3/4
Tenuous link to house party theme, but we were teenagers (19) and it did start as an innocent enough Uni house party:

Then 4 of us decided to go to VodBull in the Birmingham Academy. We'll call them mates #1, #2 and #3 to protect the innocent.

We get there and each consume an equal amount (?8 doubles) of vodka.

Story of Mate #1:
I'm called outside by security guards to find mate #1 leaning against the wall, vomiting. He's being consoled by two members of the homeless community. Well, one's consoling, one's stealing his wallet.

I spirit him back to his gaff in a taxi with ALL windows wound FULLY down and him sticking his head out one vomiting. Put him to bed, as he settles the phone at the end of his be rings. Who could this be?

Story of Mate #2:
"Hello there, this is Officer X of the West Midlands Police. Do you know a [name of Mate #2]"

"Er, yes"

"We've found him slumped on the ring road [very busy road in Birmingham] near Snobs nightclub"

"Oh ok, shall I come and get him"

"yes please"

[those of you who know Birmingham will know it's a long way from the Academy to Snobs when you can't walk]

I engage the same taxi driver to return to town . Find Officer X and mate #2 in a doorway, crying his eyes out. Cajole him into taxi, journey proceeds as with mate #1. return him to his bed. He confesses on the way that he accused officer X of stealing his phone, and, when it was returned, throwing the phone across the ring road: "didn't want it anyway"

Return to the academy (why the hell not?) and stand at the bar idly wondering about mate #3

Story of Mate #3:
When, out of the corner of my eye, I spot mild-mannered, bookish mate #3 snogging a girl. "Oh, I didn't realise mate #3's GF was here" thinks I.

[bear in mind mate#3 and his gf were, and still are, THE REAL THING. They were and are very much in love. They are ever faithul to one another]

The snogging couple turn around. It is immediatley clear that the snogee is not mate#3's gf of 2 years, but some entirely random female.

To this day, the GF in question has no idea of the events that transpired.

Sequel #1: The next day, a colleague in the lab tells of seeing a bloke fitting the discription of mate #2 weaving his way over the ASTON EXPRESSWAY.

Sequel #2: The next day, mate #2 is shopping for a new phone. Who should he run into but officer X? Oh how they laughed.

Apols for length and tenuous link to original question.
