Often when growing up, I would have parties. Invariably I would have them at my parent's home while they were out of town. Shocking, I know. After my first party, I was busted by my parents pretty quickly after they got home because I had not learned the art of cleaning up to make it look like nothing had happened. From that point forward I was very good at cleaning and never got busted again. There was always that stress though that something would break or that I would not clean something exactly right and moving furniture to and from locked rooms was so much hassle that I never enjoyed the parties as fully as I should. Well, two teens in Australia came up with the perfect solution. Two 15 year old girls posed as adults and somehow managed to convince the owner of a luxury apartment to rent it to them. They then proceeded to invite 200 of their closest friends to a party at their new place. Well, as you can imagine, 200 teens created a lot of noise so the police were called and shut the party down and the two teens got a ticket. A ticket! That is all they got. That seems a really good sacrifice for what will probably go down as the greatest party in school history.
My first party I threw was when I was apt. sitting for my older sister while she was out of town. I did the same thing as Enty and did NOT clean up all the beer cans and trash. In the morning my mom came by (we lived in the same apt complex as my sister) and busted my hungover ass. I was grounded the WHOLE summer of my incoming jr year. I learned my lesson for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 16, a junior in HS, I had a huge party - two high schools were invited - when my dad was out of town for the weekend. The next morning I stumbled around (completely hungover) and filled five or six big black trashbags with all the empties. I put them in an unused stable to deal with later... and forgot all about them. Soooo busted.
ReplyDeleteI also learned, that morning, that you DO NOT drink milk when you have a hangover. I've always been a big milk drinker. I felt awful and my stomach was churning, so I drank about a half gallon of milk in a short time, thinking it'd settle my stomach. I puked every few footsteps, all over the property, while I picked up the empties. *ugh*
Wow, those kids are pretty smart! I bet the owner feels PRETTY dumb, right about now.
ReplyDeleteI never got busted by my own parents but I was definitely busted one time on a beach trip, when we were far too young to be drinking anyway. A parent showed up unexpectedly & we thought we'd cleaned up and this nosey mom found a Zima (1990's HOLLA!) label in someone's short's pocket. BUSTED!
threw 1 of those. was really daring of me since we lived on a court and the neighbors all knew my parents were out of town. my boy friend and 2 other couples spent the night (1 couple in my parents bed!). they never knew. months later i found something under a cabinet in the dinning room. i remember pulling it out and realizing what it was from and my mom was there. i just looked at her like 'what IS this' and threw it away. the moment passed. but i about had a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteI'm not doubting that this happened, but it does sound a little fishy.
ReplyDeleteWhen you rent an apartment, you have to fill out forms, give references, often supply a pay stub, and usually give 2 cheques for first and last month's rent. How on earth could two 15-year-old's do this.
I'd say it was a serviced apartment, like a hotel.
ReplyDeletewhy is this a story. I rented a hotel room for a party when I was in high school. Shocker.
ReplyDelete@surfer - it happened.. not far from where i live
ReplyDeleteWon't the landlord/apartment owner sue the girs' parents for the damage? Sounds like something from one of those courtroom shows.
