[Closed] What is the worst good time you ever had?

Steps live

I saw Gina G and PJ & Duncan at a uni party, cracking nights but woeful performances. And now i think back i don't think Gina G was actually that fit!!

My stag weekend. Should have been tons of biking over Exmoor but I was compelled to ask a non biker.
So we politely planned a weekend of non biking which was a waste as mr non biker just stayed in and watched telly.
Grrrrrr.

My 21st birthday. All my mates were off at uni gearing up for their finals, and I spent the day at my parents house watching builders put holes in the wrong walls. Actually, I was still living there as I bought my first place two months later.

My 45th birthday this year. We'd been away the start of the week with the kids, so MrsMC decided she was going to work that day, so i got to deal with two crabby overtired kids plus sort out 4 loads of washing on a day when it was peeing down with rain. She also declared that we weren't going out or having a decent feed at home as we'd spent/eaten too much already that week. Was a shit birthday. 👿

Yeah, my stag do was pretty shit too as I remember. As indeed have several I've been on. Best was my now BiL's stag do in Whistler Bike Park. Awesome.

too many to mention - I work for a major arts organisation and have to "entertain" clients at some of our gigs. Ho Hum!

My cousins' 2nd wedding where the food was inedidible, the venue very poor and the entertainment dire but this all followed the best man's speech: too many jokes about his "first" psycho wife and a story about how the groom somehow dropped a turd 😮 on the bathroom floor which the bride then stepped in.

Elton john concert.......followed closely by a van Morrison concert........... 😥

Gisburn.It rained, I realised I am not 18 anymore and I nearly shat myself on the way there. The toilet I JUST made it to in time at the tourist info, had 2 sheets left on it.

Recently...Ligh****er Valley - totally disappointing, really. One decent ride, a couple of rebadged clunky old things, and a load of other stuff you'd normally see on a travelling fairground.

The Lego Movie. Tedious, drearily written shite.

ads - heresy, shurely?

My brother's stag do comes a close second mind you - he was 'forced' to do a top bar rally at about 6pm in the first pub. Half an hour later he was unconscious in a pool of his own vomit outside the pub and no taxis would take him home. Eventually one of his flat-mates walked to his house to get my brother's car and ferried him home (he was pretty pissed too).

The 'party' soon petered out after that and I ended up bumping into someone I half knew in town and went to a nightclub with him. The worst nightclub in town of course.

When Pulp Fiction first came out we managed to book the last two tickets for a screening. 35 mile drive to the cinema and[i] just[/i] managed to get there in time - snatched the tickets from the box office and hurried into the screen.

Had to sit through quite a lot of ads and trailers, glad of the breather initially but then starting to feel a bit daft for rushing. More ads and trailers, start to get an inkling something is wrong... there is more than one screen in this place .....then the card comes up telling you that the British Board of Classification has rated Forrest Gump certificate PG.

By then we'd missed too much of Pulp Fiction to make it worth switching screens and we'd driven too far to just go home, so we opted to just sit there and resent every moment of it instead.

The last motocross GP I went to in Britain, Matterly Basin in, ooo, 2011 or something? Just pap - you sit miles from the track, so there's no atmosphere, not allowed to take your own beer in so you either take a chance and smuggle or pay through the nose. Racing was pretty dull, and the camping facilities which we had paid good money for were as absolutely rudimentary as they could possibly be. And sodding miles from where they parked us.

Never again. (Or, at least, not until they make it good again).

Edit - Re the Pulp Fiction story above, I know a bloke who went to see Avatar at the cinema. As if that's not bad enough, there was a power failure about ten minutes from the end and everyone got booted out. He's never seen the end of it.

Still, Forrest Gump is a decent film.

I did similar with a midnight showing of 'Star Wars: A Jar Jar Binks Calamity' as I was so excited about the new film coming out.

Okay, I take everything back, Steps wasn't my worst experience - that godawful Star Wars film was.

My 21st, while living in California, should have been a celebration of getting back to drinking after a couple of months of [s]sneaking around[/s] not touching a drop.

Except my crazy (and now ex-) girlfriend turned up as a surprise with tickets to Disneyland. Spent my 21st with Mickey and co, followed by a huge fight with her and eating on my own in macdonalds on the night as she slept off her jet lag.

Mountain Mayhem 2012

A nymphomanic girlfriend is fun for a while. But you still need sleep 😀

Still, Forrest Gump is a decent film.

It might be, but having geared myself up for something completely different all I was aware of was the sentimentality and the product placement.

Actually now I think about it not my worst good time though. Turn of the millennium- street parties galore and booze fun and frolics with the luxury of a an extra bank holiday..... someone made such and idiot, cack-handed attempt to break into my car that it was left it un-weather tight, un-securable and undrivable - it was like the hulk had tried to nick it - door stoved and pealed open, dash half adrift, steering wheel collapsed. I had to get my insurers to tow it to somewhere undercover and secure. Except you can imagine - not many people turned up to work their call centre that day - so I spent 4 1/2 hours of millennium eve listening to a loop of the first 5/8ths of 'Come on and rescue me'

I can't go into full details in public, but there was an element of over promise and under delivery. A Wonderbra was involved.

Millenium Eve. More false NYE expectation than normal, more fake wooping than normal, rubbisherer than normal.
Still, quite a while ago now, mustn't dwell on it...
🙄

Getting lost in the Italian Alps. Walked for two days with nothing but a jar of jam and some Fanta. Was an amazing walk/lovely hills but we did get a wee worried. Found a camp site who kindly served us some testicle and gave us a lift.

Another 2000 NYE

DJ on the mic.
"Sorry everyone, I've missed midnight"

🙁

APF

What is the worst good time you ever had?

Being born me ... 🙄

Millenium Eve.

Awoke the following morning in the spare bedroom of my own house (?????) trousers around my knees - apparently my girlfriend had tried to make use of Mr Floppy sometime in the early hours. I doubt it worked though 🙂

Been there got the scars to prove it, in the end you are that tired and sore you just feign sleep.
She was also Bi so it often ended up 3 in a bed!

Apt username then.

😆

I too have been there - was quite relieved after three months that she told me I was no longer required.

Every time I see the mast at Emley Moor I smile to myself though...

EDIT: I did think at the time that it was very odd that a young woman should have a box of tissues in her car but I soon found out why.

Wow - September 7 1991 - you opened my eyes 🙂

Paintballing.

What the chuffing chuff is that all about?

Found a camp site who kindly served us some testicle

Ha never thought about that 😳

Trust me by the end of a night there was no shooting, never was the expression "drained" more apt.
And I was a randy 21 year old then!

Probably an almost limitless number of excruciating first dates in my life, that just remind me that I have / had absolutely no idea of how to even speak to the opposite sex.

In my mad desperation I even drove all the way from Kent to near Carlisle for a blind date. Which failed. Years ago, though now, mind.

Doors reunion concert.

I liked a few of their songs when Val Kilmer did the biopic, but can;t say I'm that much of a fan. My sis bought me and the Mrs expensive tickets to see them at the MEN. Ian Astbury (of The Cult, a band I never liked) was standing in for Morrison.

Tedious, self-indulgent, droning dirge. Absolutely no merit, and no atmosphere. We left sharpish and went home. Never did tell my sister....

Minor compared to some of the above, but The UK Wolf centre at Beenham in Berkshire would have been a very good miss.

More of a 1970s zoo than a serious conservation effort, in our experience. Sadly, this is one of my most read and most 'helpful' TripAdvisor reviews!

Disappointing, no stories yet of getting "Tong Ting" when "Ting Tong" was advertised..... 😉

Vegas.

Disneyland Paris. Mention it everytime someone on here asks about it, but it is the single worst place I've ever been in my miserable life.
They blast out "happy" music at earsplitting volumes the whole time. The food is crap.
It was sweltering hot and everything we wanted to go on had massive queues. Now I don't know if you've heard, but European folk, lovely as they are, just don't have the same concept of queueing as us Brits. They let their kids meander in and out of the queuers, they try to push in, but worst of all, they queue SO CLOSE to the person in front. One bloke kept touching me everytime the queue moved forward. I ended up embarrassing the family by shouting right in his face to back off. It was hot, I was stressed!
Later, they had the bloody parade. The parade you're not allowed to miss! You try to escape and they barricade your every exit. In the end you have to sit there and wait... wait and wait and wait while this endless bloody parade jollies it's way past. More blasting jolly music and pretty lights burning into your brain.
Amongst all this, my kid managed to fall off a fence onto his nose.Splat. Waaaah!
Never again.

Another vote for Vegas.

Complete and utter shithole.

All inclusive holidays

Everything included except anything to do, or some decent beer.

the whole of 1993

Leicester.

Not sure it was supposed to ever be good though.

Can't say I was pleased to see the nympho American chick finish her 3 months in the uk, my word, I felt used! Bloody brilliant.

Looking forward to Disneyland Paris in August now....with the in laws.... 🙄

Actually, Millenium Eve: MrsMC - as she became a couple of years later - had a shocking flu bug that was going round at the time. In fact she was possibly the only person affected by a Millenium Bug.

Pretty much every party I've ever been to. Not a party animal, me.

Stars and Cars Keswick.

I used to be really into Cars so couldn't wait to see all the Cars from the Films and it's basically a few cars in some guys garage. Charges about £8 for a walk round that takes 5 mins.

There's many more but I think I'm just boring and don't enjoy anything that's supposed to be fun but find things that are boring more interesting.

Cher in concert,utter shite
Torquay!

I remember actively trying to fall asleep at a Tori Amos gig. Probably not the worst thing, but it's the one that sprung to mind.

Pulling a fat chick and sobering up enough to realise my mistake after it was too late :@

Isle of Wight festival.

Like locking yourself outside your house for the weekend, then passing the time by watching VH1 through the front window, and occasionally walking half an hour to an off licence to pay £50 for 4 tins of Carling. In the pissing rain.

Leicester.

It's not that bad 🙁

Comedowns are the worst part of a good time.

I'm afraid it is, or certainly was. I've made a conscious effort not to return for the last 12 years!

That boite in Maputo..... I should have asked for my money back....

The thermos flask museum in Delsbo, Sweden was slightly disappointing. Especially as it was closed the day we were there.
