Strangest place you've ever been stuck in.

    On the way to work this morning, the story of the chap in Cork stuck in a kiddies highchair in McDonald's was doing the rounds on the radio.

    It started with an innocent McDonald’s Happy Meal and ended with police having to free a grown man stuck in a baby’s high chair. A man in Cork was left truly embarrassed after getting himself stuck in the seat for toddlers at the fast food restaurant earlier this week.

    The hungry customer had popped into the McDonald’s late on Tuesday evening before he landed himself in hot water with three unimpressed police officers.

    A witness who snapped the unusual incident said the man had clearly had a few drinks before getting jammed in the grey seat. Police were called to the Mcdonald’s in Cork.

    He was eventually freed from his uncomfortable sitting position and released without charge, winning internet notoriety along the way.

    The picture of his predicament was uploaded onto online image hosting service Imgur where it has been viewed thousands of times.

    So my question is, have you had any situations like this? Where's the worst place you, or someone you know, has been stuck?

    There will be Predictability Points for whoever says 'In a Moment' and/or 'On You'

    When we were kids my brother got his head stuck in the railings on the balcony of Skerries sailing club. His ears were buttered to get him out!

    Even now, over 20 years later when I think of it I start laughing :D

    Can't really talk about it for legal reasons, but it involved some railings, a policewoman's jacket and a part of my anatomy on Parliament St in Central London (outside the Foreign Office)

    The ladies toilets in Ennis bus station. Had to stand on the toilet so nobody would see my shoes thereby identifying me as male.

    I'll explain later.

    under a water tank in an attic when I was doing work experience as an electrician. Was there for about 20 mins before I got free while everyone else was on lunch.

    Nothing worse than getting stuck in an Aldi/Lidl checkout line.

    Remember one cabbage kept standing his coke bottle up everytime the motion of the conveyor knocked it down. When the queue was going slow he shouted at the cashier 'me fookin ice lollies are meltin'

    What a thick bstard he was.

    I got my hand stuck down the jacks once. I was trying to get rid of a pesky floater that refused to go for a swim.

    Luckily I wasn't naked when a family member came to the rescue.

    Don't worry though, I wasn't there long enough that I had to resort to drinking toilet water to survive.

    Remember when younger when baggy combats were al the rage I got them tangled going over a barb wire fence (I live out country) and dunno how but I ended up having to take them off while balancing on a dodgy old limestone wall while 2 my best friends laughed- the fear of sliping and havin my balls impailed still gives me cold sweats

    A 12 inch metal ring. Metal was about 2 inches thick and reinforced. It was used on a machine in a factory I worked in.

    I naively thought that if I could get it over my shoulders it would go over the rest of my body easily enough. However it stuck on my hips. It wouldn't go back over my shoulders either.
    I had to whip the trousers off in a meeting room at work and literally force the thing over my hips. The bruises for weeks afterwards were horrific but still better than explaining to our H&S rep.
    The guy who 'bet me' I couldn't do it found the whole thing side splittingly funny of course:mad:.

    On a broken-down train for over an hour, somewhere in the English midlands, beside a toilet factory. Staring out the window at a massive yard full of toilet bowls. Nothing but toilets, as far as the eye could see.

    A bloke I know got his big toe stuck in the tap and knocked himself unconscious in his bath one night.

    He was crackin' one off when his mother opened the door and walked in , the shock off her screaming at him cause his leg to snap forward jamming his toe in the tap , he knocked himself out cold smacking his head off the bath.

    When I was a kid I got my head stuck in between the beams in the stairs. The beam had to be cut with a saw.

    The cliffs at Lahinch, I was 13 and fairly handy at climbing but halfway up I realised it was going to be tough getting down, I froze and panicked for a while but then I went for it, Grazed all my stomach chest and hands and landed on my back in the sand, Some buzz though.

    Got off the bus because of the skats traveling through Moldova, Wtf !!!! Ended up in a time warp of a village, people looked very like Roma Tbh....
    Worst thing was sitting at the bus stop praying for a bus to come only to be told by a local drunk , with use of my translation dictionary that there's no bus until tomorrow night....

    Some local aul one forced me to her bloody house (if that's what u could call it) and basically I was made their guest of honour lol she had one of the hottest daughters I ever saw which helped but things took a mental turn when I was brought to a wedding reception that night only to be treated like I was fukin bono or the likes lol

    Sureal is an understatement but one of the best things that ever happened to me lol what an experience!!!

    Years ago I worked for Boots in York. The staff changing rooms were on the 3rd floor and you had to type in security codes to get to the various staff areas. On my first day, at the end of shift, I was still getting my bearings and I was slower than anyone else leaving.

    I got downstairs and went to the exit to leave but the door was locked, I didn't have a security code for it and their was no security guard around and nobody in the security camera room. At that point I started to panic and I was starting to worry that I might set off the alarm while I was wandering around.

    I was wandering all over the place desperately looking for a security guard to let me out. Just as I was about to call my Husband to see if I should call the Police so they could contact a Key Holder member of staff to come and let me out a Security guard appeared and let me out.

    I felt like such a plank, but was so relieved to get out:o

    My car. It was a really cold morning and the door locks on both sides got frozen somehow while I was inside. Had to find a sunny spot to park in to defrost them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 591 ✭✭✭spankysue


    I got stuck in a toilet once, was only about 4 and using the bathroom in my grannies house when I fell down and got me arse stuck in it. Was shouting for my dad to pull me out for about 10 minutes before he heard me, then he nearly tore my arms out of their sockets trying to free me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,101 ✭✭✭brianblaze


    Okay... Picture the scene...

    On a Bus Eireann bus to Dundalk from Dublin, the one that took 3 hours, back in 2002. Started to doze off and was woken by the bus suddenly stopping. It's pi$$ing down with rain outside and pitch dark. Looked up groggily to see what the story was with the abrupt stoppage.

    Look down the aisle to see the driver getting out of his seat and calling after someone in the dark. I'm thinking '$hit, this is all a bit horror movie-esque right now...' Sat up in the seat and tried to look out the window to see what was going on. Literally, again, straight from a horror movie, all I see is the bus driver and some bloke on the side of the road, being illuminated and then left in darkness every few seconds by the eery orange light of the indicators.

    I look around to see if anyone else is taking any notice of what's going on, and, again, horror move style, I was the only one on the bus... Suddenly the driver hops back in, turns off the bus, and gets off the bus again leaving me in total darkness on the bus...

    So, to answer your question, Dundalk.
