How many people swear they have heard these stories from friends but actually never have or just read them online?

Unfortunately I’ve heard some of them directly from friends, family or acquaintances: the snake measuring prey story (numerous times), the Bono and Bruce story, the ‘Horse it into me’ story and the ‘Person behind the back seat of your car’ story (numerous times).

My sister is brutal for it. Tell you some urban legend that's being going around since before she was born, swear it happened to a friend of hers, and argue the point.

She also used to get The Onion and The Huffington Post confused and would be telling EVERYONE she talked to "James Cameron is after finding a doorway on the bottom of the ocean but he won't tell anyone what's behind it!"

Saw a documentary/found footage horror film about mermaids, thought she'd seen an actual documentary about mermaids.


She's so pretty.

Immigrants get cars from the dole to get to work.

Think that's based partially, even tho so small, on fact.
Back 10 years ago you could get your taxi license on the start your own business scheme. Soooo many did. Of course a lot who were african. But in true fashion something gets repeated. Details get lost. Someone adds another false bit. Boom. You got something different from the source.

Sorry, probably shortened it too much. People have mentioned it in this thread. The one where someone goes into a petrol station and the person serving them tells them there is someone crouched down in the back of their car. There are variations. Another version is somebody hopping into the back of your car while you are in paying for your petrol.

Ah right. That's a new one to me.

This one is true, but no wonder it never worked for you - your mate gave you the wrong code

Further to the horse/lob it into me boss there is the story of the lad that woke in the morning in a bedroom with short windows, i.e. a caravan. Apparently he had to hightail it outta the halting site.

It was popular in the early noughties but seems to have died out.

Or the one about the guy pulling a “strange”, hot, girl, who, during sex, stuffs a face cloth up his arse telling him he’ll “cum like a horse”. She whips it out as he’s about to blow his “muck” but instead of the frontal “joy” he ends up shítting all over the place. He then runs to the bathroom to clean up and when he returns the hot girl is rolling around and making “poo angels” on the bed.

Such as if you over pay by cheque a speeding ticket, they cant cash it but your fine gets cancelled.

The original ...

One day I was walkin’ across the Curragh of Kildare
And I fell into an officer’s mess
I ended up in the F.C.A.
Squarebashin’ around the wet canteen
Until the commanding officer heard

That me Granny once confessed
To a fellow whose Sister’s brother in law was
Married to a man whose first cousin used to fill
Hot water bottles for Patrick Sarsfield before the Battle of Clongorey

I had to go on the run.

the second is one where rosanna davidson was in anabelles (old nightclub in the burlington) and there is a group of lads there, one of them turns around and says to roseanna, "can i get a photo?" so she agrees and poses and puts on her best smile but the guy says "what are you doing"? and hands her a camera while putting his arm around his friend, gesturing that she should take a photo of him and his buddy's.

Probably got the idea from the urban legend, but I saw a friend of mine do this to Marty Morrissey outside Gills pub by Croke Park after a big match. Lets just say Marty didn't see the funny side

That's a great one. I must know about 20 people who were at the Twin Towers in early September 2001.

Myself and my best mate were in Bali in 2002 for 8 nights. Spent every night in the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar. Bali bombings happened 2 weeks after we left. True story

The only one of the stories mentioned here that I've been told by a friend as the truth was the Gay Byrne story, but this was in the early 90s and I wanted to believe it, not being a fan of Gay Byrne.

That gig was packed out.
Nirvana were supporting Sonic Youth. The gig was sold out by SY.
Probably 500+ people at it.

I really was at the Dublin gig the following night in the Top Hat. I was definitely there for Sonic Youth, but knew a small bit about Nirvana. I've got a good story to go with it too, but it's too long for here. I could summarise, though it really needs the details...

Went from Kildare with two other lads, crashed into a double-decker bus (possibly in Terenure/Templeogue?), the driver went home ("My car is broken! Boo-hoo!"), abandoning me and my other friend with an extra ticket, but we got to Dun Laoghaire ( following a taxi driver into his garden as he finished his shift). Before going in, sold the ticket for £5 to a couple who needed 2 tickets but only had a tenner), went into the gig sober, and left it with nowhere to stay, but met another friend who had a flat in Phibsboro (he went to the gig on his 21st birthday, alone), and the next morning was an hour late for my summer job after getting the first (or probably the second) bus home.

Good gig...

Remember that story about five brothers from Cavan who were supposedly pulled alive from the ruins of the Twin Towers after 9-11? Several news outlets here reported it as fact.

Oh, another one, was about this girl who was either babysitting or had a “free gaff”.

She gets comfortable on the couch and, with the air of a jar of peanut butter, get the family dog to “pleasure” her, orally, only for the parents to arrive in and catch her in the “act”.

The Princess Bride

Dunno if any of you heard this.
Really upset me at the time, even though I did wonder if it was true. I doubt it now, all these years later.

A work colleague told me it happened to her sister's friend.
This woman had just had a new baby and was bathing her downstairs.
Just after putting the baby into the bath, she realised she'd forgotten a towel and asked the toddler to be a good boy and go upstairs to get one.

Next thing, she heard him fall down the stairs screaming.
She dropped the baby to go help the toddler.
He was dead after breaking his neck during the fall.
She went back to the bath only to find her baby girl had drowned.

Seriously, had to be made up.
I hope.
