Longdrops of DOOOOOM!
Festival toilets. What a beautifully horrific thing they are. Closer to the stages you are safe with a (relatively) shit free portaloo, closer to the camping however one has to face the Longdrops of DOOOOOM!
My first experience at download '06:
My friend tried to prepare me for them, mostly her repeating
Whatever you do, try your hardest not to look"
Walk towards longdrop, can smell them halfway across the campsite due to it being the hottest weekend of the year.
Icecream van parked right next to them. TASTY!
Loo rolls hanging on string before you go in. There is a drunk bloke pissing ON the loo rolls.
Find a free cubicle AAAARRRGGHH! the horror! I've seen some shit filled portaloos before but nothing can prepare you for that huge vat of excrement and the splashing noises you hear are the person next to you goes for a dump.
I saw:
3 Jumpers
1 Pair of trainers (and 3 or 4 odd shoes)
A tent
A bloke's wallet - it had landed on the shit free support holding the loo up, but to retrieve it would mean going in.
What I did not see:
The (probably not real) man dressed as a pirate wearing wellies, trudging around the poo and sticking his head up through the occasional loo seat and shouting "POP UP PIRATE!"
I think my friend may have lied to me about that bit

» Faking it
when I was 16/17
I was always sent into the off-licence to buy the vodka because I purposefully carried a ridiculous amount of junk in my bag
Mirrors, hairbrushes, makeup, receipts etc.
If I got asked for ID I would look though my purse, "I know it is in here somewhere I remember putting it in" then proceed to empty the entire contents of my handbag onto the counter in order search through it.
Upon ‘realising’ that I hadn’t got my non-existent ID I would look like I was going to cry and start babbling about how expensive a replacement ID was and that I must have left it on the train, still spreading the contents of my bag across the counter
The idea was to generally hold up as many customers as possible until the person working just sold me the alcohol to get me out of the shop.
Success!

» I met a weirdo on the interweb
you do get some wierdos
I never met someone off of the interweb, but my mate started chatting to some girls on a steps fan website. She met up with them and they turned out to be real. Imagine that - people who actually like steps' music!

» Pointless Experiments
I also used this one for the Dumb things you've done QOTW
I once snorted an orange pixie stick (those little straws full of sherbet)
Just to see what would happen...
What happened was pain...and orange sneezes
