Most of my near misses involved cars (and being under 25) or rock climbing.
This quote in another thread bought back lots of memories of mad stuff I did when I was younger.
When I was 17 I was having an argument with a girlfriend on the phone whilst at work. Eventually she said "I'm going to put the phone down" I warned her not to which was quickly followed by the dial tone. I went to my boss and told him my girlfriends mother had just called to tell me my girlfriend had fainted at work and been taken to hospital and asked if I could have the rest of the day off. My boss was very concerned and agreed I should go immediately.
I didn't have a car at the time so took the 15 minute bus ride home got changed, went to my Dads shed and got a hammer and then walked 15 minutes to where my girlfriend worked. She was older than me and had a VW Golf Cabriolet (Convertible). As I walked into the car park at her office she saw me out of the window as I withdrew the hammer and smashed both of her headlights and then calmly walked away. It felt great but I had no idea how much noise headlights make when you hit them with a hammer (VERY loud).
I heard her scream my name as I walked off down the street but ignored her and carried on walking. Suddenly I heard high pitched revving and turned to see the VW mount the kerb and coming hurtling towards me, I managed to dive into someones front garden before she ran me down.
I made it home in one piece and we kissed and made up a week later...ahhhh young love, what a nutter I was back then...only dream about doing that sort of thing now that I'm a responsible adult..:rolleyes:
Any other stories of teenage madness?
