Urban myths – any favourites? Any you can verify as actual “true stories”?
I’m always amused when I hear a familiar story (possible urban myth) with some slight local twist. There’s one story I’ve heard a number of times. No one ever seems to know the person involved but all are sure that it did happen.
It goes something like this:
An unfortunate young woman at a Fēile or Trip to Tipp gig was using the portaloo, as you do, when it was knocked over by some practical jokers hiding behind it. Supposedly it was well into the evening when it happened and this particular loo had collected quite a bit of waste.
To make matters worse the loo fell forward, landing on its door, which made a quick escape impossible. While fumbling around in the dark looking for an exit with pants around her ankles, literally soaked head to toe in human effluence, one must wonder what was going through the poor girl’s mind.
When she was eventually helped out, onlookers stood staring, pointing and laughing and even her friends ran away from her, afraid to even touch her. She was eventually hosed down by gig stewards before being brought to hospital for some serious shots!
There’s another one that involved a surprise party for a girl’s 21st birthday. On her return from work, her friends and family were hiding in her living room. However, when the young woman entered the house she went straight into the kitchen, produced some dog food, called in the dog and eh ... mmm ... lets just say, when everyone burst in shouting “surprise”, they got an awful shock!
If you are the person in either of these stories please let us know![]()
