Things you did as a kid and learnt never to do again

[MikeySmall]

I blew into a pencil sharpener and got shavings in my eye. I couldn't open my eye for about a week.

Light a match and hold onto it until it burns your fingers.

 

[Gazwag]

Pretending to be a pole vaulter with a thin branch from a tree that works for a few seconds = broken arm

 

[Uncle Buck]

Sodium Chlorate, sugar, gun casings, matches and Lancing College squash court...

My dad was drilling a hole in my bedroom wall, he put the drill down and said "don't touch the bit, it's very hot". So, naturally when he goes out the room, I touched it ... and it was hot. I was so embarassed I didn't tell anyone and wore woollen gloves to cover it up. I must have been about 6.

I reckon I was about 6. Inquisitive age unfortunately.

Also trying to get through a set of lights on a bike before they turned red (you know in the oldern days when cyclists we law abiding citizens) off the seat pushing as hard as I could - and the chain broke - luckily there were no cars around but I still have the scars on my shoulder and elbow.

Put my finger in the light socket in the fridge.

 

[See-Goals]

Getting lost in a labrynth of council houses playing manhunt, so much so that I didn't make it back to my mates house in time - SHIT MYSELF and had to swipe a pair of his mums knickers off the radiator to wear home.

Around 6 years old I thought I'd have a go at shaving using my Grandad's trusty Wilksinson's Sword (In the days they were pretty much unprotected (Mid 60's)) funny how you don't notice you're cut straightaway and carry on shaving three of four more times before the sight of blood mixing with shaving foam and water makes you panic like crazy, Nan was not impressed and I seem to recall I wasn't allowed a bun off the Knowles Bakery Van!

It's just so dam alluring!!!!!!!!!

 

[SurreySeagulls]

asked my dad what a prostitute was (i was about 10 at the time) he duly told me so I looked at my brother and called him one and subsequently got wrapped over the knuckles by the screw driver my dad was holding.

Haven't called my brother a prostitute since.

f***ed about with anything electrical whilst its plugged in

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Press the bright red car cigarette lighter onto my thumb. Ouchie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same, I had been to the park with my father. He asked if I wanted a McDonalds, I said no. Moments later I had burnt my finger. My dads way of cheering me up? Getting me a f***ing Mcdonalds.
