Mean things you did as a kid

Stood on a chair in the back garden and scraped a rake off my sister's bedroom window after we watched Nightmare On Elm Street

Love it.

I don't think you ever redeem yourself for something like that. You just have to learn to live with what you've done and the possible damage you've caused other people.

That said, the fact the poster can see why what they did was wrong makes them a better person in my book than someone who doesn't give it a second thought. People change.

Yeah 100% agree but I'd go to amend things with that person if at all possible. Let the bullied person know that it wasn't their fault they were subjected to this torment, that'd be some bit of consolation for them(if they were affected by it) imo.

In a boys secondary school, the "grab the [item] and throw it around the room" thing was a daily occurance... I guess some got it worse but it happened to most. When I think about the name calling and what would now be considered proper "bullying"... it does happen. I got picked on (I wouldn't say 'bullied') a bit by a guy in school, on and off, for about 2 years; didn't hugely bother me as I was a bit of a loud mouth and he was a "hard lad" who kind of puffed himself up and threw his weight around. I knew his dad was dead so that might have been part of it.

Anyway it kept going until the one day where I stood up (and I was about a foot taller than him) and gave him an almighty kick. That was the end of him picking on me.

Anyway, sorry I went off topic there - I did some pretty awful things as a youngster; I'm not sure I'm ready to admit the worst one but I shall read more posts before I decide! :-)

Too true, I have a daughter in school and the thought of her ever having to put up with this type of behaviour is terrifying, she is a sensitive wee soul too. Threads like this bring me right back to what school was like and how difficult it was at times.

Am dreading it ever happening to my kids. You'd be trying to restrain yourself from going down to the school and dishing out justice yourself.

We did that one hot summer to the girls alright. A grown up me now realises it was a hugely irresponsible leg break waiting to happen.

I'm not one for all this "kids copy what they see on tv" excuses but I am fairly sure we copied that idea off some cartoon.

That's not mean, that's bloody genius! :P

When a bunch of us were around 12 or 13 we filled a burst football up with muck and stones and strategically placed it in a field close to a bus stop, when someone got off the bus they'd be met with a chorus of "here mister pass the ball back" with hillarious results.
Never even occured to us (well to me anyway) that we could easily have broken someones foot, "fun" was ended when one of our victims took the ball with him.
What a stupid thing to do!

I used to grab my sisters and fart on their heads.:pac:

I was/am an extremly bad person.

Conor Bourke · 16-08-2013 10:41AM

When she was about 3 or 4 I told my sister if she ate hen pellets she'd be able to fly (she was too small to realise hens don't fly) I didn't think she'd believe me but she went missing for a few minutes and when I went looking, I found her in the shed about to dig into the bag of hen food :eek:

Also sticking with the fowl theme, my parents used to kill and prepare our own turkeys for Christmas every year. Prior to plucking them, they would hang them out in the shed where the chest freezer was. I would remove the light bulb in the shed, then in the evening ask my sister to go get something from the freezer, knowing that she'd walk into the dark shed and get a face full of dead turkey! Mam and Dad would be in on this one too, to be fair

Ghost Buster · 16-08-2013 10:46AM

You know that flippy thing you can do with really small kids where they bend over forwards with their hand back between their legs and you grab their hands and make them do a somersault? (maybe not)

Well when i was about 14 my 16 year old sister was demonstrating to her friend how its done, assumed the position and evil bastid here grabbed her hands and yanked her straight over onto solid concrete on her head resulting in an over night stay for observation, sever concussion, two black eyes and a bitten tongue... and i received similar once she had recovered.:mad:

there was this annoying weedy kid in our school called Alan Partridge
in the playground we used to chant......

"smelly alan fartridge smelly alan fartridge, he loves his mum he lives in her bum, if you think thats bad you should smell his dad"

(he deserved it)

travis1976 · 16-08-2013 11:01AM

I used to jump out from all sorts of places at my younger brother screaming, usually resulting in floods of tears. I feel really bad now looking back, as my 5yr old suffers from some anxiety as a result of a similar incident by someone else. Karmas a bitch

This site is full of some real classics in the school cruelty area...

Jester252 · 16-08-2013 11:11AM

In 2nd year we had a french teacher that we made cry every day

Pumpkinseeds · 16-08-2013 12:21PM

When I was about 10 or so I hit my brother on the ass so hard with a horse whip that it broke. I will never forget his screams or the spanking I got from my Mother for doing it. Still feel guilty about it:(

mutley18 · 16-08-2013 12:28PM

Created a spike strip across a road, didn't use spikes though, used jellyfish...as you do. They were already dead...I think...if they are washed up on a beach they are dead right?!

I had one of those in 5th year!

Was walking up the aisle as bridesmaid at my brothers wedding and there she was sitting in the crowd :eek:

Turns out she is married to my sister in laws uncle!

liquoriceall · 16-08-2013 01:40PM

All of my siblings did awful things to eachother but I convinced my brother that the electric fence was off by touching it when in fact it was still on (it affects him really badly).....resulting in him puking for the afternoon!

I used to always do this to my brother.

fro9etb8j5qsl2 · 16-08-2013 01:51PM

I was the youngest so I was spoiled rotten as a small child and my older brother (who had been the pet until my arrival) was really jealous of me. It was a constant tit for tat between us but me being a girl, I was way more cunning and devious :cool: I remember wandering into his bedroom one morning and seeing him peacefully sleeping, I decided that he needed a nice little wake up. I punched him full force into the mouth and ran straight into my parents room, dove into bed between them and feigned a deep sleep. Brother came in a few seconds later bawling and bleeding, saying that I had hit him. My dad 'shook me awake' and I put on my best sleepy innocent face, saying I didn't know what he was talking about. Brother got roared at for making up stories and I got extra praise for being the victim of a malicious smear campaign. Evil, I know

We're the best of friends now though

spankysue · 16-08-2013 02:47PM

Myself and my older sister used to constantly fight when we were kids, she once gave me a black eye by throwing me by the scruff of the neck into the telephone table in our hall 'cause I was cramping her style when we were out on the street swapping fancy pages.

Then I fractured her arm 3 days before her Junior Cert, because she was taunting me with a topless picture of Mark Owen.

CatLou · 16-08-2013 03:05PM

I threw my sister's toothbrush into the toilet once because I had had a silly fight with her :P

gobnaitolunacy · 16-08-2013 03:33PM

Tried to tie my neighbour to a clothes line, hoisted her up with the wind-up handle...forgot to engage to ratchet...let go handle momentarily and got a smack in the puss from the handle spinning around.

Blitzkrieger · 16-08-2013 05:21PM

Told this story here before but this thread reminds me of it :

Once in 4th class I stepped in the smelliest dog poo you've ever smelled. Nearing my desk and realising the smell was coming from me, I hurriedly wiped it off on the coat of the guy in front of me.

How I kept a straight face while the teacher having noticed the smell made him stand up and show the soles of his shoes I don't know. The memory of the sight of his mother smacking him when she sees smelly dog poo smeared around the back seat of her car cracks me up to this day.

I'm a terrible person.....

OneArt · 16-08-2013 05:27PM

I wasn't a kid when I did this, it was only last Christmas. My "little" brother is about seventeen now. I was making tea and he wouldn't put the rubbish out like Mam told him to. So I got a teaspoon and dipped it in the hot water of the kettle. Then I went up and put it on his neck for a second. He certainly jumped.

Now whenever I'm visiting and he displeases me, I go after him with the teaspoon. I don't even have to dip it in hot water anymore, I just have to get a normal teaspoon and chase him with it.

I made my brother frightened of teaspoons.
