I punched a nerdy kid in the back of the head in high school when he was trying to run away from me after making some snide remark towards me.

Was actually pretty comical, he turned to run away after realizing I had herd what he said under his breath and I just jabbed him right in the back of his head, his head popped down and his face went up and this squeaky nerd scream came out of him.

Everyone stopped dead in their tracks to see the commotion.

I kind of felt bad after that and was even somewhat nice to him also.

I was never the bully type but for some reason he really annoyed the crap out of me until I couldn't take it anymore.

Terminal velocity. I'm sure it would have hurt if it landed square on someones head, but probably nothing more then a headache.

I wonder just how screwed up that kid is now(15 years later).

so....wanna do some meth..?

Not anymore. Well, yes, if it was legal.

That kid is probably much like the retard in yankeesfan's story. Good job there :p

Edit: but with parents like that, maybe the child is better off being retarded/not knowing any better.

With the amount of time that has passed (15yrs) I often wonder after reading so many of the dumbass posts on here if that person isn't posting on here.

A penny would have killed someone from there.

pretty certain that's impossible.

the golf ball, in just the right circumstances maybe, but I'd say it's a low risk.

For me, I've done some pretty rotten things, but this is the one I feel worst about:

A few years ago, I had a friend Chris who was trying to set me up with some girl he knew, for some reason. So me, him, and this girl are going to head to the movies. He picks me up, then we drive over to the girls house to get her. The girl walks out of her house and my jaw hits the floor....she's like 5 5 220, horrible acne, stringy looking hair. She gets in the car and starts smoking a cigarette until my friend asks her to do that outside.

So the girl has to get money from an ATM so we drive about 1/4 mile to the nearest one. While she's inside I start asking my friend WTF he was thinking, and he says
"sorry, I had never met her before I only knew her online...what do you want to do?"
to which I replied "Go."
Him: "Go?"
Me: "Yes. Put your fscking car in drive and hit the gas."
Him: "While she's in there?"
Me: "YES. GO GO GO GO she's coming out! GOOO!!"
Him: "Ah shit..fine..." *screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

As I looked in the rear view mirror I saw the girl with a bewildered look on her face. My friend would later tell her I was "at a crossroads in life" or some other excuse. I didn't enjoy the movie we saw either. I was too worried about if the girl made it the 1/4 mile back home safely. I still feel bad about that to this day.

:laugh: you sure have a way with the ladies, Assipter

I really haven't done anything terrible. Stupid? Oh yeah, but nothing that makes me cringe when I think about it.

Growing up, one of my neighbors was a licensed day care provider. One day, one of the toddlers she tended got a black eye. My neighbor claimed she didn't know how it happened, that perhaps she had an accident on the swing set. The toddler's mother went ape-shit and got the cops involved. So the next day a detective shows up at our house and questions us all. I, being the wannabe hero, make up a story that implicates the neighborhood troublemaker. I even take a ride in the detective's car to show him where this kid lives. I'm not sure that anything ever came of it, but it still makes me feel like shit when I think about it.

When I was like 6 or maybe 7 I had a neighbor about the same age. He was pretty dumb, and EVERYONE in the neighborhood used to pick on him. One day I saw he had a model duck decoy in his yard. Apparently his dad used it for hunting. It was a real nice decoy. So I saw him in his yard one day, went over, picked the duck up and started walking off. He started crying and screaming about how it was his dad's and he'd be in huge trouble if it disappeared, but I took it anyway and put it in my clubhouse. I still feel bad about it to this day. I never really picked on this kid, but instead of being a friend towards him I just added to his misery. I felt terrible as soon as I did it. I brought the duck back several days later, and I might've even apologized, but man I still feel like shit when I think of that.

I sometimes think of trying to find him just so I can apologize.

When I was in college our wing in the dorm was the gaming wing. We all knew each other, so I guess you could say we were all friends. Well, after I moved out I started working at the local EB Games. One of my coworkers was the girlfriend of one of the guys that lived in my wing. Things happened, time passed and I ended up sleeping with her.

I hate myself so much for that. I cannot believe that I ever did that to him. He never hit me for it, and he really should have because I'm such a piece of shit.

hmmm

I signed a court order that removes any parental rights that my fiancee (possibly ex-fiancee, I haven't heard from her since new years day) has to our baby daughter forever, to prevent her parents from trying to get custody of my daughter and take her to England.

I know that if Michelle was in a "normal" state she would be absolutely crushed.

I did the right thing for my daughter but I will live with the guilt of what I've done for the rest of my life.

Dropped a cinder block from the window of a 4 story dormitory at college. Have no idea WTH we were thinking, IIRC we wanted to see how it would "sound" when it crashed to the sidewalk. Window was just up and to the right of the entrance to the building. Next day when we were more sober, thought about what could have happened had someone been walking in or out of the building at the same time. Thinking back on it now, 12 years later, I could almost cut one my my arms off and deck myself with it.

Another time, same dorm... Ordered a pizza to be delivered... Waited in the bushes for pizza guy to show up, when he went inside to deliver our pizza to a dorm room that didnt exist, stole 4 pies out of his car... Hid back in the bushes until he came back out. When he went to put the pie back in, he realized what had happened and almost started to cry, presumably because it was coming out of his pocket. Then he proceeded to ask two black guys that were walking away from the parking lot if they stole his pizza. Sad.

hmmm a few things i feel badly about

I used to torment this kid in jr high he was exteremely annoying. I would torment him, leave him alone, but he was prideful and would always come back for more or try to fit in that one sly remark. So we would put him in lockers and tie him up in the soccer ball bag. The worst was we were in gym playing basketball and I had a baseball bat. I decided to hit the basketball with the bat and see how far it could go. It went flying all the way across the gym and it just so happened that it hit this kid in the back of the head and his glasses went flyinnnnnngg and his face planted into the ground, that was pretty bad and there was a broken nose too.

Then there are some shamefult hings I do which I dont even want to talk about!

Well one more but these are friends of my that did this. They met some girl over one of those live links phone services when they were 17 or so. The girl told them she was pretty thin blah blah so they ended up going over her house. When they showed up and went inside her and her friend were there and they were pretty huge. Well they went into panick mode and wanted to get out of there. Her and her friend go upstairs to her room for a minute and for some reason my friends rob the girls house. They take like the tv and the stereo and run for the car and take off to never return.

I joined the Navy at 17.
The recruiter said "Oh we give you college money", "great training", "free healthcare"
3 months after joining we declared war.
ugh

I came up with a few new words for my recruiter that day.
