» Apparently I'm a sex offender
After one too many beers
I made my first trip to the toilets in this reasonably modern city pub. On approaching the two doors I noticed there were no 'male' or 'female' signs but rather the sex symbols in 1960s style painting. After some serious thinking I came to the conclusion that the circle with arrow pointing up the way was my port of call.
As I entered I was already in the process of preparing myself to urinate only to be met with three women at the sinks staring at me as my hand was on my crotch. Now, the situation could easily have been fixed if I was sober and able to explain but instead I froze, partially mumbled "sex symbol" before quickly heading towards the door only for it to swing open and hit me leaving me bent over with my fly still open. Of course the newly entering females looked in horror at me before I exited to the sounds of laughing and one large scream of "PEEERRRVEEERT".
The next day I learned the signs were actually the wrong way round. If the person who painted them wasn't an idiot I could have had a nice piss and gone back to my beer in peace.

Bin Bags
Not so much fashion as a poor man's Halloween.
My mother somehow managed to make costumes out of black bin bags for my brother and I for many years. Such costumes ranged from Frankenstein to one year... a liquorice allsort.
Much more fun than the rich kids with their expensive costumes AND we probably got more sweets because they felt sorry for us.

Whisked Hair
A few years ago I went through a young teenage obsession with growing my hair and styling it in numerous awful ways.
I had read an article that punks in the 70s used egg whites to gel their hair. Thinking this would make me look extra cool with added retro points I cracked an egg and whisked it up before putting it in my hair.
Of course I had forgotten about not using the yolk and after 2 minutes of convining myself it would work out alright I ran to the shower.
I use my own clippers now.
