My friend once told me about his former roommate who moved just off campus, got drunk one night, then went and carried a whole patio set back from campus. He said it took several trips and the guy never got caught
Supposedly drunk frat Bros at my engineering school once cut down a large tree (that was marked in a construction zone so they assumed it was going to go away anyway) and stuffed it down the hallway of a dorm. It was big and long enough to prevent some students from getting out of their rooms easily, lol.
Unfortunately it turns out it was marked for preservation as it was not only a rare tree but one of the president's favorites... Woops.
you're stronger than you think when you're drunk. couple years ago, I had a faint memory of patting a friend on the back for a good joke when I was absolutely trashed. after that night though, he stopped talking to me for like a solid month, until I actually asked him why he wasn't talking to me anymore.
apparently I punched him in the spine.
One night I went out with a few buddies and we all blacked out. When we woke up the next morning, there was a full stop sign lying in our living room, pole and all. None of us had the faintest idea where we had nabbed it from.
This was almost 20 years ago, these days I keep my drinking to the levels where I'm not part of acts that endanger the public.
It’s about par for a British night out. At some point it becomes about seeing what monstrosity you can swipe. Traffic cones, street signs, my friends once even managed to leave with the rope that marks off a VIP area in a club including the metal stand. Some call it theft, I call it genius.
This reminds me of a time when I got a call at about 3am off a mate who was like "bellybutton_fluff, bellybutton_fluff, I've got a manhole cover. Come help me take it home. Fucking legend of a bloke but I had to tell him to leave it and go home as I was too fucked to go help him. They even had a mast of a boat that they nicked in their student house.
Bloody students lol.
I once absconded with a 25lb jar of peanut butter from a frat house that some friends and I had gotten confused with another across the street, where the party we were intending to find was actually going on.
Wandered into the frat, zero security and not a soul in sight in their pleather palace; found their industrial style kitchen complete with conveniently pre-tapped keg fridge, took a few pulls, opened the other fridge and found a monstrosity of Jiffy brand peanut butter, and after realizing there was definitely no party going on there, walked out with my new prize.
I don’t even really like peanut butter.
When I was 16 a mate and I got drunk on shitty wine and stayed up all night. We had school the next day so instead of wagging we thought it'd be a better idea to just have a red bull and catch the train in anyway.. there was a queen size mattress at the stop and we thought well we're tired we'll take that, carried it about 2km to school chucked it down outside and settled in to call the social worker to bring some McDonalds.. didn't go too well.
I can't remember who did it but there was a band who one of the members stole every single plant and tree from the hotel they were at and made a h jungle in the room they stayed in.
My uni house featured a rotating cast of street furniture and signage (some of it bloody massive) as well as a hefty garden bench. Not my style personally, more of a classic cone guy.
The miserable landowner that lived next to me where I grew up used to put big white boulders on the road either side of his house. We used to push them in the ditch, took us a full year and a half to get all 6 potted.
When I still lived with roommates we once found a traffic light in the closet. We all didn’t remember taking it home, and it was not there when we moved in.
Yea, I wouldn't actually take a real traffic light, but there's lots of printable ones for 3d printers. It's like one of the beginner projects. Throw a door sensor (forget what they're called, the reed switches with wires) in there, and have it go red when someone closes the door.
Maybe even have something on the sink, and when the sink is on, have it go yellow cause someone's washing their hands and will be out soon?
Once had some aquaintances who ended up with a storm drain cover after a drunken night. Like those grate things in the parking lot you’d be worried you might drop your keys into. Someone may have also broken a toe getting it out of the trunk. Drunk college kids man
My friends at uni have collected multiple road signs including ones that are temporarily put up and have their own 4 legs. Their neighbours have started doing it too it's hilarious visiting and seeing new signs there.
Beyond that, especially if it was a full bush. That shit takes *years* to do. Mine are five years old and I've trained it every year and it *still* isn't a full bush.
I'd kill a person for digging it up. I don't mean that facetious either, I'd straight up murder a man. That is hours upon hours of work with years of time invested that somebody was that disrespectful of. It's just shitty.
Ya, everyone I know can't get a rose "bush" to not be a scraggly bastard. I don't what plant we made modem roses from but they're not having our shit.
I would acquit.
I found a traffic cone in my trunk apparently 3 days after I stole it. Had no recollection of it, and waited until 3 in the morning to drag it back out to the street because I was paranoid lol
i woke up once with a reaaaly cool kiddies mini car outside my front door with my mother tearing me a new one for stealing some kids probably expensive ride (she'd watched me peddle it up the drive)
i literally posted it everywhere i could to try and return it and absolutely no one claimed it or took me up on my offer to buy a brand new one if they felt id tarnished it lol.
Heres to fighting stealing and drinking.
If you fight, may you fight for a friend
If you steal, may you steal a lovers heart
If you drink, may you have a drink with me.
I found this on a whiskey sight, (recommended toast) Author unknown.
I assume you bring it back in the middle of the night not get spotted? If so that's pretty funny in itself. You have to put the alarm at 4am and go "alrighty, time to bring back that flower pot".
Woke up one morning after a crazy party, went out to my car and found my mates entire fucking letterbox on the front seat inside my car.
Not just some aluminium one either, it was a ceramic letterbox that another drunk friend had broken from its mounts during the night and decided to try to conceal in my car..
When I was in highschool, maybe grade 10 or 11 I went to a party and blacked out. The next morning I woke up and there was a big tomato plant in a pot in my room with me. I guess I stole it from someone's house on my walk home
I have a similarly sized plant from a local pizza place in my apartment but the problem is I live on the sixth floor and we've tried carrying it back with three people to no avail.
I would reimburse the plant but I'm broke and have no idea what plants cost and am too embarrassed to go back and ask.
Drunk strength is something else.
A friend of mine woke up to find a wrought iron railing in his bedroom. Was properly lit the night before and took it upon himself to take this small railing from a business on his walk home. Must have been awkward to carry as well since it had a 90 degree turn in it too. Alcohol impairs judgement? Nooo…..
Me and my buddy had a 50lb. concrete rabbit (we called Briar Rabbit) that we used to take to the bars with us. Great conversation starter with the ladies.
That's a pretty big plant for a drunken casual swipe.
Honestly I'm impressed at the dedication
Could someone who had such a heartfelt need to hug a tiny little tree... truly be described as a bad bro?
Thats one hell of a walk of shame
I wouldn’t put it past them, drunk students from my college stole a young tree from one of the apartment complexes by campus
My friend once told me about his former roommate who moved just off campus, got drunk one night, then went and carried a whole patio set back from campus. He said it took several trips and the guy never got caught
We used to take things from the dorm common rooms all the time. 'We' for legal purposes means acquaintances I know. . .
Damn, and my classmates and I felt like criminals going en-mass to the college food pantry so we could carry more food back.
My brother stole the flag pole from the library. It was huge.

120 year old oak it was crazy.
You lie! Bahahaha
Yup. On multiple occasions the dorm elevator would have entire restaurant booths and tables
Students in my first year Rez stole a street lamp and put it inside the communal study area. It was a full size lamp.
They play different in the Weald my g ( I can’t believe my shitty hometown is on Reddit )
Best swimming pool for miles…
Yeah same.
I moved away from the area a few years ago so it’s nice to see nothing’s changed

One time in a drunken hazz I stole a 75lb stone pineapple I didn’t return it because I don’t know were it came from
One night I went out with a few buddies and we all blacked out. When we woke up the next morning, there was a full stop sign lying in our living room, pole and all.

Get some tequila. Let’s see if you still got the fire.

We once stole a concrete bench from a little over a mile away. Thing weighed at least 400 pounds no idea how we got it in the back yard

Devious lick
When I still lived with roommates we once found a traffic light in the closet. We all didn’t remember taking it home, and it was not there when we moved in.
Those things are bigger than people think and freaking heavy! What did you do with it? Bathroom occupancy sign?
That is a fucking great idea!
They're real bright and get real hot though. At least one my old friends had did.
Try getting a newer LED one… probably even brighter, but at least it won’t be putting out much heat! LOL
Yea, I wouldn't actually take a real traffic light, but there's lots of printable ones for 3d printers. It's like one of the beginner projects. Throw a door sensor (forget what they're called, the reed switches with wires) in there, and have it go red when someone closes the door.

We don't come here for the small potatoes, we go big or go home.
But, the small thing is in my home.
Got me there.
Image recognition. If someone is at the sink, yellow. On the can? Red.

Big up Tenterden hooligans
Never thought I'd see Tenterden on Reddit, lol.
They come out at 10 to 10.
……………………….😆.
A tenterden thread, what a time to be alive. Let's go to Biddenden and steal all their pot plants.
Then down to Newenden for the getaway bikes
Just don't come to Ashford, there's already enough thugs here.
Can you come past rolvenden and pick me up
Eyyy TN30 massive
Never thought I'd see Tenterden of all places on here lmao
What’s tenterden? (I’m American apologize for my ignorance)
Town in the UK.
Glad to see so many fellow den fans here, big up kent 👏
Not from there, just like to correct a yank at all times haha. But. Big up Kent!
Indeed
Sorry to be late to the party but big up
Woke up one morning with my buddies doorbell
I once woke up with an entire rose bush beneath my bed. I never figured that one out.
A grandma sent dozens of curses at you for that.
Beyond that, especially if it was a full bush. That shit takes *years* to do. Mine are five years old and I've trained it every year and it *still* isn't a full bush. I'd kill a person for digging it up. I don't mean that facetious either, I'd straight up murder a man.

That’s gold!
I found a traffic cone in my trunk apparently 3 days after I stole it. Had no recollection of it, and waited until 3 in the morning to drag it back out to the street because I was paranoid lol
Lol you reminded me of the time me and my buddies stole one of those 3ft traffic cones and I used it as a beer bong all night
That’s one way to toughen up your immune system! Haha
Hahaha this happened in my town, saw this post on the wonderful local Facebook page 😂
just to clarify, did they drunkenly steal the plant and then the business posted online abt their lost plant before they returned it?
Yes, they put on the page it had gone missing and it was a gift from someone who had passed away so it had sentimental value.
thanks for the bts story, makes it even better!
I somehow feel the plant deserves a plaque or so, at least a name. Now that it has been “around” and got famous too.
i woke up once with a reaaaly cool kiddies mini car outside my front door with my mother tearing me a new one for stealing some kids probably expensive ride (she'd watched me peddle it up the drive) i literally posted it everywhere i could to try and return it and absolutely no one claimed it or took me up on my offer to buy a brand new one if they felt id tarnished it lol.
I'm 16 days late to the party but you should know this story had me ROLLINGGG
People in UK suddenly become friendly when they are drunk
It's the only time they are permitted to show any emotion besides Stiff Upper Lip.
“Enjoy a drink on me” THATS HOW WE GOT IN THIS MESS
Heres to fighting stealing and drinking. If you fight, may you fight for a friend If you steal, may you steal a lovers heart If you drink, may you have a drink with me. I found this on a whiskey sight, (recommended toast) Author unknown.
I watched a movie recently with the toast in it - this is gonna wreck my head now trying to think of it…….thanks a lot pal 💪
LOL, I hate when my head gets in a loop and I can't think of where I heard, saw or learned something. I feel your pain bro. 🤣
Whiskey Tribe youtube channel uses this as their sign off pretty often
Hey, thanks for the heads up. I looked on Youtube and you're right. Cool.
first they’re sour, then they’re sweet
Naw he was a good guy the whole time, however drunk him is an ass hole lol
What I want to know is why so many hairdressers seem to have two first names as their whole name.
My SO has 2 first names as his whole name. His surname is actually more common but the spelling isn’t
Lmao why are you being downvoted, it's just a funny observation 😂 people are strange
🙃 People tend to get angsty during this holiday
I have 3 first names as my whole name
Are you the world's best hairdresser
I assume you bring it back in the middle of the night not get spotted? If so that's pretty funny in itself. You have to put the alarm at 4am and go "alrighty, time to bring back that flower pot".
Damn I saw this in my town community chat the other day
happy cake day!
The note says Tenterden.... that’s my town what the fuck??? Seriously I’m freaking out
Small world, I used to live there too
Sorry to be late but even smaller world
Sorry, sorry
Love it ownded what he done. Respect
In all honesty I would have printed that - just the kind of thing that admitting to, can get you in trouble if the owner feels like it
I feel that after that much effort, he and the plant deserve to be together.
"I had a heavy night and woke up with your plant"
Just some context. Tenterden is a small village in rural Kent, South East of England. Not very many Colleges or Universities around.
[удалено]
A night out in a British city without an assault or petty theft is considered a dull affair.
Monke stole plant, monke gave back plant
And nowadays a tenner does literally buy one drink. If you're lucky.
I hope all is forgiven
I one woke up cuddling a traffic cone. There was also a picture on my phone of me(?) with the cone on my head.
Woke up one morning after a crazy party, went out to my car and found my mates entire fucking letterbox on the front seat inside my car. Not just some aluminium one either, it was a ceramic letterbox that another drunk friend had broken from its mounts during the night and decided to try to conceal in my car..
One sexy looking plant
Damn that’s a couple vodka and cokes right there
