The Walk of Shame

    Any funny or embarrasing stories guys when doing the walk of shame?

    Got badly caught out once when walking home on a Sunday morning looking a bit of a state. Really cold morning & me just in a little dress.

    Spotting a few people outside a house up ahead, I just thought to hell with it and continued walking head held high. It wasnt until I was too close to turn back that I noticed my boss, his wife & two other work colleagues in the driveway. They had spotted me before I saw them.

    Turns out it was a colleague's house (didnt even know he lived there at the time) and unfortunately during the night his brother had passed away so in typical Irish fashion, friends and colleagues were calling to the house to pay their respects.

    Mortified when greated by my boss saying " Sound Bite, I always knew you were a go getter". :o

    Walk of shame, what's that?

    I think you mean The Stride of Pride

    Got caught by my dad - walking home passed the shop and he came out - expected to get a bollocking for staying out all night but just got a 'well done son, well done' :)

    Went out for a fancy dress party, I decided to go as a "slapper". Amazing night out...costume looked great etc etc....

    Walking home the next morning at 9 am dressed as a women is rather awkward.

    Halloween last year, supposed to be an "evil bloody surgeon".

    Come "time to get the fook out of here" in the morning with the flour in my hair, fake blood on my face and my nurses style tunic (which I actually needed for placement on the monday morning!), I now realise why this Halloween
    LESS WILL BE MORE!

    Imagine what it's like for the women who do it all the time.

    I have none too bad, but a mate of mine had to get from central London to Essex whilst carrying a sh1t load in his jeans, I think it was more like the trail of shame..:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,478 ✭✭✭magick


    Day after Halloween, i still had my Zombie costume on, as i didnt have any other clothes. It was a Monday morning so had to walk past a school with cars full of screaming kids and disgusted looking mothers. It didn't help that i was very badly hungover.

    Head out Thursday night in the business wear and show up wearing the same in work on Friday and you're instantly caught

    No real walk of shame to be honest, as already said, its the stride of pride.
    I have been caught having sex in a elevator and on a kids playground in the city park. Those were embarrassing but later very funny incidents :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭AngryBadger


    Walked from Dennehhys cross to....I think somewhere on Barrack st in Cork dressed as Superman :p (Halloween)

    Did the walk of shame from Mayfield the year after, also dressed as SUperman oddly enough.

    I tell ya they should put pockets in those Superman Onesies :p

    Kicked out of girls house and directed to the Luas station.
    Still kinda dtrunk, sitting on the luas, kinda paranoid as to whether or not everyone was staring at me.

    When I handed my ticket to the inspector, I saw that my hand was caked in menstrual blood. The man instantly knew the score and looked at me with disgust (instead of presuming I had an injury and was in need of assistance).

    I've never had a proper walk of shame after being at a girls house, but I did have a walk of shame after a Halloween house party, a bunch of my friends, we all dressed up as The Baseball Furies from the film The Warriors, we had mini baseball bats and everything, if you are not familar with this film, here is a picture. I was kind of worried at the time that no one would know who we were and would just be intimated

    At this house party people were very uncomfortable with the way we looked, i wasn't surprised because not many people know the film and as group we looked nuts. A group of lads started a fight with us, the fight made its way outside, I was hammered, all I can remember is someone getting cracked in the head with a baseball bat and everyone running.

    I made my way back to another friends house party with one other friend, the rest had gone home, sure enough after a horrible nights sleep in a closet I had to make my way back to college campus dressed like a nutcase, since then I have told myself that I would dress up as something people know

    long story short... mental night out, ended back at a house party that went till 9am, decided enough was enough & went for a bus home.

    Got on the bus, started to feel like pukin my guts up. Had spent my last 2.20 on bus fair so i could'nt get off. Some how managed to not puke on the bus, but as soon as those doors opened.. Spewed everywer, literally, everywher!

    Now heres the bad part. Walkin down from the stop i felt it again & had to stop. So was leaning at a wall of the corner house.. Again, started to get sick..

    Couldnt hav been a worse timing.. Priest comes out of his house ready for mass & im ther pukin in his garden.. With that, my nan & granda drove by headin to mass aswell.. Got a right bolloking over that!

    Really? Would hate to see how long the long version of that story is :D

    Funny you say that. My friend dressed up as Superman during Rag Week 2 years ago. It was a onesie also and he only wore boxers underneath. Anywho, we went out that night and he hooked up with a girl and went home with her. The next day I woke up and called into his room to see if he was there (I was living with him at the time). We couldn't find him and started to get a bit worried.

    At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon we really were starting to get worried when the front door is flung open by a pissed off ginger guy in a Superman costume. Apparently as he left it so late to come home, he had to walk past the schools just as they finished for the day and suffice to say the abuse he got was immense

    Woke up at a house party covered in melted chocolate and ketchup with colouring pencils super glued to my shoes, got some strange looks indeed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    I had to do it once after a costume party.Went in a predator costume and had to walk home at about half 10 the next morning dressed like this with the giant mask under my arm.
    Wasnt too bad until walking down the quay I walked right past my grandmother :o

    Some may have spent all their money,some dont bring bank cards, dead mobile phones or just do it for the hell of it.
    Rather have funny memories then the classic story of "I woke up someplace and got a taxi home.Oh what a hilarious occasion that was"

    I suppose my own one would be getting together with a girl one night who told me that we could go back to here place that night because her parents were out of town. Not good when you realise her rugby playing brother was also sleeping there the next morning. He was pretty cool though.

    One of the worst for me was a very short walk full of stares and looks of disapproval in a foreign country. While in Guatemala i went back to girl's house that i met in a bar. Very small houses with feck all space and nearly every living family member lives in them. So we sneak in around 4 in the dark and into her room. After the dirty deed i feel asleep and woke up almost 2 hours later. So i was anxious to get outta there. Threw on the clothes and tried to find the door in the darkness. I hear someone scream out while feeling around with my hands. I had just stood on the girl's sister who had been in the room on the floor the whole time. Then when i make it outta the door and into the living room the entire family is sitting up. The girls mother, 2 grannies, 2 older fellas and a young boy. The door was about 12 feet away but was the longest walk of my life. Just said buena día and bounced. Met the girl the following weekend and had a good aul laugh about it.

    MIne follows the halloween pattern woke up nov 1st not at home, the costume i had previous night was a full costume helmet and all, so decision was either wear it, on bus and head home, or get bus in shorts and t shirt freezing, i chose the second option and realised half way on bus ride that i would have looked a lot let weird on this rainy cold november in the costume

    Was at a house party after a night out when i was 17. Was well on it when we got back to the house. Thinking i was the big man, lashing back the vodka straight. Wasn't long before i reached blackout stage.
    Following morning, woke up with a very sore head. My clothes covered in sick beside me. Went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. A big chunk of my hair gone, straight down the middle of my head, no eyebrows left and lipstick all over me. I looked like one of the coneheads.
    The feeling of despair i got after looking in the mirror i can't describe. If there was a hole in the ground, i would have jumped into it.
    Anyway, the walk home i will never forget. Couldn't wear my clothes from night before cause they were covered in puke. Asked the guy who owned the house for some clothes.
    He hands me out a guinness t-shirt that is faded and about 3 times too big, a dirty tracksuit bottom and a blue plastic bag( like the ones you get in hospital) to put my own clothes into.
    So off i go, a big line shaved down the middle of my head, no eyebrows, a faded t-shirt that is too big for me, dirty tracksuit bottoms, a big pair of black shoes with a buckle on the front and a bag that looks like its from the hospital in my hand.
    The looks and laughs i got on that 5 min walk home will haunt me forever.
