Funniest teenage memory?

For me, it was the hours of total laughter my bestie and I had when jumping on my parents bed - from the ottoman at the bottom - doing somersaults on it etc.

Ridiculous, early teenage fun.

Have you any fond, teenage funny memories to cheer us up on this dreary Tuesday evening? :)

Using an old car bonnet we found as a sledge on a big hill, no snow though.
I’d have a heart attack if I saw my children doing it now.

That's actually a brilliant idea 😂😂😂😂

My older brother used to make go-karts with his mates out of anything he could find, pram wheels, bits of trolleys, boxes,...you get the idea.
He used to get me to test them out, I had no idea at the time that I was the ‘crash test dummy’ I was just excited to be involved with what DB and his mates were doing. He’d built this amazing go-kart with 4/5 of his friends and I was summoned from inside to test it out. I climbed in and off I went down the path and to the bottom of the (not overly) steep hill. They all cheered at the first successful mission. Then my brother climbed in and headed down the path towards the hill, he made it about 3ft before the wheels all bent inwards and his bum appeared through the bottom and was dragging (painfully by the sounds coming from him) along the rocky path. He clambered out and I can remember so clearly him trying very hard not to cry whilst trying to cover the hole in his shell suit bottoms that were now revealing his off white undies.
I laughed for hours, as did his mates. He didn’t find it quite so amusing.
My mum did point out to him that using a 5 year old little girl as your go kart tester only works if you are roughly the same weight as said go kart tester....

Unfortunately he was 15, about 6ft and around 14 stone at the time!

My dad bringing the works van home and taking all of the kids in the street for a hurl. Anything in the region of 10-15 kids in the back of a luton van getting driven around at what seemed to us at great pace, and round neck break corners while we were thrown from side to side trying to stay upright (I’m sure in all reality he was puttering along at the pace of a milk float) and everyone screaming and frothing with excitement at it all. Bruises, bumps and nosebleeds, of course, part of the fun. Never a parental complaint either, shots in the back of the van were a thing to be encouraged.

Here's one that went down in the history books with my friend's family; I was there on the day. Her parents had the solution to my friend's insistence that her 16th birthday present was going to be money; the more the better, and nothing else - no pointless socks or anything. To make the presentation more fun, they blindfolded her, and told her to find her birthday cash hidden in the room. She was allowed to ask yes/no questions about where it was, and encouraged to move about. After a very long line of "no" answers to everything she asked, she finally got "yes" when she asked "is it in front of me?", no matter how she moved. After much laughter from everybody but her, realisation dawned that her money was hidden inside her blindfold. She did not see the funny side for a good while - there was a lot of stomping and sulking about the "utter humiliation" of this game!
