re: Childhood pranks you did that are now not funny

We use to put quarters on a light bulb for 10 minutes then take it off and stick it on someones bear skin. It was dumb but funny.

We tied balloons to my neighbor's little brothers arm's and told him if he jumped off the roof he could fly.

One year when I was a kid, I'd guess 10 or so, my cousins and I filled a bunch of water balloons while staying at a condo in Gulf Shores. We were on the 7th story or so and the platform from the beach to the condo ran by our balcony. The shower station was well within range. We would wait for a single person or group to reach the shower station and then we'd drop the bombs and hide. I'm not going to lie, it was a blast but it was a dick move.

We even hit some people in the parking lot from the front balcony. Even bigger dick move.

fricking kids, man.

We used to dig deep holes on the beach. Then put a towel over it and sprinkle sand on the towel. I'm sure someone broke a leg or two.

My older brothers once dug a four foot hole in the middle of a trail in the wooded area behind our house. They covered it with sticks and told me if we run through the trail fast enough, we could sneak up on the alligator at the end of it. They jumped over the hole. I didn't.

spun a quarter and dropped the salt/pepper shaker on it making a hole in the bottom of it.

We were 10 years old and the neighbors had this 4 year old boy who was carrying around this stray cat one day. My friends and I would ask him if he loved his cat. He would say yes. So we would say give him a hug then. He would then bear hug this cat really hard and the cat would let out a loud scream. We would laugh so hard we would start crying. We were lucky that cat did not tear that little boy up.

Egging vehicles,screwing the neighbor's dog,successfully finding buddy's pot plants stealing and smoking them. Calling the neighborhood dummy to come over then barage the idiot with rotten tomatoes.

Damn kids

Kidnapped a bank executives son as a prank in high school and left a ransom note asking for a bag of skittles and a six pack of coke. The bank executive freaked out and took the ransom note as a serious threat and called in the FBI and Secret Service.

We spent the rest of the day swimming in the backyard when the federal agents busted down the fence and my parents front door with guns everywhere.

They let us off with a warning and his father went to town on his son for allowing us to pull such a prank. Poor kid didn't have any choice. My parents beat the shite out of me for the $2k in damages to the door and door frame plus fence they busted down.

what about running around grocery stores with your brother throwing groceries all over the floor
