25 People Share Wild Things They've Seen At A Party
All it takes is a few people in one place, and suddenly anything can happen — sometimes it's magical, sometimes it's just pure chaos. Parties exist in their own little alternate reality, where literally nothing is off the table. One minute it's dance-offs, kissing, and karaoke, the next it's breakups, damaged property, and sick on the carpet. And of course, there's always that one quiet person who develops an entirely new personality the second Fireball makes an appearance. Truly wild times!
I've got to admit — as a full-on nerd (and a musical theatre kid in a past life), the parties I go to these days are pretty tame. We sing show tunes, throw dress-up parties, plan themed dinners, and host board game nights that get wayyy too competitive. But I won't lie: I used to be a full-on feral alley rat, roaming the streets on any given night. So when Reddit user Wonderful-Fall-2230 asked people about the wildest thing they've seen at a party, I thought to myself, I thought I had stories. So put your party-girl pants on — it's about to get wild...
"While camping, I jumped through a raging campfire while wearing a bedsheet like a cape. The cape caught on fire, but I sprinted to the nearby lake. It was glorious. I was completely unharmed. The group did ban 'the move' on all future camping trips, though."
"Some guy put all the metal silverware into the microwave and then went around, daring people to turn it on."
"I went to a 4th of July pool party that was on the side of a mountain. And someone arrived in a paraglider. It was epic!!"
"It was my party, many moons ago. I lived in an older duplex in the University area of our city. To spare some details, the night got WAYYY out of control — at one point, there was even a large pet pig wandering around. Needless to say, the police came and got everyone to leave. The next morning, I woke to find an old tombstone planted in my front yard. The party made the front page news of the paper."
"I was invited to a friend's aunt's 40th birthday party, and even though I didn't know the birthday girl, there was free food and booze, so I thought, Why not? After the party began to wind down, the woman's husband began asking around if we'd seen his wife. After a few minutes, he began knocking on the bathroom door, but there was no response. After knocking louder and louder, he figured his wife was passed out, so he got a paper clip and unlocked the door. Lo and behold, his wife was making out with some random guy; she was only wearing a bra, and her lipstick was smeared all over her face. The dozen people watching nearby quickly shuffled the eff out of there as all hell broke loose."
"In my college days, I was at a party in an apartment on the third floor. It was winter, and it was so crowded that we were shoulder to shoulder. My friend needed to go to the washroom, but he was stuck in the crowd, so he downed his solo cup and relieved himself in the cup. He set it on a stand by the balcony doors. A few minutes later, a girl squeezed through the crowd, picked up the glass, and downed it. Then she said, 'Yuck, that beer is so warm.' We were all in shock."
"I fell asleep at a 'normal' college woke up to a room full of naked people, painting each other in body paint."
"A guy tried to make flaming a carpeted basement"
"The cops came to break up a party I was at, and I got tossed out. When I realized that I had left my cooler of beer at the house, I climbed over the fences of three backyards to get to the back of the house. The cops were still in the front yard, so I snuck in through the open back door, climbed over the kitchen pony wall, and snagged my cooler of beer from the kitchen. Then, I left the same way I came, without a trace. And I must say, beer has never tasted so frickin' good."
"The wildest thing I saw was my friend casually eating a big bowl of snacks while we were hanging out in the kitchen. Then the host came in and asked him why he was eating her cat's food. The cat was staring at him all night, too."
"This gorgeous and nice girl from school got way too lit and took a dump in the was furthermore known as 'the oven sh**er around campus."
"I was just chatting when some random woman walked up and bit a guy on the cheek really hard. A dozen people tossed her out the front door, but she kept trying to break back in through every door and window she could reach. It was like a zombie movie — people were barricading the place with furniture and whatever else they could find."
"My drunk uncle — AKA Druncle — insisted all night he could leap over the bonfire. After hours of people holding him back, he finally went for it. Spoiler alert: he did not make the jump. Severe burns, skin grafts, and hospitalization somehow lived."
"I accidentally threw my uncle off a mechanical bull. I thought the high-speed setting was actually the low, and it immediately threw him off. He reallyyy flew. But to be fair, I shouldn't have been in charge of a mechanical bull remote with that much Hennesey in me."
"I was at a party where a car went through the wall."
"A friend of mine has some money, so when his wife turned 50, they threw a massive party — complete with a parachutist landing in the yard. I'm a volunteer firefighter, and on the way there, my pager went off for a possible plane crash. Turns out the neighbours saw the parachutist and thought a plane had gone down."
No, this isn't a joke prompt: "A horse walked into the bar."
"Guy did a backflip off the roof into a kiddie pool, and somehow didn't die. It was a wild night."
"At a house party in my teens, someone decided that the bathtub should be filled with dirt and plants. It was really kind of amazing until he decided that the plants needed water, and the shower was turned on."
"Somebody fell through one of the skylights on the roof of a warehouse. We'd gone up there using a lift-type thing to go watch fireworks. I was scared right from the get-go, but we went anyway. And a guy fell straight through to the concrete floor below. He lived, but it was so stupid."
"Some guy at a party used his belt as a whip and struck down a chandelier."
"I saw a girl rip another girl's weave off in a fight. Then she climbed a pole and placed it on top of it like a victory scalp."
"I was in Sweden for a wedding in early July. We took a bullet train north for a few hours, then took a bus for a few more hours to reach the Arctic Circle. We sat in a 17th-century barn and drank from 8 pm to 8 am. The sun never went down."
"A guy projectile vomited onto his glass coffee table, and it spilled off the edges like a fountain."
And to end with an aww: "I met the woman I love most in this life at a party."
What about you? Have you ever witnessed something totally unhinged at a party — the kind of story you end up telling at every other party? Drop it in the comments or share it in the anonymous form below. As for me, I've seen my share of chaos. But my "favourite" thing I've seen at a party? Well, I'm biased — I did meet my now-husband at one. So yeah, I guess I'm a big supporter of parties.
