re: Worst "crime" did you commit in HS?

MIP...multiple times.

"Beasting" with a bunch of us in my buddy's big car, rutting lawns, grabbing trash cans and slinging them into front yards, drive-by egging people and other cars to get them to chase us so we could ditch them, mailbox bashing and underage drinking, fireworks wars... and several big brawls with rival high school kids etc.

We were dicks. But it was fun.
Could not have survived that unscathed with no criminal record in these days of smart phones and home security cameras.

After a kid stole one of my mowing jobs while I was on vacation, I snuck out at night and dumped the oil out of his family lawnmower. The engine seised up.

I got the job back and his dad never let him use the new lawnmower on other lawns.

Savage.

Sold a LOT of drugs in high school. Mostly pot and ludes but also hash, some coke and prescription drugs. Was basically a drug mule serving the Cobb County area of Atlanta as a middleman between the drug dealers on the west side of Atlanta and the suburban users across the river in Cobb County who were terrified to cross the river but liked getting high.

Manufactured window pane acid and distributed it.

Bought half pints of Heaven Hil Bourbon and Vodka for $1 and resold in the parking lot of school, a local game room parking lot and Six Flags parking lot for $5 a half pint.

Every home football game Friday I would buy 100 tickets to the game for $1 each and resell them at the gate for $2....they gate price was $3. Folks would line up to by those half price tickets.

Sold beer, shots and cigarettes, by the pack or one at a time, at chicken and dog fights that my Grandfather and Uncle ran...did this at the age of 8 or so until I was a senior in High School. Did the same thing at their floating card games all over Atlanta and east Alabama. While not illegal I also sold sandwiches, hot dogs and chips at these "events". This was completely legit but I also ran the concession stand at their ill-fated auto auction.

Shuttled old cars to auto auctions for them from the time I was 9 or so...old enough to reach the pedals and see over the steering wheel.

I also shuttled the women in their "employee" from motel to motel when I was big enough to reach the pedals and see over the steering wheel. This was a great gig, most of the time the women would tip me and so would their "date".

I was not on a path that was conducive to becoming a fully functioning member of society but I was lucky to outrun my past...but I had a helluva childhood!

I was a "key carrier" and used to sell electronics at a vastly discounted rate out of the pickup window out of now long out of business big box store in Cortana mall to supplement my $5.50 an hour paycheck. This was back in the mid-to-late 90s. Now that I'm much older, I realize how bad that could've been if we'd have gotten caught. Of course at the time, I was 15-16, so maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. My parents would've whipped my arse like nothing else though.

Got pulled over for racing in a neighborhood and I had a warrant for my arrest because I forgot to pay a seatbelt ticket. Got arrested and my dad didn't feel like driving up to the jail to bail me out so he sent my brother. On the way to bail me out my brother got pulled over and he had a suspended license. My dad had to come up to the jail to bail both of us out

Got caught drinking at a football game and grinding on the assistant principle. She loved me and laughed but another teacher told the principle and he hated me.

Got suspended from school for 2 weeks. The two weeks in alternative school were a trip, felt like prison.

Tried to steal the goal post that were torn down after a winless 100 plus, team finally won. We didn’t make into the woods. A politician was with me. Good times.
