How did that get there?

    I've had two "How did that get there?" experiences in that past week. Last Saturday, after the matches in Croke Park, I went to meet up with some of the other Boardsies from the GAA forum, and also some other friends. Later in the evening, I happened to look at my left arm. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt. All over my arm was loads of lines of ink, like if someone had been scribbling on my arm with a biro. I hadn't felt anyone writing on it, and I wasn't drunk at the time. It was very strange and had me a bit puzzled as you can imagine. :confused: The mystery was solved a little later when I noticed that there was a biro in my shirt pocket and the nib of it was just sticking out of the bottom corner nearest to my arm. Obviously during the course of the evening as I was leaning over the table it must have been coming in contact with my arm. Still, it was strange that I hadn't felt it.

    Then, last night, I was in bed. I'd been sitting up in it for a bit and just as I began to lie down, I noticed a very small slug sliding along the duvet cover. I carefully picked it up and put it out the window. But the question again arose: "How did that get there?"

    So, has anyone had any other "How did that get there" experiences?

    I've received quite a few scratches with no apparent cause.
    The theory that best explains it is the cat using me as a scratching post while I'm asleep.

    So I was reading boards and I came across this pointless thread about 'how did that get there' experiences and I said ' How did that get there?'

    Then I remembered I was reading After Hours. :pac:

    Found 200 sponds inside my credit union book a while back. I'd no clue as to how it got there, mostly because I'd rather chop my arm off than save monies.

    A few years ago I went into one of my brothers bedrooms to find him asleep in bed with a traffic cone.....nobody, including my brother himself knows how it got there.

    I suspect a really, really simple explantion though:D.

    I've often woken up with scratches wondering wft??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭A_M101


    I spent two years with a bruise on my shin that would appear and then fade and then appear again. Same spot.

    Then one morning I hopped out of bed bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, stretched, yawned, walked over to my chest of drawers and BANG went my shin right into the open bottom drawer that I never ever closed properly, I was stumbling to the bathroom before the penny dropped. Stupid morning routine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    I have had the experience all too often of falling asleep next to an absolute beauty...

    Only to awake several hours later with a massive hangover
    and lying next to an absolute swamp donkey that often has a face that can only be described as resembling a bag of smashed crabs..

    [Edit] **Insert Yore ma Joke here** [/Edit]

    I wonder how she got there...

    Woke up one morning, felt great and went to jump out of bed, I was drinking the night before and expected a foul hangover but I was free and clear or so I thought.

    Just as I lifted my back off the bed the most horrible pain went shooting around my body, I threw back the covers to discover a a full lenth cast on my arm.

    I shouted for help as I couldn't sit up on my own and my ma walks in "WTF HAPPENED TO YOU" going into hysterics and having a panic attack. Then my da walks in, see's me, laughs and says "what happened you? Fall off the couch tryin to lick your balls?" Then my brother walks in with the eyes in the back of his head, "had to sit with this dickhead in the hospital half the night cause he got into a fight with a mop last night..."

    Was in that cast for 2 months :(

    I crossed over O'Connell bridge once, something I try and avoid doing and there was this ****ing great big knitting needle in the middle of the street.

    how the **** did that get there?

    Many a time I woke up,rolled over and muttered.."How did that get there"?.

    I opened my front door about 3 weeks ago after hearing shouting outside. And there was a full set of luggage sitting in the middle of our drive way. I went upstairs to get ym brother to show him and when we went back down they were gone. It was bizarre.

    When i was asleep a few years ago i heard this scratching on the door outside my room. I got up to see what it was as there was nobody else in the house and there were no pets. I opened it and there was this huge crab there. Now i don't live anywhere near a beach and nobody in the house had recently been to one. still have no idea how he got there and how he made it up 2 flights of stairs if it came from a neighbors house.

    My sister was leaving her house one morning and found a bag on her front doorstep. She opened it and it was filled with Law Books, she looked at the name on the inside and recognised the surname as a friend of hers whose brother is studying law. She rang her friend and sure enough, her brothers bag filled with expensive books had been stolen two weeks before.

    So it got from being stolen in a pub in temple bar, to my sisters doorstep in Deansgrange two weeks later!

    How the **** did that get there??
