Fancy DressTwo words that fill me with dread. Fancy Dress. Some people really get off on this - last party I went to that involved dressing up, one bloke came in a sort of fetish-nazi outfit, all tight black pvc, whips and jackboots.* Which would have been OK but it was a Eurovision party, and he'd come as Austria.
What's the worst costume you've encountered? Or worn? Or been made to wear...
*and no, it wasn't one of them royals

Klansmen KickingThe brother of an ex-girlfriend was a devout catholic and was deeply interested in the history of his faith. He was mostly a nice guy but actually thought that the Spanish Inquisition was a good thing.
He thought that it would be witty and amusing to go to a fancy dress party dressed as a Spanish penitent of the inquisition era.
Sadly this costume almost exactly resembles a Klu Klux Klan style outfit (including the tall, white pointy hood).
When asked by an offended party goer why he was dressed in a racist costume, his bright reply of "I'm part of the Auto da Fe, I'm following Torquemada!" sounded an awful lot like a piss take so he got smacked in his pointy hooded face.
A little education is a dangerous thing...

EDIT: At the time that this story was related to me by my then girlfriend, I admitted that I only knew who Torquemada was from reading Nemesis the Warlock in 2000AD. She dumped me not long after that.
