Not me, but my high school
It used to be a tradition at my old high school for the seniors to do a senior prank. Generally, these were harmless and fun, like turning a hallway into a beach or the student center into a rave club. The class ahead of mine was the last one to do it. They planned to turn the school into a farm.

Why were they the last to do it, you might ask?

Because they were all morons who showed up to prank the school while drunk off their asses. Apparently they wanted to put kiddie pools of fish around and turn one floor into a hayloft.

When the rest of us showed up to school, we found:

Over 1,000 fish in kiddie pools around the school. 700 weren't moving.
6 eels in pools
Hay everywhere
About 8 extremely upset chickens
And about 15,000 dollars worth of property damage.

Some morons had completely taken apart a bathroom, and the drunks decided that with the bathrooms out of order, people's lockers would do just fine. You know how most lockers have vents in them? Remember how expensive textbooks are? Yeah. Most of the freshman class got their entire stock of textbooks soaked in urine.

Everyone was appalled and disgusted. Everything smelled like urine and only 300 of the 1,000 fish were still alive. Turns out drunk people don't know much about making good habitats for fish to live in. The school reeked like rotting fish for DAYS. Also, extremely upset chickens can do a lot of damage in their own right. Most of the couches near where they were had to be replaced.

Rather than sitting around bitching about the mess, I jumped right in to cleaning it up. Some of the fish were still alive after all, and as the World's Biggest Softie I could hardly let them sit around and die with their fishy companions. So, me and maybe 4 other people started running around with buckets and bowls, grabbing all the live fish we could, and taking them to the bio lab. We were able to rescue about 300 fish, and 2 of the eels. We then took them to a pet store that had habitats for them all. It felt good to get those little critters to safety.

The class that did the pranking tried to make it up to us all by doing a stupid "reverse-prank" where they left a bunch of cakes and cookies in the cafeteria. Each cake had "sorry" written on it.

Seriously, though? Sorry is NOT enough to cut it! 700 helpless little animals died for no reason, and most of the freshmen had all their books ruined just in time for finals week. There was no reason why any of this needed to happen, and if the prankers had just had enough sense to put down the damn bottle none of this would have gone so wrong.

I lost my taste for both pranks and drunks after that. I'm fine with people having a few drinks, don't get me wrong, but once somebody's drunken behavior starts messing with other people's lives or results in senseless death, it is NOT okay. People need to learn their limits, and not get so wasted that they mess everything up for others.

/end rant.

I am with you buddy but....
Did they not get expelled from school?

It was right before graduation
And the whole senior class was involved. They couldn't expel them all, really. They just didn't make the graduation ceremony very pretty and made them graduate in a dungy gym rather than outside where all the other classes graduated.

Also, yes. The chickens were okay. Animal control got them, and they were sent to a shelter that takes in farm animals.

Perhaps
But I actually care what happens to the people around me, and don't like it when people kill other things senselessly. Some people call that being nice, but if you find it "boring" it's completely your right to do so.

Also, contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of ways to have a fantastic and interesting time without getting drunk. I lead a pretty exciting life, actually, and I've never touched a drop of booze.

Just sayin'.

I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

I get what you're saying
It's just a personal choice on my part. If people enjoy drinking, then I've got no problems with them doing it. The only time I have a problem with it is when people's drunken antics make the lives of the people around them worse. Like, if a person trashes their own apartment, that's not a problem really. They can fix it. If somebody trashes someone ELSE'S apartment, breaks somebody else's property, does some bodily function onto somebody, or worst of all gets another person killed, THEN I have a problem with it.

Drinking should be a purely personal choice. Once you effectively start making the choice for other people, or forcing others to deal with the consequences of your choice, it stops being personal and starts being destructive.

At least that's my opinion. But hey, what do I know? I'm boring. :-)

They were just fish for fucks sake!
I've swallowed live goldfish! Fish are like pakis, no good until dead!

Sorry, in all honesty, good prank gone bad, they should've been punished severely.
