People Share Their Craziest ‘Wrong Number’ Experiences

The telephone is a miracle of the modern world.

We can speak, instantly, to anyone we’d like no matter the time of day or distance.

A little over a hundred years ago, this would have been considered science fiction.

Of course, not every call placed gets to the intended recipient.

Redditor cowgary decided to find out how strange these misdirected calls could be when they asked:

“What is your strangest wrong number story?”

Some calls were born of good news.

“I got a call at like 6 am, and I was still sleeping so I kind of didn’t understand what was happening- but this person was SO EXCITED to tell me that they got the new job.”

“And they recognized I was still half asleep so they said they’d call me back later, and said ‘I love you’ – I just said ‘I love you too, I’m glad you got the job’.”

“I absolutely did not know that person and they never called back, but I think of that call all the time.”~ boobookittyf*ck28

Maybe it wasn’t a wrong number after all.

“An old friend of mine got a wrong number text from a mother responding to an ad about a used electric wheelchair for her child.”

“For some reason, he used got a lot of wrong number texts. He would usually have a little fun with the sender before telling them they had the wrong number, and share it on social media.”

“But this time, he didn’t mess with her (obviously).”

“He posted it on social media and asked around if anyone knew where to find a used electric wheelchair.”

“The mother couldn’t afford a new one. It got a lot of attention, but nobody could find one for sale.”

“After a couple days of no luck, anonymous donors bought and donated to them a brand-new electric wheelchair.”

“More heart-warming than strange, but a good story either way.” ~ Buckle_Sandwich

A shared moment in time.

“I called a wrong number when I was in high school (I am a male and 43 now) and a teen girl answered.”

“We quickly realized it was a wrong number but started having a little fun banter.”

“She seemed really cool and funny and so we kept talking.”

“I asked her what she was doing and she said she was watching OJ Simpson in a police car chase on TV.”

“I turned it on too and together we talked for an hour and watched the slow-speed chase of OJ in the back of the white Bronco.”

“At the end, we laughed that we had shared that together and then said goodbye. I don’t remember her name or anything but it was a really memorable night.” ~Imaginary_Worth682

Party time! 

“I was home for from college for Christmas break around 2014, and ended up chilling downtown with a few buddies from high school who were also in town for the holidays.”

“While hanging out, I received a group text with a bunch of numbers I didn’t recognize.”

“The message was a group picture with people who were obviously at a Christmas party.”

“I made the only logical choice and immediately sent a selfie back with the message ‘wrong number’.”

“The rest of the people in this text absolutely loved this and responded with ‘hahaha’s’ and ‘you’re kinda cute’ texts until one person said ‘You should come to our Christmas party’!’

“The party was only a few blocks away from where I was hanging out, so I left my friends and went to the party.”

“I find the apartment, walk in, and it had a “record scratch moment’ like from a cheesy 90s movie.”

“Everyone goes silent stares at me: I am the only white person there.”

“After a few seconds the host shatters the silence with the shout: ‘It’s wrong number guy’!’

“We end up doing shots and partying for The next few hours! By far the BEST wrong number experience ever!” ~ monty2

The G-Files.

“Got a call from a government agency, FDA maybe?”

“Anyway the first thing the lady says to me is, ‘We got a call that you have a problem with goats?’ “

“I’m like no, sorry, wrong number.”

” ‘Are you sure you don’t have a goat problem?’ Nope. ‘Ok thanks, sorry about the confusion’.” ~ Thac0_is_Zero

Behold the power of Snacks.

“So… I got this group text about a break room installation. It showed snacks, coffee, etc. It looked beautiful.”

“I responded with a text of my office break room. It was sad sight. No coffee or snacks.”

“I got a response about how it was a company who does that service. We scheduled a visit to my office to sample the snacks and coffee.”

“The branch manager LOVED the coffee. He ordered a completed redo of our break room; snacks, coffee, etc.”

“I don’t work their anymore but… “~ Askirby

A grim coincidence.

“Years ago, while I was living at home, I got a phone line for my computer (yeah, I’m old), but also had a phone connected to it, because phones are cheap.”

“My parents’ room was all the way across the house and upstairs, so they’d call me sometimes instead of walking all that way.”

“One day, in our sleepy little town, some guy killed his wife, shot his kid, and drove into town shooting at random people and buildings.”

“He was killed in a shootout with police at the main intersection in town.”

“He happened to have the same first name as me. At some point during the investigation, they contacted my mom, because she’d made a call to his house shortly before he went on his rampage.”

“As it turns out, his phone number was the same as mine, but with the last two digits reversed.”

“My mom called him that day, and just said ‘<First Name>, get up here, I need help.’ then she hung up.”

“Since I never showed up, she got my brother to help her with whatever it was and forgot about it until the cops showed up asking how she knew the crazy guy.” ~ Wadsworth_McStumpy

Extra crispy.

“Not me but a friend of mine.”

“Gets a text one day that simply says ‘Dan I burnt the chicken.’ Alongside a picture of an almost comically huge fire with a burnt chicken in the center, shoved into a pan that was way too small.”

“This was followed by a stream of increasingly panicked texts about the chicken.” ~ Chancellor_Valorum82

Phone number reincarnation.

“Bought a cell phone you pay by the month.”

“Basically a burner phone, but I only had that one.”

“Bought it at a BestBuy when I was out of town. 3 hours away from home. Same state.”

“2 days later I get a random text from a friend on the new number. I didn’t give anyone my new number yet.”

“Turns out the number I had was a recently old number from a mutual friend. So all my friends had my number already. Just had to update the name. Weird sh*t.” ~ newtizzle

And lastly, the spice must flow.

“Had someone text me for meth.. I think.. They called it ‘cream’ which returned meth in google.”

“Anyway, I didn’t really care but I couldn’t assist them. I responded with a random cop selfie & the message ‘wrong number.. don’t do drugs’.” ~ Mr_Beemer

The telephone is a miracle of the modern world, sure.

But sometimes the real miracle is ever getting in contact with the person you were trying to reach in the first place!

Be sure to check the number and dial again.

Though, clearly, some wrong numbers are just the start of fantastic adventures.

People Talk About the Craziest Things They’ve Ever Seen Go Down at Parties

When I think about the stupid things that my friends and I did when we were young and, well, stupid, it’s kind of incredible that none of us got hurt really bad…or worse.

But what did we know? We were young and living in the moment!

But that was then and this is now. These days I’m usually in bed by 10 p.m. or maybe 10:15 if it’s been a wild night.

But right now we’re gonna take a trip back in time and have some fun!

Here are some crazy party stories from AskReddit users.

1. Jeez…

“Went to some girls house party who made the mistake of saying, when everyone was robbing her dad’s stuff: “Ok everyone can take just one item”

Obviously that didn’t go well her house got obliterated. She got kicked out by her parents not long after the party and ended up on her*in.

Very sad story and nobody knows for 100% certain but whenever we reminisce about it, my friends and I are pretty sure it’s that house party that sparked her downward spiral as she was a well educated girl and quite well off before that situation happened.

She also ended up on Kilroy (an old British talkshow) talking about the dangers of her*in and homelessness years later.”

2. Gross party trick.

“Drinking with a bunch of friends, one guys is smashed and spills his full drink all over the floor.

He grabs the mop from the closet and starts mopping it up while the rest of us give him a hard time for wasting alcohol.

Takes the mop, lifts it above his head and wrings it out into his mouth…”

3. Fight!

“So this was actually a neighboring party in college but we saw the chaos happen in real time. It was Halloween weekend and a friend and I were on his back porch having a cigarette and shooting the breeze when suddenly we heard glass break from the neighbor’s house.

A guy dressed as a ninja turtle was now fighting a guy dressed as a zombie in the side yard as others tried to stop them. A girl dressed as a fairy was crying and saying she didn’t cheat on the ninja turtle guy and it was a misunderstanding.

We just stood there watching this unfold and then someone yelled about the cops being on their way. Everyone panicked and scattered, some people demanded that we let them hide in my friend’s house. He said no and we both went inside. Later, we got the whole story from one of the guys who lived there.

Ninja turtle guy thought his gf was cheating with zombie guy and decided to pick a fight. He shoved him into a door that had a glass pane and busted it (which was what we heard) and then the fight spilled into the side yard. It was so bizarre to watch two people in Halloween costumes beating the sh*t out of each other.”

4. Time to go.

“A girl I know broke up with her boyfriend at a party. He was soooo mad(and drunk), that he took both his hands and formed a hammer , and smashed through the windows. Next thing you know, he is on his knee’s, pissing blood, with both of his arteries severed.

One dude that kept his sh*t together, teared his shirt apart, and tied both his arms, and carried him like a potato sack in his car, and flew to the hospital. He saved his life, in front of our eyes.

We were like twenty people who saw this, and nobody, but this guy, did anything, we all stood there like idiots.”

5. That’s weird.

“Host and their boyfriend having s*x in the middle of the room and everyone else just sitting around watching tv and not really that bothered.”

6. A quick recovery.

“My first ever week at uni a guy in our flat passed out in his boxers & socks after swigging tequila & Southern comfort straight from the bottle for an hour.

He was fully gone & couldn’t even stand or drink water.

We put him to bed, then not 10 mins later he knocked at my door fully dressed & apologized for ‘the incident yesterday’ & said he’d be more careful with his drinking. Just the speed of his recovery was honestly completely crazy.

He did then disappear all night as far as I’m aware but it remains a mystery to me what happened.”

7. Kids are dumb.

“I was at a party in high school and 30 or so people had all crammed themselves into the dining room. They had moved everything out of it and were using it as a makeshift dance floor.

This one song comes on that just goes “JUMP, JUMP, JUMP!!!” Everyone starts jumping in unison and all of a sudden the whole center of the f*cking floor caves in. Not just a little hole but like a 10×10 section just crushes inward and sends all of them smashing into one another.

I was in the kitchen, laughed my* off, and promptly peaced the f*ck out to avoid whatever fallout came. Another time I was a party with probably 75 to 100 people there. The house had a backyard that led straight into a hiking area / nature park kinda thing. Cops showed up and everybody goes scattering into the woods in the middle of the night.

A small group of people I kinda knew all kinda grouped up as we descend into the pitch black forest. We keep going for a bit and stop to kinda listen to what’s going on cause there were a bunch of other groups all around us, and we had seen police with flashlights poking around. One of the girls in the group I’m in sits on a cactus and screams and from above us we hear “shut the f*ck up”.

One dude had climbed like 30 feet up a tree and was just bear hugging the trunk holding on. As im picking the needles out of this girls but another groups comes running past us and tells us the neighbors had started shooting at them with bb guns and they were gonna grab some rocks and f*ck up their house…

Kids are dumb. I was dumb.”

8. Good catch!

“It was towards the end of the night and one guy was asleep on a living room chair, legs over one arm and leaning back against the other arm.

He woke up just as he was about to vomit and his friend literally dove in to catch the vomit with his hands (we didn’t want to mess the house being underage drinkers).

That wasn’t the crazy bit though… sleepy guy had caught his own vomit in his hand and said “it’s okay, I got this” and scooped it back into his mouth, swallowed it, then went back to sleep.

It’s been over 10 years since it happened and I will never forget watching that.”

9. Didn’t even notice.

“At my first rager, I didn’t drink but I smoked a considerable amount so I was very very high. Two popular girls from my high school who only knew me because I sat next to them in physics class approached me in the beginning of the night before I got high, and we chatted for a bit.

There was an NBA game going on during the party, and I was wearing a jersey of one of the teams playing. Most of the party was gathered around in the living room watching the game. That one single room was packed with about 100 people, so it was very hectic.

The team I wore a jersey of lost the game, so both because i was upset by that and in anticipation that i might be a center of attention because of what I was wearing, I decided to leave at that point, even though it was only about 12:30 AM.

As I was waking out, one of the popular girls, who I could tell was more drunk than the last time I saw her, approached me and asked where I was going to which I responded that i was leaving. She then stopped me and asked me if I ever considered her one of my friends. I knew in my head that the answer was no, but my extremely high self did not know how to answer the question, so I said “I guess.” Then I walked away.

I later found out the next day that that girl had a broken nose. I asked around to see what happened and one of my friends who saw what happened was confused because apparently I was there when it happened. I had no idea what he was talking about so I told him to explain.

Apparently, as I was turning around to leave, she came in to kiss me, obviously missed my face, and fell straight into the ground and smashed her face. I was so high that I didn’t even notice.”

10. Sounds like fun!

“We got so drunk once we took turns vomiting in a hollowed out stump in the backyard until it was full.”

11. Ouch.

“I remember being at a party and pointing out to a friend how clean a glass door was that it didn’t even look like a door was there. Not even two minutes later a guy dove through the door thinking there wasn’t a door there.

Blood everywhere, stitches were needed but he just rinsed himself off at the sink, threw some duct tape on the wounds, and partied on.”

12. PDA to the extreme.

“Field party when I was in high school there was a loud cheer going on about 50 feet away. Instantly I figured two drunks fighting.

Wandered over and some girl was lying on her back with her skirt hiked right up and some dude’s face was buried deep into her.

Even with the cheering and hollering he kept going and she didn’t care that everyone was watching.”

13. Became a legend that night.

“In college, our fraternity held an annual, massive outdoor rager outside of town on some farmland. 1500+ people show up, from a private school with an undergrad enrollment at the time around 12,000.

Extreme drunkenness ensues. One of the fellas has his High School Buddy come into town just for this party, and this guy is having the time of his life. At one point he gets encouraged, by a couple other guys who do the same, to streak through the party. Of course, their timing of the streak coincided with officers from 4 different law enforcement agencies (3 cities & 1 county) arriving to bust up the fun.

Like kicking over an anthill, full of entitled, know-it-all, drunken ants. People are scattering, and HSB gets nabbed, naked, by a couple cops. He gets cuffed with hands behind his back, and then the cops put some boxer shorts on him to cover the naughty bits. Don’t know where the boxers came from. Of course, the crazy fire drill is still ongoing, with college kids, cops, and escaping cars tearing through the fields trying to get out of Dodge.

So, the cops who arrested HSB turn from him to arrest another guy running by, and HSB sees his chance. He takes the opportunity to run into the crowd of escaping co-partiers. I, at this point, had my Jeep full of people and as I’m plowing through a field toward the highway, my headlights illuminate a figure that we pass: you guessed it, HSB, in boxers, hands cuffed behind his back, legs pumping hard.

Me, looking to my friend with a lengthy criminal history in the passenger seat: Did you see… Friend: Nope. Me: Should we… Friend: Nope.

So, I am ashamed to say, I did not stop to save our hero. But the story doesn’t end there. I learn later that night at a house party where we regrouped that HSB was picked up on the highway by a fraternity brother and his girlfriend who gave him a ride back to their house. Still in boxers, still cuffed.

When they got to the house, girlfriend called our university police department and tells them, “gee, I don’t know how to say this, and please don’t tell my parents I called you, but my boyfriend and I got a little kinky, and I put hand cuffs on him, and now I’ve lost the keys, and is there any way you guys could help us?”

Our university police department sent a couple officers over, and girlfriend answers the door in her nightie, with HSB in his boxers. Officers tease her and him, uncuff him, tell those naughty kids to be more careful, and leave. 20 minutes later they’re back, sirens blaring.

Fraternity brother opens the door, and when they demand to see the guy who they have now learned was arrested by one of their brothers in blue, he tells them he doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They threaten to ticket all the cars on the block for illegal parking.

He tells them that he parks in the garage and to go f*ck themselves. HSB shows up at the after party, still wearing only the boxers. The next day HSB returns to his own college across the country, after becoming a legend at ours.”

How about you?

People Talk About the Craziest Things They’ve Ever Seen at Parties

This is gonna be fun

I can vividly remember some house parties (and some field parties) that got a little bit out of control when I was in high school and college…and maybe a few years after college, as well…

Hey, we were all just living our best lives!

Are you ready to hear some party stories!

Let’s get wild with some folks on AskReddit.

1. Oh boy…

“Got a gun pointed at my crotch by the girl whose apartment the party was at. She laughed and said it wasn’t loaded.

Then some guy called her back over to the table where he was sitting. He said, “give me that.” And proceeded to pull out the magazine.

I left about then…”

2. They blew it.

“These guys were trying to cook a pig which none of them have ever done, so these geniuses came up with a plan to build a fire pit, lay the pig on top, then place a cast iron bathtub over the pig to cook… all day.

When it was time to feed the partiers, they removed the tub to find nothing but ashes.

They cremated a pig.”

3. Time to go to the ER.

“I once got stabbed in the f*cking chest at a party.

This guy had a ceramic plate of wings (was drunk) and I accidentally bumped into him (dropping his wings and plate) he got so mad he picked up a shard of the plate and stabbed me with it.

I ended up going to the hospital but was mostly ok.”

4. A wild night.

“Halloween house party, everyone in costume except one guy.

Everybody is having a good time until that guy goes on a rampage and throws a guy dressed as Shaggy through a ground floor window and just paces around the room like a wild animal looking like he’s going to do it again.

Everyone’s in a state of shock or going out to check on Shaggy. My mate Pete (RIP) calmly folds up a chair and smashes the guy over the back with it WWE style and then threw him out.”

5. Whacked out.

“An extremely drunk/high guy (I have no idea, he was wobbling around and hallucinating) and he made my bed.

I watched, also fairly drunk, from the corner of my room, as he fell on top of it over and over while attaching the sheets and tucking them under the mattress.

Guy’s mother must have drilled some crazy sense of duty into him.”

6. He nailed it!

“A very fat friend of mine was extremely drunk and said ‘Im gonna do a flip!’

He did a complete front flip, landing on a plastic chair, which broke and sliced his arm open.”

7. Ahhh, don’t worry about it.

“Austin, Texas 2008ish…

I was living with 6 people in hyde park and all of us were under 30 and kind of a hot mess. We were all good friends and would drink way too much and go to parties all the time.

So one of my room mates hits me up and tells me about a party nearby and gives me the address. I don’t really know anyone there but I don’t really care because I’m gonna go get drunk anyways…

So I ride my bike over to some apartment complex and start looking for the right apt number. I take a turn around one of the buildings and suddenly I see a fully naked 20 something girl making out with a fully clothed 20 something dude in the parking lot. She is pressing him up against the wall and both if them are too busy to notice me.

So I nope the f*ck right out of there, and wonder how the f*ck anyone could be that bold. I repeat this girl was full on naked, like without any socks or nothing in a parking lot alley of sorts at night.

I finally find the right apartment and my roommate still has not made it.

I break the ice with all these strangers by telling them about this weird *ss scenario that just happened and everyone has a good laugh. It turns out a bunch of them live here too and they start to ask me what they looked liked.

Just as I am finishing the details about what the guy was wearing and what the girls hair looked liked the people that were f*cking walk right in the door…

Dead silence, then straight up “Hey, this new kid just saw you f*cking in parking lot!” Followed by howling and cackling. The girl (who was surprisingly clothed now) turned bright red and dragged the speechless guy she was with to her room in dead silence.

By this point I felt like I f*cked up. I knew it would be a good ice breaker but I never would have in a million years expected them to walk in the door.

Then someone who lived there said not to worry about it and handed me a beer.”

8. Terrible.

“Guy tried to kill himself in the bathroom tub by slashing his wrists. It was a small-ish party in an apartment with one bathroom so people had to pee so thankfully they got to him in time.

We broke down the door when he finally said what he was doing and called an ambulance.

He lived. Also went to a psych ward for a few weeks after this.”

9. Left a mark.

“I went to a college Halloween party about 8 years ago, there’s was this dude dressed up in a pink gorilla costume just going ham, life of the party!

Dude went a little too hard, he ended up throwing up directly into his gorilla mask (while wearing it), and then followed it up by power yeeting himself down the stairs!

An ambulance came for him and we saw him again the next morning when he returned as a regular colored human and a cast on his leg.”

10. Make yourself at home.

“Hosted a party once and stayed sober so my house wouldn’t turn into a wreck.

Walked into my room and saw the biggest guy in my class (bodybuilding kind of big) drunk AF sitting on my bed watching reruns of Spongebob Squarepants and eating nachos.

Then looked at me dead in the eye and said “What? It’s a good show”.”

11. That’s not good.

“I went to a house party that got out of control. I was part of the ‘clearing out squad’ and I found a very coked up dude in the bathroom washing his face in the sink which appeared to filled with blood, like horror movie levels of blood.

Apparently he was punched in the face by somebody with a big ring which had sliced his nose, essentially, off. I will never forget him stuporously turning towards me to say something and his nose following his head on a 2 second delay like a door on a hinge.

He looked like Red Skull from the Marvel movies.”

12. Lots of weirdos out there.

“A random guy who wound up at a house party asked a couple people if they had her*in, and after we kicked him out he came back to the smoker’s area in the alley out back and tried to physically carry a drunk girl off down the back alley.

We intervened and got her inside and safe, but that was pretty f*cking crazy.

Be careful out there kids.”

13. Didn’t go back there.

“House party in 1990, I was 19 and in college. The crowd was mostly farm and ranch kids, rodeo team people, a lot of HS girls.

I was drinking a beer at the kitchen table talking to some people, playing one-card-no-peaky. Two brothers lived in the house we were partying in, parents were gone. There was a rear-projection TV in the living room with MTV or something on it.

The older brother, maybe 20, was laying on a beanbag on the living room floor in front of the TV. Younger bro comes in, sees older bro asleep on the beanbag. Younger bro decides he’s going to fart on older bro while he sleeps. Younger bro undoes his pants, drops his trousers, and squats over older brothers nose…and pushed. From my perspective the whole thing was silhouetted by the television screen.

A lone turd slithered out of younger bro and landed on older bro’s face. Younger bro whispers “oh, f*ck” because older bro had opened his eyes. Younger bro takes off running out of the house. Older brother sits up, sniffs, picks up the turd, and yelled “you sh*t on my FACE!”. Dead silence all around.

Older bro gets up and leaves the room and heads down the hall. Comes back a minute later with a 12 gauge pump, feeding shells into the magazine as he walked. Younger bro is outside getting into his truck when he sees older bro coming out the front door. YB fires up his truck and tore out of the yard while OB is shooting the hell out of the back of that pickup.

I didn’t party there anymore.”

Okay, now it’s your turn!

Is Sex With People You Don’t Live With Now Illegal in the United Kingdom?

Obviously, 2020 has been an absolutely wild ride so far.

Yet, even in a year when headlines routinely outshine the most bizarre imaginations, some things still manage to be surprising. Such as the various news outlets this month which have been reporting that sex is now largely illegal in the UK. Or, more specifically, sex with people you don’t already live with. So what’s going on here?

Let’s take a closer look.

The motivation

When you hear about a law like this, your mind might leap to antiquated, prudish, Puritanical motives surrounding sexuality, like how some U.S. states still technically have statues outlawing “sodomy.”

But that’s not what we’re looking at here.

In fact, the sex aspect is sort of incidental; collateral damage taken as a part of trying to repair a larger problem.

It’s about the virus

Like pretty much the entire world, the UK has implemented lockdown restrictions this year to slow the spread of disease.

The things that are officially off limits by law (for now) are indoor gatherings, which, as Mashable reports, are defined as:

“when two or more people are present together in the same place in order to engage in any form of social interaction with each other, or to undertake any other activity with each other.”

Obviously, if you can’t go over to someone’s house to hang out, you can’t go over to have sex. At least, not without risking a fine.

Is this new?

Sort of.

The main difference with the legislation that went into effect at the start of June is that before, the “guest” would be in trouble, but now, both/all parties involved could face consequences.

The main gist of the “stay the hell at home” guidelines really haven’t changed much, and in fact have generally loosened as the year has gone on.

Is there any way around this?

There are, of course, various exceptions to the lockdown rules, though certainly none of them are designed to give you an excuse to go get your freak on.

Social gatherings are still allowed in outdoor spaces, though outdoor/public sex is and always has been illegal and would likely get you into a whole lot more trouble than a simple lockdown violation, so no loophole there either.

What happens to people who break this law?

Not much.

The default fine is £100 (about $123), which for most people is enough to sting but not enough to mess up your life. As with everywhere else, authorities in the UK really do not have the interest in nor the resources for running around punishing every last lockdown violation; the point of the law is get enough people to behave responsibly so that the virus can remain at least relatively under control.

For some, that may mean some more lonely nights.

What do you think of all this?

Everybody’s Drinking on Zoom Now and We’re Totally Here for It

Can’t go to happy hour? You’ve always got the internet to keep you company while you’ve got a drink in your hand. Specifically Zoom, the video platform which has surged in popularity and found itself host to an unexpected array of makeshift online bars and parties.

It’s a phenomenon probably nobody would have predicted, but here we are. And Twitter is talking about it. A LOT.

14. Come on and Zoom

Brought to you by viewers like you.

13. Pace yourself

Or brace yourself.

12. Broadcast slumber

It’s like an accidental self-Truman Show.

11. Nothing to wine about

Hey, I can’t give you any good Riesling not to.

10. Party foul

Did you at least do it off camera?

According to my watch, it’s tomorrow.

1. Reach for the stars

I guess this counts as trying out some new things?

Maybe this trend will become the new normal. If so, I’d like to claim a position as a virtual bartender. I won’t actually serve anybody drinks but I’ll take a rag and constantly wipe down my desk while saying things like “tell me about it” and “livin’ the dream!” I feel like that’s a service that needs to be filled, no matter the circumstance.

Have you had a drunk Zoom time?

Here Are Some Funny Jokes About White Elephant Parties

Have you been to a White Elephant party before? Or perhaps you call it a Yankee Swap or a Dirty Santa party?

They’re a lot of fun – folks bring gifts to trade, and guests have the option to “steal” gifts from other people. It can get heated, and it’s even more fun when there are totally inappropriate presents involved!

If you’ve been to these parties, these will look familiar. If not, get yourself to one this year if you can!

1. You don’t say!

2. Uh oh…

3. Not gonna make it this year.

4. Some might even call it trash.

5. Might as well.

6. Swap with the Big Boss?

7. Might turn into a free-for-all.

8. Just like The Hunger Games.

9. They always dreamed of this.

10. Conspiracy theory.

11. Could be your meal ticket.

12. Mine!

13. Trying to tell you politely…

14. I’m here to file a complaint.

15. You won 2019.

Tell us all about your holiday parties this year!

How’d they go? Any drama? Any hilarity?

We’re dying to hear from you!

Here Are the 7 Types of Cookout Dudes Who Show up at Every Summer BBQ

Summer’s end is almost here, which means back to school. It also means the end of grilling hamburgers and hot dogs. But before we get ahead of ourselves, there is still time for a few more BBQs. And you’re be bound to spot at least one of these dudes at your next cookout…

7. The Grill King

This is the guy who runs the show, flipping burgers and making piles of meat to celebrate bro time in the back yard. He is the epicenter of a cookout, and without his grill smarts your backyard is just a lame hangout.

6. The Grill Pals

Yep, we’ve all seen it. Those bros that linger around the Grill King, chugging a beer while making comments about the best ways to grill – whether or not they have any idea what they’re talking about. But really, without the Grill Pals’ commentary, perhaps the meal would be less…I don’t know…manly?

5. The Lawn Gamer

This dude gets the festivities going. He’s probably the one that totes around cornhole waiting for that right moment to spark a backyard competition. He’s super competitive, but always willing to give someone else a turn.

Or at least a guest shot.

4. The Can-I-Get-You-a-Drink Dude

No party is complete without that friendly guy offering to get the Grill King an extra spatula or to refill everyone’s drinks – it’s crucial guests don’t go without! We should all raise a beer in his honor.

3. The Bonfire Buddy

You might have noticed your one friend chomping at the bit for a fire even if it’s 2 in the afternoon. He’s always scoping out kindling and asking the host if he has firewood. But once twilight hits, he’ll be rocking the best hangout fire you’ll ever experience.

This guy is a solid addition to any sort of hang, cookout or no.

2. The Music Man

He’s a what – he’s a what?

Lol.

What is a cookout without ambiance? This guy knows how to set the mood for a great party. He’s probably got a Bluetooth speaker stashed somewhere for when the mood strikes. What’s great is he always has the best playlists ready on his Spotify app!

1. The Grill King’s Best Friend

Nope, we’re not talking about a Grill Pal. The Grill King’s “number one” is his dog.

And what’s great about having a four-legged friend around? He’ll clean up any delicious food scraps that fall on the ground.

This Inflatable Irish Pub is Available to Rent for Parties, So Dreams Do Come True

Ever since I was a young lad, I dreamed of having a bar in my backyard. You know, a nice, casual place to kick back and get sloshed with my buddies. Well, I’m here to tell you today that dreams do come true.

You see, you can now rent your very own, inflatable Irish pub for your next backyard shindig!

Think of it as a kind of bouncy-castle contraption like the ones the kids enjoy, but it’s stocked with booze and you can get hammered! And I guess you can probably bounce off the walls as well, right?

The Paddy Wagon Pub is a Boston-based business that brings the whole party to you, so to speak. When you hire these good folks, you get the inflatable Irish pub that can hold 80 people, complete with booze, Irish food, and even traditional Irish music if you’re interested.

We’re talking full service here, people. And they’re flexible too. The company says,

“It is no secret that Boston is internationally recognized as the hub of the Irish American community and within that community the pub is the place where friends and neighbors gather for good conversation, lively music, traditional fare and the Irish experience of home. Our team will work with you to make the perfect event. We can help design a customized drink menu, ranging from locally made microbrews to eclectic craft brews. We offer a wide range of culinary options and can provide staff to tend bar and provide food service.”

And just to make sure that neither you nor any of your friends get stuck behind the bar for the evening, the inflatable pub is staffed. So – sit back and enjoy.

Honestly, this sounds like a blast! Sláinte!
