Hello again, I have decided to try and make these posts on fridays, to celebrate the end of the week!

Here are some more stories from the amazing thread "Dumma saker ni gjort" on the Swedish forum Flashback!

Just a clarification, you may have noticed that I include the post ID of the stories, that is just for me to keep track of what post in the thread I am currently using, I may not be using all of the post in my compilation, this is both to make it easier to read, but also to make it quicker to make these posts as I make them on my phone.

Finally, I claim no copyright of anything in these posts.

Here we go!

> Jag och en kompis skulle åka min lådbil som jag hade byggt. Vi hittade en bra och fin backe och jag lägger i min kompis som testförare. Jag börjar putta på innan backen börjar och får upp en skitbra fart. Min kompis blir dock rädd och säger åt mig och stanna bilen. Dum som jag är tänkte jag att den stannar utav sig själv om man släpper den. Detta var som sagt aldeles innan en nerförsbacke och bilen stannar inte. Utan kör fort som fan ner för backen och ''hoppar'' över trotarkanten och landar på en gräsplätt. Min kompis fick en lätt hjärnskakning som tack för sitt testkörande...

Me and a friend was heqding out to ride my soapbox cart that I had built.

We found a nice hill to go down, and I put my friend in the soapbox cart as a test driver. 

I give the cart a little push, and soon it picks up speed, my friend calls out to me to stop, but me being stupid though "it will stop on it's own if you let go".

Well, it didn't stop, instead it hits the main part of the hill. At the end of the hill the cart hit the curb of the sidewalk, and jumps onto a patch of grass.

My friend got a concussion as thanks for being a test driver...

> 11 år. Ute med polare i skogen bakom där jag bodde, på kvällen samma dag som vårstädningen varit i området. Det fanns många stora papperssäckar med sly och annat som var rensat. Vi samlade ihop ett antal säckar och tuttade på. Brann som fan, minre skogsbrand tilltog. Brandkåren kom. Alla barnen samlades och tittade på. Brandmästaren hade lång föreläsning för alla barn om faran med eld. Detta var ett bra varningsexempel, antagligen gjort av en professionell pyroman med onda avsikter tyckte han.. Fan heller, men det var coolt som fan att elda

Eleven years old, out in the woods with my friends behind my house, it was in the evening after the community spring cleaning, and we found large paper sacks with dead and unwanted branches, plants and other garden trash that had been cleaned up earlier.

We collected a number of sacks and lit them on fire.

It burned like crazy, and soon we had a minor forrest fire om our hands.

The fire department came and dealt with it, and later had a long lecture for us kids about the dangers of fire, this was good warning, probably done by a professional pryomanic with bad intent was what the lecturer thought.

Hell no, but it was cool as hell to burn stuff

> Tre år.  Min bror fyller år. Han och Hans/min kusin ligger i samma rum, jag och mor kommer in i rummet för att gratulera honom. Bror och kusin är yrvakna, jag tar upp en toffla och drämmer den i huvudet på kusin. Kusin får ett brutalt uppvaknande, och en stadig bula.

Three years old, my brother's birthday, he and one of our cousins are sharing a room, me and my mum were entering the  room to wake up and congratulate my brother, however they just woke up before so they are a bit dazed, so I pick up a slipper and whack my cousin in his head with it.

My cousin got a rude wakeup and bump on his head.

> 7-8 år: Stor militärövning i vårt lilla samhälle. 300-400 grönklädda sitter på marken och äter, då tar jag och 2 polare vårt samlade förråd av påsksmällare och brassar på i en gammal plåttunna 20 meter därifrån. Alla grönkläder far upp som skitna ur en kanin, fram med vapen och jagar oss genom skogen. H-vete vad vi sprang, hade nog svårt att sova den natten.

7-8 years old, there is a large military exercise in our little town. Me and my two friends se 3-400 military guys in green clothes sitting on the ground eating a meal.

Me and my friends take our collection of firecrackers since easter, and set them off in an old metal drum 20 meters from the military guys, who all jumped up, grabbed their guns, and started chasing us through a local forrest.

We ran fast as hell, and when we got back home in time for bed we had a really hard time trying to sleep...

Kastade snöboll på en gammal gubbes hus, jättekul tyckte vi. Ända tills han kom ut och kastade tillbaks. Inte fan visste vi att han var en gammal handbolls spelare! Har aldrig fått så ont av snöbollar förut.

Me and a some friends decided to throw snowballs at an old man's house, we thought it was hillarious, untill the old man came out and threw snowballs back at us!

We had no idea that he was an old handball player, I have never had snowballs hurt that much before.

Sen på hemkunskapen i 9:an så fjutta en kompis eld på bordsduken, vår lärare får panik och bara vrålar som en besatt medans en annan kompis resolut slår handflatan i duken tills det slocknar.

During one lesson in home economics in year 9 (about 15 years old) a friend set the tablecloth on fire, our teacher panics and just starts shouting while another friend puts out the fire by repeatedly smacking the tablecloth with the palm of his hand.

Hello, this is the start of what will hopefully be a series, of translated stories from the greatest Swedish forum thread I have ever read, it requires a bit of an introduction though.

First things first, dear mods, if you feel like this breaks the rules, let me know and I'll end the series. That being said, I plan on only making one post/week to not spam the community.

Ok, so what is this series?

Flashback is a huge Swedish forum which has existed on the internet for decades, they brand themselves as providing "real freedom of speach", you can discuss anything there, and people do.

These days Flashback is home to a lot of racism and sexism as people can post without a filter, I will not be reposting that here.

The thread I will be posting from is called "Dumma saker ni gjort", and is a thread that was active for years in the early 2000s, it contains posts about the idiotic things kids did when they were young.

Now as this is a Swedish forum the entire thread is in Swedish I will translate the posts into English, but since a lot of posts contains terrible spelling which is very hard to translate completely you will get a sanatized version.

I hope this series will be a funny and interesting look at growing up in Sweden in the 1990-2000s.

I have however no way to verify the truth of the stories, so please take them at face value snd just enjoy the stories.

Ok with all of that out of the way, here are a few funny stories to get started:

14år. Jag å morsan ska åka ut och handla, jag går ut före med bilnycklarna. Brevid bilen är det en gatubrunn, jag får för mig att testa utifall nyckelknippan eventuellt skulle kunna komma ner mellan springorna. Efter mycket joxande får jag ner dem mellan springorna. Men tänker jag, det måste vara omöjligt att tappa ner dem från en meters höjd. Men det gick, plumps sa det när nycklarna föll i vattnet nere i brunnen, precis då kommer morsan ut gissa om hon blev glad. Vi fick ringa till gatukontoret som fick skicka ut en gubbe med nån jävla skoppa. Jag fick gräva i den äckliga sörjan efter nycklarna. Två timmar senare kunde vi åka iväg 1200:- spänn fattigare och en visdom rikare.

14 years old. My mum and I was heading out to shop groceries, I walk out to the car ahead of my mum and had the car keys. Next to the car there was a drainage grate, I get the urge to to see if I could fit the car keys through the grate, and after a bit of work I manage it, but I then decided that it must be impossible to drop the keys from a meter up and have them fall through the grate.

I was proven wrong with a splash just as mum came out to the car, she was not pleased at the situation. We had to call the municipal road administration who sent out an old guy with a digger, I had to dig through the muck with my bare hands to find the car keys.

Two hours late and 1200 SEK poorer we were finally on our way.

mellanstadiet : Vi hade en hiss i skolan (som vi naturligtvis aldrig fick åka i). Det var endast två våningar. Så fick jag den storslagna idén att kila fast knapparna med knappnålar så de var intryckta hela tiden, alltså både 1:an och tvåan, vilket resulterade i att hissen gick upp och ner hela tiden och aldrig stannade.

10-12 years old: We had a lift at school that we students were never allowed to use, our school was only two stories tall. I got the brilliant idea to pin down both floor buttons inside the elevator using sewing needles so both buttons were allways pushed down, this resulted in the elevator continously moving between the floors, never stopping.

När jag var i tolvårs åldern så var jag väldigt fascinerad av färgerna som uppkommer om man lägger en stark magnet mot bildröret på en TV. Skulle ju givetvis testa detta på farsans splitternya dumburk, kan säga att det inte tog speciellt lång tid innan bilden blev helt förvrängd och tv:n var kass. Givetvis hade jag inte en "aaaning" om vad som hade hänt när farsan kommer instormande på mitt rum och undrar vad i helvete jag har gjort med han nya älskling..

When I was about 12 I got very facinated by the colours that appear on the screen of a CRT TV if you place a strong magnet near the picture tube. This naturally had to be tested on dad's new TV, I can tell you that it didn't take long for the picture to be totally messed up. I obviously had no idea about anything when dad stormed into my room asking about what the hell had happened to his new darling....


Right this is enough for now, I hope you enjoy it!
