Urban legends that people swear are true because it happened to their 'friend'

Senna

A friend of mine always told the story about his mate from college who was at an "open day" at DIT (or some college in Dublin), went to the toilet and came back into a large auditorium full of people.
People started staring at him, then pointing and laughing, he just started going red and didn't know what to do. He looked down and his Mickey was hanging out of his trouser zip.
I called bull**** on it for years, how the hell could that actually happen, then I met the guy and it did happen.

The friend of a friend is on holidays/working in Holland (or some other European country). Meets a girl in a nightclub. Back to her place, getting frisky between the sheets. Puts his hand down and realises 'shes' a shemale. Runs out without his clothes and wallet.

The one where the guy goes back with the girl in Ibiza to an apartment and she ties him up.

My uncle was a carpenter working in New York during 9/11. His wife (living in Ireland) told a local rag that he was working in New York which they spun into a bullsh*t story about how he was meant to be in one of the Twin Towers to measure out a floor for a new carpet but missed the appointment due to his car having broken down.

Was told the snake story by a work colleague. Called BS on it straight away.

The one about to the friend who was watching porn loudly and when he woke up, there was 2 cups of tea left by the bed because his mother thought he had a woman over. Was told this one, can't remember by whom.

The one about the lad riding his sister.

The one about the down syndrome kid being kidnapped.

And the classic one about the woman who contracted a disease which can only be gotten from necrophilia.

This apparently happened to an acquaintance of mine.

Some of them would scare you even if you know they're probably BS. I've always been extra careful with my drinks when I meet medical students on a night out, don't want to end up in a bath with a telephone beside it the next morning.

I've heard two urban legends several times.

1. The one about the two lads going shooting and one going asking a farmer can they shoot on his land and he says ok but will you shoot that old lame cow in the far field while your at it so the lad goes back to the car and tell his friend that the farmer refused and drives off and then stops along the side of the road and says 'I'll show that aul bastard and gets out if the car and shoots the lame cow. His friend gets all fired up and grabs his shotgun and shoots 3 more.

The other one is about the 'loose' girl at the party that is leaning out the window and let's several of the party goers have a go (from behind) so one lad goes up and does the job and then when he finishes he goes back downstairs and outside for a smoke and he looks up at the bedroom window and see's his sister hanging out the window while being banged from behind.

That lad that died from dehydration after he shat himself. That was my mate Sid.

Dunno if it has been said, too tired to read words.

My ex swore his friend was masturbating in his room in bed with earphones on and when he opened his eyes his mam had put his dinner down beside him. I heard it a few times after that from different, unconnected friends.

There was also the one about a girl getting some sort of infection down below and the doctors being confused as it was usually related to corpses. Turns out the girls boyfriend who worked in a hospital was riding the stiffs.

That's the one! " Vaginal Worms ". We were told that one by an absolutely mortified girl, whose friends friend had been the victim. She was a nice, quiet girl ~ the teller. Always kept herself to herself, in the corner of the bar with another girl.

She was so stressed out by it, she Had To come over and ask us what we thought. Bit like making a first post on AH. Social f**king suicide :rolleyes:

Next night, on relaying this gruesome story to that nights intake, one lad piped up and just said;

" Bollox! That's a crock! It happened in This city? Well, I was up in (300+ miles north) last week. And I was hearing the same tale there! "

Damn! And it had been so deliciously credible!

Ricky Gervais talks about the headphones one having happened to a mate of his in one of his routines, not sure if that's the original version though.

Ankhyu

Used to work in a pet shop, and different customers would tell me the snake story EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. I knew it was BS first time I heard it, and every time they started telling it, I had to cut them short cause I was sh*t sick of hearing the ****ing thing :mad:

AlexisM

Have three times heard variations of: "friend 1 works in the airport - friend 2 (female) passing through airport - friend 1 plants vibrator in friend 2's hand luggage and sets up security to stop her and embarrass her - but wouldn't you know - security found two vibrators!' (facepalm)

The barman bringing an extra cash register in on busy nights.

The prime minister of the "best country in the world" getting involved in a row over a concert.

The guy who decided to give his car a haircut before he sold it (clock it), but when he took the speedo out there was a sticker on it saying "Oh no! Not again."

Version I heard supposedly happened in London,after tying your man up leaves the room and a big guy comes in and rides your man!

I heard one about a couple got wed in Cork. Groom was saying his thanks to all who came, then thanked his Best man for all he done for him, including shagging the Bride the night before the wedding. Told him to keep her, as she was a slag, and went off on the honeymoon by himself. Also alternative ending was he went off with a bridesmaid he was humping.

A "friend" was in a restaurant and Bono & Bruce Springsteen paid their bills.

The groom-to-be that got tied to a lamppost on his stag in West Cork and got lashed out of it by crusties and then committed suicide.:eek:

Brings a tear to my eye every time

Two girls sharing an apartment. One goes out for the night the other's having a quite night in. She comes home late, doesn't bother putting on the light in the living room, goes straight to bed. Gets up next morning and finds her friends mutilated body on the living room floor. On the wall written in her friends blood 'bet your glad you didn't turn on the light'.

kingchess

the one about the stag party,the best man and the groom- to- be are very very drunk and their pals strip them and throw them into bed and put them spooning each other,but not before spraying deep heat around the best mans backside. in the morning the best man wakes up with a sore backside,he turns around and breaks the groom"s jaw- they had to call off the wedding

Duck's hoop

Guy from well south of border is sat at British army checkpoint back in the day.

Black soldier approaches and asks where he's coming from. On hearing Limerick or Tipperary black guy says 'you're a long way from home' to which Paddy replies 'you're not exactly swinging from a banana tree yourself'.

I've heard that from 6 or 7 completely unconnected people.

(I do not condone the implied racial slur btw..)

Funny how the story has changed over the years, and people seem to still believe it.

Scruffy...The Janitor

A friend of a friends wife was in Dundrum town centre last week when all the shutters came down and the doors all locked. Turns out that there was a little girl missing. She was found in the bathroom with a known paedophile, who was cutting her hair and about to put boys clothes on her in a fiendish attempt to walk out with her. The chap must never learn tho because he's tried it over the years in liffey valley, the square, blanch etc.
