re: Tell me about a time you really fricked something up and got away with it.

I took a shot of something at the bar that made me immediately nauseous. It went down wrong or, something but I was at immediate throw up control. Only problem. The place was packed and I was pretty far from the restrooms. Which had huge lines by that time anyway.

So I tried to hold it in. It wasn't having it. There was 4 people within a foot of me stand to my front. It came up and (while trying to hold it) I gleeked a thin stream that got 3 of them in the back and hair. All girls btw. One guy saw it to my right. I happened to know him. Ran to the back exit and blew chunks. Went to a near by store and bought tooth brush, mouthwash etc. Went back to own up to it and continue drinking. The witness said right when I left the party headed to another club like nothing ever happened. He said no one else was looking when it happened.

I must have been surrounded by 30 people in a hot spot corner by the bar and only one person saw it.

I was leaving a shopping mall in Asheville and was surrounded by a group of unruly youth. They had been harassing my wife and daughter. I tried to back away but they pushed the issue, then pushed me.

In defending myself and family, I fricked one of them up... but may not be getting away with it.

During Katrina, I may or might not have drove through a gate bar at a governmental facility. The gate was not operating at the time and I had to get home.

Back when I was in college I had a friend who worked at Walmart as a cashier. He would hook up our close friends big time. It was crazy as I was with a friend one time when he did it (I wasn't going to risk it), but none of them ever got caught.

Buddy would fill up cart with whatever he wanted and went to pay at friends cash register. The friend would scan all the stuff but most of the stuff would be fake scanned. Like he would run it over the scanner but not let the barcode read it and ring it up. Basically I think it turned off the security thing but never got rung up. So at the end of ringing up everything, it would usually be 20$ or less for a buggy full of stuff.

Passed out a Top Secret message through the cage of a comm center back in the old days when they were hand delivered (to someone without a TS clearance). My boss could have fried my arse but he was gracious and just let me stress out about it for a month or two.

Jeez Jim, did this two weekends ago.. flipped a 4 wheeler backwards like a dumb ace while loading in the bed of my truck as the ramp collapsed. Fell straight back on lower back and hit my head on the pavement giving me a concussion, front wheels stayed on tailgate or would have landed on me, phew

Yeah things we never think twice about are so dangerous. It's awkward to stand beside it and goose the throttle but much safer. Glad you werent hurt any worse.

I wasn't the main one involved in this, I was just part of it, but all I am going to say is that I was with a group of people who met up with another group of people who all knew each other and there was an opportunity that was taken in which if we were caught doing, we would have been in some serious trouble.

Later on we found out that there were some other kids (this was when I was a teenager) that happened to be around the area when it was discovered what happened and they got into trouble for it. I am talking about police took them off in handcuffs. I felt horrible about it, but it involved 8-10 people and a few were several years older.. And they had been in trouble before so no one was snitching..

There was this one time as kids, me, brother and neighbor (our age) got some fireworks from neighbors dad. It should also be noted that fireworks were at that time, illegal in my state but the dad got some from out of state.

Anyway, he gave us all some bottle rockets to play around with but we eventually set up shop to see if we could hit the cars riding by. Granted this was out in the middle of the country and we were only really shooting at semi's, just trying to hit the cargo containers of the trucks.

We had it set up right, one kid was looking up the road, the other kid was looking down the road, as the 3rd one would light the bottle rocket to time it up with the trucks. We shot a few off but we never really came close to hitting anything.

However this cop car comes up and we run and hide. The cop really had no clue who was doing it and such but we ended up coming out of hiding, as we thought he saw us (hindsight, Im pretty sure he was bluffing about seeing us). Basically he took the fireworks (only like 10% of them ) and gave us a stern talking to and talked to the neighbors dad who was drunk as frick (4th of july) and probably didn't remember it the next day. But what was funny, was the cop said that we hit his car and was shinning the flash light over the hood trying to show us a mark where he hit it. All 3 of us knew for a fact that we didn't hit his car, as we didn't hit any vehicle.

Looking back it was pretty stupid but luckily no one got hurt and our aim sucked.

In high school I was with my brother and a friend one night cruising around looking for shite to get into. There was a fairly new subdivision that was under construction not far from where we lived and we decided to go take a look around. At the top of a big hill we came across 2 large wooden spools that had been used for wiring up the neighborhood. The three of us managed to lift them up off their side and give them a shove down the hill before hopping in the car and driving as fast as we could out of the subdivision.

In retrospect, it was incredibly stupid because there were a couple of houses under construction at the bottom of the hill and probably would have destroyed them if those giant spools had hit them. Worse yet is they could have rolled right out of the neighborhood and into the main road. Fortunately for us, they hit the curb at the bottom of the hill and presumably launched into the woods. We didn’t stop or slow down to check but I was watching out of the back window when the first one went airborn about 30 feet in the air after hitting the curb. We were scared shitless for weeks because we had no idea what kind of damage we had done and there was no way we were going back to find out.

A buddy and I were hitting golf balls in the backyard of his house. His backyard didn't have fence on one side so you could see into his neighbor's carport. I knifed a shot straight into that carport. That golf ball acted like it was in a pinball machine bouncing from the wall to the car that was parked there.

We ran and hid, I went home a little while later. Nothing ever came of it but we were two freaked out 11 year olds.
