Random and wanton acts of vandalism

Well, it's a boring Wednesday and there was no Halloween party to go to, so FatNick, myself, the divine LC and AL the God of Rock all jumped into the LC-Mobile and went on a drive-by egging spree. We were very satisfied to score TWO direct hits on our mutual acquiantance RF's car, which is a shitty old pink VW Beetle, not to mention bus shelters, postboxes etc. So, what are your favourite acts of random and wanton vandalism that you yourself have perpetrated, eh?

ans to q = nothing evah = i r wuss

Random as in no specific targets or premeditation.

I cut my own hair, it felt like vandalism, because my haircut costed $130. I am steering clear of my hairdresser for a while.

Last year some boys in my building threw a computer out of the top storey window, and then some pumpkins. It made me cross.

No dairy product answer but I did have great fun with my supersoaker getting drunk people walking past my house, then we all piled into the Datsun Sunny and took it to the streets. The most rewarding spritz would have to have been the man who was taking a leak behind a car. Yeah, I shot him in the face while he smiled and drunkenly babbled at us. Unfortunately we missed the highschool people making out in mummy's car. Vandalism wise? I can't think of anything scandalous - I haven't lived. My friend Anton is going to teach me the most efficacious way of blowing up letter boxes though

I was involved in the throwing of a hoover from a window. Because it was at university though it was dud and crap. I was brought up to take a hard line on vandalism cause I lived in one of those suburbs where it's seen as pretty much on a par with murder.

Fat Nick's postings here?

I think you ought to be ashamed of yourself DG.

Personally, I have never commited such an act. I chase after litter that I've accidently dropped. I hate the whole idea of vandalism. I'm sorry, to be so serious.

― james, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I still think DG is cool, and a good guy. Don't get me wrong anybody.

It's just this sort of thing is a personal bugbear to me, and as such I can never condone it.

― james, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Awwww! But it's fun!

― DG, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm with James... egging a friend's car is fine, but not public spaces, like bus shelters. admittedly it's only temporary damage, but still not nice for people waiting as the bus stop the next day. maybe i've become old and boring

― m jemmeson, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Doing it to a mate's car isn't nice either because the mate will be left wondering if:
A)he is a victim of a random act of vandalism
or
B)he is a victim of a non-random attack - and then he'll be left freaking out about having a secret enemy and wondering what terrible thing he has done or is purported to have done, thus creating said enemy.

Vandalising derelict buildings is fun. I think destruction is healthy and as necessary as creation. Weeding really overgrown gardens (as in head height, scary, wild plants) can satisfy this destructive urge.

I stole a train seat once, then placed it in a basketball hoop. ha. I am so funny.

― alix, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What pisses me off WORSE than vandalism at bus stops is flyposting by orgs who consider themselves radical. No sooner has Hackney — a famously bankrupt council — put up nice new bus shelters, which at least minimally lift the depressive overall environmental sense of shabbiness and neglect, than they are festooned by badly designed horrible little leaflets, which someone else scribbles on, and then someone yet again half tears off.

Probably when I was 20 I would have applauded; now I am nearly old it maddens me.

― mark s, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh, you'd have to let yr friend know somehow who threw the eggs or it wouldn't be funny

― m jemmeson, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't believe you people are such squares, man.

― DG, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

As I R veteran of 3-month campaign to antagonise the town of chadwell heath, I R offically declaring U R all boring old bastards. I R thinking mobile egging:
a) gives greater force to egg, hence causing greater colateral splash damage;
b) R good for making quick getaway;
c) R keeping strength up allowing longer distances to be traveled for GREATER EGGING DIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That R being Y mobile egging RoX0r!!! LOL!!!! ROTFL!!!!! LMAO!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!

― I R veteran, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i *really* do not like any form of vandalism including litter dropping. in factm i hate litter dropping the most i think. the place looks like enough of a shitheap as it is, why make it worse? the vegan side of me says, you could at least have used egg-substitute. think of all those chickens that laid in vain!

― katie, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am very anti-egging because on two whole occasions, my own body has been the target for entirely unprovoked drive-by eggings (though on both occasions the dicks missed - ha! they threw like gurls!)

― jamesmichaelward, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like the whole idea of mindless destruction of property but I can never bring myself to commit any.

― Maria, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thort eggs take paint right off of a car? Or was that a suburban legend?

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was directly involved in the setting on fire of a recycling shed at a certain massachusetts college. And, while not the perpetrator, I was directly responsible for the destruction of two pieces of "art" on the same night as I told the perpetrators that I'd respect them better if they destroyed that which we felt was awful and evil. I also paid same people to steal flags all over a Massachusetts town. No points in guessing who the partners in crime were, but being as the first is an actual serious crime it'd be best not to say who they are in the off chance that someone is trying to figure it out somewhere - I'll take the fall!

― Ally, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The perpetrators of said crime wanted me to relay to you the message that they were never paid for their work, or at least not for the more serious offense. Though one of them has the item in question hanging on his wall, so of course that could be looked at as payment enough. As vandalism goes, I've been involved in certain events, and alcohol has been known to influence me into spraypainting various slurs on dumpsters and the main lighted sign of a certain Massachusetts college, but discretion requires that I not go into any greater specifics.

― Otis Wheeler, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahem. Said perpetrator didn't give me his share of the bill last time we were at a certain bar tended by a certain Justin on a certain avenue named Columbus in a certain city that might or might not be New York, despite having two drinks plus quite a bit of the calamari and his share of the spreads. Therefore, said perpetrator chose his payment in terms that didn't involve actual $20 bills.

I plan on committing more heinous acts of criminal activity against Hampshire College this coming weekend, because I am committed to bringing that joint down.

I used to throw cake at people from the top of the highest carpark in Hobart. I wouldn't do that now because I'd hate it if someone threw cake at me. I didn't think like that when I was 13.

As kids we were always very fond of toilet paper on roads too. On NYE we would sneak out and put toilet paper across the highway sort of like a tennis net using the guide posts at the side as anchors, if you know what I mean. We also used to hold a roll of toilet paper on a stick out the car window and let the end fly out behind us, unravelling as it went. It looked pretty, very Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

― toraneko, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If someone threw cake at me I would feel surprised and glad, especially if the cake was one of those cakes of yesteryear with the marbled effects and forked squiggled icing motif.

Someone threw a water bomb at me this year, but they missed ha ha.

― rainy, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

stealing cases of beer and firing at them with bb guns and a 0.22. after running out of ammo we just shook them up and threw them against the sides of a houses. then we proceeded with throwing rocks to break the lights on every single lamp post in the neighborhood. why did we waste the beer and not drink it? cos we were young and were scared that our parents would catch us drinking. also it goes to show you don't need alcohol to have a good time.

― ernest, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That's exactly the sort of cake it was Rainy! How did you know?

― toraneko, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ithink eggign is juvenile but the people who paint railway cars fuckign amazing

― anthony, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have smashed windows on a house as it was being constructed. Caught fire to someone's lawn by sticking one too many fireworks in their mailbox. And thrown various sticks and dirt at passing cars. A couple times being chased by the owners.

My favorite bit of houliganism took place on the bridge over the highway where my elementary school was. Every morning on the bus, the kids would pull all the fruit out of their lunches and throw them over, creating a lovely shower of apples and oranges and grapes onto the rush hour morning traffic below.

I don't like vandalism that's fire, destroying someone else's stuff or graffiti, unless it's Graf Art or me writing snide comments on fly- posters. Egging is eeeeek! but at least is BIODEGRADABLE.

As is my favourite vandalism form, TPing. Find a large tree on property owned by your adversary. Have at hand several rolls of toilet paper (confetti selection of colours works best). Your mission is to festoon the branches with garlands of bumwipe. Throw the roll up, holding the end. The paper will catch on branches as the roll arcs back down. Repeat until ALL the toilet paper is in the tree.

I used to do shaving foam vandalism on Halloween...

― suzy, Friday, 2 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Anthony, egging IS juvenile, that's why it's such fun, hee hee.

― DG, Friday, 2 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

toraneko, the cakes of yesteryear are the ONLY cakes really. Mmmm, squiggle fork motif...

― rainy, Friday, 2 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I knew there had to be a thread called this, I feel so dum now. I already made a mess of my self here.> but the news story is here. Kids burnt down a beautiful 250 year old church, 2nd oldest Anglican church in Canada because they were bored.

Earlier this summer two kids in Stewiacke caused a train crash cause they were bored and they wanted to see what would happen if they crashed a train. The passangers all survived but little mention was made of the conductors of the train. I ride that train four or five times a year. Sorry right now its a super DUD for me.

six years pass...

Everytime I walk down our corridor towards the reception, with my cup in hand, I get this huge urge to throw it as hard as I can against the glass doors.

― Ste, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 15:30 (seventeen years ago)

You'll probably find that the glass is shatterproof, you'll get fired and escorted from the building by security and/or police, and worst of all you'll have broken your cup...

― snoball, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 15:36 (seventeen years ago)

I can't abide a person who throws away a perfectly good cake, vandalism or no. On the other hand, I am a fan of carefully orchestrated 'political vandalism' so long as no cake is harmed in the process of course.

― VeronaInTheClub, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 15:44 (seventeen years ago)

xpost - what if it's a paper cup?

― Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 16:16 (seventeen years ago)

eight years pass...

The fuck did this get a pass given the shite attacks on the yelling from cars thread

― poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Monday, 19 September 2016 23:54 (nine years ago)
