Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

Holiday theftOn Holiday in Cornwall once, my sis and I had been to the beach. We returned to the apartment to find our parents having a snooze. I was bored senseless and to find something to do I decided to take my swiss armyknife and pick the lock of the electricity meter (this was back in the day when you had to continously pump £ coins into a meter to get any leccie). When my parents woke I got such a scolding I went out for the rest of the day in a grump. Cue the day getting dark and my parents calling me in from the green at the back "hmm" I thought, "they obviously want to say sorry for shouting at me"
nope:
"We've run out of cash,can you do that thing to the meter again?" We spent the rest of the holiday putting the same coin in the meter over and over and got a weeks worth of leccie for free.
