Worst thing that ever happened to you

    For me it was shaming myself at a cousins 21st birthday. It was an open bar, which i took full advantage of. So after an unholy amount of drink i was dancing the night away like a complete idiot. From what i was told, apparently while busting my moves, i ended up puking what can only be described as projectile vomit, all over dancefloor and myself. After which i collapsed and had to be dragged out of the place. The dancefloor was left empty the rest of the night.

    Worse thing was, i woke up the next day with no memory thinking i had a great night:(.

    Okay, I'm going to try post this without thinking about it.

    When I was younger, I was walking along a wall with some friends. On one side of the wall, was a thick patch of nettles.

    For some reason, I became unbalanced and fell off the wall into the patch of nettles. That not being bad enough in itself, the nettles contained one dead sheep, that had been dead in summer for a number of days, and was bloated. I fell right onto the sheep, which then burst, covering me in dead sheep juices and maggots.

    So I stood up stung, stinking, soaking, and covered in maggots.

    I will never, ever forget that smell as long as I live.

    I once drank my head off with Dark rum in my friends house. There were five of us and no-one else was even drunk.

    I went up to the bathroom, put my head in the toilet bowl and started dry heaving.

    I then **** my pants.

    My friend had to break the lock to get in, and he had to shower me and change me into new clothes.

    Something similar to that happened to me. I was at a teenage disco when i was 16 and downed a litre of straight vodka before i went in. I collapsed within 10 mins of going in and had to be taken to first aid. In there i stopped breathing and they put an oxygen mask on me. My parents were called and i was taken to hospital in the ambulance (none of which i can remember.) Next thing i remember was waking up in bed the next morning. That wasn't really the bad part, the worst part was the almighty grounding i got after it. So there ya go, don't be a silly little drunken teenager at teenage discos.

    Capsizing in a boat about the size of a bathtub from Belize to Guatemala during a hurricane. Was a tropical depression early that morning and then intensified to a Cat 2. The 30-40 minutes hanging on to the half submerged boat was the worst experience of my life. Couldn't even open my eyes with the waves and horizontal rain. The sea is a monster.

    I was also once kidnapped with a few others in Colombia but that wasn't as bad as it sounds. Although initially it was.

    Catching my poneytail in a spinning lathe. The smell of the skin on my neck burning with the friction was horrible, but at least i wasn't scalped.

    This isn't the worst thing that's ever happened to me, but it's the one that has happened most recently:

    I was outside the Crane in Galway on Thursday night next to some really old guy with a beard. We made some small-talk and I mentioned something about how great it was that the rain had stopped. Then it started to rain, and I jovially said "Looks like I spoke too soon. Haw haw haw."

    He laughed really hard at this and slid towards me, placing his arm around my shoulder. Then he started to caress my head, repeatedly telling me that I have "lovely soft hair" for about thirty seconds before slloooooowwwllyyy sliding his hand down to my hip where he held me (I was seriously frozen in shock :() for around twenty more seconds. At that point, my cigarette was gone so I just threw it away and calmly walked into the pub completely fucking traumatised.

    The worst thing about being propositioned by an old man was that it wasn't the first time this had happened. :o

    Worst thing that ever happened to me was when I was 19. Went out to a nightclub with friends, had 4 bottles of bud by then so was not in any way drunk. Then I can't remember anything else. I woke up next day with my mum by my bed. I'd never been a drinker and never came home drunk or anythingt before. She told me that she was woken at around 4am by some neighbours who had recognised me when they were driving home from town. I was staggering along the road in the middle of the countryside. My mum was so upset, she stayed with me all night because she sais I was raving and talking gibberish. I can only assume that my drink was spiked because my friends said I only ordered one drink in the club, and disappeared shortly after. I still don't know what happened to me as I can't remember. Not knowing is terrible :(

    sorry guys its a long'un but its worth it :D

    when i was 7 i think (maybe 8) my dad was doing some repairs to a boat in Wicklow. My ma was pregnant at the time so he took me with him.

    He was in the engine room doing the repairs and i was sitting on deck with a colouring book or something. Then it starts to rain. My da comes out to check on me, sees its raining, gives me the keys and tells me to go sit in the car.

    The car was a 95 Beamer (as good as new) and had electric windows which were open. I being the bright little boy that I was knew that they wouldn't go up unless the engine was on. I moved over from the passenger seat to the driver one and turn the key....one stage too far. And of course the bloody thing was in gear and starts moving...towards the water edge.

    So que a load of screaming people shouting "ah look the car is going for the edge" etc etc, and the next thing i kno, the car is in the water and sinking fast. The water played havoc with the electrics and the windows were going up and down, up and down, meaning i couldnt get out and i wasnt strong enough to break em.

    From what im told, me da and a few other lads jumped in after me and when they got to the car, the windows stopped half way open and my da reached in and pulled me out thereby saving the day.

    I can just remember sitting in the lifeboat on the way back to th epier saying sorry dad, sorry dad, sorry dad

    an eventful day to say the least!!

    he was surprisingly nice about it. When they took it out of the water it looked like was in perfect condition so it was taken into a back shed in the port and a few people with sledge hammers went in after it. (*If the insurance company is reading this, I'm not saying anything untoward happened*).

    Anyway end result was a big insurance payout cos the car was nearly new before i...erm...y'know

    Not always, I was come onto fairly heavily on the same thursday night by a woman as well. So two-thirds of the time I have been approached for a leg-over have been old men.

    That's like telling a woman not to wear make-up going out. :mad:



    Speaking of which, I'm also not going to stop wearing make-up when I go out.
