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...

What would your mother think?My mum used to be a violin teacher. She taught a thirteen-year-old girl who was usually quite conscientious, but for a few weeks she didn't seem to have done any practice and wasn't making any progress. So she gave her this massive bollocking, at one point asking her, "What would your mother think if I phoned her up and told her you haven't done any practice?"
The girl immediately burst into tears - her mother had died three weeks previously!
Not really her fault, but trust my mum to go too far...
After apologising and mopping this poor girl up, mum went storming into the head of music's classroom demanding to know why she hadn't been informed - the head of music hadn't been informed either. Turns out the headmistress knew, but hadn't thought to tell any of the girl's teachers. What a knob jockey.
