strange things that you've seen happen in pubs

Was in a pub whose name I can't recall (it was upstairs on the quays) and it was pretty jammed. Myself and the ex got drinks and sat down at a table that was already half occupied. Turns out, it was a stag and they had the two tables to our left andthe one to our right as well.
One of them was feeling the effects of a long day boozing and was panned out in his chair. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face. We all looked at his goofy grin and laughed. Then his hand went to his crotch region and he began opening his fly. Before we knew it, he had the lad in his hand and was knocking one out.
The whole place was watching at this stage and the dj, to his eternal credit, stuck on Madonna's 'erotic'.

One of his friends had seen enough and gave him a few slaps on the face to wake him up. Cue boos all round.

Saw someone streak from the back of the pub and out the front door.

Alas....it was not a woman...

The lad was stuck out there for ages without any clothes as his mates wouldn't bring them out to him.

I once saw a Cavan man buy a round.

In a pub in Galway at a table with a couple of friends and some fella was walking out and said 'here ya go' and threw a pouch of tobacco on the table.
On closer inspection it was full of weed

Dunno why he did it but it led to a particularly unproductive week in college

A table full of guys passing around a bra and each trying it on.

Also, a mate of mine's younger brother (from South Africa) had his first taste of Guinness. He got the hiccups and somebody gave him some great advice - hold your breath. So he held his breath, passed out and collapsed face forward onto the ground.

Also, on a dancefloor, there was a guy break-dancing. An older dude thought "I can do that", so launched himself into the splits. He obviously hadn't tried it for a few decades, so he got stuck mid-split and there he stayed till the end of the song.

I know these aren't as exciting as the original post, but I'm obviously going to the wrong pubs!

A man driving a transit van though the front door

People in them on Good Friday.

Was in a packed pub one night in the small town where I live, when a fella came running in the front door with a goat on a dog lead, did a lap of the bar, and back out the door again.

The band immediately stopped what they were playing and launched straight into "Old MacDonald had a farm"

Funniest thing I ever saw in a pub, everyone was in hysterics laughing!!:pac:

We played some nasty pranks during college. There was one night in particular where a group of us all decided to go mad with cocktails, seeing as none of us normally drank them. Well an hour or two later when rounds were nearly hitting double figures a few lads were worse for wear. That's when one guy cunningly decided to get a half empty glass of Long Island Ice Tea, piss into it until it was brimmed, got a few cubes of ice from another glass, and a straw and an umbrella from another glass. The fact that there was coke still in the remains of the cocktail made it look the part.

Left it for a few seconds on the bar until one of the other lads returned from the mens. Propped the drink up in front of him, looked good as new, and the lad threw the lot of it down his throat. To this day he doesn't know he did it. We all laughed out loudly when he walked off.

a genuine ID

This one time, I saw an Irish lad sober in a pub. Was only once though...

Nodster · 02-04-2010 05:43PM

T'is true I tell ya - once saw an office type guy being asked to remove his tie in a biker pub on Capel Street as it might offend other punters

'nudder time saw a burnout being done inside the same bar :cool:

entropi · 02-04-2010 05:43PM

I managed to get served within a minute once...just the once mind you:pac:

A prank is a prank, but pranks involving one of your mates ingesting another's urine are not funny!

That guy needs to get new mates.

This isn't possible because you will take an involuntary breath before you could pass out.

Could've been worse. They could have put Harp in there.

UGH!

JohnMearsheimer · 02-04-2010 05:52PM

Strangest things I've seen were a guy taking a slash up against the bar in full view of everyone and a really really really drunk student wondering around the pub bollock naked except for a pair of socks.

Well then he probably passed out due to the fact that he was extremely locked. Just happened in a comedic sequence.

This girl mysteriously got better looking in the pub one night

Juwwi · 02-04-2010 06:17PM

l was in the pub years ago and was in a cubical and saw my mate at a urinal.

So l took around 8 squares of toilet roll with me and as he was going out the door l sort of pushed him jokingly saying come on hurry up will ya
but at the same time l stuck a bit of the toilet roll in the back of his jeans and he did'nt notice.

So now he is coming out of the toilets with a stream of toilet roll hanging from his jeans.

It was hilarious we were about to head to a night club so he never sat back down he was standing telling us to hurry with our drinks.

The whole pub was laughing they were nudging each other and pointing.

Was in a bar once (Louth) and saw new to the area two lads get offended when their advances were rejected.
Called the woman a slut and other unspeakable terms. Eventually one of the lads went too far and slapped the girl as she walked away.

Well that was that - every local man in the place put down their glasses that was at the bar and tables. The place went dead quite, then one second later all the blokes rushed over and attacked the two assholes.

Biggest mistake of the assholes lives - firstly, the pub was in a small village where they are very protective of their own, secondly, the girl that they slapped was the girlfriend of the MUCH respected (now elected official), decent owner of the bar. The girl whom was much respected herself, worked in the place part time too (it was her night off).

Long story story: there was hospital visits later for two idiots. Frankly, they were lucky to get out the doors alive.

My friends were in a pub in rural Sligo last weekend and the men's toilets was just a single cubicle in the Ladies'

gmonov1 · 02-04-2010 07:12PM

a mate of mine a few years ago went into his local, new barman behind the bar so he introduced himself and ordered a guinness. takes a sip out of his pint and thinks its a bit off so asked the barman can he swap it for a beer. the barman refused saying there was nothing wrong with it, but my mate insisted telling him repeatedly it was sh1te.
so after getting no joy off the barman, he lifts his pint off the bar and brings it to the toilet, takes a sh1t in the glass and goes back out to the bar, puts it infront of the barman and said 'told you that was sh1te'!!!

I think you'll find this reaction in any local pub in Ireland. Some of the ones I have drank in down through the years these lads would never have been seen or heard of again.

Any pr1ck that raises his hand to a woman deserves at least a visit to the hospital.

Can you post the name of this pub , cos if this is the reaction over a disagreement about taste , it must be great craic when something really kicks off. :pac:

InkSlinger67 · 02-04-2010 07:59PM

A few years ago in a club I seen a guy sitting on the bog in a stall with the door wide open, taking a dump while puking into his trousers which were around his ankles at the time. He was so twisted, he got up after the dump, pulled up his trousers and stumbled out without saying a word.

God bless that man! Probably had one or two more before hitting the road that evening! :pac:

thinks too much · 02-04-2010 08:50PM

workiing in a pub in the uk about 10 years ago a bunch of local postmen come in after their shift and proceed to get pissed. Couple of hours later the manager has to call the cops and when they arrive the postmen start throwing glasses at the cops..riot police arrive and the postmen get the living **** kicked out of them by the coppers...the funniest and weirdest thing i have seen in a pub

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 02-04-2010 08:58PM

My second night ever working behind the bar as a barman and I witnessed the biggest fight I have ever seen.

Picture a brawl from a wild west film minus the throwing of bar stools and smashing bottles over peoples heads. Tables went flying, broken glass everywhere. I kid you not when I say about 40-50 people were involved in the fight, it was unbelieveable. The guardai didn't enter the premisis until it had settled down somewhat, and I wouldn't blame them either. Basically it was a 21st in the local and two families didn't get along, they all had friends and the likes with them, it was unreal. We simply could not stop it, I was the only male working there at the time, I was 17 and I wasn't that big at all.

krustydoyle · 02-04-2010 08:58PM

Small pub in a county kildare town, most weekends the patrons would end up doing coke off the tables in the pool room.. no wonder the place had a bad name... :mad::(:mad:
