In a game of AD&D, this troper was being threatened by a vampire, and the party was in danger of being killed by a sorceress controlling a death knight. After a flash of inspiration, I managed to engineer a battle between the vampire and the death knight, which was later joined by a flesh golem. By the end of the battle, every building in town had had one of the three blown into it by another's attack, and subsequently caught fire. The entire village was basically destroyed - and it was completely worth it.

This troper once spent $35 at his school's "senior auction" to pie a particular senior in the face. It was worth it.

When this troper was in junior high, she was running for class historian. One incredibly slutty, popular girl had the brilliant idea to insult this troper and her friend during gym. Dumbass move on her part. This led to me putting said girl in a headlock and beating her over the head with a ping-pong paddle. I lost the election, was sent home early that day, and gained two weeks of in-school suspension. Many of her friends agreed that it was so damn worth it.

This troper took this to its logical extreme by messing with his IEP to be sent back to a school that he originally burned bridges with and hated the teacher. To do this he had his parents and school officials make obstructive bureaucrats do their rounds, cut red tape, and all around go through a fair amount of effort. Just so he could walk in and punch the teacher in the face! After he walked in with a smug look on his face and proceeded to do this he got chewed out upon leaving by his mom for his absolutely jerkass move. Don't feel bad, the teacher had it coming, really. (And goddamn yes it was worth it.)

Okay, I'll bite: What on earth had the teacher done?

This troper and one of her best friends isolated themselves from all of their dormmates at summer camp to play with science. We made homade bubble soap out of

Water from our bedroom's faucet

My travel shampoo

Scented hand sanitizer

My travel conditioner

My friend's water bottle.

To make a long story short, this didn't work, we crashed into each other while testing it out in our dorm room, slid all over the place because we had WATER on the CERAMIC floor of our dorm. But it was worth it because our other option was getting make overs! Getting our hair braided and curled and all that kind of stuff! Talking about somebody's camp crush! Oh. JOY.

We also got lost a lot around the camp. Well, it WAS on a college campus. Hence why we spent out quiet time near the mess hall. Sitting in a tree. We were often late for activities, lunch, breakfast, and dinner, plus the team wars, but it was worth it. Camp was one of the most fun I've had EVER.

This troper once attended a music show where she acquired a wicked sunburn, a moderately serious case of dehydration, blisters on her feet and the kind of personal odour that is only acquired by dancing manically in a large crowd of other people at an outdoor venue in mid-July. (Her friend wouldn't sit beside her on the bus on the way home.) She regretted absolutely nothing, even when the next day she felt like she'd been run over by a truck and massaged with sandpaper.

This troper watched himself the entire series run and both movies of NeonGenesisEvangelion. They likely slanted his brain far towards a nihilistic point of view, along with the inherent MindScrew effects, but gave him enough new philosophical material to work over to last him decades, which he is truly thankful for. If you're into that sort of thing...

This troper enjoys the special executions of the Longshot (sniper) and Bultok pistol in Gears of War 2 so much that he'll risk certain death to finish off a downed enemy. When I'm inevitably killed during the execution, I usually exclaim a hearty "Worth it!" as I die.

In order to take a class that was essentially a three-week road trip through Canada, the Adirondacks, Vermont, and down to Martha's Vineyard, I had to take a second class (to qualify for financial aid) and give up any possibility of finding a summer job. During the trip, there was a history-making heat wave (10 hours north of Ottawa, mid-May, over 100 degrees), a storm bad enough to frighten every last person in the van, and at least one episode of near-food poisoning. The second class was a dance class in an un-air-conditioned building during the hottest summer on record. And did I mention I'm asthmatic? On the other hand- three days in Quebec City, one in Montreal, one in Ottawa, two in Sudbury- ''where I got to swim in a meteor crater''- two in Toronto (with a free day!), a hike in the Adirondacks, three days in Burlington, and two on Martha's Vineyard. Plus, taking the dance class meant crashing at my brother's place with his widescreen HDTV, multiple gaming systems, and unlimited cable. SO VERY WORTH IT.

Room I was in was being flooded by trolls in lower case. I yell out THE ROOM IS BEING FLOODED AND THE SPAMMERS ARE RUNNING AMOCK! The mod finally wakes up, they get banned, I simply get booted. My words upon immedatly renterring... "Totally worth it". Severalpeople smiled.

Another time, I couldnt resist mocking a stuck up, narcistic asshole named "VyseTheLegend" using the name "VyseTheMoron" and taking the piss out of him in public. I get booted, and told if i come back in wit that name ill be temp banned. I do it anyway. Dude is less stuck up after. Totally worth it.

Me and my friend's senior prank was to soap bomb the entire learning annex (A small compoud of four rooms with dividers to make them into eight), it was only ankle-deep, but the entire building was covered in it, we never got caught, but it cost us around $400 to get enough soap to pull it off, so worth it.

I have severe hay fever. A few years ago, I found out my favourite band were performing just 20 minutes from where I live. Considerng the closest they normally get to my home town is still pretty far, I jumped at the chance of attending the concert. The catch? It was an outdoor concert and we'd be stood in a field. In the middle of summer. Surrounded by grass and trees. A hayfever sufferer's worst nightmare. I booked tickets anyway, and as there were no assigned seats I also got to the event location several hours early in true stalker-fangirl style, so I'd get a good view. So, that was several added hours on top of the concert time sat in a pollen-heavy field. My stalker-actions worked, and I was only 1 row away from the stage. I took my strongest medication, but as it eventually wore off, I felt like utter crap (And my red, puffed-up, streaming face showed it). When asked if I was okay as we left the concert venue I replied "So worth it". Before I start, be warned, I am a huge pervert. There was this amazingly sexy woman with incredibly tight low rise white pants who worked in a supermarket in the medicine aisle. I was semi-lost from my family when I saw her. She was bending over to pick up something and I almost hit a wall. Her ass was so close to me it looked irresistible. I could see some skin and even her white lacy panties. I just had to grab it. It felt soo good! She didn't seem to notice so I grabbed under her pants and felt her hot ass through her undies. Even more amazing!! Then I slapped it a few times before she finally noticed me! She asked what the hell I was doing and I told her the truth. I still almost got sent to the cops, but it was definitely worth it!!
