FT5: Things that seemed like a good idea at the time

[0rz0ski]

In 7th grade, a group of friends and myself had walked to the video store to rent a movie. The store was closed when we got back, and the girl whose house it was parents had left. So, we were trying to figure out a way to get into the house when the girl remembered that the window that faced the pool never had the screen locked. So, we hop the fence and try to open the window. Well, the screen wasn't locked, but the window itself was. However, the window could open just a little bit, not quite enough to stick our skinny arm bones through it to reach the window latch, but enough to stick the end of a jump rope cable through it.

So, after a few minutes of me trying to rig up a slipknot and loop it around the latch, we just decided to use the jump rope end as a lever to pry apart the window until we could stick our arms in and unlatch it. We pushed the end down through the side of the pane, until finally, the window shattered. Oh shit.

So, after getting in the house, we calmed her down. After that, we went back outside and stood around until her parents came home. Yes, we had a window open, but we just decided to stand outside and wait.

Her parents were pissed, and I'm going to guess that they never told my parents, because I never got yelled at for it.
