My favorite was prank calls, we had so much fun doing those, it made the Jerky Boys look like amateurs.

Elevator races

 Quoting: Rev Woo-Woo


Back in the early 80`s Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson co—owned a Holiday Inn near my house, I was a huge Waylon fan and was determined to meet him. So, when they came to Dallas for a show, I got a group of friends together and late at night after I thought they would be at the motel, we got on an elevator took it to the top and I hit the red emergency button, alarms went off like crazy and when it went back down to ground floor, security, the manager, Waylon and Willie.were there when the door opened. They were stoned out of their mindz just as we were and Waylon and Willie couldn`t stop laughing and Waylon said, "Boys will be boys" and hugged me. I was a 14 year old boy and got a hug from my hero.

We used to go to the high rises in downtown San Diego - hold the doors so they are closed enough to move but not all the way - stop the elevator between floors - open inner doors and then the outer ones - climb out and then hop on top - there are override and speed controls on top - then we'd hop across and each grab our own elevator and have races.

Me too, build little forts and do the battles. Also with roman candles.
Blowing up fire ant hills.
BB gun jousting on mini-bikes. Cardboard for the front shield. Almost got my eye shot out doing that.
Town I grew up in had NO cops, at 15 I bought my first car and could drive anywhere in town I wanted. Every corner was sideways. Nearest cop was the Sheriff 7 miles away. We even had a FM road, where we marked off 1/4 mile for drag races on the weekends. No one bothered us. Skipping high school to hang out at the lake, parents didn't find out how many days you missed until report card time.

My buddy had "dickhead drunk all the time" neighbors across the street

No caller ID

We would call every pizza place and order pizza to their house..

Out of 10 places we called , 5-6 pizza guys who did not check up would be delivering the pizza

Also we had 4 cab companies locally and they ALL showed up..

It was funny as fuck seeing that drunk retard fight with the pizza and cab guys saying he didn't call them

You know, I'm starting to see where Generation Snowflake comes from. They were shielded from all danger.
I'm not being funny. In Siberia, they used to leave newborn babies outside in the snow for a while; any infant unable to survive, wouldn't be able to thrive in the climate there.
I'm not advocating that we throw 3 year olds into bear pits; but on reflection, dicing with death makes you stronger, and never having experienced hunger, cold, pain, or even a spanking, weakens you.

Re: Things we used to do for free entertainment that cannot be done now.
Anyone remember beeper sex (or pager sex)? It was basically a number-to-word conversion which was sent back and forth via pagers. when you beeped/paged someone you would put in your phone number or an emergency code (i.e, 911) to alert the person you're sending it to. Since it was only numerical, we had to improvise and it was fun as fuck. In the late 90s, pagers became such the rage that everyone had them, and in different bright colors too to suit your personality lol. Those numerical convos (i.e, 07734 or 58008, which when pager is turned upside down would spell "hello" or "boobs") became so addicting that it was basically the earliest version of text messaging as we know it. Certain people used their own codes and this and that. Using it as a sexting device was awesome too, and later one when pagers had different vibrating options, girls didn't hesitate to use that as a handy application for when her guy beeped the fuck out of her... Nowadays we use actual words written using actual letters. How boring :(

A friend and I would skip school and drive a hour away to the nearest college campus. We would drive around and pretend we were college students. Then, a trip to the mall for shopping. We would return before school was out. She would go home, and I would pick my Mom up from work in the car she let me borrow to drive to school.

Also, younger we would go out and hike and play in the woods. We would bike ride around town until dark. It was fun. There was not a structured schedule, only the setting of the sun.
