Hmm.

Made a porn site with login and gave all my class mates access. Basically got everyone into paid sites.

Tricked most if my friends into giving me their email password. Then proceeded to release some of the material including one very sensitive letter from a girl I didn’t like to her ex boyfriend.

Probably did worse stuff that I can’t remember.

1. I used French half-francs (50 centimes, worth 5p each) in the vending machine. Each coin registered as 20p. I made sure I had plenty of half-francs on return from my 1991 and 1992 French trips. I got away with it for those 2 years until the caretaker cottoned on and the machines got replaced!

2. Not entirely naughty of me, but more of an unintentional set-up: I had a white paper bag full of sweets called "hail stones". They looked like ball bearings, in various bright colours. I took them on my school bus going home, and the paper bag split, spilling the hail stones down the aisle of the bus. Then I realised that I got the wrong bus, so before the driver arrived, I got off it and found my correct bus and got home ok. Next day, I found out that the driver of the 1st bus thought that the hail stones were expensive lab equipment fron the science department. The children protested that none of them did it and said that it was someone from another bus that did it. The driver didn't believe them so they all got given a lunchtime detention :p

3. Me and one other classmate scored 0 in a geography test. We had to re-sit the test in the following week and we both got low scores again. So the teacher gave us an after-school (detention). My parents then phoned the school to say that my grandma has died. So while it wasn't funny at the time, it did get me out of detention and the teacher didn't pursue it after that.

4. I head-butted one of the school bullies which floored him. I did kinda get a telling-off, but the teachers were laughing about it as well. This is because the bully has already been expelled from a previous school, and he got expelled from my school as well not long after :)

Also let off a few smoke and stink bombs

Yeah I did a few stink bombs as well. Also those devil bangers... remember those?

Got suspended from a very well respected public school for having an adult entertainment empire. I sold literature and imagery.
I was known as the porn baron.


Leg-end :D

Oh man I forgot this one. This is the honest truth. Seems really really weird now, but on our last assembly in secondary school, we have a whip round and bought a stripper for the head teacher.

She walked in, cracked her whip and got marched out by some of the teachers.

What were we thinking? :D

PMSL... IRL laughing!!

Encouraged my classmates to kick the door to our form room in, because it was locked and the teacher who would unlock it was late. We took turns to make sure no one was responsible individually, but everyone else got punished and I didn't. The busted lock meant we got to go straight in for months though :D

Circumvented the porn filter on a regular basis until we got caught by head of IT and had to review the usage policy. Again, I got told off much less than my mate even though it was my doing.

Barged the vending machines until we got free chocolate.

Generally I was a polite kid so even though I thought up pretty nasty stuff to do, I seemed to evade blame by suggesting it to the "bad" kids.

I got detention for playing conkers in the classroom...

Thought it was a bit harsh but I did my bird and wrote a nice essay about the perils of...playing conkers in the classroom. I tended to be goody two shoes most of the time, probably because when I was at school in the 60's and 70's, corporal punishment was very much a reality and frequently meted out in front of the whole class to serve as an example!

Kicked a football through an open window into the chess club sending a board the teacher was playing on.

Was incredible skill but 100% unintended. I was a good kid.

Pouring mercuary on a desk and playing with it. Stealing a roll of magnesium something tape, sticking it in locks and burning it. Bunsen burner fun. Usual exothermic reaction shenanigans.

God knows what chemistry is like these days? Was mental on the late 80s.

I never did anything bad until 6th form. The perfect record up to that point ended up with me being a head student and head of sound/lighting for productions, with keys to more or less everywhere, including the roof space above the hall (theoretically to rig lights) and every store room in the place.

I then abused the **** out of that privilege. Did get busted once, for reeking of weed, but after promising I didn't have anything on me right then (lie!), the head of 6th form let me go. She knew all about what we got up to, and was a lovely woman, just didn't want to be in a position where she'd have to discipline us for it.

Generally quite good compared to some of the things posted on here.

In primary school the worst thing was blocking one of the toilets, it would never overflow, just made it unusable for a while.

  • Secondary school I punched someone in the face when they confronted me for something I hadn't done, not really my fault as I was backed into a corner, but it was just as the teacher turned around and saw it, got a Friday detention that my parents complained to the school and I got away with it.
  • Setting up a fake email account pretending to be someone else in the class telling a teacher what I thought of them, caused a lot of hatred from that teacher for a while.

  • In the sixth form playing poker in the common room for pennies, the teacher wasn't too impressed and told us to stop.
  • Finding security flaws in the terrible IT system, using a remote desktop bit of software (NetSupport IIRC) to take control of other computers - I got banned from the computers for a week when I pointed out the flaw in the system.
  • I pointed out numerous security flaws in the system, each time getting told off about it until I just stopped telling our IT admin at the time, they didn't seem to understand that I was trying to help them rather than exploiting it.
  • When it rained heavily a load of us with cars sliding our cars around on the school field like it was a rally course!
  • Going to one of the local pubs at lunchtime, skipping the last two lessons, and using the library to sober up and then driving home - terrible now and something I wouldn't dream of doing.
  • On my last day at the school I told the email teacher (above) that I thought he was a **** before driving off.
Along with a load of other really minor stuff. Thankfully the teachers in my secondary/sixth form seemed to have a bit of a sense of humour and whilst they knew it was wrong and had to tell me off over it, but it was obvious they were amused. Some of the teaching was terrible though, unless you shared the opinion of the teacher on something it would be considered as wrong, great when asked to write a 500 word essay on your interpretation of something!

Changed permissions on the network drive shares so that nobody had access.

Had a Welsh lesson in a computer room snd I was just playing around and noticed for some reason normal student logins could change permissions on directories, so I logged in as someone else, tested it by adding a friend's username and denying everything. Asked him to try and it worked, he couldn't access a shared drive which had the location of the work we were supposed to be doing. Amazing I thought.

So my mischevious nature took hold and i changed the default group's there which was basically 'all users' and 'administrators', if I remember correctly, to deny for everything, clicked ok and then tried to access the drive and couldn't. Went into properties to see if I could change the permissions back and couldn't access it either. Oh well gone that far so decided to do the other network drive.

A few minutes later cries of ''miss miss I can't see my work" started to be said. I just sat there looking at my friend trying to keep a straight face.

Nobody could access anything for a few weeks not even the IT admin and I believe he had to get in some external people to sort it out. :D :D


Never got caught or found out.

I was a bit of a swot so didn't do many outrageous things. My only claim to fame was to punch my headmaster when he tickled me from behind. I thought it was my mate and spun around fists blazing.

In hindsight it's was very suspicious that he was tickling pupils.

When we got into secondary school we noticed lots of 1 and 2p pieces scattered over the lower roofs, presumably thrown out of the upper floor windows by bored pupils.

So on the weekend we rode our bmx's into the grounds, used them as a leg up and gathered all the mouldy coppers which we spent on a massive mix up each at the corner shop and felt sick.

We did that thing where someone beathes in and out a lot then they hold their breath or something and go unconcious, one guy did it, smashed his head on a radiator then he hit the floor with his arm still touching the radiator, eventually came round with burns.

Also we made those paper dart things with a pin in the and and used to throw them at stuff/people.

Also we hacked a teachers email.
