@callum: lol what happened later on? what kind of trouble did you get into?

Amazingly I managed to play it off as an accident... 'I didn't know the gas tap was on. I just lit a match.' I still got a sturn talking to. It introduced stricter rules for all the science teachers though, that the gas wasn't allowed to be left on if they weren't in the room.

When I was 9 years, my brother bet that I couldn't sprint across the bike rails. I tried to, tripped over and broke my nose :(

I have done this multiple times throughout high school, normally at the moment when it costs me the most, I still have nightmares about it......

2+2=6

Three years in a row I did that on a maths exam, the first time it was on the last line after a whole page (and I mean a whole page filled) of maths and it was the only thing that I made a mistake on. Everytime it happens now I try to forget it, but it still comes back to haunt me.

Probably not the most idiotic thing I've done but I KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN!  >:(

HAHA! I guess everyone has those stupid math mistakes that you never get over.. for me:
Hey, at least your teacher didn't decide it would be a good idea to show the class...

In year 11 Physics I was doing a question and at the end I had to do something like 60 + 40 = 100

I then realised that the 40 wasn't supposed to be there (miscalculated previously) and changed it to 90 (or w/e it was)

Unlucky for me I didn't change the answer so I had 60 + 90 = 100

As my teacher was marking my test at the front of the class he burst out in laughter,  looked at me and held up the paper and said something like "are you serious!?".

He then proceeded to tell all the other students in the class to come look at the paper and they gathered round to check it out.

Totally not cool... lucky for me I'm a pretty easy-going guy and got along well with everyone in the class, but still... what kind of a teacher does that?  :-\

i got bored of studying and started melting my erasers against the really hot study lamp i had. it clouded all up. but then i started scratching it out with a pencil. eyes hurt. stupidest yet to come: decided to see what would happen if i stuck a piece of paper to it. turns out fires start pretty fast. freaked out, blew it out, and my room smelt like smoke for the next few days :( had blackened remains of a piece of paper on my desk. parents asked what on earth just happened, i shrugged. they probs thought i was smoking or something... lol :S

In Year 7 science while the teacher was out of the room. I thought it would be a good idea to turn the gas tap on and put a match in front of it.... BOOM instant flame thrower  :o I'm not going to lie it did look pretty cool. Wasn't the most idiotic thing I've ever done, still pretty bad though.


Me and my friends used to burn random objects in the bunsen burner flame during science pracs. Good times...

Ahaha I still remembered when me and a couple of friends set an entire box of unused matches on fire. Was pretty cool tbh when all the matches ignited at once. Got into abit of trouble with the teacher and after that incident, our school imposed a new rule that we were only given one match at a time, not the whole box... such a party pooper =(

The most idiotic things I've done are best not posted on the internet.

When my brother was in year 7 or 8 (back in the 90s) he and his friend wanted to see how many emails they could send to each other before the school network crashed. You see, back in those technological dark ages, you could crash an entire network by sending lots of emals. Long story short, they got in big trouble.

I remember in year 7, when we were in an IT class getting a tutorial on how to use the school e-mail system, we all had to send a blank e-mail to the teacher, who had his laptop connected to the projector. We could see his inbox as all the blank e-mails flooded in. Then everyone saw an e-mail from one of the boys, Jason, who chose to title his e-mail "Katie loves penis". The girl in question, Katie, was NOT amused and Jason got suspended.
