Most ballsy thing you ever did?

Climbed up to the roof of a creepy old tumble-down tower one night and lit some matches to prove I did it to my friends who stayed on the main road a few hundred meters back, I was abut 11/12 years old. Scary.

Weird how they get such a bad press

Played Pétanque once with some French people. They won of course.

When I was 15, our 2 year old Collie got out of our garden and ran into the neighbors alsation who was about 5. They did not get on. They immediately made for each other. When I saw this I immediately jumped in between them and started to try and pull them apart. Luckily, I was able to dissapte the fight and our buck jolted back to our garden. No serious injuries on either end but we made sure our fella didn't get out of our garden again. I'd say most would have done the same but I remember thinking I cud have gotten a bad aul bite afterwards. The alsation was a big ass dog.

Had both the incoming and outgoing girlfriends in the house at the same time.

Aul lad didnt know what the fup was going on.

Knex* · 15-04-2019 11:58AM

Not sure if this counts, but making 6 or 7 phone calls in a row to let the lads know that one of our mates committed suicide. Was about 18 at the time.

More so tough going than ballsy, I suppose. Was rough enough for me to remember it just now anyway. I didn't want any of them having to do it.

Boom_Bap · 15-04-2019 12:18PM

I went out today without a rain jacket.

AllForIt · 15-04-2019 12:28PM

I told a straight guy in late night dive bar that I though he was hot.

Lapped it up the Kunt.

It was when I was in first or second year in secondary school.

Anyway I saw a bigger kid bullying a kid in my year so I marched over and shouted out good and loud "STOP THAT NOW OR IM GOING TO REPORT YOU TO THE PRINCIPAL". He did stop too.

I stood up to a bloke in a garage recently - he may have been a traveller - he was insisting I move my car to let him out, even though I was still getting petrol at the time and there was nothing behind him so all he had to do was reverse out. I wasnt going to interrupt what i was doing so I said no and then he started threatening to ram my car. I just turned my back on him and reckoned if he rammed the car or did anything to me it would all be on CCTV. After a bit of pretend ramming he reversed out and called me some nasty names out the window then drove off. I was glad I didnt move.

Completely innocent thread didn't even make it into double figures before the feminist-bashing started. We've officially reached peak After Hours.

I blame the feminists.

They should rename this thread "The most ballsy thing you ever did that involved Travellers".

rosmoke · 15-04-2019 01:10PM

Moved to Citywest/Tallaght area a few years ago.
After a few years of: shootings, cars burning 20m from my place, regular break ins I got myself a caravan to blend in.

evil_seed · 15-04-2019 01:11PM

A few years ago there was a young fella knocking the head off a young wan on the Luas. The guy had a few mates with him and they all laughed and made dumb noises at her. They got off the same stop as me so I grabbed the lad by the collar and pushed him into the wall and said stop hitting girls, if you want to hit someone hit me. He did nothing (thankfully). In the state of my blood boiling I'd forgotten about the other lads, but they also did nothing. When they were over the other side of the tracks they started shouting abuse at me. So I turned around moved towards them. They legged it. I hate bullies!

Very stupid looking back even minutes after i thought how stupid i had been but as a teen I ran in front of a train to drag a red setter off the rail tracks. The dog had run off on its owner and was standing barking at the oncoming train in the middle of a road crossing.

Putting myself forward to speak for my siblings when we were asked to consider turning off the life support for my mother. She recovered as it happened but i knew my brothers and sisters wouldn't have been able to deal with the guilt being the one who actually spoke to the doctor about it when I looked around the room in that moment.

Bought property in 2007. Smart and ballsy.

Caught two cultured fellows performing one of their time honored trades in my Granny's house. Locked them into the house and for the first and only time in my life called 999. Stood outside with a steal bar ensuring they did not escape until the Guards arrived.

Pfft.

Once I ate a bar of chocolate in bed and went straight to sleep afterwards - and I didn't brush my teeth.

I'm just a natural born badass.

Having a nut allergy, I once played a game of Russian Roulette with a bag of Revels

If you think that's badass, get this.

Once a salesperson was a bit abrupt with me, so I paid and took my stuff - and I didn't even say thanks.

That'll teach them to cross me!

Red Lightning · 15-04-2019 02:43PM

Walked into Burger King, stared the person at the till right in the eye and asked for Chicken McNuggets. He could sense my seriousness so he handed me a pack of nuggets with an Mc added in marker.

Did they do that smarmy "You're Welcome" thing as well knowing full well you didn't thank them?

Bogwoppit · 15-04-2019 02:45PM

Minding my parents house a good few years ago, they’d had a visit from some cultured fellows previously which resulted in having to have my dog put to sleep along other things so they didn’t like to leave the house unattended for long periods.
There was no car outside so the cultured fellows must have thought there was nobody home when they called for tea.
I came outside before they exited their hiace and made two new ventilation holes in the back of it with my bang stick.
They didn’t stay for tea.

They knew what they were dealing with at that point and chose not to risk it.

Most ballsy thing you ever did?
