Going Too FarEver had one of your mates go too far? Back when I was a teenager I went to stay with a friend in the country. We took his dog for a walk in some woods - which was fun.
We came across a breeding pen for the local pheasant shoot - which was interesting.
But then my friend broke into the cages, grabbed a pheasant, strangled it and proceeded to throw it around, only managing to rescue it from his dog's jaws seconds before a gamekeeper turned up to see what the hell was going on. Now, that was a bit too far...

I stood on a beggarIt was at a wedding in Poland. There, they throw coins instead of confetti and you often get a group of scruffy looking beggar children hanging around to collect the coins so they can run off to buy some glue.
As soon as the coins went up in the air, they rushed in, knocking the bride and groom out of the way to grasp the coins with grubby little fingers. I thought this was a little offensive and decided to act.
There was one maloderous urchin scrabbling round my feet so I lifted up my sole for him to get the large coin from there. Then, as he delved under, I crushed his pre-teen fingers with my solid leather heel.
He whined a bit and I kept my heel down until he whimpered. Then I kicked him over with my knee so he rolled on the floor. He looked at me with vicious young eyes, the insolent cur.
Had I gone too far?
