Calamity of errors

    I just had a calamity of errors.
    I'vee had a few drinks (this is where alot of calamity of errors start) and got in the front door (still living with parents so must be quiet). Took about 5mins of scrapping the key of the door to get in. Then coming up the stairs with my very important glass of water I knocked a picture off the wall with my elbow and subsequently spilt water on the stairs. Then needed to go for a slash which when doing it in stealth mode normally requires sitting so I can do it in the dark without switching lights on. I lifted both seats by accident and ended up sitting on the pissy ceramic rim.Then once correcting my mistake and putting the seat down I finished my business and upon standing up my trousers caught the rim of the seat which flung it up and then down again with a very loud clatter waking up everyone in the house!
    So does anyone else have any recollections of calamities of errors where it just ain't gonna go right?

    Pffft, amatuer. Everyone knows you take a piss/puke outside if in that situation.... then you can blame it on the dog.

    You can't be doing that on a thursday night cos that implies you are an alcoholic. Abolutions alfresco is only for the weekend.

    Reminds me of the poem we learn in primary school:

    I woke up this morning and meant to be good
    But things didn't happen the way that they should
    I lost my toothbrush
    I slammed the door
    I dropped an egg on the kitchen floor
    I spilled some sugar and after that
    I tried to hurry
    But tripped over the cat...

    Came in drunk one night when I was 16 (and not meant to be drinking) my brother was still awake watching tv, so i tried not to slam doors or bump into chairs, that would just make him suspicious. But of course me being drunk bumped into every chair and slammed every door. Even telling the chairs and the doors to be quiet at one stage.

    I think he thought I had gone crazy.

    It's a strange phenomemen that. The more quiet you try to be when you're drunk the more you turn into a noisey one-man-band Clown :)

    Op it took you five minutes to open your front door but you still had ability to remember everything that happened and write it all down without spelling mistakes ? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,246 ✭✭✭ardinn


    So many memories (that had to be recalled to me!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    I pissed in the kitchen bin before, obviously didnt remember the next morning.......the bang of piss when I opened it soon reminded me.
