Funny/cheeky things you did as a youngster

[GransportFan1]

Now, i am sure that when you were my age you got up to all sorts of stuff. Me and a friend of mine like to go out "cruising" with an air horn looking for trouble. If we see a cyclist or pedestrian depending on which side of the road they are on, wind down the window and blow the air horn at them. Their reactions are priceless, especially if they are a drunk or chav they go mental.

So, what funny/cheeky things did you do?

Similar stuff Adam.

I remember we used to rig the windscreen washer jets on my mates Chevette. We would then stop and ask people for help then squirt them and drive off!

They would occasionally boot the rear of the car as we went off, but hey, it was only a Chevette!

Another favourite was pulling into laybyes on the motorway and let the hitchhikers run up to the car then drive off!

Basically, we were a blight on society.

Ha Ha Matt that is genius, will have to try that one. I remember about 2 years ago, a neighbor of my friends was not a friendly chap, so when they went on holiday, we took his caravan and hid it on another part of the housing estate. He knew it was us but could never prove it.

I've done all sorts, but I dont want to give you any ideas, I am sure you will be terrorising the inhabitance of Natwich tonight with your washer jets.

The washer jets is genius. I do have a super soaker in the garage, very powerful might have to give it a go later.

Just be a bit carful with other road users, the last thing you want to do is cause an accident. I was driving around with the windows down and someone got me right in the ear with a supasoaker, I was not expecting it and jumped and ended up off the road on the pavement!

I did not see the funny side of it!

Also Adam, beware, the scuffers might, no will, take a dim view of it. And at this stage, when you are looking to impress future employers, getting a fine for anti-social behaviour would be a bit daft.

 

[GransportFan1]

I would not use a water pistol on another road user, that is not acceptable, was only thinking pedestrians but that is a bit OTT.

 

[conaero]

Pedestrians, carry on I say.

Just watch the road signs and lamp posts if you are hanging out a moving car window.

Someone did this to my other half when she was cycling back from work. She fell off her bike, bounced off the kerb and back into the road, broke her wrist and is permanently scarred on her face, shoulder and leg. Had there not been a switched-on driver in a Bentley behind her, she would possibly have been run over and killed. The next time she got on a bike, she burst into tears that something similar would happen again and is terrified anytime she has to pass a group of 'funny and cheeky' lads just like you at the side of the road. I doubt that will change.

I would suggest it is neither as funny or cheeky as you might think. Cyclists are a pain in the backside when you're in a car, but not sure they deserve to be injured for your jollies.

You might do well to remember you have a registration plate on the back the car. It isn't hard to find out where that car is registered, less than a fiver from the DVLA in fact or free from a friendly plod. Someone will note it down if you keep this up and you can expect a vist from Dibble or perhaps even the person you upset...

Sorry to be a downer!

I was going to say similar Lewis, not very clever, I'm a cyclist (I know, shoot me!) and I would come round your house and kick your **** if I got your reg!

 

[conaero]

Like I said, last thing you want to do is cause an accident so be careful.

 

[MAF260]

I have to agree with the above. Neither funny nor cheeky. You're also potentially up for an assault charge with the super soaker as well, not to mention that you would get your head kicked in by anyone who caught up with you.
I would beat the cr@p out of anyone who tried to do that to me.

 

[BennyD]

Adam, a bit of a mixed reaction there, so tread carefully young man!

 

[Pibbow]

Adam I'm a keen road & mountain bike rider as well as a petrol head, I also like a good giggle but as Lewis points out that kind of thing can have life threatening consequences.

Oh and if you did it to me I would be your Nemesis! Have you heard of Bricktop? A good friend of mine.

The days of pranks ended in the 80s it seems............now....extreme violence or the law end up being the options after same.......

[GransportFan1]

I do agree, it is quite stupid and you can face concequences. I suppose you dont realise how severe joking around is until someone outlines the concequences and effects it can have.

 

[conaero]

Well, at least you have learnt something there, I would stick to the washer jet and pedestrians, if you see MAF, give him an extra long soaking from me. (then boot it!!!!)

 

[GransportFan1]

or the hitchikers, that is quite funny Matt.
