(#1) I said something which sounded really awful and I knew as soon as I'd said it that the friend in question was standing right behind me and had heard every word ... He was understandably upset and my attempts to explain what I meant made things worse. 
(We used to hang about together all the time. Most of the time it was fun but we eventually got into a bit of a rut so I jumped at the chance when another friend offered me the one remaining seat in his car to go somewhere different. Unfortunately, I accepted the offer by saying "Oh yes please - that beats yet another boring night in with [MY BEST MATE]" ...)
(#2) My younger sister was injured by a stray dart at a neighbour's house. For some inexplicable 8-year old's stupid reason, after rushing 50 yards home to tell our mother, "... is crying because a dart stuck in her arm" came out as "... got a dart stuck in her head and it killed her"!
My mum completely lost it. I was aghast at what I had done and said that it was ok, it was only a joke. My aunt was there at the time, leapt across the room, and slapped my face so hard that I was almost knocked off my feet!

Shooting umpteen birds with an air rifle when I was a kid.
I remember the point I grew up, looked at this hapless sparrow, mortally wounded and thought....sh1t....what am I doing ?
Never intentionally killed another single thing. Even made my colleague guffaw when I explained I was on the bike once and a beetle appeared in front of my wheel...ooer I said as I wobbled to avoid it

Got fed up of my dad telling me to be careful when holding or picking up my oldest daughter when she was a tiny baby. Went down one day and my ex-wife hid round the corner with the baby in the pram. I had a doll wrapped up in a blanket with a bonnet on, cuddled in my arm.
When I walked in, my dad appeared with a cup of tea in his hand and I lobbed the "baby" down the hall at him shouting "catch." He dropped his cup, and missed what he thought was his tiny granddaughter. I thought it was hilarious. He ended up been given a sedative by the doctor my ma called out. Not my finest moment.

I had an identical experience with my air rifle when I was about nine. I killed a tit, shooting from my bedroom window. I rushed down to the end of the garden and picked it up. It was absolutely beautiful, and warm in my hand. I felt overwhelmingly guilty, and still do.Shooting umpteen birds with an air rifle when I was a kid.

Once gave a bar of exlax chocolate, in a different wrapper, to an older kid that had an habit of appearing as the sweets appeared. Being part open made it seem as though we'd been eating it before he appeared.
Never took another sweet, but he's carried over the same habit to when it comes to buying a round.

Dad, that dent in the boot of your Rover 2.8 wasn't caused by a big boy who ran away, but I think you know that. If it's any consolation, it farking hurt.
MEA/A Higgins, I sincerely regret urinating in your iron in 1983. I also regret almost rupturing myself in silent laughter at your face as you tried to use it.
My mate Brian, I regret forgetting to tell you I'd puked in the hood of your parka on that marvelous student piss-up in Edinburgh. Still, it was still warm when you discovered it and it was a cold night.

No regrets as such but had my fair share of mischief/stupidity as a kid and early adulthood. Not had too many brushes with the law but that may be luck more than judgement.

Another one springs to mind.
I'd have been about 12 year sold, and in a physics lesson. The teacher had built a brilliant machine, a delicate wooden box with a clear polycarbonate front to demonstrate pulleys. While the teachers back was turned I loosened the G clamp that was holding the entire contraption to the desk. Teacher returns, pulls the string to operate it, and the whole lot falls to the floor and smashes.
Mr Underwood, I'm very sorry!
About the same age we were having an Environmental studies lesson. We were on the school field staring into a ditch while the teacher waffled on about some newt or other when the Devil took control of me and I pushed the teacher into the ditch. The schoolyard rule of omerta kicked in and no one would fess up, so the whole class got detention.
So, I'm really sorry Mr Tilley, and the to whole of Class 2L.

First day of school at the Infants. I'd been warned at that early age to watch out for the school bully who would pick on the naive new starters.
There he was standing tall, looking hard beside the water fountain on the wall, waiting for us newcomers. I wasn't having any of it.
I charged at him grabbed his head and banged it hard on the water fountain bowl, he never did pick on me.
Another I must have only been 8 or 9, we had been told at school not to speak to strangers.
One afternoon after school I was playing in the street and my younger sister was standing at the corner.
.
A man appeared complete with long mac and started to talk to my sister, I ran at him and sent him flying over the hedge.
I can still picture his legs sticking up in the air when he went over.
I was in real trouble, he was only an insurance man looking for an address.

When I was 12 I managed to set myself on fire. I spent 3 months in hospital. I'd like to press Undo on that day.
