Drunk gets a rude awakening after snooze in shop bed

Tuesday December 04 2007


An IRISH tourist on holiday in Bulgaria is facing a €3,000 fine after breaking into a furniture store to sleep on one of the shop window display beds for the night.

The 30-year-old, whose name and address have not yet been released, was arrested when staff arrived for work the next day to find him partially dressed and snoring away -- and he is now facing criminal charges and a hefty fine for the stunt.
The man was on holiday at the Bansko ski resort and lost his way after drinking with pals. He eventually broke into the furniture store by forcing open the door -- and fell asleep in the bed in the display window.
He was woken up the next morning by police who were called in when staff turned up to find him in one of the showroom beds.
A police spokesman said: "He was furious when officers tried to get him out of his bed, we believe he had been drinking. It took him a long time to realise where he actually was.
"He has since apologised, and his lawyer has said he will make good on all the damages.
"He claimed he thought hotel staff had locked him out for the night -- and as he had paid for the room decided to break the door down anyway."
Mario Metodiev (45), owner of the Metodiev Furniture store in Banska, said: "My staff wondered why there were so many people looking in through the window so early -- and there was this guy passed out on the bed."

We should put a crime on the books called "Maintaining the Irish stereotype", and jailing all of these idiots who go away and manage to make the headlines for drunken idiocy.

I hope the furniture store owners haven't checked their bathroom and toilet showroom yet....

I hope they throw the bookshelf at him.

Pretty ballsy stunt imo, even for a drunk

Funniest thing I have heard in a long time! Imagine seeing a guy in the window walking by, hilarious. It'd been funny if he scored some equally drunk one.

He should make good on damages of course, but because there was no malice involved I think they should be light on additional sentences. Naming and shaming him would be the best punishment!:p

Thank you.

A few years ago, I was skiing in Austria. I took ski classes for three days and met one of the craziest people I will ever meet. She was from Cork and had all sorts of mad stories. Anyway, she arrived late for the ski class one day. When we finally sat down for lunch she told us why. She'd been out on a mad one the night before, drinking all sorts of crazy things like %80 rum and the like. She got so drunk that when she wanted to go home she got in a big truck with a man who was going to Amsterdam. She said she thought it would be fun to get some weed so got in the truck him and he drove off. About 40 minutes later she realised Amsterdam was far away and jumped out of the truck when it stopped at some lights. She drunkenly wandered up to someone's house, opened the door (nobody locks things in Austria) and got in to someone's bed, where she conked out. She was woken up in the morning by a nice man who said she'd woken them up by coming in to their house but they thought they'd let her sleep. He then drove her back to the resort we were staying in.

Now that's proving an Irish stereotype! I was only about 18 at the time and I couldn't believe a girl could be so reckless!

Holy crap! She's extremely lucky she didn't do that in some place like, um, Saudi Arabia. From the sound of that story, Austrians are rather nice people.

I know! Imagine driving the girl that drunkenly broke in to your house back to her holiday resort! I do remember that story sometimes and wonder has she got herself in to serious trouble in the last few years!
