I'm not proud of any of what I share.

I grew up on the island of Key West and a few in the lower Keys.

We often collected glass bottles (beer and soda) and we'd throw em at road signs. The mile marker signs were worth the most points. These signs are small. Not much wider than the posts.

During my teen years, the bridges were all being replaced. Several friends rerouted the road construction barrels to direct traffic off the road onto the old road. No one was hurt, but wow, what a traffic back-up on an already two-lane US-1.

We often took lobster out of season or shorts.

I don't recall who claimed responsibility, but someone from my sister's class somehow got a VW Beetle up on the roof of KWHS.

In the late 70's / early 80's the vast majority of marijuana was smuggled through the Florida Keys. A friend and I found a bale of pot affectionately called a "Square Grouper" or "Floater." When unpacked, it swelled to the size of filing a 55-gallon trash can. Unfortunately, it had gotten somewhat wet and wasn't very potent.

The Miami Herald wrote an entire week-long series on the life of the Key West youth.

We would get an old purse from my mom or friends moms and make it look full. tie fishing line to it, and hide in the bushes. When someone would get out their car, we would pull it away as they would try to pick it up.

It was all fun and games until we did it to one of the guards at the country club of LA. They were not happy about that harmless prank

Nope. The other thread is focused on common childhood experiences. This thread is focused solely on mischief.

Dang, y'all were some bad mfers. Worst I can remember doing is throwing dirt clods through the broken window of an empty apartment.

Except that it literally asks for "crime" in the title. So your definition of mischief must be completely different with the rest of the world.

I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

When I was a kid a couple of us would hide behind bushes and as cars came by our residential street we would shoot them with waterguns, seemed fun at the time. No real harm done but it pissed a lot of people off, they always seemed to think we were spraying their cars with acid or something.

What was more harmful was throwing rocks at trains. Bigger kids from down the street would egg us into it. It was a dumb thing to do. We thought it was cool to see the rocks bounce off the cars on freight trains. But one time we threw some at a passenger train and I busted a window. I can’t believe I ever did anything so dumb. Lived in terror for about a month thinking the railroad was gonna track me down somehow. Never did that again.

Other than that just aggravating stuff. When I was older would drive my younger sisters to the store and change parking spots after they went in, I always got an inordinately large kick out of that for some reason.

My mom used to drag the water hose all the way around the house to water plants. I would go out the back door and turn the water off, and then crawl under the house, took her a few times to catch me at it, boy she would get aggravated.

Change grades on report cards.

Did this one my senior year once I had all necessary credits to graduate. My girlfriend worked in the front office and I convi ced her to grab me a bunch of school letterhead paper and changed mine.

Other than that,just the normal underage drinking and chasing tail. We once got busted for "breaking and entering" an old abandoned house that ended up being some woman police officer's dead mother's house. Had write apology letter to her.

It was common for Key West kids to throw eggs at drunk tourists.

Turn the headlights off and push a bike rider so he'd wreck.

For those of you that have visited Key West you are aware of the Conch Train guided tour.
As kids we'd stand on the top of one of the canal bridges and moon the train and then jump off the bridge.

Coiled up a realistic looking rubber snake and put it in the shower just before my mother headed in to bathe. She was not amused.

Egged a few houses and cars in 9th or 10th grade. I honestly did not know that eggs will damage paint so felt bad about it afterwards. My crew and I were very lucky we didn't get arrested for that night of fun. Switched to rolling houses with TP after that.

Used to throw beer bottles at road signs every wknd.

At some point it became a thing to steal road signs. One night we had so many in the back of my truck it was nearly dragging the ground.

Some friends and I used to climb up onto the top of our high school and smoke weed.

Another guy and I rode around middle of the night once and blasted several mercury vapor lights with shotguns.

Thankful to have outgrown my foolishness and not be incarcerated.

Shot bottle rockets at cars passing by. One ran off the road when the bottle rocket went in an open window. We scattered when the police showed up.

Stole wine from the Hillel house kitchen when our church youth group went to learn about Judaism.

Bought cigarettes with my middle school ID.

Shot bb guns at windows. We thought they were bouncing off the glass. Turns out the windows were double paned and our bbs were breaking the first and bouncing off the second.
