had a bad fall.

gladysinthepicture · 01/03/2020 21:11

dh and I blagged our way into a celeb after show party once. a very well know celeb was sat in the corner off his face on booze. he was pictured in the papers next morning very bleary eyed . think a "national treasure" ;)

pinkmagic1 · 01/03/2020 21:16

Pretty wild in my teens. I suppose the craziest thing I did was elope half way accross the world at 18 to marry a man I had met on holiday! 40 now and far from wild and still with the man I eloped to marry!

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 01/03/2020 21:18

Drove from Cancun to Puerto Vallarta via Mexico City and back again in a car with no number plates. Flirted with a lot of Mexican police en route.
Rode various horses without saddles or helmets mostly in Mexico.
Got very drunk with some random Cubans next to a crocodile infested river. Vague memory of my now dh singing Guantanamera whilst someone played a guitar.
Danced with Jacob Rees Mogg
White water rafted in melt water

Partied very hard from the age of 15 to 21. Lots of alcohol and drugs.

Cherrysoup · 01/03/2020 21:22

Hitch hiked from Liverpool to Paris for charity with a mate. So, so dodgy.

Growingboys · 01/03/2020 21:30

So many naughty things, lots of them outing.

Including lots of drink, drugs, sex, drugs, nakedness, unsuitable men, you name it. Nothing truly bad, but lots of naughty stuff and god it was fun.

Now I'm such a sensible mum in my 40s, but I'm glad I was the other way when I was younger.

Casino218 · 01/03/2020 21:42

I once smoked opium. Also I once broke into a swimming pool with two friends after a night out and went for a midnight swim! There's more but best leave it at that!

Alyic · 01/03/2020 22:01

Apart from drugs I've done most things but have always looked innocent and angelic and I've kept my mouth shut. When I'm in the old folks home I've lots to smile about......... if I can remember

Mydogatemypurse · 02/03/2020 02:30

Ah this thread has made me laugh so much.
Boredbumhead I hope you are ok.
Dinosaur, I actually cant picture JRM dancing, was it like old fashioned dancing like in a period drama, like where the women stand in a line and the men do too, then they bow and walk around in circles and that. Surely it wasnt raving. What type of music was playing?. I just cant picture it ha.

@PrincessHoneysuckle I promised I would never tell! It was one of the men though. He was very sweet. It was when I was running a nightclub and they were the guests, years ago.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 02/03/2020 12:13

@Mydogatemypurse Scottish Country dancing, we danced the Gay Gordons. I was in a ball gown, he may have been wearing tartan trousers (it was my first introduction to Port so my memory isn't great).

squeekums · 03/03/2020 04:20

Wildest?
There isnt just one time. Fot a time i was known as the drug test dummy, had the hat and all lol
Ive stayed awake for 9 days, been behind the decks on a main stage at a rave, viewing, not mixing lol, been on a 14km acid walk and the only reason we didnt sneak into the local airport - a sign that read Guard dog and ARMED guard on patrol
Almost been kicked out of the footy for creative use of language
Been on back of a bike doing 180km down the main road at glenelg, beachy, tourist spot in adelaide
Been in cars booting through the adelaide hills sideways

There legal stuff too, like my love of high speed, fast spinning rides and roller coasters

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 03/03/2020 04:32

Spent NYE in the dark hiding from drug dealers in Davyhulme whilst entirely sober. Best friend and I laid on the floor to avoid detection, side by side, for 7hrs. Laugh about it now but at the time it was, well, terrifying.

Had sex with practically everyone I knew that I wasn’t related to. Including a teacher of mine and someone else who’s now a Tory MP (my biggest shame). Had a threesome that was actually pretty boring once you got over the novelty....There felt like there was quite a bit of sort of, waiting around. Took a lot of drugs, drank a lot of booze. Once snogged a lad who was only 14 one NYE when I was 20-odd. Didn’t find out til afterwards, was horrified (in my defence he was in a pub and drinking, so I just assumed he was of age). Called off a wedding. Did some shoplifting.

That feels like everything. That was quite cathartic. Am now a boring, middle-aged mother and those days feel a long way away. Some of it was fun but most of it really wasn’t, OP, so I wouldn’t worry about having missed out.

bbyj2019 · 03/03/2020 05:13

Has sex on a train 🤷🏼‍♀️

wallflowersunited · 03/03/2020 05:17

Slept on the streets

GertrudeCB · 03/03/2020 07:09

I've been thrown out of a nightclub for fighting aged 19. Sounds more rock n roll than it was. Person I was fighting was my best friend, her cousin had " hilariously " spiked her drink with LSD and she was freaking out and I was trying to restrain her.

Patroclus · 03/03/2020 13:22

It was B who was in a certain club of seven who had quite a bad cocaine issue, though the other men wernt shy.
