    So you stood by and laughed as your friend got raped. Okay.
    Ah, he was alright! Nothing but a bit of a heavy romp :p We always laugh about it looking back though.

    When i was a child i had a beavis and butthead t-shirt that had an image of them playing frog baseball on the front. This inspired me to play frog hurling, i also used to break frogs legs and watch them try to hop about :(

    I once found an injured wren and decided to put in out of its misery by chucking it down an old well, looking back on that i reckon i just increased it misery :(

    Me and my mate spent a long summers day beating a dead badger with a stick, to this day i don't know why.

    There was a river behind my house that me and my neighbours used to swim in during the summer. I brought our labrador down one day and it got a bit over excited and tried to bum my younger neighbour. We though it was hilarious but the dog was really strong and started dragging him under the water, eventually we had to jump in and rescue him before the dog went full Barrymore on him. That one back fired on me because he went home crying to his parents and the dog got put down :(

    Looking back on it i had all the hallmarks of a future serial killer. In fact if i caught a kid doing the stuff i did i would slap the head off them and call the cops, but as soon as i got older i realised how cruel i was and changed my ways. I have saved a few stray cats over the years to undo all the bad things i have done.

    Yeah I used to torture wasps. Actually torture them. I'd spray a wasp with fly killer so they'd fall to the ground. Then when they're on their dying legs, I'd rip their tiny wings off and stick a needle through it's body and watch it die a slow and painful death. Then when the wasp is fully dead, i'd throw them out the top stairs window for some reason. But my theory at the time was that I was sending a message to all the other wasps not to enter my house. But they never listened.....

    I used to pour salt on slugs so they would melt. I used to think that was so cool!

    I put my goldfish in a toy hoover. My mom found it and was like what the hell? Luckily, it lived :L Still don't know why I thought that would be a good idea though.

    I beat up twins with a hurley after they robbed my bike.......my sister also rowed in :o

    I p1ssed on top of my cousin when I was younger. I was standing on top of a stack of hay bales and he was tying his shoelace below. I'll never forget the look on his face when he realized what was pouring down on top of him!

    Nothin woefully cruel. Was never cruel to animals (apart from the odd shooting a Super Soaker at cats). Was kinda cruel to other people at times... but again, nothing woefully serious.

    Mostly just being a vicious little bollix when playing football/soccer. But sure that's allowed (especially in the Gah!).

    I used to cut wasps heads off with scissors. They seemed to survive for a couple of hours, or at least their mouth-pincers still seemed to function.

    Not something I'm proud of, by the way.

    I also had a long-haired guinea pig who'd get mucky and need a bath. But he hated baths so one day i turned the hose on him instead. He scuttled away, terrified.

    I wasn't meaning to be nasty and I felt terrible after. But I made a fuss of him and gave him some dandelions leaves and he seemed to forgive me pretty quickly.

    I don't know why, but I laughed at this, very loudly in a bar

    When I was a kid, me and my brother tied a parachute to my uncle's teddy bear ( which was actually an antique ) and launched him from the eight floor of our apartment block.

    We used to trap wasps from my friends garden in a lucozade bottle. When we had about 5 or 6 in the bottle we would trap a butterfly and put it in with the wasps and watch them torture the butterfly.

    Another time we trapped a load of violent wasps in a cigar tube and sold it to a woman as an environmentally friendly vibrator!

    One of these is true......

    we had some pet rabbits when I was about 10. Neighbours dog got into the hutch and killed them all.

    We put the dog into a sack, hung the sack from a tree and beat the dog with sticks. Revenge, mafia style.

    The dog wasn't seriously injured afterwards, but i've felt guilty about it to this day - I'm never gonna make Godfather am I....

    Did nobody stop you from doing this?

    I used to trap spiders under a glass and drag the glass along the floor. Their legs would get trapped under it and fall off. And then I'd stand on them :L
    I used to get a snail and repeatedly poke it in the face to watch it retract itself inside its shell. He'd then come out of his shell and I'd do it again and again until I got bored, then I'd throw them against a wall to see them smash :p
    I also used to collect bees and wasps in a bottle and throw them down the road and kick the bottle around. They would get so dizzy :o
    I once found a cute little baby bird who fell out of his nest. So what did I do? I fcuked him down the road, ran over to see how he was and laughed when I saw that his head had smashed open off the ground :o
    I always used to knock for my friends and then, when they'd come out, pretend I had to go in again. Just to annoy them.

    I was a bollix.

    I used to pretend I was building a house for this young kid, but you see it was really a prison. Imagine heaps of wooden pallets, metal rods and building material. I just built it up around him and he soon realized he was trapped and wailed etc, shook the stucture, but to no avail! We hid for a few hours watching and laughing.

    We weren't really cruel to animals, moreso to one another.

    One of my sisters was a particularly notorious tyrant.

    She used to get me (the youngest) and the second youngest to "appear" in front of her court where she would quiz us for all sorts of going on about the house - unfinished chores, eaten cakes, broken toys - and frame us for the lot of them. I think she made up half of the offences.

    We genuinely had no idea that she didn't have the authority from our parents to do this and punish us, and would routinely be forced so spend time in 'prison' which usually involved being forced to lie behind a sofa or behind the fire-guard, or do some menial tasks as hard labour.

    Our house was awful.

    My brothers were always farting in my face.

    My sister was bullied in school and came home crying one day. I slapped her and told her not to be such a baby. She's 11 years older than me.

    My parents told me you're not allowed on the aeroplane until you get on your back in the airport and wave your arms and legs around. I did this every year for about ten years.

    I used to always snoop in my sisters room. Read her diary, texts etc. I know what my brother in laws penis looks like thanks to me being so nosey.

    I bullied my friend pretty bad. She took a Poo in a bush when we were 8 and I'm always slagging her over it to this day.

    At a sleepover she went behind the table to change, bent over to pick something up and mooned us in the process. CUe me pointing it out to everyone and laughing for about ten minutes.

    She went up for a bath and I was downstairs, I could just hear her mum shout 'hey, take off your knickers before you get in!!!!' I love telling people that story.

    we used to burn all the soiled straw bedding from the horses on a big heap out back once a week. I was about 10 at the time and I was in charge of setting it on fire and making sure it burned properly. My younger cousin was over at the time (whome I disliked) and was using my brand new super soaker playing fireman against my will because my mum had told me I had to share my toys. So he kept putting out parts of the fire that I was trying to keep going. When the waterbottle ran empty I offered to go fill it up again as he'd probably break it or something. So back I come a minute later and hand him the super soaker and stand back. he sprays a bit on a small nearby flame on the ground when all of a sudden a stream of fire races up the stream of the supersoaker and sets ablaze theground on which he was standing. "water" lol.

    (he was fine by the way, and didn't want to play fireman anymore) :P

    My wife when she was young used to hold her sister's nose while she slept to "see what would happen". Her parents wondered why she woke up so upset.

    My wife was eventually forgiven...
