I Drank Meths (pointless teenage things you did to shock)As a teenager I spent a whole summer bare-foot to show I wasn't going to bow to rules imposed by society.
(soon forgot all about that idea when the pavements got icy, I tell you)
I was telling a friend this when he trumped my story - he used to put water in a meths bottle and drink it in public. See, that'll bring down society.
What similarly classy nonsense have you got up to in the name of rebellion?
Apologies for accidentally closing this question earlier

And the memories come flooding back.So it was the mid-eighties, unemployment was high and round my neck of the woods it was all doom, gloom and the dole.
I was midway through my final year at school and thought "fuck it, there's no jobs going, I go to the worst school in the world and have never studied once, I'm out of here".
I left school about three months before the exams and got a job.
Looking back it was a pretty stupid thing to do as now I'm really jealous of people who had the chance to go to Uni. If I could do it all again, I'd have followed my dream of becoming a vet (something my careers teacher thought was way beyond anyone who went to my school).
Anyway, it's not all bad. I went on to earn shitloads of money in the city and most people I went to school with are lucky if their dole money comes in on time.
It's a funny old world ;)
