What is The Zaniest Thing You've Ever Done?

  My most zany thing was back in 1970 when I lived in Maryland....I was working for the Pr. Geo. Co. P.D. and also had a part time job in the evening working for Giant Food in their payroll/personnel dept.....one evening, my boss at Giant Food in Hyattsville, phoned me and told me that a coworker of his was going to come down to the office and that if I would provide him with transportation to where they were meeting, I could have the rest of the evening off and he would write in my time as though I'd worked the whole evening as usual....GREAT! I thought......so when the guy came down, we left in my car and he began directing me to the meeting place....funny thing was, he wouldn't tell me WHERE it was...he would only tell me where to turn next....I thought this was odd and kinda dumb, since we would be arriving there eventually anyway.....but, I was presented with an opportunity to get even and I took it.....as we were "tooling up" the Baltimore Pkwy, which was jam-packed with rush hour traffic, I had no idea which direction we were going to head in next, so I took the middle lane of the three lanes going North on our side of the Pkwy......pretty soon, the guy pointed to a Giant Food Store ahead on the left and said, "See that Giant Food Store?"...so I managed to pull into the left lane....but he then said, "but I'm going to that nightclub over there on the right".....terrific....now I'm stuck in the left lane, rush hour....I slowed down, hoping to get behind someone and pull across the lanes....no such luck....I sped up some, hoping to pull ahead of someone and cross the lanes...no such luck....the cars kept pace with me no matter what I did....so I FLOORBOARDED my spiffy little '66 Malibu, pulling ahead of the cars in ALL three lanes and took a 90 degree turn across all three lanes and roared into the parking lot of the nightclub....I was LMAO because I was so relieved we'd actually made it without getting hit.....the guy almost had a heart attack! He bought me a drink...heheheheh
  

  So....what's yours?

  I don't think the "craziest" thing I ever did, should even be posted on this board.... but your story reminds me of ONE of the crazy things I have done.....(I could tell you things that would give you night-mares) but here is a “not so crazy one”

  Years ago, before I met my wife (and Jesus was just a lad), I was driving on the interstate with some "friends" to see a concert. It was still day-light, and everyone was hyped to see the show and party for the weekend.

  A car with three guys pulls along-side us as we are driving. They seemed to want to “race” and kept making eye contact. So being the young male that I was…. Heh heh… I decided “what the heck” I would just give them a run for their money. I smack down on the gas … and we’re off!

  For about forty or so miles, we are neck in neck… one minute ahead, the next behind. The idiot in my back seat rolls his window down and shoots the bird as we pass our “opponents” , and thus begins a verbal war between two cars, at 90 mph.

  At some point, it got really nasty… and to this day, I don’t know what I was thinking. I hit the brakes, signalling that I was ready to “throw down” with these punks, and they acknowledged. Another half-mile, we reach an exit ramp, and our “opponents” jumped on it… with me right on their tail.

  They pull into the parking lot of a gas station, and my “crew” and I jump out, ready to bash some heads….

  In an instant, I see three (seemingly college age kids) jump out of their sedan.

  Before I knew what happened, I hear …. “freeze! Get your F%Cking face on the ground!” The three “college students” pull out 9mm pistols…. And little silver undercover badges…. They were drug enforcement agents!

  It was a tough thing explaining why I just challenged three cops to a fight. It was an even tougher thing to go to a concert with a wet spot on my jeans….

  Luckily, no one was hurt. It was definitely a stupid thing. That happened about 16 years ago… if my damaged memory serves me…. And to this day, when I drive on the interstate… I keep my eyes on the road… straight ahead… I have my wife in the passenger’s seat, and my son in the back seat… if you wanna pass me… go right ahead.

  Ok – this is not easy to tell but IT IS THE WORST thing I’ve EVER DONE !!!

  I was almost 16 – my son was almost 2 – just had my first own house (on the ground floor) – It was nice – We was happy, happy, happy … have to deal with the money make choices about the priorities – rent, food, furniture, well you know – but one day I felt like my baby boy didn’t have nice clothes, so this special morning I saw something nice and thought what the HECK ! … I don’t care … He deserve it !!! So I bought it … just right then I couldn’t wait for him to wear it … HE WAS SO CUTE … then I’ve cooked : mashed potatoes and carrots with minced beef mixed together – while he was eating I was reading, didn’t really took care of what he was doing – and when I’ve raised my head – I saw him playing with the food putting it all over his brand new clothes on purpose. I knowing that I’ve have stated since and even before he was born that I would never use any kind of violence on him (cause I knew that it wouldn't help AT ALL) I didn’t take any time to think about what I’ve done – I’ve SLAP HIM !!! I mean at not even 2 years he was still a baby and he was just playing ! that's it). … First he couldn’t breathe anymore at least a 1/2 second (that was very scary) … I took him in my arms – wondering what I have to do … his cheek was RED, I mean RED !!! His eyes wide open, then he began to crying like hell … I couldn’t believe I’ve done that to my baby !!! I FELT SO BAD, BAD, BAD … I thought about it A LOT … wondering how comes ??? And figure out that during that stupid instant that I’ve only realised that he was messing up his only new brand clothes with the food (SO WHAT ?) … Basically it was only because I wanted to show how he was cut in it when we were supposed to play outside together. I tought DAMNIT … I’m able to fell into that STUPID WAY OF BEHING !!! (just like my mother and lots of JWs and worldies parents for such STUPID reasons like : what do you think they are gonna think about me !!! ) … I THOUGHT NEVER AGAIN … NEVER !

  But I did once Again, he was 12 and I was 26, his was right and I was right (IT was only about a misunderstanding) We apologized to each other …

  French,you were still just a child yourself,and you were grown up enough to know,not to do that.

  Even ,myself,I spanked my daughter who is now 15 because I felt it was the right thing because the JW's said so...bleck! why did I listen to those fools thinking it was the right thing to do was smack your child even when they are 2 yrs old.Imagine a baby sitting at the KH for 2 hours bored and being made to sit still that long.I have a two yr old now and I would never put her threw that and I would never spank her. I still tell my older daughter sorry and I will keep telling her that ,that I listened to those fools.Well that was my craziest thing I ever did ..listen to the JW's..

  It gets crazy taking care of a kid sometimes. Don't fret yourself. A lifetime of good mothering or fathering is not ruined by one or two incidents of smacking.

  The zaniest thing I have ever done was one week I quit my job in Oklahoma and then drove clear across the country and back over the course of two weeks. I lived on my credit cards, went to Vegas and the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon and San Francisco - and slept in my car most nights and picked my next destination by flipping through the map when I woke up.

  Ah, those were the days...
