Having a very funny chat with a friend telling her about how over the space of a summer season repping abroad we collected a full patio dining set including:

Plastic table and 5 chairs
oil lamp
wine bucket
napkins
plastic pint glasses
and a no entry sign.

She told me about how she dug up and moved a no sale sign so some poor unsuspecting people woke up one morning to discover their house on the market

So come on, tell me yours.................

I've also done the traffic cone thing when I was a student. However, I don't actually remember taking the traffic cone, and I've no idea where I got it from, but it was no odinary cone. I opened my eyes to a 6 foot orange and white goliath filling my entire ridiculously pokey room. It weighed about 10 stone too. I did well to get it back there. Disposing of it was another matter.....

I've just realised I have lots and lots of stories about being drunk. That's actually a little worrying. :o

I know threaders. I find now I'm 'older' I can remember all sorts of drunken escapades which make me PMSL or cringe. At the time though they were just a few 'drunken moments' that didn't even seem that important or frequent.

A friend of mine stole one of those Ramp signs accompanying roadworks. It means "Thug" in Norwegian. He put it outside his door, to warn us all. It did not work, as we all knew he was the most gentle soul in the world.

Somebody I know stole a landing light from the airport. And the mailbox of the local police chief inspector. There are lots of inspiring thefts borrowings in my town.

BillBrysonsRucksack · 19/04/2011 13:22

Not me, my BIL (and these are only the things I know about!)

Came home and put a pizza in the aga. Went to sleep and in the morning played frisbee with resulting charcoal disc.

Once when feeling sick he very carefully put a bucket by his bed to puke into. Woke in the night, puked into what he thought was said bucket, but what actually turned out to be his trainers

Also a (male) friend of mine has weed down the stairs and in his parents wardrobe. Also tried to get into bed with his SIL when he was completely naked

QuintEggSentialPaints · 19/04/2011 13:30

My housemate (who stole the ramp sign) were known for doing strange stuff when drunk. He once wanted to have a shower. So he undressed as soon as he got in, (where I later found his pile of clothes, and found it most strange, as he was nowhere to be found in the house), and returned OUT through the door, which he thought was the shower cubicle. He then wandered aimlessly around the town center, naked, a police man brought him home, dirty and bruised, as he had slipped in the mud and hurt himself on some sharp pebbles.
Never a dull moment with him.

He also used to bring a pint sized glass filled with water to his bedroom. Go to sleep, wake up, puke a pint, and bring it to the toilet the next morning.
Needless to say, it was only him cleaning that glass, and drinking from it.

My best mate's brother many years ago went for a night out in London, and woke up in Barcelona. To this day, he has no idea how he got there, or indeed why.

I've done something reasonably similar - a few lunchtime beers with 2 mates, then I had a brainwave - "lets go to Amsterdam, right now". Of course, mates couldn't afford it, so bright spark here said "I'll pay for us don't worry". That was a crazy night out let me tell you. I've had credit card debt ever since, and it was 10 years ago.

Beer - fuelling your often fondest and hilarious bad decisions for the past 3000 years

QuintEggSentialPaints · 19/04/2011 13:37

And a more sobering one.

My cousins daughters fiance were thrown out from a bridge on his stag do, by his friends. They were drunk. It was winter, and parts of the river (where the current was not so strong), was frozen over. He was taken by the current under the ice, and it was a miracle that he survived. Of course, he did not make it to his wedding. He refused to see his friends, could not face his fiance and baby. And when discharged from hospital went to the same bridge, where he jumped. He left a note saying "I will go where you all wanted me to go". My cousin, and their child, left town vowing never to come back. Her 4 sisters, and two of her aunts followed. Same with her mum. My aunt, therefore has very little family left here in town. Her two sons stayed put, but her two daughters with their families left.

Looking back it was all a bit extremely irresponsible but...

I do remember waking up one morning to find a set of roadworks had been reconstructed on the lawn of our student halls - complete with cones, signs and a working set of temporary traffic lights.

The funniest one was a guy who came back late after a long weekend to find that all of his bedroom furniture had been set up on the lawn and his room had been turfed and there was a sheep in it. I'm not even sure that alcohol was to blame for that one - the guys involved saw it as a project to fill a boring Sunday!

X-posted. Quint what a terrible story - I'm sorry.

QuintEggSentialPaints · 19/04/2011 13:45

I know.
I should not have posted such a downer. But the flip side to all the funny things that people do when drunk, is the fact that some of us just lose judgement, and what we think is fun, is really not fun at all. Some people do fun things when drunk, others well, dont.

Bloody hell Quint, how awful

I went out at halloween (last year) dressed as Sweeney Todd got absolutley hammered and came home... as far as I was aware!

I woke up in the morning, thumping headache and went to put my outfit from the night before in the washing but I could'nt fin it anywhere... cue very confused Diva and phonecalls to friends to ask if I had went to theirs... nope.

Just gave up worrying eventually because I knew I would'nt have just lost my clothes so there had to be a logical explanation. Walked outside to put a binbag out and there were my clothes still in the pile as if I had just stepped out of them with a bag of sweets (trick or treat I assume) set on top IN THE BLOODY CAR PARK!!!

diva How could you have left your sweets in the car park - what a waste.

I somehow ended up on a tour bus with a band. I thought they were taking me home, they thought I'd agreed to go on tour with them. Took me about 50 miles to realise it was taking a long time to get home! They stopped the bus and gave me money for a taxi home I was so hammered I can hardly remember it but...

About a year later I was mucking out my phonebook on the mobile and found a number stored under 'dmjlr' or something, thinking 'who the hell's that?' I text them just asking who they were. Turned out it was the drummer from that band (did NOT remember getting his number!), we got chatting then had a relationship for about a year He had to fill me in on the details of the night we met! T'was fair embarrassing.

In the garden at a BBQ with my friend who was equally well oiled. It was her garden, and she was complaining about a large leylandii tree in her neighbours garden that was blocking her light.

I decided to burn it down for her. It went really, really well, I stuffed cardboard and newspaper inside where all the old, dry twigs were. She provided the matches.

Her DC was so excited he ran in the house to tell her DH, who looked out of his living room window to see the tree go up like a roman candle.

Her DH managed to put out the flames with a hosepipe - eventually - while we sat watching and laughing like drains. All the damage was on her side, and the neighbour never got to know what had happened. They (the neighbour) moved the year after, and the new neighbour cut the tree down completely

I am going round to hers over Easter for another BBQ but without matches.
