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

ethnic coolIn our mono-ethnic school, there was not a dark face to be seen. That's what gave me the idea of pretending to be black in order to piss teachers off and get kudos from peers (who were vaguely aware that Michael Jackson was cool - it was the 80s, 'before' he was entirely white).
I effected this by affecting a Jamaican patois ("I be disrespectin' de school, mon") and loping about the place with what I imagined to be a Rastafarian gait. The fact that I was a whey-faced geek did nothing to put me off. As far as I was concerned, I was as ethnic as Bob Marley.
This phase ended abruptly at a school disco, when a trio of legitimate black people mistook my efforts for parody and beat ne to within a hairs' breadth of my life.
