Lighthearted, and risk free. Given that this is all anonymous and all that.

When I was fourteen, I was out with my friend after drama club. It was winter and dark and fucking freezing but I was sweating as well as shivering. We were walking to her grandma's house in the next village where I was getting picked up by my stepdad in about an hour. I was quite clearly ill, but my mum had not believed me and sent me to a long day at school. As we were walking, my belly churned and I knew that there was gastric trouble afoot. I excused myself into an innocent looking field for "a wee" but I knew it was not that. Thankfully, there were no street lights at all, so even if someone had come past, they'd not have seen. It was pitch black. My friend kept watch while my bowels evacuated what seemed like water and slime for about five minutes and sweat dripped off my body onto the ground, I can remember how much I was shaking and how I had the weirdest taste of metal in my mouth. When the onslaught ended, I didn't know how to wipe my bum. I took off my school tie, wiped with that and then had no idea what to do so I just discarded it at the scene and shamefully scuttled back to my friend. I was then off school for a week with some kind of horrible intestinal infection.

But the field. The quiet little field I'd chosen to slip over the fence into. It was a graveyard. And I'd relieved myself right next to a war grave. Right before armistice. And left my school tie there. How do I know? Because it was in the school newsletter as a "regrettable incident" and anyone with information as to who the culprit was could report in confidence to the headteacher. I expect the groundskeeper reported it to the school. Even my mum tutted about no respect. Thank god it was over 20 years ago. Nowadays it would have trended with a hashtag and a witch hunt.

And now I have finally told the tale. What's yours?

All the arguing on this thread makes you all sound like you're 11 years old. Stop! I don't get how people can be so unkind to each other sometimes!

Most threads on MN end up in an argument or competitiveness.

@notelegant It's ridiculous and nothing short of nasty behaviour! Why does everyone try and outdo each other all the time?

My dh thinks we went to nursery together. We didn't. I let him believe we did as he loves telling the story.

I actually really don't like my stepchildren and my life would be much improved if they didn't exist.

I really would not care if my ex h died. I'd be sad for ds but I'd be bloody happy for me.

When I tell my manager I'm having system issues I'm really just having another cup of tea.

Ah that was therapeutic 🤣

I told my children they had been allowed wine with Christmas dinner .. 4 years in a row .. they loved it and acted a little bit pissed
It was Shloer

I've never told them to this day
........
That is brilliant!

I once let someone smoke a joint which was made from an Oxo cube. He was well stoned!

At a work retreat, when massively hung over, i vomited into a fancy rattan wastepaper bin in the fancy resort while coolly making my way to the washroom.

My ex was horribly emotionally abusive (and occasionally physically).

I'd make his breakfast every morning before work, whilst he lazed about in bed unemployed or gaming in his underwear all day.

Every night when I was washing up, id let the dog lick out a bowl and spoon put that to one side for his breakfast in the morning.

A small victory but it made me feel better.

Ludicrisp · 29/09/2021 09:34

This is the same dog who would eat whatever shit he could find, I mean literal shit. Even his own if you weren't quick enough sometimes.

And actually...... last Christmas my middle child was actually acting a bit tipsy and his acting was far too good. Oscar worthy. And I know my kid. He isn't Robert DeNiro. Discovered that because I had TOLD him he was having wine with Christmas dinner, he'd been merrily topping himself up with Prosecco while I went to get the other courses.

This^

And this:

*we'd been given one of those packs of french beer , small bottles maybe 9 in a box ?
I said they could have 3 each and suggested they spread them out over the weekend

DC 1. Normal
DC. 2 Normal
DC.3 Pissed as a fart with puke everywhere
Turns out no 1 didn't like it so said he could have them , no 2 traded his bottles for some extra PS time so no 3 got them all and just downed them 😂😂😂*

Both completely brilliant !!

The stories are funny. So, no lecture regarding alcohol required, thanks.
