I have two, pretty sure the first I'll get negged for but oh well :cool:

So, first year. Me and all but one of my flatmates were in my room, watching random videos on youtube. We eventually ended up watching videos of midgets wresting. Which, of course, we found hilarious. By the end we were all nearly in tears giggling. So we all went out of my room and bumped into my other flatmate. She asked us what was so funny and I explained that we watched midget wresting, then started explaining how hilarious it was and invited her to watch. She looked a bit like... stunned at what I just said, and everyone else went quiet. Then we all went back to our rooms. Later, someone explained to me that her brother is a midget, and everyone knew but me. But she thought I did know, which makes it even more awkward.

And the second is more kinda an awkward semester of lectures. We have this one lecturer that included quizzes and asked random people random stuff, which is a bit cringy when you're not really paying full attention and you get called out in front of a lecture hall of people. We also all had to answer true or false questions, where you had to put your hand up if it was true, hand down if false, or stand up if you didn't know. Then he picked on random people to explain their reasoning so you couldn't just copy other people's hands. Although, once I did and he asked me how I came to that conclusion. I just said I guessed. Oh, and if people got questions right he'd throw stuff (sweets or fruit) at them. My oh-**** moment comes from this... I got an orange thrown at me once. I have terrible depth perception and hand-eye coordination. So I missed. But in flailing to catch it, I batted it with my hand. It fell to the floor and started to roll down the steps towards the front. I had to scurry after it while everyone laughed. :colondollar:

My biggest "Oh ****!" moment was a 24 hour time period celebrating my 19th Birthday. We'd started the night by pre-drinking in my flat where I had drank about 2 Litres of cider and changed into an 80's Hawaiian shirt. Jump to the clubs and bars where I was force fed a cocktail of stella, birthday cake shots and absinth. Soon after we headed home and called a taxi, after my friends decided I had partied enough after trying to kick the bouncer out of the club and I finished doing a solo act to 'my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard' in the middle of Revolution.

In the taxi, I put the window down in case I chundered everywhere. We drove past a police car and I shouted at the top of my voice "HELP!! I'm being kidnapped!!". The taxi driver was not impressed. I was left in the safety of my bed by my friends.

The next morning, my friend came to my halls to make me a birthday meal I had been promised and got me out of bed... and my mouth tasted like Satan's dick. I managed down some bacon and a bit of pasta. 20 minutes later I threw up the pasta..... through my nose. I'd forgotten to move my hand from my mouth.

Truly an "Oh ****!" 24 hours. :biggrin:


That "HELP!! I'm being kidnapped!!" is hands down one of the funniest things i've ever heard!

My worst incident was when I was living back in student halls (the horror!) and I'd just come back from work. Baring in mind that a year before I went to uni I had an experience where I was in a lift that dropped 5 stories because of the weight limit being exceeded. So I get in the lift (still a bit hesitant about them at this point) and there's 4 other people already in there. The lift stops at floor 1 and 2 guys want to get in so they can go up to floor 2. Someone inside the lift decides that this'll be a good idea so they get in and the doors close. About 5 seconds later the lift stops in between floors and won't move. We were stuck in there for an hour with 2 guys who had bought hot takeaway with mayonnaise and chilli sauce without any air conditioning and stuck in a confined metal space. It quickly became unbearably hot in there. When we eventually did get out there was condensation all over the inside of the lift. Awful hour.


I had a terrible fear of lifts when I was a kid. Nothing remotely as bad as happened to you ever happened to me (got stuck in one for about 5 mins, and that's it), but at our local shopping centre, the lifts are surrounded by glass, and you can see all the way to the bottom of the shaft, which is about 30ft below the ground floor, and seeing that has put me off lifts for life.

Having said that, I use the ones at work every day because there's no way I'm climbing 12 flights of stairs every day :eek:

So I'd just split up with my then girlfriend, and York being the tiny place that it is, we were out for a friends birthday, and 3 of my friends ran at me in the club to tell me that she was looking for me. Being the courageous sort of chap that I am, I decided the best course of action was retreat and managed to sneak into an International Students Association party, where they'd roped off the bar, intending to have a quiet drink under the air con unit and reflect on the best way to remove myself from the current predicament.

So, whilst mulling this over at the bar, a Chinese gentleman turned to me, tapped me on the shoulder and proclaimed loudly "You like Asian girl?"

Now, Im not usually flustered that easily, but I managed to stumble through with "Well, no, I mean, yes, I mean I dont dislike them"

He replied with "You like asian girl! Look around, pick one, I get you any girl here" - to this day, one of the most surreal experiences of my life.

If only the story ended there, we went on to another club that opens later than the rest, and a friend of a friend who was extremely good looking was with us, we hit it off, spent some of the evening together - I was just turning around with two drinks for us and turned straight into my ex, face of thunder. Ended up being yelled at, and then the girl I was buying the drinks for, came over, ran her hands through my hair and and kissed me on the cheek, in front of my already apoplectic ex. Cue head in hands, asking myself how on earth this was all happening to me.

This was nigh on 6 months ago, and my friends still get excellent replay value out of it.


This happened in Willow didn't it? It always happens in Willow.

Got drunk one time. Decided to jump the hedges outside our halls. Barely got off the ground in my drunken state and went through the hedge and faceplanted on the ground in front of all my friends. Ripped my skinny jeans in the crotch and knee in the process. Woke up next morning thinking I was dying, blood all over my leg. I'd cut myself pretty damn bad without realising it.

I'm just grateful no one recorded it. We did however record my 2 friends jousting with long tubes of beer cans. This devolved into simply swinging them at eachother, the cans split and they ended up covered in loads of tiny razor cuts all over their arms and back.

Another time after exams me and my flatmate bought £20 cuban cigars and brought our table and chairs outside our door and lit up. We wore blazers for the ocassion, of course (i'm on the left). Good times.

On the wednesday of freshers week we had S-Club 7 (all 3 of them) come and play live at the university. Me being a typical skinny lightweight, I overdid it quite dramatically on double vodkas to keep up with my friends and ended up dissapearing halfway through the gig.
The university I was at backed onto a pretty large football stadium which meant there were always lots of stray cats wandering around the campus.

In my paraletic mind it made sense to launch a rescue mission to which I started running around the large university carpark screaming "SAVE ALL OF MY CATS" before eventually catching one and refusing to let go of it. At this point, 5 of my recently accquired friends came outside to see what all of the noise was about and decided to walk me back to halls as I had too much to drink, with the cat (now asleep) in my arms.

Get back to halls, security guard approaches us to ask why I'm carrying a cat and before I could answer I projectile vomit everywhere....Really dont remember much after that point and have never seen the cat since! :tongue:

That's quite some stalking attempt. The true test though would be whether she followed you to Oki's/Efe's afterwards!

I have waaaay too many!!

In first week of uni I went to sit down on a high stall, thought it was right behind me, it wasn't. I ended up rolling around on my bum. I think that was when my flatmates realised I'm very clumsy.

On halloween I was dressed as a nun, got a bit toooooo drunk. I think I drunk almost a whole bottle of Sambuca. Didn't get let in to the club. The pubs wouldn't even let me in to pee. Ended up in a forest with a mate who helped me pee (I think he saw a bit too much of me that night). My mates somehow got me home. Then I wouldn't stop throwing up. Woke up with bruises EVERYWHERE and sumbuca flavoured sick covering my hair.. still dressed as a nun. (I don't actually remember any of this, just odd flashbacks, and my friends filled in the rest of the story).

One night I was quite drunk, dressed as a school girl (fancy dress). Jumped on someone's back.. Fell off. My face collided with the pavement. It was not a nice sight but let's just say, my face was pretty messed up. The paramedics arrived as I was rocking back and forth on the kitchen floor, crying and covered in blood saying "I want to die, I would rather die, please just let me die." All my other stupid accidents I can laugh about - not this one.

One night my housemate saw me naked. I was in my room with my boyfriend at the time, didn't think anyone was out there, the bathroom was right next to my room anyway so thought I would go for it. My housemate's room was opposite mine and as I opened the door wide, she was standing right there. She saw everything!

One night me and a housemate went on a night out. We obviously drunk way too much because we don't remember anything. I don't even think we got into the uni bar. But I woke up in the middle of the night in his bed, with him sleeping on the floor. I was a bit like huh? So I went back into my own room. In the morning there was a knock at the door with him saying, "what happened?" His clothes were all over the house. He had some of my clothes in his room as well as random items from my bag on his floor. To this day we still don't know what happened or why he was apparently walking around the house naked.

Went on a night out with a friend from home who was staying over at mine for the night. While we were there my mate disappeared off as usual and the guy I was seeing at the time was in the same club so we met up. At the end of the night I couldn't find my mate anywhere, it turns out she had been having sex with some random guy in the guys toilets. (Ew!) Anyway me, my mate and the guy I was seeing all headed back for my uni room. No idea why the guy was coming with us! So we get off the bus, only a short walk away from my room, and I realise a random guy from the bus is following us. My mate was holding his hand and I was like "why's he coming?" But I didn't really care cos I was drunk. So we get back to my room and we all go to sleep, me in my bed with the guy I was seeing, and my mate and random bus boy on the floor. All is fine. Me and the guy I was seeing wake up early in the morning, to realise my mate and random bus boy are having sex on the floor! It was quite traumatic! When we all properly woke up my mate went in the shower and bus boy ran off and told me to say bye to her.

I realise most of my stories involve alcohol!!


Thankyou for all of this, I laughed so hard!
These stories are epic, well most of them. Since it's been a while since I've posted I thought I'd add a few more stories.

- A couple of months back, I decided to try and stop smoking, so I took the anti-smoking pills... then went on a night out. Didn't know that it's not the best idea to drink whilst on them as they cause a bit of an upset stomach. Anyway, a few hours and drinks later I suddenly feel rather ill, stumble to the bathroom and pass out. My friend finds me, takes me back to our booth and I pass out again. One of my friend's boyfriends was there at the time and had never met me before. Our introduction was short as I woke up for a split second to chunder on him then pass out again. He was a nob anyway so all was well in our group.

- Went to Liverpool for a night out and ended up on Karaoke. Mate filmed it and put it on facebook. Point is that after I sang 'We are the Champions' I yelled 'If liking Queen make me gay, then I guess I'm a big homo.' Then sang Bohemian Rhapsody. :s-smilie:

- Went to my mates 21st and got so wasted I decided to play bodyguard for someone's teddy bear.

- Got stoned and thought it would be a great idea to put on 'Day of the Triffids' for everyone. Paranoid City for everyone that night!

Those are just a few, but the bad thing is that I actually remember them quite clearly. *sigh*
