House Party Horror Stories

In America most high schools are very strict on their cliques and social networking. When a shy girl threw a weekend party at her house while her parents were away things got out of control really quickly. What should have been a small party to enable her to make friends turned into a three day alcohol fuelled bender that culminated in her pet cat being put in a microwave, her parents' bedroom destroyed and the girl and her family having to move away from the town.

It may be twenty years old but this could be the biggest disaster of a party account that I've ever read.

Anyone got a worse house party horror story? Have you ever thrown a wild party that got out of control?

I don't understand what would go through someone's mind when they're contemplating putting a defenceless animal in a microwave. It's weird to think that people with such horrible tendencies often look like a 'normal/popular' high school student on the exterior.

I used to throw house parties. They were quite popular too. But I don't think anything too bad happened, certainly no dead pets (or at least not directly from house parties, indirectly who knows what effect those parties had on that dog). Just a lot of mess and a few broken glasses. Once a unique ornamental plate got broken but luckily it was the one to commemorate my birth so my parents didn't care (they wouldn't have been very happy if their wedding one got broken).

edit - Once someone put a pizza in the grill and left it on the polystyrene packaging. They also put a spliff in there. The smell was quite interesting.

To be honest, having a house party when you don't have any friends who can help control things is pretty stupid.

I don't have any horror stories, because I've never had a house party. The worst I've seen has been someone who had one and stuff got broken, but nothing irreplaceable and nothing of any real value.

a mate of mine put his hand through the glass in the front door of another friend.....the funny thing is that the friend was more worried about the blood dripping on the cream carpet :p:

i went to one that got in the paper once

Pretty much everything was either stolen, ripped up, destroyed, thrown out the windows. The stairs were mucked up, part of the roof was broken, spray paint was everywhere, toilets were broken etc...

There were loads of riots vans in the area all night as it took a couple of hours to shut it down completely
That was probably the most out of hand party ive been to

My friend's 18th:
Vomit EVERYWHERE. Her parents were home (they're quite laid back) and so her mum was scrubbing the stairs clean where someone didn't make it up to the loo. Some guy went and slept in his car because he was ill, kept opening the door and throwing up on the driveway. Someone fell asleep round the side of the house, we got him inside and he threw up in a crisp bowl.

My 17th (at my mate's house):
Various girls not knowing their limits and throwing up on the patio, then having to be taken home by very unhappy parents.

Post-fireworks display party:
My boyfriend got chest pains and couldn't stop shaking. He threw up when we tried to get him inside, he didn't warm up when we put him in bed, we ended up calling the ambulances. The thing is, he wasn't even drunk...even the paramedics said he seemed sober. He was in hospital overnight, they found nothing physically wrong with him, he went home and slept it off.

Never really seen anything get broken, only beer spilled on posh carpets.

A ladder being thrown through someones front window was easily the worst I've seen. Oh and people WALKING over her dad's new car...

Thats awful!
Nothing much has gone wrong at any parties ive had, except someone fell through the glass bit of the shower and it all broke and some girl thought the glass was money and started throwing it on her head but that seems quite minor in comparison.
Oh and at a party i went to someone stole loads of the guy whose party it was mum's jewellary and she went psycho and blamed her son after nobody admitted who took it and had her son arrested and put in prison overnight.

well, you take a bunch of absolutley wasted people, a beer bottle that won't open and a sink... :|

Or the situation with the caravan door being ripped out and the window on the roof being stolen

Or someone stealing a kettle and placing it in the middle of a main road across from the house

I think the most scary house party i've been to was the one where the girls mum came home unaware there was a party, scary...

Yay, other people's house parties
