I don't think I've done anything exciting like that. At camp this summer, something happened that could go in this thread, except someone else did it, but I'll post it here anyway.
So it was the morning of the last trip day of first session. We were going to Hershey Park, which was about a four-hour ride. There happened to be a massive heat wave that week (and amusement parks are always hot anyway.) The water at camp isn't even close to cold, at least not to my standards (all my water comes from the fridge), but it's all we got, so it was "strongly advised" to fill up our water bottles, at least for the ride (cause there would obviously be places to buy more.)
And I went into the bathroom to fill up my water bottle from the sink. Nothing came out. There was no water in the sinks, or the showers, the toilets wouldn't flush, etc., etc. It turned out that someone in the bunk next door had flushed the toilet and for some reason, it exploded, and now the whole pipe was burst.
O_o
That's always a story to tell. I bet it's even more so for whoever did it.

I have no common sense whatsoever. It does often lead to disaster. I think the worst was when I set my parents bedroom carpet on fire because I wanted to see what would happen if I held the hairdryer nozzle down on the carpet.

I guess my brother was a pyro too when he was younger. He used to whorde lighters and play with them all the time. And once, we were in moms room. There was the two of us and two friends. Alex and his friend decided to get some aerosol and a lighter and...yeah. And in the same half an hour, my friend thought it would be a clever idea to set a bit of her hair alight and the flame got a bit out of control and ended up shooting up that part of her hair!
Things that I've done? I tend to block the toilet a lot because I always use too much toilet paper. Just a habit of mine. Once, the water reached the brim of the toilet...and then stopped. I've never been so relieved in my life. When I was about 5 and my brother was about 3, we actually did make the toilet overflow by sticking a hair brush, some cosmetics and some crayons in there and then flushing.
I broke the tumble dryer by sticking my wooden and plastic toys in there and switching it on. I also broke my toys. And Alex broke the video player by sticking some food in there.

Well, nothing because I am so perfect! 
Just kidding. But I don't really remember a lot of the things I do. At school I constantly put the iron face down on the board and walk away, and someone has to remind me to stop it from catching on fire. I was making hot chocolate and had just finished microwaving my water, I tried taking it out with my bare hands, and it was hot. I shout "Hot!" and run and stop the burn, it was really hot, almost boiling.
At a park with a big snow hill, people will get in a big chain and start going down the hill, so what I do is sometimes I will push a couple of them down the hill early and it is so funny. Or I will go down after them and crash into them.
Sometimes, I will break random things. I break lots of sewing machine needles at school and sometimes leave and let someone else fix it. Other times I'll mess something up and run away before someone catches me.

Well... We no longer have any plaster in the Bathroom (Preventing my usual shower) but I was told to do that so I'd say it doesn't count 
Oh, About a month after the new kitchen was fitted I caused a fireball making fried toast.
Inflammable means it'll explode, by the way. ¬_¬
And get this, but three days later my brother disconnects the water pipe and floods it.
I caused a catastrophic system failure on my schools computer network, the tech was still new at the time (to them anyway) but still, I'm not sure how I did it.

I do that, but I do it when making ramen. My left hand no longer feels heat, I believe. I once (because I was being stupid) poured a cup full of boiling water STRAIGHT onto my hand. I'm still not sure how. Hot water is mean. Very mean.

Well. I don't really do stuff like that. But my brother does.
He bit his kindergarten teacher. She held him back a year.
And he was home alone as an eight year old or something one time. And he decided to set a paper airplane on fire. He tried to blame the burn mark that is still on the carpet to this day on dropping a bowl of really hot popcorn.
And then he beat up the neighbor kid. I don't remember why. The other kid was a bit of a dork though. Even though he was nice to me.
Then there was that one time when I was at the hospital being born, and he told my older sister (who was four at the time) that since I was coming home, she'd have to live in the closet. And she believed it. My parents found her in there with a sleeping bag, fast asleep, when they got home.

That's hilariously adorable.
I toppled my bookshelf once when I leaned on the door of the little compartment at the bottom. Books and random paper avalanched onto me. My room has never been tidy ever since.

LOL, my brother bit our grade school principal when he was in first grade, and she was a nun. He was held back as well, but not just cause of that. At least I don't think

Oh my.. where to start.. hahaha..
My sister used to be a little pyro. So one day she decided to put hair-spray on the counter, and then light it on fire, to see what would happen. Good thing it just kinda exploded in fire, and didn't cause any damage.
In my biology class we had to care for animals or insects, or something and record everything which happened. I chose lady bugs; they ended up reproducing, I've never actually studied Lady Bugs, so I wasn't familiar with them; so my biology teacher and I took my container to the chemistry teacher to show him; well somehow, I am not really sure; my container fell on the floor and shattered (it was glass); no one knew that lady bugs were in the container; so a couple of people screamed and lept up on their desks. They thought spiders or something gross. Haha it was funny. Both teachers and I just burst out laughing. It was quite funny.

Any chance you found out what they were made of? That'd be interesting to know...
I would have thought different coloured bits of glass...
sorry for the late reply. Yes they are just colored glass. I mean they arn't other peices of glass in the marble. Its strange, its part of the marble and not something apart. i bet its colored glass that dried and fused with the rest of the marble.

During a party, I bashed my head on my friend's family's entire porcelain/china collection.

Okay so this happened the other night round my boyfriend's flat. He and my friend's boyfriend went to work and stupidly left us girls in the flat with lighters, ashtrays, rizla papers and toilet roll. Naturally we wanted to set things on fire.
So we put a piece of rizla paper in the ashtray and set it alight. Yay fun. Then I discovered the loo roll... so we shoved some loo roll in the ashtray and set that on fire but it caught a lot quicker than we expected it to.
Me (being sensible) realised there was nothing in the ashtray that could've caught on fire so the paper would just burn itself out. Kerry (being blonde), paniced, and BLEW on the fire. Hot ash and sparks EVERYWHERE.
We spent the next 15 minutes stamping out the sparks...
