The most childish thing you've done as an adultDavros' Grandad confesses: On visiting my ex-wife's house, I wiped my bum on the toothbrush belonging to the bloke she ran off with. At least, I thought it was his toothbrush.

Someone mentioned phones...Years and years ago (how long?... well before t’internet) I worked for an automotive manufacturer.
I was in IT and a guy in the office next door was the Work Study guy. He was alright but a bit staid…. 30ish going on 50. George was always on the phone.
One day, I sneaked into his office unscrewed the Bakelite (I said it was a long time ago) mouthpiece of his telephone, and inserted some card and metal foil cut to shape and refitted the cover.
My neighbour an old boy, Dan (definitely 50s going on 16), and myself sat in giggles as we could overhear the usual one-sided conversation :
George : yadda yadda yadda
Other : ………..
George (raised voice) : yadda yadda yadda
Other : ……….
George (shouting) : yadda yadda yadda
Other : ……….
George (screaming) : “I am bloody shouting!”
After 5 or so calls with Dan busting a gut, George comes and asks me if he can borrow my phone to report a fault on his….
Dan collapses in a heap and I have to confess my prank…
George didn’t speak to me for a week… which wasn’t helped by the fact that Dan and I used to call each other and shout down the phone… “I can’t hear you!”
I love practical jokes, me….
