What is the dumbest thing you did, or witness somebody do, when you were a teenager?

When I was 15 or 16 I went out with a few friends from my football team on mischief night. We all had eggs and toilet paper in our backpacks nothing crazy. But for some reason I decided to go for big air and stole can of red spray paint from my dads garage. After a few TP'd houses later around 11:30pm we all kinda split up and I ended up by myself, I decided it was time to bust out the spray paint. I was on a back street and I came across a big house with a white vinyl fence that went all the way around the back. I went up to it can in hand and sprayed in big letters "PENIS" I thought I was alone but there were too adults just watching me the whole time a few feet away. I didn't know what to do so I put the can away and walked past them. I still think it's kinda odd they didn't stop me they just commented that what I did was fucked up and they amazed that I was just walking instead of booking it. I was relieved that I had gotten away with it and no body would ever know who did it. Unfortunately later that night one of my friends was walking past that house and the police arrested him thinking that he sprayed the fence. The people who lived there were gonna press charges against him so I had no choice but to tell my parents. My mom started freaking out and I could have sworn my dad was going to fucking murder me. He's a city cop and a big dude, I never wanted to piss him off. I showed them what I had done and judging by their reactions my life was over. Couldn't leave the house for a month which sucked then had a to be home every night before 9 which sucked too. They went to talk to the people who lived there and thankfully (depending how you look at it) my mother knew them. They said they wouldn't press charges if I came back to remove what I wrote and painted over it. My dad and I spent the weekend scrubbing the fence clean then eventually painted it white again.

I can honestly say after 4 years of college and being in a fraternity I have never done anything more dumb than that.
