I once went to a wedding that I wasn't invited to... so embarassing

My former MIL "told" us we received a wedding invitiation.  We were supposed to go with former MIL to the wedding.  XH barely knew the bride.  Former MIL decided not to go that day.  We went to the wedding and knew absolutely no one.  Turns out bride got into a HUGE fight with her stepmom (friends with former MIL) and they both "decided" not to go.  We didn't know this bit of info until later.  We went to the reception only to discover that we didn't have placecards.... because we were NEVER invited.  I was mortified.  We left immediately (still during cocktail hour).

  • One time I poured some cereal because I thought I had milk, but I didn't have any milk at all.  I had to pour the cereal back in the box.  .

  • Lesson learned, eh?
    It's good you got out when you did.
    Sounds like something out of a weird dream.

    <div>At least you didn't pour orange juice into your cereal instead of milk.</div>

    Done it.  Except instead of OJ, it was berry flavored soy milk.  While delicious in smoothies, not so great on frosted mini wheats.

    <div>I've done it with grape juice.  This discussion made me want chocolate milk, but our brand new milk smells bad.  :(</div>

    Trumped.  That's way worse than being out of milk.

  • One time on a date I was unfamiliar with the ethnic dining presentation/order/protocol, I ended up eating my date's dinner along with mine.

    I didn't realize it until afterward when I thought "Why didn't the main course come...and why did he not try any of the green stuff??  Oh."

  • I love how everyone is continuing on with the randomness.  For the record, I didn't start it. OP did. Laughing

  • I once crashed a wedding reception that I wasn't invited to but was invited to the wedding.  How rude of the bride!
  • One time I was a drunken teenager and someone shook the porta pot while I was peeing until I got dizzy so when I came out I ended up throwing up. True story, although not one I'm proud of ;)
