The worst? I suppose that would be junior high when a friend and I were waiting after school for his mom to pick us up. We had stayed after school for math club (yes, really) and so it was late in the afternoon and we were the only two people left. Even most of the teachers had gone home by that time.
So, we're waiting for our ride, goofing off, and he closes the entrance while he's inside, leaving me locked outside. Or maybe he was holding it shut, I don't remember, but I think yes, he was holding it shut. Anyway, I get the brilliant idea that I can take advantage of his reflexes and pretend to jump kick toward him and cause him to back away from the door, thus giving me the ability to get back inside. Well you can imagine, my well thought out plan did not go as intended, and instead of pretending to drop kick the glass door in front of his face, I did drop kick the glass door in front of his face!
He was fine, though he had lots of glass shards all over him because it was one of those glass doors with the wiring in the glass. And, of course, the door was destroyed. We panicked for a second and, in retrospect, we probably could have gotten away with going to the other end of the school and pretending we had nothing to do with it. We were good little boys though, and went to find one of the remaining teachers and confess our (my, really) transgression. My family ended up paying 2/3 of the cost while his family paid the other 1/3.
