Yes, I did that too when I was young. I was given a chemistry set for Christmas in order to save whatever was in any container in the house. I was banished from the house on Christmas day. Hydrogen sulfide is easy to make. But the mystery of what would happen was due to the ignorance of the rules involved. Chemistry is not done that way as a science. What you have described is closer to Alchemy.
Don't undersell the alchemists! Many were careful and patient observers and, yes, scientists.
Anyway, the time I got chased out of the house I had been trying for oxygen and got chlorine. Don't ever mix sodium bisulfate with bleach.
