    Remember landing home from a nightclub with a soap dispenser one night...god knows how i managed to get it off the wall..Drink seems to give people super strength..

    Could have been the same night (can't remember) but stole one of those 'unexpected pregnancy' pictures from the back of a cubicle door :o

    And of course the obligatory randomers jacket and traffic cone on occasion

    Election posters. A mate and I filled our whole flat with them one night in college.

    It wasn't me but a mate brought home some of those road works flashing lights. He set them up, there was 4 of them and called me in to look. It was a wtf moment. He brought them camping after that.

    My friend and I fished an oil barrel out of Lake Michigan and gave it to my room mate as a present, thanking him for the plank he had given me the night before.

    We were completely sober.

    I miss Mr. Drummond :(

    That's actually a pretty cool (and useful) thing to rob..and wouldn't have happened only for the delightful consequences of alcohol consumption

    I sneaked one of those small 1 cup teapots into a friends back pack in the pub for mischief.

    He told me that later he was back in some gaf and there was an American guy boasting about robbing a pint glass and he whips out the teapot and says

    'a pint glass?'

    'pfff try a teapot'!

    I have a friend who brought home a traffic light after it was damaged in a traffic accident. This was about 20yrs ago and they wired it up and put switches to override the controller aswell, all while drunk.
    I will alway rememeber how bright the light was from it.

    Salt and pepper shakers, not my brightest idea....my handbag was covered in salt and pepper....

    I brought back my phone, which I could have sworn I had lost on a night out about six months previously.

    I'm guessing, having given the matter logical and careful thought, that I must have craftily hidden it from potential phone-nabbers, and then, when I got to that same level of drunkenness again, I craftily retrieved it from what must have been a pretty good hiding place.

    Either that or else it's some kind of homing phone.

    Logical thought be damned though after a heavy night. When first I woke up and saw it on my bedside locker, I thought I had travelled back in time!!!

    back in my serious drinking days I "found" a house sign and transported it back about 10 miles somehow and it made its way on top of my old school, how the hell I got up there I have no idea

    A housemate of mine arrived home one night with a crate of apples. He climbed a wall and robbed them from the back of our local Supervalu

    Not really random but definitely the most useful for me was a Chinese food menu within a fancy leather covering from a local Chinese restaurant.

    Just made ordering take away that much more enjoyable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,001 ✭✭✭recylingbin

    I randomly use the word random inappropriately.
    The randomness of it all.

    I was told some students stole an LED sign from outside a church.

    A sign from a johnny machine from a pub, had it the whole night in the club under my shirt...

    Numerous jackets and shoes which were not mine, and shame,always have shame after a night out :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,528 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Bottle of tomato ketchup. Came in handy at least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    One night when I broke up with a fella I had been seeing, and got really drunk, I took to carrying around the little paddles you get with cocktails and telling anyone who dared look at me that if I was up the creek at least I had a paddle. It ended up in the lining of a jacket for years.

    Also have brought home a wine menu from the Derry City Football Club Supporters bar (sorry lads!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 329 ✭✭Magic Beans


    A bus stop complete with the huge ball of concrete it was bedded in.
    We were going home with few pints on us and there was no sign of a bus so we up-rooted it and carried it along with us. We thought all we would have to do was stand it up and hold out our hands out if a bus came along. It amazing the way the brain works under the influence of alcohol.

    I came home one night with someone else's camera in my bag. I didn't notice it til the next morning. I have no idea how the camera got in my bag (I swear I didn't steal it). I was thinking maybe someone picked up my bag thinking it was theirs and put the camera in it.

    I asked all people I was with that night in the pub, if it was theirs - none of them owned it and they didn't recognise anyone in the photos on the camera. There was a few people I didn't know sitting at our table that night that knew friends of mine. I searched through facebook on that 'friends of friends' page, checking if anyone there was in any of the photos on the camera. Didn't find anyone.

    I went dancing that night too. We had our bags on the floor and we were dancing around them. I think I would have noticed if someone had picked up my bag there.

    It's a mystery how that camera ended up in my bag and who owns it.

    This is the camera and if anyone on boards owns it, send me a photo of yourself to proof its yours, and I'll give it back.

    once stole a a big box of milk for a dispensor from outside a cafe, it survived a round of hungover karate kicks but was not so luck with knife throwing across the kitchen, the result was very messy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 174 ✭✭jeddie20

    I cycled a kid's tricycle up Bird Avenue into Clonskeagh and back into Belgrove a few years ago!

    In Boston a few years ago we were walking home from an Irish bar. Two of our friends were lagging behind. Arrived back in the apartment some time later carrying two dumbells each, that they saw outside on someone's stoop. Random


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Walking home in the early hours
    And the delivery man had left the papers outside the newsagents

    Well they were wrapped in a cable tie which I can't open so came home with a stack of papers and eight cartons of milk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,695 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Oh yeah at a dinner dance a good few years ago, a few of the lads tried to rob the grand piano from the residents bar. Have never been allowed back since....

    One night about 12 years ago my then boyfriend (now hubby), his younger sis and I had taken a substance I shan't mention, along with plenty booze, and went wall-hopping around the vicinity of our student house, where a party was taking place, for hours. We climbed some poles in a kiddies playground in the small hours to join in the dawn chorus (yes, going tweet, tweet, tweet), then started wandering home through some back lanes.

    Twas in a corner of these we came across 3 abandoned wooden letters, painted blue, each around a metre high, A, F and D. We each wandered around each other until we realised we spelled FAD. We then walked the rest of the way home in that order, marched into the back garden where a bonfire was going on and some were still drinking, with others in various stages of falling asleep or just waking again, and announced through our giggles we were a passing FAD. Then marched into the house and through all the rooms to inform everybody.

    That was so hilarious to the three of us, but unfortunately, you probably had to go through the whole thing to get what we felt.

    In Germany last year me and my mates brought home a broken computer to our hostel room! it was one of those big ass white ones from the nineties! Creeped the **** out of all our roommates from then on!(there was 3 of us in a four man room so we got a new randomer every night)

    A while later while looking at pictures of the night i discovered we had somehow made it into an art gallery with all this and went around looking at paintings :o(one that was open at 3 o clock in the morning too?) I had completely forgotten that happened:p.
