Things you do in the house that you probably shouldn't.

You know when you were a kid and your parents got mad at you for playing sports indoors? Well, what sort of that stuff do you still do?

I ride my bike in the house. Well, I mostly practice trackstands in the middle of the living room. This used to piss my girlfriend off, but she broke up with me, so I can trackstand all I want now. 😛

I also sometimes play hackey sack inside when I'm bored. I end up knocking a lot of stuff into the sink for some reason.

What do you do inside that's normally an outdoor activity?
 
We play cricket with a smaller dimension bat, and a soft ball, but that's in our attic, and it's big and empty, so I guess that doesn't really count.

We often play catch (with a tennis ball) in either my or my brothers room, but sometimes he will do some cricket bowling practice in the dining room, often when the table is set. He has, at least twice, got the ball in the food.

There's not much that people are not supposed to do in the house, except sports cos that's reserved for outdoors.
 
my little brother and i thought it would be a good idea to bring the hose in from out backyard and make our own waterslide on the stairs to our basement. we used a plastic sled to "slide" down the stairs. It didn't work and my brother ended up getting stitches from it.

LOL! nope... he flew out of the sled and hit his head on the stairs. 😱
 
I have a friend that shoots his silencer-equipped Walther into a phonebook inside... that's pretty nuts if you ask me or have witnessed it, lol.

 
I'll never do this again. There was alcohol involved....yeah. Read on.

I was building a stand and cage for one of my snakes (that I no longer have...gave'em away) and needed to cut a lot of wood with a circular saw. It chose to rain really hard that day, and I needed to get working on the project.

I lived in an apt at the time, BTW. Hmm. Wood is in the living room. Saw is in the living room. Let's cut 4x8 sheets of plywood in the living room with a circular saw! 😀

So, drink in hand, away I went. Cutting, cutting. La-de-da. After about 20 minutes, I realized that I could no longer see my TV, stereo, CD player, couch, chair etc due to all the sawdust flying around.

Yeah.

After the dust settled, I had a 1/8" thick coating of sawdust in every single nook and cranny of every piece of electronics, my couch, the ceiling fan...EVERYWHERE. 🙁

It took me a good two hours with a shopvac to get what I thought was all of it, up. Two weeks later, I was still finding sawdust everywhere. 🙁

Moral of the story: When drinking, anything you think of is a BAD idea.
 
Well we don't do it anymore but when the boys were younger we had a long hallway with a door at each end.
We invented a game called hallway soccer. Them at one end and me at the other.
The goal was to hit the door on the other end for a score. You couldn't go past the bookshelf halfway down the hall you had to stay on your end. If you took the hallway light out it was a penalty.
We used one of those soft soccer balls kind of like a heavy foam ball.
I don't think my wife was very crazy about us playing it, but the boys sure liked it.
 
I fap in the house...



On a serious note, me and my brother throw football in the house. We got good accuracy, so we haven't broke anything yet.

My dad had a saying like that. He'd be out at closing time, 2AM in WA. Somebody would say, "hey, I have a good idea!"

NOBODY has a good idea at 2AM😛

I did that at work. I used my research lab as a workshop to surpise my girlfriend by making her something that I couldn't find in stores. I had a hell of a time cleaning that up, but the sawdust smelled a lot better than the room usually does.

Invented by my girlfriend a few years ago, my friend and I occasionally do a little thing we call "shopping carts." You need a minimum of two idiots in a car... one driving (1), and one holding a shopping cart out of the passenger window (2). (Both should ideally be sober.) While idiot 2 holds on to the shopping cart, idiot 1 floors the car until the cart is doing a reasonable speed. Then the car brakes or turns sharply shortly after idiot 2 lets go of the shopping cart. I've seen them do multiple flips after hitting curbs. I've inspected them after such shenanigans and have yet to find permanent damage to a single cart! (I can't say the same about barely noticeable little white marks in the curb.)
 
i swing golf clubs all day, practice putting/chipping.

i throw pitches down my hallway into a laundry basket with tennis balls.

i did shoot a bb gun inside once, that window was replaced.
