I heard a fabulous story at work today.
So this is a young guy, in his first job, and having grown up in a relative back water he's come to London to seek his fortune in IT. He's very early 20s, nice bloke but like all of us, still has a lot to learn about life.
He was in Las Vegas last week supporting a big project we were running. By all accounts he gave a professional account of himself. The words used by his boss were 'he really became a man that day'.
How prophetic that turned out to be.
He wasn't working the last day and because everyone else in the team was, he went out on his own the night before to savour the earthly delights of Las Vegas. He goes to various bars, gets very drink and strikes up a conversation with a random woman, who, by his own honest retelling of the story, he then takes her back to his hotel room and proceeds to have sex with her.
Then in the morning, he wakes up having passed out through drink only to find that the lady has done a runner with his laptop, two mobile phones, iPod and iPad and his wallet.
At this point, one of the seven or so women listening to this story in the office (in hysterics I might add) asked if she had been worth it, to which he said, 'I don't know I don't even remember what the sex was like, I don't even remember her name', to which we all rightly ask how he knows he done the deed.
This is the best part - he knows because he found the used prophylactic by the bed in the morning!
He spent most of the following day having to do interviews with the local cops to report the theft and then complete insurance forms for the items taken. Quite what he put on those forms I would love to see!
He's now a legend in the company and no it's not me, before anyone asks.
That's a story for the grandkids, that's for sure!
Yeah and the best man's speech.
No one keep an eye on him ?? 🙄
He's in his 20's not early teens
Awesome - good lad!!
how he knows he done the deed.This is the best part - he knows because he found the used prophylactic by the bed in the morning!
If he got into that kind of state Id ask him if his arse hurt the morning after.
Similar story from a lad who worked with a mate, except:
On waking to find his trousers missing with his wallet in, for some reason, he decided to curl one off in the bed as revenge before legging it, only to find the lady downstairs ironing his strides.
That story barely tickled the depravity-meter above zero.
He needs tigers, ladyboys and/or glass coffee tables to get this one to fly.
*leaves thread disappointed*
Edit: that's more like it Tang
I don't find any of it funny. 😐
tang....legendary....
If it wasn't for the fact I know I'd be banned I'd tell you some stories about the activities of some of the consultants we used to have come visit us in Asia. One involving the use of Strepsils and contact lens cleaner as emergency disinfectants on a trip to Thailand is particularly funny.
Hilarious, similar thing happened to a woman I work with at the Christmas party. She got hammered. This guy in accounts decided to take advantage, took her to a hotel gave her a good going over and she had no memory of it the nexr morning. First she knew was seeing the remains of the wet patch when she got up. Hilarious, she's a legend at work now.
funny innit!

Or the one where she falls asleep pissed, so he pisses in her kettle for revenge, does a runner, feels guilty, goes back to empty the kettle and gets caught by a passing police car trying to get back in through her bedroom window.
Not sure Charliemjngus's story is funny.
it's the FHM/Loaded "My Mate....." section

Is it not just the OP's story with the genders of the protagonists reversed ?

Yeah, she reckons he did some of that as well.
Vegas is an awful place. Not sure I have any interest in going back there (the desert is a different matter) however clearly too many people seem to think the "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" cliche is true as I overheard one half of a conversation in a hotel when a bloke had clearly been grassed up for sleeping with a prostitute to his wife by a mate or colleague and seemed to be getting it both barrels from the other half.

In Vegas that costs double.

At least he was only sleeping....
