            Not quite on a par with walking home from a nightclub drunk at 2:30AM in the middle of winter, when home is actually 12 miles into the countryside, and all the way the 5 brain cells that have remained responsibly sober are nagging you not to give to tiredness and go to sleep in the snow because you'll die if you do, and that the people you can see on the pavement probably aren't really there but are just in your drunken tired delirious mind, and just because a road isn't a straight line doesn't mean necessarily mean the road builder was drunk and the direct route across 400ft cliffs is not necessarily the best route when its dark, freezing and you're drunk.

            But close.

              I can beat that story!

              In 2010, I was out with 5 girls, I ended up with one of them (not sexually) as they all left to go meet their boyfriends, and the other one I gave my last £20 to go bar as I went toilet, and when I got back, she claimed I had not given her any money and played dumb, so I told her I'd never speak to her again.

              I then walked home from Manchester centre, down a dual-carriageway, and ended up outside Old Trafford, and I had about 20 grainy pictures of it on my phone.

              I was obsessed with closing this gate infront of it.. and when I was on the phone to my girlfriend, it's all I could talk about....

              It took me 5 hours to walk home..

              I'm lucky I wasn't splated by a lorry, as Trafford is known for being an industrial area of Manchester/Salford.

              Mild, every day stuff my friend:)

              Wait til you get home one morning to discover that just one of your trouser legs has gone missing. Or accept a lift with someone who in the dead of night while tired and delirious you mistake for a work colleague but who is actually a mad axe murderer hell bent on taking 90 degree bends at 90+mph in 30 zone by pulling the handbrake while giggling hysterically.

              I accepted a lift off a randomer last night! Albeit, it was for about 20 seconds (taxi driver who didn't know where he was going, so asked me to get in..)

              But I'm alive!!

              And we can't all have cool lives like you, Clueless :D
