Tell us something awful you did as a kid.

[Friedchickenrocks]

Aged about 8 our grandad was staying with us and I hid his glasses. Nobody thought it was me but he knew. He was literally almost blind for a week and even went poking with his walking stick down the loo. "I know it's her. I just know it, little bitch" Eventually they magically re-appeared on the sideboard. I never did own up and my mum never thought it could possibly be her blue eyed girl.

Just thought of another one 😄one day me and my mate were making prank calls ringing round and saying that the answerer had won a prize! 😀💷

I don't remember many answering but on one call the painter answered (apparently) and said the owners weren't home! 😂

When I was about 8 and on holiday at a caravan park, there was a random tombola set up with lots of teddies, some enormous! I stole some coins from my Mum's purse and went to play and won about 3 teddies including the biggest one. It dawned on me that I couldn't explain away how I'd bought the tickets to have won such enormous prizes so I hid them in a bush. I tried for a few hours to think of a way out of trouble but couldn't so decided to return to the teddies to the women running the tombola pretending I'd just found them. They looked at me incredibly confused as they tried to describe the little girl that had won them earlier, clearly thinking it was me as I stood there gaslighting away. They didn't call me out on it though and took back the teddies and my Mum was never the wiser.

I'll see you in hell 😂😂

This thread is killing me 😂

When I was a teen - I kept filling out catalogue request forms with stupid names like ‘Micky mouse’ at Micky mouse palace road and post them all. I must of done it 20 times with stupid random names. I do feel very guilty for the person having to deal with the stupid forms

It’s not just you, and I suspect I’m a bit neurodivergent as well, but I also had all of those things: strict parents, unduly worried about my behavior, bored. I definitely never hurt a live animal, but interestingly, even my friends now will tell stories about being forced to play with “mean kids” that hurt animals and really not liking it. So there MUST be some kind of line in the sand that even some kids have. I don’t want to judge anyone individually on this thread, but I just thought more people would feel guilty looking back on this stuff (and some do). But I won’t pretend I’m fucking amused by the person on page one who thought they should share a story about them being 18 and letting another woman leave the restroom with her skirt stuck in her underwear; that’s doing a horrible thing as an adult.

This was the start of her downward spiral..

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAH!!!! 😂

I lived on a street with about 5 other kids the same age and we were very tight. When we were about 13, a neighbour left her spare housedoor key with one of our parents to housesit whilst she was on holiday. We took the key several times and entered her house and had a good snoop around everything. Our parents found out when they saw us dicking around on the street with some crutches we'd found.

Oh my fucking lord you have made my night.

@ALongHardWinter omg! That was on the radio this morning when I was at work and I was cringing so much having to sit there in the office with all the moaning going on. And now I'm thinking about the mooing!! 😂😂😂

Another one...
I broke my wrist aged 7
I had a Cousin called Evelyn who was 12 and a brat
We were all sitting in the hallway playing at my Aunts house and Evelyn took one of my toy cars (I was a tom boy) she wouldn't give it back and a few of my other Cousins joined in with the mocking
So I thwacked her hard around her head
With my plaster casted arm
It made a lovely sound and echoed a bit due to us being in said hallway
All hell broke loose
It was memorable

Well that trumps my B&Q story. No pun intended.

Loosened the salt cellar lid so Miss Barnes poured the entire contents on her spam fritter, creamed potatoes and mixed veg.

^^

Oh the glory

🤣

Some children really are vile little shits. The cruelty of some children never ceases to amaze me.

Some of these are funny though.... 😁

Age 11 I had a sausage roll for lunch
I only like the pastry ..couldn't see a bin for the sausage so put it in a...
Post box
Yikes
I still worried about the letters with grease marks
What was I thinking

I think it’s crazy how upset people are by what kids did in the past.

It’s also bizarre how many of them are shocked that a thread entitled “Tell us something awful you did as a kid” features tales of awful things people did as kids.

I think that was fairly normal as kids. I used to roll back the foreskin of DB’s penis thinking it looked like a lipstick, I was only 6 or 7!

Different thread, but are kids doing the same high and extreme level of mischievous today? Mine has a genius and cheeky mind, but is far too sweet to do anything like this! A few of her friends, however… but most of the 6 year old we know are super sweet

My grandfather used to find it hilarious to stir his tea, then put the hot spoon on my hand when I was a child 😳

The poster who explained how we mature at different ages in life can explain most of these away. Yes some of the animal ones are upsetting but it’s mostly because kids are kids and don’t know any better. I was always taught to try not to kill anything from tiny flies to spiders yet I see adults killing these all the time - on a bus for example.

Unless you’re torturing eg a cat or dog and being violent to it I think if you feel remorse for doing something bad especially to an animal then that shows you’re normal. If you don’t feel remorse that isn’t normal.

Everyone asking why, the fact he referred to you as a little bitch tells us why. Should have chucked them in the bin lol

Me and sis in garden. Me about 10, sis about 7. Just playing as normal, nothing major happening. Then I started to grab my chest in pain, coughing and gasping for breath. I collapsed onto the floor and passed out. My sis panics trying to rouse me, but I'm out for the count. So she runs inside to get our mum, panicking and crying that I've died. "Come quick!!" etc etc.

Mum sprints into the garden and I'm just casually swinging away on the swing, totally conscious, lucid and breathing. Nothing going on.

Mum tells me off for pulling a prank, that its really cruel to panic another person like that, but I act totally mystified. No idea what my sis is talking about. I've just been on the swing the entire time. Of course I didn't pretend to die!! How stupid, sis is making it all up. Mum believes me and sis is given an early bedtime for attention seeking.

At the time I thought it was hilarious and I was impressed by my own acting skills. I convinced not just one person, but two, with my fine acting!

Now I really do feel fucking awful. It was cruel, my sis fully believed I had some sort of attack and died and was in an awful panic. And then to have my mum punish her and I said nothing... I can't believe I did it. I was actually a really well behaved kid and had done nothing like it before or after. I've no idea why I decided to do it.

I admitted it later in life and apologised to both, but at the time I was remorseless and found myself so funny.

My dad used to get my mum those big, padded cards for her birthday and anniversaries, which she would keep. When I was about 4 or 5 and it was my dad's birthday I decided to use one of the cards to give to him, so I scribbled the writing out and write my name inside. Mum told me that it was hers so I couldn't send that. So I did the same to another one.
I drew on my Nan's precious Des O'Connor LP sleeves in felt pen.
I sampled the miniature bottles of liqueurs they kept on display.
I rubbed hand cream on the bathroom wallpaper and when it made a hole, I said that a bird had flown in and pecked it!
I wet myself in class and told the teacher the floor was wet because the boy sitting next to me had wet himself (and she believed me because we were sitting on the floor and his shorts were wet)
I used to phone Dial-a-Disc a lot, without telling anyone

How vile are you
