Prom disaster stories!
With so many people attending proms at this time of year, i thought it'll be funny to start this thread. Anyone with any embarrassing or disasterous stories to tell? I got a few......
A few months ago i attended my placement formal which meant that i had to stay over at my cousin's house. About 2 hours before the formal starts, i arrived back at hers after my presentations were finished. i got out her house keys, fit them into the lock, heard the click and turned the handle....but the door won't open! there was a 2nd on the door which they never usually lock and of all days..they decided to lock both locks and i didnt have the second key!!!! They were all out for the night, getting drunk and i was stuck outside and time was tickign away! then i had to ring my cousin, offer to pay for her taxi fare back to the house. By then i only had an hour to get ready and get there! I then rushed all my make up, hair and other prep and turn up fashionable late for the prom....brilliant! Still managed to look reasonably glamorous though!
Another one was at my summer ball last year. I just bought a pint of stella (how classy) and when i turn to leave the bar, i didnt notice the step and I tripped and spilt the pint of stella all over the front of my crimson silk prom gown!!!
It looked like i peed myself! (>_<)
Any more stories to add?

this is not a prom story but last summer we went to a wedding and decided to stay in a hotel the night before because it was in sheffield. On the morning of the wedding me and my cousin who i was sharing a room with, came back up 2 hours before the wedding to find we coluld not get in. We called the hotel maintenance people and they couldn't get us in. At this point my cousin, who cares about this kinda stuff, was stressin as she had not even had a shower yet, we both still had to get changed do our makeup and curl my hair. In the end they had to break the door so we could get in!! i was told it could only happen to me and i've still got the lock from the door for the memories!
Well, me and my boyfriend got an award, which was funny because I'd thought everyone hated me. But then when I went up, some means kids sprung a really cruel trick on me and covered me with pigs' blood, from buckets above the stage. Naturally, that set off my telekinesis and evil powers, which are uncontrollable once they get going. The whole gym spontaneously combusted with everyone inside, but I'm over that sort of thing now. Luckily I've learnt to take a deep breath and count to ten.
it was quite funny that i got asked to go to the ball by the nicest but also the quietest boy that i know and the phone conversation went like this
boy : how would u like to go to the prom with the best lookin boy in school?
me: (thinkin he must be askin me for one of his friends coz it was way too brave for it to be him ) who's that then?
boy: awwww well will u settle for goin with me?
ha i felt so mean but i genuinly thought he wouldnt be brave enough to ask me lol. as it turned out he was such a nice boy the car was ordered to drive us home rele early and the party wasnt finished at all so i went home and got my dad to drive me back again so that i didnt miss the end

Oh, hang on. I was confusing my life with that of Sissy Spacek's character in the film "Carrie". Still, there's still another fortnight during which I could acquire evil, uncontrollable powers and ruin my 6th form ball.
Oh my god... I had only just dealt with those mental scars and then you go and bring it ALL back to the surface!!
That film was weiiird. Just remember not to go OTT and kill your mother - thats the sort of stuff all evil-doers end up regretting.
why do people call it a prom? if your english then its a ball or formal, we're not american? that irritated the hell out of me hearing girls talking about their "prom dresses".....

Haha thats very true...i usually use ball or formal. I dunno why i used the word 'Prom' to be honest! must have been hanging out in the Fashion and Beauty forum too much!
But if i were to change it to "Ball disaster stories!" then that sounds kinda dodgy......

Call that a disaster? (I think your punctuation is more of a tragedy).
We have a "ball" rather than a "prom" at my school, but people would get the wrong idea if you wrote that in the title of threads, as Ting-Ting has pointed out.
