Stupid things you have done wrong and able to laugh at it now

Stupid things you have done wrong and able to laugh at it now

RE: Stupid things you have done wrong and able to laugh at it now
The discussion about id reminded me of one or two things - will mention the lesser of the two.

Me and a couple of mates were on a night out.
One was 18, the rest of us were under.
We had been in a couple of pubs and were moving on to the last one of the night (it was a bar with a late licence).

We got stopped at the entrance by a bouncer, asking for id.
For obvious reasons we didn't have it and we weren't allowed in.

I had the great idea of going back to a previous pub and swapping shirts - based on the idea, that the bouncer would be looking for a blonde guy in a lime green Ben Sherman shirt and brown haired guy in a blue Ben Sherman shirt etc (it was the mid 90's and those shirts were all the rage).

So away we all trotted, into the toilets of a pub around the corner, agreeing who would have each shirt.
Just to add a bit of sparkle to the idea, we thought that walking in as a group would be too obvious and walking in, in pairs would totally confuse the bouncers.

Confidently, we marched towards the pub of choice.
The first two got knocked back by the bouncers - who were clearly not confused, meaning we spent the night in a pub not so fussed about underage guys in shirts which were too big/too small for the person inside them!
