I mean everyone must have done something they aren't super proud off.

As an example during primary school we had a class trip to the lake district (I'm from N Ireland) we were staying in an old victoriana style mansion (Rydal hall if I've remembered right.)

Anyway every one of us kids staying there decided it was haunted immediately and the guy I had to share a room with was so scared he made himself a crucifix out of basically twigs and strings.

I'm not sure why I did it but while he was sleeping I broke his crucifix apart and then put joke shop blood all over it. I woke up to him, crying this eyes out and just decided never to admit it was a joke or me who did it.

I'm interested in Similar stories.

I have a million of these because for most of my young life I was a real piece of garbo. I've already talked on here once about my ghostbusters thing so I won't go into that again because it's in my post history but here are a few choice examples:

Had my lab partner completely convinced marshmallows were a special kind of sap harvested from exotic trees.

Many grievances against my sisters including: Convincing them that milk containers at dairy processing plants contained cows stacked vertically (complete with sound effects while we drove past) for many years, ghost living in the attic (me), and that my father had another family

Developed software for the express purpose of cheating in Runescape and then sold both the software and the rewards won by the software. Not my best moment but not quite as bad as

Bought herbal smoke alternatives off the internet and fumed them with liquor and wormwood and sold it to my high school aged peers as weed.

Marshmallows originally were made from a herbaceous perennial called Marsh Mallow (Althaea officinalis). I think you get a pass on that one.
